I've heard a few variations of this but I haven't bothered to look up the actual numbers. One similar one is that men have a tendency to be spread across the intelligence bell curve more than women, so that there are more genius level males than females, but also more dumb males than females. And this may be true (like I said, I never ran the numbers); but it could easily be the result of society rather than anything biological.
Looking at the actual hand prints, it doesn't look like they traced it like we would with a pencil. More likely, they blew a powder over their hand, which created the outline. This would explain why the result looks similar to a spraypaint stencil. It's still prone to being misleading, but I would think it would preserve the ratio between finger lengths fairly well, which is what they used to determine male vs female.
How many plays have been forgotten to time compared to how many have actually influenced public opinion? Odds are this movie will be good to rake in a few million bucks over the next couple years and be forgotten within a decade outside of certain niche political history classes.
Our good friends at Mirriam-Webster define terrorism as "the use of violent acts to frighten the people in an area as a way of trying to achieve a political goal".
I get the political goal part, but I'm really not seeing any sort of violent acts or fearmongering.
He's closer to being just another dickwad politician than he is a terrorist.
Actually, we already know that there's some incredibly sloppy coding (such as dozens of.js files being loaded when hitting Apply) and we do know they were warned about significantly underestimating the traffic more than three months before it rolled out.
I was wondering why they didn't do this. A bazillion examples show that everyone wants to see The New Thing as soon as its available, creating a massive initial load that will never recur. They should have done it by state, time zone or some other limiting factor to keep the load down. It still could have been out to everybody by the end of the month and would have likely seen a much smaller load at any given time.
I'm guessing a big portion of the $90 mil is equipment, infrastructure, salaries, long-term contract commitments and fresh unicorn blood, not just the development cost.
It teaches one very valuable lesson. And that is that almost every job description includes something along the lines of "and other duties as assigned."
Most people use the phone in their hand more than place on a flat surface. I don't think they're marketing this as a suitable-for-every-single-goddamn-person phone so much as a suitable-for-people-that-this-would-work-for phone.
I get mailers and ads on local TV/radio stations for any number of services, restaurants, retailers, etc that aren't even in my city... or any neighboring city for over 100 miles. It's not just Verizon.
If it's anything like my last employer's Syracuse and Albany offices, FiOS availability is very patchwork... a little here, a little there, always available the next block over but not where you need it.
It usually means under normal, expected use. For a phone, I would include dropping it from heights up to five or six feet, sitting on it, etc. I would not expect it to hold up to a sledgehammer or being run over by a car. It might hold up to that kind of intentional/abnormal abuse, but I wouldn't have the expectation that it would.
So AMOLED is better for porn featuring black actors and worse for porn featuring most other races. It's about time we can choose displays based on sexual preference.
You're more Illinois Nazi than Grammar Nazi. A proper Grammar Nazi would not have used a comma to separate independent clauses without a conjunction. Perosnally, I would have preferred a semi-colon. All the cool Nazis are using them these days.

Who has ever heard of a Liquid Crystal? Imagine if you could use them to make a Display.
Most of us work during the day, so we only need to really cool our homes in the evening (unless we have pets).

TL;DR version: Men wrote the history books, but they didn't do all of the history.

I thought it was alcohol that removed the need to distinguish between genders.

"You mean like making it so convoluted and confusing that no one understands how it works. "
Are you talking about the programming or the legislation? The same could be said for both of them.

Mostly just iPhone users. But of course, that's because they've been holding it wrong.

What I find interesting is that the AC gave a plausible number of "greats" to match Louis XVI's generation.
If Japan gets involved, they'll use Samurai Jackbots.
Sounds a lot like being a CEO or financial investor. If you're good at it, you can steal millions every day.
"You have tried to access a website that is under criminal investigation by the UK:"
Wait, they're investigating their own website? Or are they just so lonely they're not prepared for people intentionally going to their site?

I never claimed to be a Grammar Nazi. I'm more of a Grammar Nazi Groupie. It's a thing.
