At first I thought your post was going to argue against excessive child proofing.
Is it possible the only reason the child decided to drink the bleach was because they'd never been able to get into cupboards before? Maybe if their home wasn't excessively sanitized they wouldn't drink everything they came across.
Not being a parent, I don't know if that's too much to ask from a 3 year old.
I'm travelling from Auckland to Halifax, CA later this year. This 'trivial bit of beauracracy' has made me decide to travel via Vancouver rather than via LA.
Of course you can dismiss me as a liar if I'm telling you something you don't want to hear.
Surely some rational slashdot analysis of water related child deaths would suggest otherwhise.
That warning seems to be advising you to only use the beach ball in swimming pools, while under the supervision of adults and not to rely on it to keep you afloat.
As far as warning labels go, it sounds pretty reasonable.
Dude, it's because all the Hot Chicks take humanities classes.
Obviously CompSci nerds aren't expected to actually talk to any of the girls in the classes. However, the forced proximity will allow us ^H^H them to overcome stuttering and nervousness normally resulting from interaction with said Hot Chicks.
Transmission losses are one of the biggest arguments in heating the home with gas vs. electric, since with gas you're getting 100% of the avalible heat from the fuel, as opposed to electric where at most 90% of the heat is converted into electricity at the plant, you lose another 7% in transmission and then another 1-2% in the heater itself = 18-19% energy loss from a coal or natural gas power plant vs. heating with gas in the home.
You've got the right idea but your numbers are way off.
A modern large CCGT plant might push 60% efficiency. With transmission losses energy loss is close to 50%.
First they came for the child pornography on the internet... and I spoke up Then they came for the organized crime on the internet... and I spoke up Then they came to 'protect the children' against 'vulgar images'... and I spoke up Then they came for the illegal warez... and I spoke up Then they came for my bittorrent... and I couldn't be bothered anymore Then they came for me... and I wondered why it took them so long

The Massachussets/Montana comparison certainly makes sense.
So you're saying that densely populated American states/cities don't lag beind the rest of the world? Serves me right for listening to people on Slashdot I guess.
I don't understand how the total size of the US has anything to do with the broadband penetration in its highly populated cities.
The world is a sparsely populated space, and yet certain highly populated countries manage to set up efficient broadband networks.
What's stopping, say, the state of Massachussets from implementing its own broadband network.
Is there perhaps some sort of regulation that requires equal pricing accrss the country? I could understand how this would require higher profit areas (cities) to subsidize lower profit areas (rural areas).
This must be the first time someone is proud that they're better than Australia at the internets. Australia is good at lots of things. Broadband penetration is not one of them.
However, there's couple of factors you neglected to mention. Naxx at lvl 60 was never nerfed significantly, so only a tiny percentage of players had Kel'thuzad gear. On the other hand, sunwell at level 70 was 'puggable' after the final nerf. Hence, far more people had access to the final tier of BC gear.
Secondly, the stamina cost was decreased going from 60-70, so entry level 70 tanking gear was much better than lvl 60 gear.
hey! Doodad_spider_door02 is a very appropriate name for the second door in the spider wind. And the 'doodad' is an insight into the developer's mental state at that time.

It really was.
The sense of community in 'hardcore' mode was much much greater than 'softcore'.
Interestingly, the first level 99s (after patch 1.10) were hardcore mode.

This, friends, is why we come to /. for legal advice.

I often describe my job as turning numbers into pretty graphs for dumb people.
Seriously?

7 isn't even, it's odd.
Is that some snazzy marketting name for windows 7? Sorry, but that's put me off already.

Even after reading the article it took me a long time to see the 'g' in there.

"Solar lottery" by Philip k Dick was based on this premise.

The age at which thinkers produce significant innovations increased about six years during the 20th century
This seems pretty insignificant when human life expectancy increased by more than 25 years during the 20th century.
