People who make blanket assumptions about poor wanting to work are almost as bad (but not quite) as people who make blanket assumptions about them being lazy.
I spent years working with the poor; I spent more time in the projects than many of the residents. I took the time to get to know them as human beings.
I can say the same, except that the living conditions, in rural New England, of my nonprofit's clients (and of many of my classmates growing up) were worse than anything in an urban "housing project".
The impoverished of the world include both leeches and hard working people. To make any claim about any group of people as a whole shows a ferocious lack of understanding. History has shown time and again that providing charity is going to invite abuse, even as you strive to help people; just as history has shown that excessive wealth provides a mechanism for enormous abuse as equally as it provides a mechanism for enormous charity. The only way to deal with this is to recognize that charity is, of necessity, something that takes place on a human scale; and not between bureaucracies and faceless masses; and that charity will never break the cycle of poverty. A checklist and a fat bank account are never going to be a proper substitute for education and human relationship.
Hardly. There are lots of other productivity suites that are good in the baseline features, but those are almost certainly going to be MORE suitable for home than business users.
Information Entropy - I don't think you understand how it works. But I'll give you a hint - high information density means a lack of redundancy, and a lack of redundancy means fewer random changes are needed to destroy your information.
I was trying to give the particle-physics short answer (carrier particles), rather than the gauge-theory long answer (symmetry groups), but thanks for the extra detail:)
The Higgs Mechanism is thought to give particles mass, and the Higgs boson is the particle that we anticipate to be the carrier particle for the Higgs field.
Your question is a little bit like asking "if all other things get their light from photons, where do the photons get their light from?", which is to say, it reveals a bit of a misunderstanding about what's actually going on. That's okay though, because hardly anyone bothers to explain these things.
10.x is doing a little better for RAM, but in the meantime it's been crapping all over my processor. One upgrade made high-def YouTube drop frames like crazy if I have more than a dozen tabs open.
Parent doesn't know wth they're talking about. In this case, the honey is the preservative. Back in the day, honey-glazed hams weren't just honey-glazed because it tasted good, they were honey glazed because it was a way to preserve the ham. As one of the other responders to this post mentioned, high concentrations of sugar make for a really hostile environment for bacteria.
I don't do anything to try and fool Google, but the last time I looked at the data they provided in my advertising preferences, they thought I was 35 years older than I am, based on my political and research interests. My algorithms professor who pointed me to the appropriate page also mentioned that Google can't even figure out her gender, so evidently their servers are just as susceptible to stereotypes to about who goes into computer science as us humans are.
But if I really wanted to mess with them, my girlfriend and I could easily do so if we weren't so compulsive about logging in/out when browsing on each other's computers - the way we did to Netflix (recommends The Sarah Connor Chronicles, "Kourtney and Khloe take Miami", and the PBS Redwall series).
I've never heard a Christian try to justify climate denial in terms of a Christian worldview, but there are two (seemingly contradictory) themes I have heard to justify that we don't need to alter our relationship with the Earth. The first is the claim that we have a right to abuse the planet's resources because we have been given authority to rule over it. This is sometimes augmented by the "it's all going to burn anyway" mentality common among the sort who take the Left Behind novels as serious theology. The second is the "well most of what scientists say is a load of hooey anyway, so I wouldn't worry about it too much" mentality imbued by the openly hostile relationship between science (exasperated by the arrogance of people like Dawkins) and certain elements within the Christian subculture.
On the other hand, you also have within the church people like Wendell Berry and the author of both this article and the books reviewed here (disclaimer: the author I'm talking about is a member of my family). I whole-heartedly agree with what you're saying by the way, I just want to make sure you understand where the denialist/don't-care-ist strain is coming from.
1. Notice that I didn't actually insert Jesus into Genesis, I simply said that his style servant-leadership is the correct model of authority for Christians to emulate. Obviously in the Jewish context it was God that gave the commandment and who is the ultimate model for the proper use of authority, but since in a Christian worldview Jesus is God's son, and his "Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe,... is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being", it's a fair substitution.
2. There is that. Although my impression is that the majority Israeli Jews are pretty secularized.
I know I'm feeding the troll, but.......if you actually know any fundamentalist YEC Jews who think they can wreak havoc on the Earth, because they are given authority to rule over it, you can instead point them to the Sabbath-year restrictions on land use as a starting point for making the argument that God cares about the way they treat land. But I've never even heard of any Jews who would need that lecture, and for Christians the strongest arguments always involve Jesus.
The best translation is actually "to rule over". Taken out of context, that phrase is used to justify their behavior, but they forget that the proper model for the exercise of authority (at least within a Christian worldview) is the type of servant-leadership Jesus exhibited.
I lol'd because I became a Ron Paul supporter about the same time as I became an Opera user. Of course now I just use Firefox tricked out to look like Opera because I'm hooked on ABP, so maybe I've lost a little bit of that independent streak. Then again...I'm still a Ron Paul supporter.

OS X has the App Store, which is moving heavily in that direction...

This article has an informative diagram.

I think Microsoft was screen-scraping its own users, and not running it's queries of its own, or something like that.
I don't know why this poster has been modded into oblivion, but I guess it's a good thing he posted AC afterall.
If I had mod points, you would be modded up right now. Also the first post.

Nano implies these are 10^-9 scale, so the question is, which quadrotors were they looking at, exactly, that these are nano?
Existing case law in a federal court in my home state says otherwise. Off to the SCOTUS we go?

"Amazon patents inferring religion from gift wrap" would be more correct.

It already is. Under OCILLA/DMCA 512, UMG's lawyers have probably just perjured themselves. The trick is making it stick.
I didn't say omissions. I said errata. The correct spelling.
For starters "T'ealc"
