So, if it wasn't a big impact, what was it? What's the next best theory?
Well, according to TFA: "One possibility is that a glancing blow from a passing body left Earth spinning so rapidly that it threw some of itself off into space like a shot put, forming the disk that coalesced into the moon. This would explain why the moon seems to be made entirely of Earth material. But there are problems with this model, too, such as the difficulty of explaining where all the extra angular momentum went after the moon formed, and the researchers aren't claiming to have refuted the giant impact hypothesis."
Doesn't it really show that the US was not interested in being involved in another war, as it was still dealing with the fallout of a major economic crisis? (Hint: "Great Depression")
That's true. I guess my point is that it's not just a funny choice of words. There are nearby foreign sources of misrepresented or possibly illegal fish. Plus, the connotation of involving an Illegal Alien person is probably not really an accident.
Sigh. Yes, I got upwardly moderated, perhaps demonstrating my point. I guess in this case, the implied meme was "Slashdotters are desperate" for something.
My point was that I think people aren't REALLY as thoughtless as a lot of the tinfoil hat responses seem to indicate; they're just milking the anti-airport-security-theater thing.
I think it really implies that the fraudulent fish would be imported from outside of Japan. It's not xenophobia, either; it's concern about food safety, and false advertising.
I immediately decline any position where I have to report to a woman. Being married is tough enough.
So, you have no experience that would tell you whether a woman would be a better manager for you.
Being a spouse is a VERY different kind of relationship than being a manager or employee. (If not, you are doing something very wrong, either at home or at work.)
But now, why are people so concerned about airport security anyway? The invention has no relation to it.
They're not really concerned with airport security. Slashdotters desperately crave upward moderation. Posting a clever remark related to a popular meme is the easiest way to satisfy that desire.
The laws were put into place to discourage fraud. If you want to get people to invest in your project, you need to go through a formal prospectus.
In most start-ups, the risk of business failure is thousands of times greater than the risk of fraud!
The most gloomy projections for new business survival are around 10%, and then it's a matter of semantics (in other words, business not making as much money as projected constitutes "failure"). Analysis of the 10-year survival rate of businesses shows about 30%.
On the other hand, I personally receive 1 or more NEW fraudulent investment "opportunities" every day. Whoopee!
The point is that the regulations are there to keep the legitimate investments from looking like the fraudulent ones. You can still lose everything (and more) in the stock market, but you can be more confident that you are dealing with real businesses than when you jump on unvetted "Internet opportunities".
In the cage match between the laws of physics and money, physics wins.... but money buys itself a huge victory party and claims physics is a fraud. And a large segment of the population who resent the snooty superiority of laws of physics eagerly believe physics has been defeated.
Therefore, you can expect to hear that this same kind of weather anomaly has happened numerous times before, and a lot of people will believe it.
The subtext, as I read it, is: "Open/Libre office suck compared to MS Office". My experience agrees with this (and I use non-MS office products for work), but for home use I push Google docs because it's a reliable lowest common denominator.
Love him or Hate him, Obama was not "rich folks" when he ran for office. He may have had substantial backing FROM rich folks, but he was most assuredly not rich.
Unfortunately, I may have just ruined this thread by citing an example whose name is likely to be, practically speaking, flamebait.
What's remarkable about the New York bill is that it would expand the state's database to include DNA from people convicted of almost any crime, even misdemeanors as minor as jumping over a subway turnstile.'
Interesting. Of course, it would make sense to simply collect a DNA sample in circumstances where previously they would have collected fingerprints. Going beyond that is expansion of their tracking.
Keep in mind, it's not "the government" that's asking for this. It's the people who elect the government. Maybe not all of them, but most of them.
No, Encyclopedia Britannica Inc. is going strong, because it's a diversified publisher that targets the lucrative education market with nearly all of its products.
There is little evidence that the digital Britannica encyclopedia is selling AT ALL, because Encyclopedia Britannica Inc. is a privately held company that doesn't have to tell you anything about where it's making money.
Americans have guns exactly because of the high crime rate. It's a barbaric solution, but sometimes it's needed.
What a load of crap. A lot of Americans simply enjoy guns (collecting, competitive target-shooting, etc.) Some folks like hunting. Some are genuinely afraid because all their neighbors have guns, too. And some are dangerous nutcases.
I suspect he also learned that Microsoft really does care as much about testing as any major software company. It didn't stop them from producing Vista, but that disaster was due to forces beyond the control of the testing folks.
It seems as if his experience at Google (not being able to influence Larry Page's new strategic focus) was not particularly better than at Microsoft, and Microsoft wanted an innovative leader in it's quality area. Good for them. Hopefully, his experience at Google will make him better able to ensure quality at Microsoft.
Bottom line: Testing is important, but it's not where corporate strategy comes from for most software companies. Typically, (and unfortunately) companies put more energy into product development than testing and security.
How's that different from your parents ultimate reasoning "BECAUSE I SAID SO!"
And how's it any more convincing?
Parents are more convincing. When your parents say "because I said so", you may have to do what they say for very practical reasons other than the fact that they said so. Your parents are likely to have an observable, measurable, repeatable influence on you, which (to those not in the throes of hormonally-fueled rebellion) may be very convincing.

The point is, Microsoft's Win8 strategy will be, at least in part, a direct competitor to Apple's iOS strategy.
The MS sales staff need to use, understand, and sell Microsoft first and foremost.
You're going for +6, Hilarious, right?

Looks to me as if the Slashdot Groupthink is currently a rant against Google posted from new iPads.
Fair? Ha! This is the US "Justice" System we're talking about, fair has nothing to do with it!
Except that Canada technically isn't one of the United States. It's more like Puerto Rico, or the District of Columbia.

Weird; I thought the motto was "don't be evil". I guess the motto is really whatever the people who don't like Google say it is. My mistake.

I wonder...If scientist ever figure out how to create life, will it be considered Intelligent Design?
It will be called "engineering".
The outrage is that this "war clock" seems designed to promote the idea of starting a new war.
