When people say WWII, at least in Europe and North America, they refer to the period 1939 to 1945. There was some fighting in parts of Asia going on starting from 1936. So according to your logic I could say that 1905 or 1910 was part of the WWI Period as those years were between the Second Boer War and WWI. The period for a war was the years that the war was fought in.
I think the government and the education system is already do a good job of teaching that to them. Probably about the only thing the education system is excelling at at the moment.
Yes but the peer review system is flawed. Take someone that is pretty high up in their field and they have their research, people to manage, and they are probably at a university so some classes too. Add in all of their day to day home life stuff that needs to be done. And now they are asked to review a paper from someone else for free. Even if they want to do a great job on it they are on a tight deadline from the publisher. So how thorough of a job do you think that they can do? Can they try to replicate the experiment? Look for an error in an Excel spreadsheet?
It's like what a lot of software shops I've seen do with their testing. The development team races to finish it and gets the application done the day before release and hands it off to QA. Then everyone wonders why the program is full of errors in production.
If you want a better peer review system you are going to have to give the reviewers more time and pay them for it.
Well, fossil fuels have the hidden subsidy that society pays for all of the environmental damage and health care costs that they do. So if you want to take the subsidies off of the wind and solar prices to do a comparison then add the costs for health care and environmental damage to coal and gas plants.
And let's add the cost of having backups for coal and gas plants added to the total cost of the coal or gas plant. Their load factor is only around 70%. When it's being maintained what's supplying the power? What happens if it goes offline due to a malfunction?
Let's make it a fair comparison. If you are going to put the cost of backups for one source then make sure the other source has the cost of backups too. While intermittent the network operators can use forecasts to predict the amount that will be generated and plan for it. Then they will fine tune in real time which they have to do anyhow because the demand is constantly fluctuating.
Expose everyone to a wide variety of activities from a whole range of fields when they are going through school and encourage them to follow the ones that they find the most interest in. If a girl wants to be a coder, great. If she wants to be an electrician, great. If she wants to be a nurse, great. Same thing for a boy. If they find something that they really like doing then they are going to be much happier in life than if they are just doing a job to pay the bills.
So what happens to users that don't fit the profile expected when the manufacturer builds the battery into the device. For example say a laptop manufacture configures the batteries expecting the user to mainly browse the web and work on documents. A typical business user. But what if it gets used by a graphics designer who spends most of the time in a graphics manipulation program. It's going to be less efficient for that user. Are we now going to have to specify the type of battery we need when we buy a computer, smartphone, or tablet and hope that it's main functionality doesn't change during it's lifetime?
I forgot to mention that if you go to the VoteTogether website you can see if you are in a riding that is closely fought. They are also doing polls of specific ridings and trying to get pledges for people to vote for the person most likely to beat the Conservative candidate in that riding.
To any fellow Canadians out there. If you are in a close riding and want to vote to try and prevent the Conservative candidate from winning but the best person to do so isn't with your preferred party then voting for the best person will no longer hurt your preferred party. In 2011 the Harper government brought into law the removal of the per vote funding of the political parties to be phased out over four years. So in previous elections if you didn't vote for your preferred party they lost out on funding. This is no longer the case. Strategic voting is now an option.
And remember, ignore what the polls are saying. It's important to get out and vote. If the polls are saying that the Conservative candidate is losing in your riding too many people may think that they will lose and not bother to vote. Polls are made up of a random sampling of the people in the district, not the people that are bothered enough to go and actually vote. The Conservatives are very good at getting their supporters to the polling stations.
The Globe and Mail in Canada has been singing the praises of the deal and how it's going to open doors, benefits of free trade, and it's the beginning of the end of supply management for the agriculture industry. But it's all generic stuff and they can't give specifics because nobody can see the specifics.
They aren't even trying to hide their bias. There was an article about what economists think about the agreement. They had three economists interviewed and all three couldn't contain their enthusiasm for TPP. Not one bad thing to say about it.
Don't forget that companies can sue the US when they pass laws that stop the company from making enough money. It's not a one way street. Much of the agreement is pushing what America, or at least the American companies, wants out onto the other countries. Things such as copyright reform and the pharmaceuticals deal.
You still need another air to air that can be exported from the US to it's allies because the US is keeping the F-22 to itself. That's one of the reasons why the F-35 is being developed.
There's also the version that the Marines and the British want with VSTOL capability.
TPP will gut the Canadian dairy industry and flood the market with cheap American milk that has (more?) antibiotics and hormones. While the current system in Canada isn't perfect it's better than opening our market up. While we are currently paying more than the world price a couple of years ago we were insulated from the high prices when the demand was a lot higher.
Hell according to that logic Hollywood is responsible for all of those movie theater shootings because if they didn't make movies that people wanted to watch then they wouldn't be at the theater to be shot. Those bastard movie makers must be stopped.
Well #3 and #4 are out because the hospital was bombed for an hour and a half. MSF repeatedly told everyone in the area where they were located. And even when they told the US that they were bombing MSF it took a half hour to stop. There is no excuse for this.

I wonder how many of those are new Surface computers ready to be shipped.
Actually it was play on a joke I heard on the Infinite Monkey Cage podcast made by a chemist.

Since when was 1935 in the WWII period?
Once the Harvard alum get taught how to do the job by some prisoners.
Not really considering that this type of article comes out at least once a year.
I don't trust physics. How could you trust a science that solves a problem by just throwing "dark" in front of the name?

No, we'll probably get sued since the "u" will cut into profit by using extra ink.

Harper already extended copyright in his last budget.

You are easily entertained.
I know how they make sausages and think they are just as good as before. Now, haggis on the other hand.
