But if you eliminate whole departments, you lose interdisciplinary links. You eliminate any quality in classes that other majors need. If UF offered computational neurobiology for example, it probably won't for very long now. Can't really see how the students are going to learn the upper-level computing skills they'd need. They'll try to compensate by having some biology professor who kinda knows computers try to teach the class, but the result will be less well-rounded students.
In other words, you disagree with the majority of your voters?
I think in any democracy, from time to time, we all agree with Churchill when elections don't go the way we think they should: "It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried."
I vote that we start working on a chemical weapon which can be deployed over key electorate areas on election day which will temporarily prevent people from voting based on paranoia and irrational fears.
Speaking as someone who is about the same age as Zuckerberg, I'm a little insulted. Just because I was 14 doesn't mean my brain was ENTIRELY filled with sexual thoughts. "People were throwing money at anything dot com until it was ridiculously overvalued, and then they lost that money" made sense. It's not complicated.
Anyway, who knows what the thinking here was. I've heard speculation that instagram had a good chance of unseating facebook. Sounds ridiculous, but I said the same thing about facebook in reguards to myspace when I was closer to 20, so what do I know?
Or, going the other way with this, I don't like the fact that I only get paid one salary for my job. If producers can claim resales as well as the first sale, they're getting paid multiple times for the same product. I should be able to do the same thing and get paid multiple times my current salary for doing the same job.
Considering that Kalifornia is constantly on the verge of fiscal default, thanks in large part to mostly unfunded social welfare
By most accounts, the problem is California's tax base. In the 70's or 80's, they made it impossible to reassess property taxes. Promises to police and fire unions are driving many small towns to bankruptcy. I've heard nothing to suggest that social welfare is the single cause or even a major cause of the budget problems.
I don't follow. Californians pay more in federal taxes than they receive in federal spending. They contribute more to the nation's finances than they consume = they're pulling more than their weight.
Or is there an exception that I haven't heard about where if a state is facing a deficit, they don't need to pay federal taxes? Because if so, then those thousands of dollars I gave to the IRS, I'd like them back.
Sorry to sound bitter, but it's personal: California is not fucking dead weight, Tennessee and other red states that take in more federal funding than they contribute are dead weight. Worse actually: they're a drain on the economy. California keeps it's budget problems in-state.
And for the record, fatty acid is NOT a synonym for phospholipid. Fatty acids by themselves are nonpolar and hydrophobic. Introduce them to water and they'll clump up together. In order to create micelles, liposomes, or a plasma membrane/cell membrane spontaneously in water, they need to be amphipathic. They need to have a polar, hydrophillic region. The fatty acid chains are attached to polar head groups. The polar head groups stick to the water side, and the fatty acid chains clump up together, excluded by the water. The result of that is the sheets and bubbles you mentioned.
I'm not sure. In my experience, microsoft seems to be doing a decent job of policing xbox live.
Yes, you read that right. MICROSOFT is doing a decent job. Reports that xbox live is a cesspit of cursing 13 year olds are greatly exaggerated. The secret seems to be having actual people be the judges: it's not a simple system where x number of complaints = marked as bad and banned.
If MS can get it semi-right, you have to expect that Valve can do a passable job too.
This does seem to be the actual mentality of tight-knit online communities, and not just trolling. Hazing, and some misguided notion that you have to prove yourself beyond paying money for the game to enjoy it.
However, the cyber-frat-boys should be capable of understanding that most potential customers deal with enough assholes in real life and aren't going to be interested in paying money to deal with more in their leisure time. Thus, everyone besides that little band of bros has an interest in getting rid of that crowd. And I suspect Valve is actually capable of dealing with you lot since you're endangering their product.
You could get over yourselves and stop being pointlessly rude to people, or you could continue in your misguided attempt to toughen up the n00bs, and find yourself continually marginalized.
Current theory holds that it took about 3 billion years to go from nucleic acids to complex multicellular organisms. So I'm not going to worry about it until at least after they gain a plasma membrane.
This is not the first time it's come back. Last time was in 2009. Got absolutely horrible reviews. That was clearly shovelware with the name slapped on it. This take sounds like someone is actually putting effort into it though.

Why do people by default assume everyone is a lawyer or legal expert? I was making a normative statement, not a factual statement about laws. Everyone runs around pointing out IANAL, we should really just assume by default that people are not offering legal advice or interpretation unless they say they are.
Penn and Teller seem like some of the most self-righteous, annoying celebs out there. And now they're using copyright law on something that doesn't seem like it should be copyrighted. (slow clap)

But THEY are probably expecting that...

... uh, dude, the lipid bilayer is also called the plasma membrane. They're synonyms.

Does German copyright law depend on the holder's popularity?
The US is the only country to have used nukes in war... did you think we would be impartial about who else gets them?

And, if memory serves me correct, you could get clips of ping-pong, air rifles, and absolutely nothing you really wanted to watch.
From the cheap and lazy guy's perspective, the program that I already have installed on my computer is the superior tool.
Last time the olympics came around, I tried to watch them online. No deal.
I assume pirate bay will help me if I want to watch them this time around.
Not on my phone (OLED display), where it matters more.

He probably meant to log in as "Dr. Bob,DC"
So then the only logical thing to do would be to have some FOSS organization pay him an equal amount to balance it out...
If any of my fellow Americans are confused about British newspapers, I found this documentary particularly helpful. Skip to the 1 minute mark.
She was talking about shielding kids from smut. Kids these days won't pick up a newspaper, so the Sun's nudity is effectively censored.
