A Priest, a Rabbi, and a Shaman all walk into a bar, only there's no Rabbi and no Shaman, and it's my eighth birthday party, and the Priest is molesting me.
And the priest is my Dad and he's not really a priest.
I think this report was the closest thing to what you're describing, even though it's just an animated slideshow of events as they occurred. It perfectly explains the series of events that led to people mistaking an innocent man for a terrorist and shooting him in the face. It doesn't excuse them, but it changes to context from excessive police brutality and paranoia into a glorious chain of fuckups and unfortunate coincidences which were either unavoidable or resolvable with more communication. A lot of uneducated people were screaming with blind rage at what happened until they saw the reports like this, explaining how it happened using not just text, but as an interactive approach.
Personally, I found that a lot of people were still angry after, but at the systems in place that enabled all the mistakes rather than the men with the guns - everyone acted appropriately for the information they had, but no-one had the information they needed.
That story was always there, I remember in the poster descriptions are my local cinema. The scene explaining the pseudoscience was cut, as it didn't add anything to the actual meat of the story: the human interaction in a confined environment under extreme conditions. Everything else was just window dressing; beautiful, fiery window dressing.
(I loved that movie, even if the science does fall down in a number of places. It was still sci-fi, just more about human nature than the sun, or space, or physics.)
I'm from a working single-parent family where I was raised by my mother, who lived with her mother (my nan) and younger brother (my uncle) from my birth until I was 5 years old. A non-conventional solution, but it worked out.
I was going to moderate you, but I wanted to give you (-1, Enraged) and (+1, Interesting).
I misread the "it's good to have children spend a year with mom, and then another year with dad, and back again to mom, and so on. It provides balance." thing too initially, then I realised he wasn't talking about a divorced family, but a working family.
The problem with that design is simply that most workplaces can't account for that kind of on-off structure, and most families like that nowadays need (or strongly desire) the simultaneous income. That has a whole host of other problems. Personally, I'm in favour of "if the second parent has to work, they should ideally find a job where they can work from home".
Regarding Nurture vs Nature, I'm entirely in agreement with you regarding their hybridisation, but disagree in the "always follow biological instinct" - the man-at-work, woman-at-home paradigm may be effective sometimes, but there are many, many, MANY examples of why it is not and a whole host of associated issues. Not to mention stepping back to it is a social impossibility given our current world. A singular solution is rarely ever suitable, especially not in this case.
Final Fantasy VII may not have the greatest overplot (Summary; evil life-draining alien comes to planet, man is infused with alien cells, man takes over role of evil alien, man is defeated by plucky young group of heroes) but on the individual level, the characters are well fleshed-out, have strengths and weaknesses of character, not just stock archetypes, and while the "role playing" is linear, it allows for a good deal of depth in the character development, unveiling each aspect one by one. I would say it is possible for a strong critical literary analysis of Final Fantasy VII, gameplay aside, which would be proof unto itself that the game is an art piece. Final Fantasy VI also falls under this merit; I would even argue for my least favourite, FFVIII, as being an attempt at art that's so damn convoluted and difficult to understand it falls down upon itself.
To compare it to the flying-missile-nonsense that is Macross is fairly insulting. Although the later series of that do TRY their hardest to have a plot, it just turns back into girls singing on spacecraft.
The heart IS a muscle... the trick would be building an artificial heart powered by the body's own nervous energy, or somehow replacing the vulnerable cartilage and passageways of the heart with artificial materials. Besides, a lot of heart issues are with the muscle itself, beginning with arrhythmia and the like. Building an artificial muscle that's powered by the existing bodily systems, now there's a trick and a half.
I have a feeling that the true server in question IS secure. Default passwords? Smells like honey to me. They're just looking to make an example of him, and by dragging this case out and keeping it in the headlines, it's having the very same "discouraging effect" they'd get from imprisoning him.
WAR IS PEACE. FREEDOM IS SLAVERY. IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH.
These are the principles which have guided the nations of the world since 1984. And long before that, too - they were just never codified so succinctly before.
R's fluff helps in manipulating data in statistical contexts, while actually providing support for non-vector/matrix data, unlike the abomination that is Matlab.
Seriously, just try manipulating non-matrix data in Matlab. You'd be sooner pulling your teeth out, or more likely, using R.
Imperatives would be simply prefixed with an activation mark, traditionally the word "Computer". I would probably use a different activation imperative, as I often WRITE the word "computer". I doubt a doctor would need to use it often though in patient journals.
I've been wearing glasses since I was three years old - I don't care about the risks. I don't care if I have to wear glasses for the rest of my life after those five years are up. Five years without glasses would be the best five years of my life.

Okay.

I need to actually use preview. "I remember it from the poster descriptions at my local cinema."

Like bringing a motorbike to a bicycle race?
Okay, I have mod points but you're all maxed out, so I'll just say this is the first genuine laugh-out-loud moment I've had on /. in weeks, so 'grats.
Grats to the GP as well, I won't be forgetting Morgan Fox or Megan Freeman any time soon.
Okay then, why can't these scientists devote their work to curing every symptom of the common cold or flu?
(The immune system still gets a workout, we just don't have to feel like shit while it does.)
England and America (or the UK and the USA) are two nations united by a common ocean and divided by a common language.
Look between your legs.
Oh, and just so people know my biases:

Yes, and you're also the only country in the world that would look at an egg and go "Y'know wha' tha' needs? Meat, an' batter."
Only the Scots would Scotch an egg. Bloody jocks.
