I wrote "gimmel" with two m's only to express the short "i" vowel in English. In Hebrew, it is indeed spelled with only one such consonant: gimel-mem-lamed
All of this is just a roundabout way of saying that any word with say, a k-t-v root will have to do with, in this case, writing, whether it's katav or kotev or what have you.
Are you sure? Then what's the connection between the word for the letter with the 'g' sound (gimmel) and a camel (gamel)? They're spelled the same without vowels.
There's also the problem of store security. If the cashier fails to deactivate any anti-shoplifting devices and I trigger them as I walk out of the store, how am I supposed to prove that I paid for it?
That's why I always get a paper receipt when I pay-at-the-pump for gasoline.
In case they forget to remove the anti-shoplifting device from your gas and you trigger it as you drive away?
Oh, and incidentally, as a 3rd year student, I have never been harassed, excluded or otherwise treated in a negative manner based on my gender. I have never felt that I was intruding into any kind of boys-only club, and I have never found myself wishing that I had more female friends to talk to. Oh, and my grades are pretty decent too (with the notable exception of math, but I've always been weak in that area).
Realistically speaking, Windows is free of charge as I'm sure everyone here realizes. I can get a free copy of Windows any time I want, and I still choose not to. So by introducing advertisements to it, is Microsoft making it more attractive to me? Is it finally worth nothing?
In chess, you'll sacrifice your queen, both rooks, and every other damn piece available if it gets you a checkmate. There's no pyrrhic victory here, only win, lose, or draw. Bad analogy.
No, perhaps statistically half of the people you meet are below the median. I live in a self-selecting world wherein significantly more than half of the people I meet are above the median.
Whatever this allele does, it had a selective advantage of more than 5 percent. They don't know it necessarily makes people smarter, but it's hard to think what else it might be.
Wow, their "inflation" methodology sucks. They're using change in ticket prices to measure inflation. So if movies in general become more popular and demand goes up, prices go up, movie companies make more money, but that gets discounted by this method. What they're really doing basically is just counting the number of people who paid to see these films, not revenue.
They should try a little something I like to call the "CPI". It at least attempts to measure the general buying power of a dollar in different time periods.
This is funny, but it's not too far off the mark. I had a tough time keeping up with my daughter's mental development when she was very young. She could identify letters and knew the phonics of each well before she had the manual strength and dexterity to reproduce them on paper. She was frustrated trying to write the things she could read. It was the same problem she had at 5 months when she could sit up just enough to see something she wanted but could not walk over and get it.
By opening up a text editor on my laptop and allowing her to type, she was able to start "writing" more than a year before she could have otherwise. Look at the keyboard, find the letter you want, press it, and it draws itself. It's like magic!
1. Bet against someone who says 'x' will never happen. 2. Wait for 'x' to happen. 3a. One or both participants die before 'x' happens. Exit use case. 3b. 'x' happens. Profit! Use case complete.
So you're saying that many of the people stupid enough to get caught, thus contributing to this survey's statistics, had been caught before doing other things? Can you say "self-selecting group"?

Yes, but Math is Hard!

You actually spoke with the rabbis who wrote the Torah? Did they speak back?
If that were true, I imagine Nashua, NH would be about the most populous city in the nation.
Better? I don't think so.

Hey, just submit this comment as the review. It's not really much better or worse than any other /. book review.
I don't know. I kind of enjoyed the "Got Milk?" ads.
That's because you don't have it.
Based on that picture, I'd have to say that the Neanderthals died out because the Cro-Magnon women were way better looking.
I think the IRS holds prior art on that one.
It's just a wild guess, but maybe you can have one if you also have security clearance, $47 million, and room for a refrigerator in your car.

Oh dear God I want to tell a "yo mama" joke here...

No, it actually translates "que pasa" into "We hereby condemn these actions taken by the Israeli government."
7) Flash sucks! Stick to open standards, damnit!
Gee, thanks for the vote of confidence. Good to know I'm pitied.
