You, and everyone else, has African ancestors, the same way that everyone has non-human primate ancestors (and probably fish ancestors, for that matter). If you go back far enough along your own line they'll be there.
No, they went to earnings calls and straight to market just on the strength of some nerd's multiplication skills, no one actually thought of getting into a car and timing it. Maybe you should call and let them know to try it.
Could it have been an initial impact in another part of the moon where the impactor fragmented and this piece "bounced" around before landing here? It does look strange, because anything that large which would land and make a depression that deep, it seems like there would be at least some ejecta rays or a crater rim or something. It looks like a big finger smushed the land down and then put a rock in it.
Or maybe it's a mountain feature where for whatever reason the ground around the base has eroded away. Maybe the mountain was warmer and caused nitrogen snow or something to sublime away.
I'd really like an explanation for it. The worst thing about missions like this is that we go zipping by taking awesome pictures of amazing things, and we can't easily go back and get better pictures of things we want to investigate.
I think you'll find most people making arguments against the thing have not heard it.
I've never even heard OF it. I'm not arguing anything, I'm just noticing your rhetorical devices, you make it pretty easy to dismiss anyone who disagrees with you (they must not know what they're doing; you obviously do). That's called No True Scotsman. If someone disagrees with you, then instead of debating their points and possibly conceding your own you just say they don't know what they're doing, they're not a "real audio guy", because a "real audio guy" wouldn't have that opinion. This attitude is all over the "high end audio" world. Just ask the guy who decided that the Pear Anjou cables are "danceable". I think of those kinds of reviews and people whenever I see or hear someone say something like "no one who knows what they're doing would say this doesn't sound good."
Everybody I know who has one or has heard one, who actually know what they're doing audio-wise, think it sounds great.
No true Scotsman, huh? What's that, you heard the Pono and don't think it sounds great? Hmm, you must not know what you're doing audio-wise.
Whatever, if Neil Young doesn't want me to listen to his music on a streaming site because it's the worst quality ever, fine, I'll just request and then record his songs on local FM radio the way he intended them to be heard.
Everybody in rich countries would pay more for food, while people in poorer countries would literally starve to death because of those labels.... Informed consumers would not care about the label, while uninformed consumers (the vast majority, yourself included) would be actively killing people across the globe with their ignorance and fear.
I'm not sure that I quite understand, can you introduce an even more ridiculous level of hyperbole? How about some FUD? Maybe it would help if you compared me with a Nazi (c'mon, mandatory labeling? It shouldn't be that much of a stretch for you).
other opponents of labeling genetically modified foods
Now who the hell considers themselves an opponent of labeling GMO foods unless they have a financial stake in it? Is there anyone walking down the street who has nothing to do with the food industry and considers themselves an opponent of labeling GMO foods?
This... legislation will ensure that Americans have accurate, consistent information about their food
So a law that requires that GMO foods are labeled as GMO foods would be a barrier to accurate, consistent information? Someone wrote that quote without even bothering to check what the issue was, didn't they?
The sun actually looks remarkably like a star from the surface of the Earth, too. And Venus looks oddly like a planet for some reason...
The sun isn't going to just look like any other star from the surface of Pluto. The sun is many, many, many times closer to Pluto than any other star. Since the amount of light that is cast on an object is exponential with regard to distance, that means that the sun is shining a ridiculous amount of light onto Pluto compared with any other star. I would even bet that the sun illuminates the surface of Pluto significantly more than every other star combined.
Or are those really not pictures in the conventional sense and radar images?
They are visible light pictures, taken with optical cameras using a variety of color filters to try and get a true representation. There might not be a ton of light reflecting off Pluto back to the camera (relative to Earth, anyway), but Pluto is by far the brightest thing around the spaceship. The cameras can probably soak up that light for minutes without getting over-exposed.
A major impact of some kind is the only thing I can think of.
