The third party would be the people complaining, which incidentally is not GitHub, or Randy Hunt, aka 'letsgetrandy'. It is the people saying "someone" might be offended because somehow anatomy jokes (of the male or female only variety) are considered somehow misogynistic. Think about that, somehow penis jokes and vagina jokes are somehow both anti female.
It became popular because the search page and results were so lightweight and full of content instead of a bunch of crap you didn't care about.
Which is another way of saying the same thing I just did. It wasn't full of crap because it weighted results by how popular (how many times it was linked to) a page was. This allowed them to show only the most useful results, and move all the worthless crap to the later pages of the search result.
How could someone miss that Google does this? It is patently obvious, and it is a feature, not a bug. I would be highly confused if I searched for something on Google, and they offered a Bing Maps link to the address and a Yahoo Images listing of images that match my search.
Google is so popular because they optimized search to give you waht you were looking for. Every one of their competitors when they started gave a list of results that matched your query, Google offered a ranked list of results to a query. From the beginning all they have ever done was make their results a better ranked listing to give you a better answer to what you are searching for.
If instead what Google did was rank Google+ higher than Facebook in a search for Facebook, that would be odd as it isn't giving you what you asked for.
Look at that, no Google+ on the whole first page (if at all). I don't know that the people writing these reports actually remember what the internet was like before Google, but they sure do act like they don't understand how Google's algorithms work and what made Google better than anyone else.
I assume you remember the days of Alta Vista as I get the impression you are around 40. If I am wrong, you should be glad to not have to remember having to go through pages of results before finding what you were searching for.
The whole point is that there is nothing you could call unbiased. Google was formed from the horrible search engines BECAUSE they ranked the results to make them more useful. You must be too young to remember what Alta Vista was like, literally pages of useless results before you found the nugget of what you were looking for. Google's search became popular simply because the results they offered were biased to give a better answer for the question you were asking rather then generically returning ever page that matched your search.
It is kind of funny you would say that as EVERY country does this or wishes they could. The whole point of a spy agency is to disregard the sovereignty of another country, or how else would spying happen? Would you rather this was done the way it used to be done where actual people were sent to other countries to listen to phone lines or put a cup against a door?
I cannot conceive of the amount of energy a mass driver would take. The moon is orbiting at 3,683 km/h, so you would have to slow a projectile by that much to hit the earth, and it would have to be very precisely aimed to hit a spot on the surface of the earth as it would take days to hit the Earth. The moon is a terrible place to put a kinetic weapon, but LEO isn't any better as you need to slow the projectile by 28,080 km/h to be able to hit the Earth, and be able to aim yet again.
This isn't just a matter of aiming something at the Earth and shooting it like a bullet, you have to reduce its orbital velocity or it will just float back up to the moon's orbit, or crash back to the moon if you don't shed orbital velocity.
I am not a medical professional, so forgive me if I am way off base.
If APP is possibly the cause of Alzheimers, wouldn't it be easier to find out on willing subjects? If it cures the disease, but causes other problems, then we could study those problems and see what happens.
I always considered the Borg more advanced in this than the humans. They tried to use technology to augment the natural abilities of the person. Unfortunately, they also used technology to subvert the person's own desires to make them slaves.
If I were Captain Picard after being rescued, would I ask for the doctor to remove all the augments? I doubt it, some of them were probably quite useful if they could be made to work without the Borg control included.
I think you are missing the point he was trying to make. Some of the best NBA players aren't tall. Being tall helps with dunking, but has other negative implications in basketball. If you are very tall, it is easier for someone to steal the ball from you. Just take a look at the players from space jam (I know...not very good sample, but an example)
I checked where I live (Glen Burnie) which is about 10 minutes outside of the center of Baltimore, and they didn't deliver there. I am unsure where in Balt they do deliver to.
If I could find a Starbucks in their delivery area, just have it delivered there and pick up a coffee while I am out.:)
I would imagine that if the scientists wanted to experiment to find what genes possibly cause Alzheimers, most people with that disease would gladly step up to be in the experimental group.
So perhaps we were trying to vote out the warmongering Democrats and elected Bush? It looks like Clinton wanted the war pretty badly while he was in office.
He voted yes to this bill, before becoming president. This is what allowed the "warrantless" wiretapping (there are warrants involved, but that is never good enough for your type). You don't remember all the talk in Slashdot around the time that this bill had telecom immunity in it for the wiretapping given to the government? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_Intelligence_Surveillance_Act_of_1978_Amendments_Act_of_2008#Netroots_opposition_to_the_bill)
Yes, Obama voted for this bill as a senator. He then went on to change the language on his website to remove his opposition to the telecom immunity provision in the law.
On May 26, 2011, President Barack Obama signed the PATRIOT Sunsets Extension Act of 2011, a four-year extension of three key provisions in the USA PATRIOT Act:[2] roving wiretaps, searches of business records (the "library records provision"), and conducting surveillance of "lone wolves"—individuals suspected of terrorist-related activities not linked to terrorist groups.[3]
What excuse do you give for the democrat controlled senate passing it in again 2011 and the pres signing the update?

Why would he have written to Shatner? Was it Shatner's idea, or Rodenberrys?
Unfortunately, you are actually incorrect. There are perpetual motion machines with patents even if you don't allow people to patent them through you.

I recall laser beams being deflected by the deflector shields in the movies, but it was a long time ago (in a galaxy far far away?).
That makes it sound like the airplane might have issues with flying through this medium as well...

That would be because not a one of them was a student when they made their discoveries. Interesting how that works huh?

I don't see any abuse. Where is Google+ ranked above Facebook?

Monosodium glutamate? We're talking about MGS here, not MSG.
Or Payday 2; stealth bank robberies. When you succeed in a steal bank heist, there is no better feeling as so much work goes into a successful heist.

FYI, I live 10 minutes out of the center of Baltimore, and this doesn't cover my zip code. I think the zip codes are a very small area.

I want to see you when your kids ask you why you voted Democrat than. As they overwhelmingly supported the war.
