I really encourage you to reconsider your opinion of television shows like Sesame Street. I'm studying to be an engineer at a prestigious university and my personal experiences lead me to believe that I was inspired by shows like Sesame Street, The Magic School Bus, and Bill Nye to go for a science and math oriented career.
I think your son would definitely benefit from watching more than just football once in a while.
I'm asian-american and if I filled out that form I'd be putting down hamburgers, mac and cheese, chicken pot pie, etc. down as well. Why? Because they're damn tasty that's why. I grew up eating both Chinese food and American food and in terms of which is my favorite well... My body likes calories. I don't like american culture more than anyone else, but how can you hate on ooey-gooey mac and cheese?
It's pretty simple.
Why learn linux? What's the point? Seriously I'm taking a cs lab right now teaching linux and we just went over shell scripting. The biggest question I have is how is this useful to anybody ever? Oh in VI if you press 5dd you can cut 5 lines!!! Except in notepad this is a completely trivial problem. Why use linux when there's already windows?
I can't believe how grossly misquoted the article is. Whoever summarized this article needs to be shot.
One surprising statistic, however, occurs when the stats are organized by sex. Slightly more women than men (30.9 percent versus 28.6, respectively) expressed Apple's iPhone as a first choice...not much of a difference. However, when it comes to phones running Android, a significant number of men versus women (32.6 percent versus 22.8 percent) would choose the Google mobile platform.
The numbers support an opposite argument, that women have a marginal or nonexistent preference for the iPhone while there is a statistically significant preference from men for Android phones.
How did I know that without having to look that up? God this woman grinds my gears and I hope she dies begging for alms with the same self righteous attitude.
I own a CM6 rooted Froyo android phone and I've had this problem with some youtube videos being inaccessible ever since I've had the phone. That this isn't common knowledge is just surprising.
Why not repackage those old IE6 apps as actual standalone programs. So instead of users launching IE6 to access the company accounting application by going to a URL, make programs that launch IE6 loaded onto a particular application. Users would click on an "Initech Accounting" program, for example, that directly links to the desired application. The browser would be modified to not allow using IE6 to browse to any pages outside of the application and would have the URL navigation bar and everything else removed.
Company computers would have these "programs" installed onto machines while still having a normal updated IE browser to do other web surfing tasks. This way the computers could shift over to Windows 7 and use the latest browser while legacy applications could still be accessed.
Forgive the marketing speak, but this would be a win win for all parties involved. Microsoft provides an alternative that allows businesses to switch to the latest software, businesses maintain access to their legacy applications, and the internet moves on from IE6 as everyone will be using a modern browser. Plus making the change to a legacy application should be fairly straightforward and painless. Just wrap IE6 and the application inside a "program" with no necessary changes to the actual code. Painless in comparison to rewriting the app from scratch.
What do you think? Am I missing the mark with this idea, what are some potential problems that could come up? Or should I contact Microsoft immediately and offer this solution.
Even if this doesn't lead to any sort of treatment(which seems highly doubtful), it still has applications to cancer treatment and prevention. One thing that comes to mind might be to collect cells from a patient's body in various places and do a genome sequencing of these cells. Take that information and compare it to common cancer mutations and you've got a way to assess the risk of how likely someone is to develop cancer. Genetics is epic.
Too bad I'm an undergrad engineering student and I'm in America. So what country out there really is the best place to work as an engineer? Because I'll learn the language necessary as soon as possible to work there.
Numbers and meaning don't enjoy a one to one relationship. 58.44 might be the gram mass of a mole of sodium chloride but it also could be a number of other things. The gram mass of a mole of sodium chloride, on the other hand, can only be 58.44. It's just bad hashing.
I understand that you're concerned for the safety of your child, but you're really assuming the worst will happen. You're also overlooking the fact that your daughter is a bright individual and that she can take care of herself so much as finding her way home or reaching you. Besides, if you start tracking your daughter when do you draw the line? Are you going to make sure that all of her friends are ok to play with? Are you going to pick out what she eats so it's what you think is healthy? At what age do you stop tracking your daughter? What about dating in the future? Are you going to lock your daughter in a tower?
As a parent I'd rather trust my children and they'd rather have me trust them.
The inability to disprove something that also can not be proven is a moot argument and holds no merit.
And what happens when all these points previously used to defend ID start to disappear one by one, where eventually the entire evolutionary chain is complete without conscious intervention?
First off, chill out. The internet is serious business and all, but that's pretty lame.
Second, you acted as if ArcherB (ArcherB, not Archer8 if you want to play precise prick. Unless that 8 is supposed to be some kind of ironic) was completely off the mark about the 8 years. Sure, you didn't say anything about 8 years but that doesn't really change the merit of what he was saying. Maybe the 8 was made up shit, but the years part wasn't.
Look at this statement. "No, you said that Bush had eight years to build up a reputation. His inauguration protests prove that the hatred toward him had nothing to do with anything he did in office as they started before his inauguration!"
If I change that statement to "No, you said that Bush had years to build up a reputation. His inauguration protests prove that the hatred toward him had nothing to do with anything he did in office as they started before his inauguration!" does that somehow make the statement invalid?
Chill out dude, everyone's friends here.
You realize that microbes already in nature have been evolving the moment they've showed up?
Any sort of creation we make in the lab right now will ultimately be weaker than any successful microbe.
Green goos already exist, they cause common colds.
Someone explain this to me. Why is open source in the military good again? I mean I thought that the whole point of open source was that many eyes make bugs shallow, which is understandable for normal consumer code, but who's going to willingly work on code used specifically for the military? Would that be considered participating in war? What about other countries taking the code and using it or exploiting it in some way?

OK but how hard is it to take the phone through normal use case scenarios while monitoring things like data usage, battery drainage, memory leakage?
Seriously, does no one do field testing anymore?

It's legitimate. And it's also happening to me.

Would rather have excellent and inspiring teachers.
Also good cafeteria food.

That's fucked up. Did they chain you to your chair while you were working too? Sounds like slave labor.