Which would explain the giant, young impact crater that no one has noticed yet.
Pluto is too small for the heat to be internally generated
What are you basing that statement on, "currently accepted theories" that we had before flying a ship past Pluto and noticing relatively young features?
Elizabeth Warren would have a great chance if she ran. Personally, I'd like to see both Trump and Sanders lose their respective primaries and then enter the general election as independents. I'd like to see the hand-wringing that occurs when people across the country question why only the Democrat and Republican are in the TV debates even though there are other popular candidates.
She doesn't want to spend $400 on buying a new version of Premier and HR has more important things to anyway than to redo it
Are you kidding me? Your company is crippled with old software because you guys want to avoid a $400 expense? Holy hell.
Remember the goal of business is to raise the share price.
Yeah, and nothing causes share prices to skyrocket like saying we don't want to spend $400 to get rid of old, outdated, depricated, insecure, buggy, vulnerable, easily-exploitable software.
Wait you don't use flash or old java at work? Wow, no cisco or vsphere at all.
We dumped Cisco years ago, good riddance. We're only 2 servers away from cutting ties with Microsoft as well, and we only build training using Flash if the customer specifically requires it, otherwise it's done in HTML 5. And, no, we do not use Java for anything. I've instructed people to make sure Java is off their machine.
You know what else we don't use? IE8, IE6, or Flash 11. We don't even test on IE8 any more, we have language in our contracts which say that if customers find bugs in their training which are only present in IE8, and they want those bugs fixed, they need to pay to have them fixed. We no longer provide free support for IE8, and no one cares. Our customers know they need to upgrade, instead of paying to fix bugs that only affect them they find it a better use of their time and money to update their software and other materials. Most companies find that to be a necessary and useful expense, in fact.
I notice that you didn't address the "impossible" nature of replacing your software. It's obviously possible, modernizing your company is clearly possible and one day will be necessary, you just have no desire to actually do it. Don't make it sound like you have no choice, you guys are just lazy. This is what happens when you have a CFO determining IT policy instead of a CTO, but I'm guessing you don't want to pay a CTO either. Those shareholders each need their additional penny that a competent CTO would cost the company, right?
Slashdot Mirror
Seriously. BS that Chrome doesn't easily let you mute the tab, there's a little X right there. Click on that and, poof, no more audio.
Am I mistaken in believing that a large portion of the gaming population suffers from ADD/ADHD
I wouldn't say I "suffer" from it, Bob.
I have it on good authority that half of all people are stupider than average.
You, and everyone else, has African ancestors, the same way that everyone has non-human primate ancestors (and probably fish ancestors, for that matter). If you go back far enough along your own line they'll be there.
That's what I exactly don't say:
"The little boat glided across the pond exactly the way a bowling ball wouldn't."
If anyone is confused, Hydra is .81 Rhode Islands and Nix is .55 Rhode Islands.
You're suggesting that within any zip code, there's only a single building with a particular street number?
I usually buy the store brand, simply 'cause it's cheaper and works as well as any more expensive stuff.
That's true, it says it right there in the ad.
No, they went to earnings calls and straight to market just on the strength of some nerd's multiplication skills, no one actually thought of getting into a car and timing it. Maybe you should call and let them know to try it.
You are missing basic rules of grammar when you say things like "answer me this".

Not really, more like this.
Alternatively, they may be a product of convection, similar to wax rising in a lava lamp.
Holy shit, that stuff inside a lava lamp is wax? I never knew that! Thanks, NASA!

I have no financial stake it in an I oppose labeling of GMO foods.
OK, so why do you have a problem if the food I buy needs a GMO label if it is GMO food?

There actually was an AMA on this yesterday or the day before.
Hmm, the article says "posted 1 day ago", is that yesterday or the day before?
Elizabeth Warren would have a great chance if she ran. Personally, I'd like to see both Trump and Sanders lose their respective primaries and then enter the general election as independents.

The exploration of Pluto is key in understanding the phenomenon of the solar system.

That's not true. When Flash dies porn sites will either adapt or die also.
