My own personal rule of thumb, is to slow to within 15 MPH of what the sign says BEFORE getting to the curve, then adjust as I see fit as I actually enter the curve.
A cloverleaf off the interstate near my house worked like this - it was very sharp at the start and end, but gentle in the middle. We saw 18-wheelers spread in pieces down the embankment more than once where they went right off the top.
I haven't seen Nature's response discussed enough in the above discussion. Basically, Nature says that UC has been getting a huge discount for years because they pay the rate of one university even though they function as many universities. They also get some sort of other bulk discount. Nature wants them to pay like a collection of universities (like all the other state university systems), which will reduce their discount from 88% to 50%. This is the increase about which UC is complaining.
I strongly suspect most of the anger at UC is budget-concerned folk in the library system, not the rank-and-file researchers. They probably recognize a Nature boycott is likely bad for them and want this to not happen.
Here's a couple more links, to the ScienceInsider coverage (from Nature's primary competitor) and Nature itself:
You can't optimize for , - search engines ignore it as text (too common to search for; they toss articles and prepositions too),/or treat it as as a boolean comm, to ensure both terms are present.
While I don't support Cuccinelli, I'd like to point out that he hasn't changed the seal - he's altered the seal that appears as the AG office lapel pin. All the workers in the AG's office get lapel pins based on the seal (modified as desired by the sitting AG). Long-timers will have many pins with many versions of the seal. In short, he's only covered up the breast in a very limited circumstance. Still silly...
When Scrabulous was still popular on Facebook, the list of highest scoring games on the service all contained this. It was "games" set up between one person with two accounts; almost all "turns" were passes as he mined for the letters he wanted...
That's not the only error in the summary - it also says the 'Z' axis is extended, which is wrong. Z is number of protons. They meant the 'S' axis (for strangeness) has now been extended in the negative direction.
This was a fundamental problem with the trial acceleration program I took part in. Yes, I went to high school for math & science classes as a seventh-grader...
I had this problem too (although I think it was for scheduling reasons). I took Algebra II years earlier than I was supposed to at the high school next door to my middle school; the problem is they put me in the remedial Algebra II class, populated by seniors who'd failed it before and/or HAD to pass to graduate. I was probably the most (tongue-in-cheek) 'popular' kid in the class - the seniors knew I'd happily do the in-class group assignments for them if they'd shut up and get out of my way; I didn't mind doing it since it got done faster that way. The teacher would warn me ahead of time when I should bring a book and sit in the back.
I'd argue that becoming tasty has been hugely beneficially for them. Why else would there be over a billion of them on the planet?
This is even more true of chickens, which enormously outnumber people (perhaps by as much as an order of magnitude). I don't think they outmass us (thanks to us eating them...)
One of the Crystal Chronicles sequels launched on both DS and Wii, but not like GC original. You could play with one person on the Wii with one game disc, and others on DSes with their own game cards, but it wasn't downloading the Wii "master copy" onto the DS - just using Wifi for a multiplayer game.
Or maybe it has to do with the fact that they're at the dentist's office! They poke and prod at your teeth, and there's all these scary posters about how cavities will kill you! OK, maybe I have a mild dentist phobia (no cavities, though).
My parents traditionally took me to the Toys'R'Us near the dentist's office after every checkup, so I felt exactly that sense of unease at the store, wondering if the police would arrest me for not being in school. They'd obviously never arrest me AT the dentist's, since I was clearly there for a reason, but the toy store is another matter.,.
If you give your local library a thousand pounds a month, they're going to rename it the tehcyder library, because they don't normally get that kind of support!
What do you do when reading books for pleasure? I make sure to use scrap paper as bookmarks because I'll fold the paper up and tear it into little pieces. If it's a nice bookmark (or the library's date-stamp card) I have to remember not to destroy it. When I was younger I had a serious problem with snacking while reading to keep my hands busy - sedentary reading plus Fritos is not good for one's weight...
I am thrilled to hear that other people do this! I do it as a nervous habit - I can't keep my hands still so when reading at a computer it's a good way to keep them occupied. I forget to stop doing it when other people are reading over my shoulder for whatever reason - it drives them CRAZY! It's also a problem when cutting and pasting in emacs (since highlighting copies) - I get all sorts of bizarre things pasted by mistake when I switch between websites and code while code compiles.
I thought of first person as the perspective being within a block - your camera is inside the block, and you can see yourself (so you know shape) and as you rotate, you can see only walls/top/bottom. I guess this would require being able to independently rotate the camera and the block (otherwise a quarter of your drops would be blind). Wow, the game I envisioned from the title sounds awful...
