If there's a god, the evidence points to evolution. I there's no God the evidence points to evolution. The same applies to relativity and ionic bonding.
You should neither teach that there is a god or that there isn't as part of science.
This is strange. The UK Pound is U+00A3 and the Italian Lira is U+20A4. While the latter has two lines across, two lines is acceptable for the pound and a single line was acceptable for the Lira.
(Not that anyone stil uses the Italian Lira but other countries use the symbol and people may still write about it)
As a devout Last Thursdayist, I think it obvious that the Earth, as well as the uiverse, my memories and a load of photons already in-flight, were created last Thursday.
Looking at the ads on facebook, they seem to be doing a remarkably bad job of targeting.
Because I'm in Germany, they're all in German. The fact that I post in English and most of my friends live in England doesn't seem to be a factor in targeting. The first ad is something to do with football of BASF (are they sponsoring the world cup or something?) I also get an online casino and an ad for Law and Order DVDs.
If they were actually something that might tempt me I'd be a lot happier. Unlike most people, I don;t feel tricked if I'm sold something I want. I want it! Even if I wasn't aware of this fact beforehand. As it is, I just get a bunch of ads for things I'm not interested in which helps neither of us.
There was a hovercraft service running between France and England for a few decades. Rathertoo noisy to be particularly popular but they did manage the journey in considerably less than half the time of the ferry.
Be useful in places where there aren't really roads. Bet the things work great in deserts. In my experience though, steering is a problem. You can't really steer a hovercraft easily. The rudder does hardly anything.
I don't think that's necessarily a problem. A computer that had the level of intelligence of a 13-year old boy with poor language skills would still be quite an achievement.
I think the parameters need to be changed so we don't include chatbots though. Just like we shouldn't really consider a computer that has a database of every recorded chess game ever and uses that to makes its moves to be playing chess.
The Turing Test was just an initial stab at measuring intelligence from a person who may have been smart, but was talking the problem before any actual research had been made into AI.
It has a big problem that it's extremely easy to game. But if we were to tackle it with a little more intellectual honesty, with a machine that actually does things analogous to deduction, and learning, it would be a good initial test.
Well, "States" is descriptive as well, so maybe they should have gone for am. There have been several other unions of states - Brazil was The United States of Brazil for a few years before 1945, and Mexico is the United Mexican States.
The inconsistency is what's odd. "United States" is allowed, but "United Kingdom" isn't. Either give the USA "AM" (and let Armenia work out what to call themselves later), or let the uk have "UK".
The official ISO 3166-1 2 letter code for the UK is GB though - Short for "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland".
"United" and "kingdom" aren't usually considered part of a country's name according to the ISO. Although it does seem a little odd that no exception was made in this case, since the United Staes of America is US.

Although we do use slightly different standards for audio from anywhere else in the UK. I think it's mostly a frequency thing.
So that's why it's called the Red Planet!
Most of Earth is underwater. Mars has only slightly smaller land area than Earth.
Do you need it?

News that interests the Slashdot editors.
It's really been that way from the start.
Some speculative startups failed because they went up against a monolithic company and had to fall back to their highly paid software industry jobs.
Well, I can see how that must have been kind of irksome for them but it really is a first world problem.

I have no rational response to that, so if you don't mind, I'd like to burn you as a heretic. Hold still please while I build a fire.

Teach the controversy!
You can makea lot of money from a drop in value. Short selling is possile with Bitcoin as well as any other fungible commodity.
Yes! I mean you'd have to be a wimp to not be able to handle suddenly weighting over 6 tonnes.
Surely this is what makes it interesting.
I make it 832m/s^2 which is only 85g.
Well, I wouldn't say it's completely unimpressive. Although most of the impressiveness is keeping it from taking off or ramming into the ground.

I think he's saying the opposite of that.

No, I don't. I'm sure there's plenty of possible confusion due to misprints.

He stole $150k to make $10k profit.
Okay, but how about that specific 2 year old, playing on the keyboard?
