The article says the predictions are as accurate as a both coin flips and dice rolls. Well one of those is 1 in 2 and one of them is 1 in 6 or or much worse. Also, are economic predictions literally just a "one thing or the other" possibility? Not instead one of a great many things that could happen? Perhaps narrowing it down as close as they did actually much better than a simple "coin flip".
I have been listening to the same 20 songs for 5 years.
Congratulations, you appear to be perfectly qualified to work as program director for any contemporary commercial music-playing radio station. Now if you can just get that down to 15 or even 10 songs, your future with Clear Channel seems assured.
Name me a Clear Channel station that plays Pink Floyd quality music on a consistent basis. And not just the 2 or 3 songs they play on my local CC classic rock station.
All they are interested in is the same pump and dump crap pop stations.
That all depends on what hood it happens to roll up into. On earth there are places like South Central LA where cars roll in and mysteriously disappear.
So that is what happened to Spirit. Someone stole all the wheels.
given the lift capability of the USAirforce we don't need to go nuclear to "show them a Dragon" we have enough HE and Fuel Air stuff to do the job quite nicely.
And this is less likely to set off a confrontation with other nuclear powers.
Not sure why news articles say things like this, but Alaska and Hawaii are much closer to North Korea than San Francisco. Do you think a nuke hitting Anchorage would be taken less seriously than one hitting in San Fran?
Probably because Hawaii is too small for them to hit, and the chances of them actually hitting a populated area in Alaska are rather remote.
That being said, a launch carrying a nuclear payload from NK aimed at anything outside of NK itself would probably result in the United States turning Pyongyang into the world's largest glow-in-the-dark parking lot.
From my iPhone when I click on the issued a response link, all I get is a page saying a dedicated app is coming soon. I view that as another failure on Mega's side.
Mega uses JavaScript local file access APIs to read and encrypt user-selected files before uploading them. Historically, Safari for iOS has been severely lacking in JavaScript local file access APIs. So if Apple doesn't give web application developers the proper tools to read and encrypt user-selected files, how should that be regarded as a "failure on Mega's side" rather than Apple's?
That caniuse site is really useful. My horse for a mod point! (you can't have my kingdom, I already traded it for the horse)
The more likely solution would be "set them on fire". I mean, if the planes were worth keeping operational they'd be worth shipping back, and burying them is a lot more work, and might result in their captture by whoever you're trying to hide them from. But destroying them is easy and ensures they're no good to anyone.
Not these planes. They would just spit it back out.
What does "No" mean to the question "Which performs better in the real world?"?
In this case, "No" means that the question itself is wrong/invalid. Or perhaps in a generalization of Betteridge's Law of Headlines "Any headline that asks a question is wrong."
Back in my university days I met a lot of medical students that did hold esoteric beliefs that defied sense and reason. Without any scientific backing. I'm not talking religion but physically unsound things. One had ampules of water duct taped to her dorm walls to counter the earths magnetic field which caused her sleeplessness. There was of course also the Jesus squad. And homeopathy. And other assorted nonesense
Funnily I never met such nut jobs in the physics and maths and CS faculties. Just a couple of delicious yet socially awkward nerdlings. Including the girls.
IMHO it is high time to not honor the religious feelings of other people. They need to grow a pair. Ovaries/testies, whichever they prefer.
My cousin used to teach first year biology before he got research grants, but he said he has no faith in MDs after seeing the idiodicy of first year premed students.

What kind of world do we want to live in?
The one we have, obviously... I mean, if we didn't, we would change it.
Oh, someone is changing it. And it isn't for the better.
I keep misreading Nikon as Nixon.
Only Nikon can go to China.

What is funnier that file:/// doesn't work.
The Captil F is required. at least in my limited testing.
Typing 'file:///' opened Finder.app from Safari's address bar just fine on my machine.
In this case when GP says "doesn't work" he really means "does work", or rather, "doesn't crash".

China is the world leader in counterfeit products. They encourage people to buy things there and sell them abroad.
What, are the rest of the cities dumb?

If we could pair this with some sort of clue bat strike via IP that would be best.
I hear a guy is working on a IP-based face-stabbing machine.
I don't know about that. I, for one, don't want my eyeballs seeing any of you guys expose your private "keys"
Especially Goldmember's private key.

If it's any less blatant than this it gets modded to +5 insightful.
Posts moderated as +5 Troll are usually some of the best reading here. Very rare but very entertaining.
Usually the only ones that make it this far are posts ironically discussing moderation in an attempt to achieve the stated moderation.
Like this one.

Go and learn.
Actually, just go.
Just what we need, Rogue Drones.
Hamburger get's it's name from the town of Hamburg.
Ok, then a Hamburger is a person from Hanburg. Or is food made from Hamburgers.
The article image for this is amazingly appropriate.

You can still have accident insurance. We can't test for that yet.
What genes have we identified for the accident prone?
Crap I forgot....it only repels liquid. Not concrete. Rats.
I'd be happy if it repels rats.

Eclipse is much more user-friendly and stable than NetBeans in every iteration I have used it.
Most problems people have with Eclipse are due to crap plugins. If you pile a bunch of plugins into it, it will run like a dog.
