what implications this has for sexual preference & gender self-identification ? I expect that there is full spectrum of "wiring diagrams" not just male=front/back & female=left/right just as there is a full spectrum of gender identification. Could there be a direct correlation, even causation?
Somebody please prove that sexual preference and gender identity is hard-wired by cerebral development and let's shut up the religious asshats once and for all.
When you try to stretch words in this way they lose all meaning.
Using an accepted definition is not "stretching words."
I have to go with "Your Master" on this one... stretching words to mean what you want, to the point that they become accepted results in them losing all meaning.
Here is an example: ! Using "literally" to mean figuratively, to the point that Websters now lists "literally" as a term that means "virtually"!
"http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/literally" - If that isn't a sufficiently obvious case (for you) of an accepted definition of a word that stretches it to the point of losing it's meaning then perhaps vocabulary lessons in English are in order?
Harm is not hurt. Financial loss is not pain. A business is not a person. A sit-in is not violence.
Perhaps because the public are the ones who stop taking their antibiotics before they are finished the full course of treatment, because they feel better; despite their doctors telling them to take them all, despite the pharmacist telling them to take them all !
This is the the biggest contributor to the development of antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria. Period!
I think this is not possible....
From what i can glean from various sources is that it's a hardware limitation...
VZW doesn't yet use any of the bands supported by the N5..
although there is a rumor that they will be expanding into spectrum usable by the N5 early in 2014.
whether that means it will be supported then is a good question, but at least it's a possibility
No i really don't want a brick in my pocket... i'll be better off when tiny batteries last weeks or ambient EM field chargers are built into phones or charge times are reduced to seconds or minutes instead of hours. Until then I'll manage with near field charging solutions. thanks,
assuming you only plug it in to charge once a day...
If, like me, you use your phone throughout the day, letting it sip juice while stopped at my desk for 10 or 15 minutes several times a day,
the time savings adds up; not to mention the wear and tear on the port that isn't happening and when i leave the office it's usually got a decent charge left.
In addition since going to cordless charging I've never once forgotten to unplug the cord and accidentally yanked it out of the port or the wall
in the military most firing squads are made up of people who are qualified rifle marksmen, one would suppose.
Presumably soldier #6 was insurance and very rarely needed to shoot.
I think you meant "miss hitting anything vital"... because if they "missed" then he wouldn't be "horribly wounded" .
pardon me for being pedantic... it's a curse:(
I don't have to "guess". And it is reversible... but some large percentage of the workforce is always going to be going to the next gig with a bad taste in their mouth from their latest stint as a corporate condom.
...to be treated as such:.
It's worse than that. After once being treated as an expendable asset, the smart ones internalize the lesson that it's "just a job no matter where you go" and the lack of investment carries over to subsequent employers. Ultimately the entire workforce becomes tainted by the shitty HR policies in use today.
It simply illustrates that some people are starting to understand what many of us already know... our democracy is broken and we can't trust it to fulfill it's basic functions anymore. The next step is to jump on the anti-government bandwagon and acknowledge that our government is abusive and we're one small step short of an oppressive police state.
People are more easily swayed by opinions in subjective areas, culture, politics, business than in objective ones, news, IT, science. How obvious can a study be?
and... "Although in one of its early forms Godwin's law referred specifically to Usenet newsgroup discussions,[4] the law is now often applied to any threaded online discussion, such as forums, chat rooms and blog comment threads, and has been invoked for the inappropriate use of Nazi analogies in articles or speeches.[5] The law is sometimes invoked, as a rule, to mark the end of a discussion when a Nazi analogy is made, with the writer who made the analogy being considered to have lost the argument. - Wikipedia"
Note the text in bold... i think this is a very appropriate analogy... in fact so appropriate that it's not an analogy at all but rather a case of history repeating itself.
I think his question was broader than... why does no one remember that on internet forums but rather why does no one in the media, Congress, the street.... remember that? and have the balls to say that's what is going on ?
The way i see it...humanity's greatest contribution to the greenhouse effect and global warming is not burning fossil fuels... it's population growth... turn 80% of the worlds population into fertilizer and we won't have any significant effect on climate change.
while that would be true in the case of irrational over-prediction, If it can be justified in some way... then all insurance companies will be using the same justifications for the same rate increases and all the competitors rates will also rise to a common level... which means more profit for everyone if the fundamental justification that everyone is using is flawed in their favor. And don't even make the argument that if it's too expensive then people just won't buy insurance... property owners will always cover their asses... er I meant assets...
Actually actuaries have a vested interest in not under-predicting claims, not in "getting it right"! As long as the actual claims fall short of what's predicted the insurance company will do fine. In fact the more negative predictions that can be"justified" in some way but don't happen the better off the insurance company is.

hasn't everyone ?

except that it still has a microUSB port so ... not being able to charge it anywhere else is not an issue. ?

I wish we could go above 5 ...or had a "Beyond Funny" mod option
average IQ in Canada just hit one !
and i don't feel any need to defend it.

It's Boston ... they charge extra!!

And yes, Texas is very much like this ....
