Actually no. Because both drivers had to use their respective route again if they drive again from Town 1 to Town 2. After some generations you would have two different tribes of drivers, one that drives along the grocery store and the kindergarden, the other one via the gas station and the library. And if the video store closes, some drivers of the first tribe cease to drive at all because it doesn't make sense to them anymore while the new hardware store causes other drivers of the first tribe to morph into a subtribe that drives to the hardware store instead.
Fishes have a blind spot too, thus the point is moot.
The blind spot appears because the light sensible cells are built in reversely. Their connection to the brain leaves the cells from the outside, e.g. from the skin side of the cells. Thus this eye needs a place where the nerval connections cross the light sensible area again to get to the brain. This place, where the nerves crosses the retina is the blind spot. This is a general flaw in all vertebrate eyes.
If you have the full control over the voting process, every voting is vulnerable. Important thus is the transparency, and transparency means that virtually everyone can watch the voting process.
No. Doesn't work. We have examples of voting fraud where the election officials swapped ballot-boxes after the vote to manipulate the outcome in different distincts. The only way to make sure this doesn't happen is to have all votes collected in front of the public and the ballot-boxes then opened in public and immediately counted.
E-Voting per se is wrong. There is only one method to make sure that every vote counts, and that is public counting of the vote. Every tabulation of votes in a machine makes a public counting impossible.
It gets a little deeper into European privacy law. It is actually forbidden to compile personal information into a searchable database without the explicit permission of the person the data is about. Exceptions to this rule have to be specified by law. So yes, the information is in the public, and you are allowed to spread them, but you are not allowed to collect them into a database. If Google presents the information in a list of search results, this counts as including the information into a database, and that's not ok.
Yeah, to the layman things are simple that makes the expert scratching his head.
The problem with hitting the Sun is that you are starting out with the speed of the Earth around the Sun, approximately 30 km/s. Only if you manage to decelerate an object to a speed of 0 it will hit the Sun. Anything else will start to orbit the Sun, and if started out from the Earth orbit, it will have an orbit that crossed the Earth orbit, not to mention that it will also cross the orbits of Mercury and Venus, and might get disturbed by their gravitation and catapulted out of its orbit to any arbitrary other orbit.
From grammar. In most languages of the world, the word for Sun is male. Exceptions are the germanic languages, where the Sun is female, and interestingly though slavic languages, where the Sun is actually a neutrum.
I would stay away from Vitamin B3 then. This is also "refined Nicotine" (Nicotinamid resp. Nicotinamid Acid). Substances are especially poisonous to us if they are closely related to substances that are an integral part of our metabolism.
And this discusses the merits of the Idaho House Bill 2690 exactly how?
Yes, there are some rules and laws that cover the behavior of cyclists. And you just mentioned a certain subset of them. But why does the way the Idaho Stop governs the cyclist's behavior lead to remarkably less accidents with cyclists and pedestrians?
Yes, it's a game. And no one is forced to buy it. And Nintendo is free to market it to a smaller portion of the potential buyership by restricting it artificially. I wouldn't have bought it because of those artificial restictions. And I am straight. And because there are not only LBGTs complaining, but the market just shrank by Nintendo acting inconsiderately, Nintendo made a turnaround and will patch the game in the next release. And now you complain that Nintendo tries to appeal to a buyership you don't like? You are allowed to try to stir up a shitstorm like the one that caught Nintendo right now. If you prevail and Nintendo again removes the patch again, you win. And what exactly will you have won?
Actually, the complaint arised when two people who owned already the game found out they couldn't have their Mii characters marry in the game. But let a fact not spoil your rant. Keep up the good work!
This is a valid statement for any theory, not just a theory expressed in a simulation. Just because the theory works for some chosen values, it doesn't mean the theory is correct. Basicly yours is a null-statement, it doesn't yield any relevant information.
Even without FTL, it's possible to arrive at another stellar system within your life time, if you are able to constantly accelerate (and decelerate after half the distance). Thanks to time dilation, for you, about 5 years pass, until you arrive at the next stellar system (the exact number depends on your actual acceleration). The main problem: If you go back. on Earth, millions of years have passed on Earth until you arrive.
Actually, it's spelled with a K. A cyrillic K. No matter if ukrainian or russian. Or it is spelled with a Q, if you like the crimean tatar writing of Qirim (the actual spelling has the i without dots, but Slashdot doesn't use UTF).
You didn't get the point, right? The genetic markup of each human is (with the exception of identical twins) totally singular. No other human has the same genetic markup. He shares some genetic traits with a certain group of humans, but not with all of them. If you look at other genetic traits, he shares it with another group of humans, which doesn't include all of the first group, but includes other humans. The concept of race requires that there is a quite large body of genetic traits that he shares with the same group and (mainly) only with that group. It requires also that the last common ancestor of all those humans has lived later later than the last common ancestor of the single human in that group with any other human outside that group.
But with humans, it isn't so, except some remote villages or tribes far away from other humans, which for one or several generations are related only to people within the same group. In any other group of people (of none-sibblings or directly related humans), you always find at least one who has ancestors no other person within that group has.
There isn't such a thing as "race". Humans are on a continuum of genetic traits. There are no clear boundaries that one could call "races". There are some genetic traits that are more prevalent in people from specified geographic regions, but a) not everyone in that region has the specified trait and b) other genetic traits have different geographic coverages.
PS: People with fair skin and red or blond hair have some genetic information from Neanderthal ancestors.
You don't need total confiscation. When you need to crack down on citizens, all you need is [A] that they don't own handguns (because those are primarily defensive weapons), and [B] that all other weapons are registered.
[A] is complete bullshit. Handguns were created as weapons for riders, because you can shot them single-handedly, while with a long gun, you have to stop your horse and then shot both-handedly. Handguns are primarily attack weapons.
Given that astrophysics is the oldest science anyway (dating back to the stone age when figuring out the time of the year from star constellations was necessary for planting and harvest and thus survival), your inability to spot any improvement for your daily life from astrophysics shows more of your ignorance than anything else.
If you switch on your GPS today, then that's condensed astrophysics you use. If you are getting news reports from the other side of the world, that's astrophysics at work. The weather report? Not possible without astrophysics. Everything related to space and time is astrophysics at work.
I believe that the ability of making a difference between the cases where the death penalty is approbriate and those, where there is doubt and those where the defendant is innocent is so limited, that we should abolish the death penalty in general. I might make an exception if the people (investigators, prosecutors, judges) who caused someone later found innocent to be executed, are guilty of murder if they acted willfully (fishy plea bargain deals. obstructing or omitting exculpatory evidence etc.pp.) and second degree murder, if they just botched up totally.
Besides that: I don't think the death penalty makes sense at all. It is no penalty, as it doesn't influence the future behaviour of the perpetrator. It is just codified revenge.

It doesn't work that way in most of the E.U.. If new evidence pops up that bolster your case, you are free to use it.

You got to the wrong site then. If the bakery next door doesn't sell you screws, it's you who screwed up by asking for screws in the bakery.

Dr. Mayim Bialik actually is a neuroscientist, and Kaley Cuoco is an actrice.
You are just calling me a non-nerd. That's enough reason for a feud. You have the choice of weapons.
I would rather say that it is intentional that Penny doesn't fit there. In a world of geeks and nerds, Penny is the strange misfit.
