Power isn't interrupted, it's just reduced a little bit. Maybe that's what you meant. In either case, this allows more surfaces to be "collecting" than shading, from the looks of the few images I could see, which would still be a net gain, rather than a loss. It is probably why the efficiency is only 2.5 times as high rather than something like 5 times as high, though.
People have been saying this since PC gaming came about. It was nonsense then, and it's nonsense now. People don't care that they can get the game for their pc when that pc isn't attached to their 60 inch plasma tv. Furthermore, console games make playing with your friends, in the same room, at the same time, much easier. Consoles aren't going anywhere, and pc gaming isn't either.
This is all about grandstanding to promote a particular ideology at tax payer expense.
LOL! And providing "how to use a rubber" class doesn't "promote a particular ideology at tax payer expense"? Riiiight....
Yes it does. It promotes the ideology of an educated citizen. Something everyone should be promoting.
Teaching children responsibility about condoms and sex in general, promotes the idea that they are an active part of society. It gives them the skills to make decisions with the best information they can, rather than handcuffing them. Some will make major mistakes. Most will not. Most will become productive members of society and go on to raise children of their own.
As is often used as a mantra on this site and others like it... information is power.
Education is a tool and you can't fault the tool for how it was used.
Quote abulafia You hear similar things from some anti-abortion types who also tend to talk about "consequences".
Quote fortyonejb in response to abulafia Pregnancy is a natural consequence of sex... I do not believe it my place to control someones sexuality. I also believe that the existence of abortion should not be a free pass against the very possible result of sex should it occur.
I don't know if you did that deliberately or not, but you just proved abulafia's point. You are subjecting your idea of what is an "acceptable consequence" for having sex on everyone, whether they share your views or not, and whether you know their situation or not. Not everyone has the same means or circumstances of their pregnancies. I'll offer you my story, as anecdotal evidence...
As a man who found out about a pregnancy after a girl and I had broken up, with both of us single parents from previous marriages, the decision to keep or not keep that baby was very difficult for us. Sometimes you have situations beyond your control. You think things are working and then something happens when they are not. We were in a committed, monogamous relationship for a while before we started having sex and just found over time that we were less compatible in our lifestyles to the point that it would be difficult to raise our current children well if we remained together. We were using multiple forms of birth control when she got pregnant (antibiotics interfered with her pills and condoms break) and found out about it about a month after we split up.
How does one handle such a situation? I'm not a fan of abortion as birth control, but there are times when it IS the appropriate choice and what is best for society. Not just the two parents and the baby(ies), but society as a whole.
You admitted you are a religious type and I submit that it tints your view on this subject more than you've realized. "Consequences" is a negative word associated with sex in order to control behavior... nothing more.
So you'll be the life of the party. "The drunker the crowd" has nothing to do with the entertainment being drunk. And if you're not having sex, what the hell else are you gonna do with the condom?
Newborns don't have the enzymes (supposedly) to break down meat either, but we in the western world seem to do fine with that. I suspect this is more like you're thinking, a habitual thing that your body adapts to based on your other dietary intakes.
Just out of curiosity, what makes "qi" a dubious word, in your opinion? Just because it's an alternate spelling of chi, depending upon what you look at as the original, or is it something else? Or am I thinking of the wrong word?
Really? This is no different now than it was in any other war. The lines "How do you shoot women and children?... It's easy, you just don't lead them as much." didn't just come out of thin air or some novelist's mind. People have always treated war that way. It's a coping mechanism for doing the most horrible things a human can do.
What is nowadays the right way to read and write in modern English would have been the _awfully_ wrong way a mere couple of hundred years ago. (E.g., "knight" used to be read exactly like it's written, with a hard K, an I like in "dim", and the G and H actually pronounced. Look at the mangled way you're reading it nowadays. Tut tut.)
I'd like to know just how people come up with the assertion that the pronunciation of words (such as Knight) have drastically changed when there aren't recordings of such words to be heard. Do you have any sort of reference for that? It'd be interesting to see the other assertions made and the assumptions those are based upon.
Go for a walk around your building, or up and down the stairs. It doesn't take any concentration, but breaks up your day so you can think abstractly. Plus it provides a little exercise, which can't be bad.
"Social factors such as wealth, educational background and "what my friends do" play a significant role. However, on average, it seems that smokers have a lower IQ than non-smokers."
The article specifically states they drew their sample from all socio-economic backgrounds so they could specifically rule that out.
Not to be a Pope supporter here, but it would seem to me we're talking about Pope John Paul II if the person "went on to abuse more than 200 more children) if not Paul VI or John Paul I. It seems very unlikely that any priest, however active has molested 200 children since 2005 after already being "caught" at it.
That's not to say that Benedictine XVI wouldn't/won't follow the same course of action, but I just want to be clear who you think should be fucked with a splintery broomstick.
I will dare say your experience is limited, but I'll agree that it really isn't that bad unless someone has just had a cigarette or is a very heavy smoker.
At the rank of Lt. Colonel, he's likely to be the one commanded to fall on his sword, unless he's got some heavier clout than his rank would indicate. Lt. Colonel isn't that much of a heavy hitter, when it comes to situations like this.
Exactly... light tubes like this have been around for quite a while. We haven't done it yet but we've been planning one for our master bathroom remodel for the last 5 years.
Good old fashioned air raid sirens would be much cheaper and a hell of a lot more effective at getting the information to the people most likely to be in harm's way during a tsunami. The people who are most likely to be affected are the poor and uneducated, or tourists. The poor and uneducated are not likely to know what the "different colors in the sky" mean, no matter how hard you try to educate them. Tourists won't understand either unless they're from a place where such things are also a likelihood. People don't see colors in the sky as warnings (unless it's black when it's supposed to be daylight) because they'll just think it's some sort of plane or more likely a UFO. Furthermore, lasers are focused light, so it's not like it's going to illuminate the whole sky, just a specific spot. If people don't happen to be looking at the right angle to see the laser, or they're inside, or whatever, they're not going to see the laser.
Air raid sirens, on the other hand, have been used all over the world for decades and people already know what they mean. They can be understood without actively paying attention to searching for the sign, and while deaf people are not helped as much, they have a good track record of warning people of impending danger, of all types. They can also be complimented with some local lights for those who are deaf or for more specific suggestions of what to do in case of specific different types of emergencies.
Please don't. I'm probably in the minority, but as far as I'm concerned, this "feature" sucks. I get a lot of interesting information about various subjects from this site, but there is nothing gained with taking up the extra bandwidth for audio and video, especially if the person is a blowhard or just talking out of their ass. Don't get me wrong, we all fall into those categories at some point or another, but there's not much gained by adding this feature.
I'll bite. Good troll, I guess. First nobody is saying Google doesn't deserve some inquiries, or at least none of the comments I've read. What people are saying is that the association of the 9 year girl has no bearing on this and politicians are slimy douchebags who are using this as a witch hunt to help them win votes at Google's expense.

I wouldn't jump for joy just yet. Some of the kinkiest women I've been with were "nerds" into gaming, cosplay, computers, and other geeky things.
Some people do have jobs of their own while attending school. Those that do also pay taxes.

Very good point, and very good advice.
