Given the nature of the stock market, you've got to wonder whether calm "rational" decision making is any better than stressed "emotional" decision making. Doesn't a monkey with a dart board outperform most stock analysts?
Perhaps, but there's a whole helluva lot more to trading the stockmarket than mere stock picking. Along with the dartboard, that monkey needs a well defined trading plan and the discipline to follow it.
By the time you have made your emotionally-influenced decision on what stock to buy (or sell short), you should already have rules in place that govern, without the influence of emotions, your position size and your entry and exit conditions. Plan your trade, then trade to your plan. If you can't do that, get out of the market - and stay out!
Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't LHC should be able to proof existence "God particle"? Perhaps that guy only wanted to make sure the particle belong to "right" god.
Do you realise (or even realize) that some words are spelled differently in British English than in American English? Analog and Analogue are much closer than mere homonyms, they are synonyms as well.
Oh, you'll get one or two kids in every class who understand what you're talking about, but the majority will have no clue.
At the start of the course, maybe. But the teacher's job is to help the kids learn. If most students still have no clue at the end of the course, the teacher has failed.
Same as in the UK. Cornish Pasties, Yorkshire Pudding etc. Just give it another name and you're sorted.
Not quite. You do have to give it a name that's not so ridiculous that people will actually use the name you're trying to avoid. Some mob here in Australia has been trying for about 10 years to market cornish pasties under the name "Tiddly Oggie". To this day, I've never heard anyone else call them anything other than a pastie.
Are you listening to me, Ferguson Plarre? It's not a tiddly-anything, it's a fucking pastie! The battle is over - you lost!
EU take note as well. You can legislate what's printed on the label, but you can't legislate what we think. The label might say "sparkling Pinot Noir Chardonnay from the Barossa Valley", but you can't fool me - I know it's really "Champagne".
And you know what? Those guys make equally disparaging jokes about non-medical types.
They have diagnoses like FITH and PFO ("Fucked In The Head" and "Pissed and Fell Over", respectively). "Hey, didja hear the one about the guy who thought his humerus was his funny-bone? Laugh? I nearly defecated!"
It's not that big a stretch. I had the 'flu this year and I don't think I had ever been so sick for so long in my life. (It's fair to say I have been sicker, but only very briefly) Then I realised that every illness that I had previously called 'flu was merely a common cold.
OTOH, are you sure that your "dozen times since then" have been 'flu and not a common cold? I always knew there was a difference between the common cold and the 'flu, but it took me 45 years to really understand that difference.
As a product, the ShamWow itself is probably quite good. I just can't bring myself to get past the marketing to try it. But here's the key point - Wasn't it an American that made the marketing for that product?
Seems to me that if the cops subpoena my (paper) records, the bank is obliged to give them my file. I don't think they are any obligation to not let the cops go into that filing cabinet to find my file - and then any others that happen to be there. Now, if the cops had appropriate evidence, they might be permitted to specifically look for other files held by the bank. In that case, the "in plain sight" clause might come into play.
But surely that's the key difference between a subpoena and a search warrant, anyway. A subpoena is a very specific and limited "request", whereas a search warrant can include items outside the scope of the document if they are "in plain sight". Of course, I could be wrong, because everything I know about U.S. law, I learned from watching "Boston Legal".
Let me clarify - it's not a Flash-heavy site, because it's not a site. It's a course. It's an online course entirely written in Flash, not a Flash-heavy web site.
Is it a collection of related content accessible via a URL prefixed by http:/ or https:/ ? In that case, I'd call it a "site" and so, I'd imagine, would most people with more than a passing exposure to the web. The fact that the content on that particular site comprises a training course is irrelevant.
http://iase.disa.mil/eta/iaav7-3/iaa/index.html is a site hosting nothing but that large Flash application and a little boilerplate html, yet you seem to have a problem with it being described as a "Flash-heavy" site. Why?

That's a fairly expensive coke habit...
Not really. Not unless you mean Coca-Cola.

I doubt that God is that particular.
Of course.
1. Use LHC to make black hole.
2. Hide LHC in black hole.
3. Put black hole in carry on bag.
Simple.

5. Put black hole in carry on bag.

And my post doesn't look like me. Your point?

Although not yet available, the solution has been devised. (Yes, yes, I'm sorry, but someone had to do it!)
Don't forget that this idea was proposed to and accepted by some marketing team within MS. To those guys I say a heartfelt What.Were.You.Thinking?!!
You appear to be labouring under the misconception that you are typical of the "over sixties" demographic.
LA asthma range earwax?
A max angler wears a hat?
A hatman wears lax gear?
There's a perfectly decent generic term for hard cheese.

Now, that's only half true!
Way to miss the joke entirely, dude!
With the simplistic meter and the rhyming, the post almost read like an excerpt from a treatise on theology - as written by Dr. Suess!
That's almost what I was thinking. Most legends have some basis in reality. Perhaps this is the origin of the Roc legend(s).
Headshot? What kind of weird-arse mice do you have there that a hit to the centre of mass equates to a headshot?

If you're concerned that technology can determine whether you're wearing pants by seeing your face, you've got bigger problems than your privacy.

Now, normally I'd agree with you, but I imagine that the Dutch have a vastly increased interest in cricket since the day they beat the poms at their own game.
If I already own a Palm handheld and an Apple desktop or laptop, whose customer am I? (Hint: it's not "somebody else")
