There's no crossing when any side of the intersection has a green light for cars.
Well, there can be, since we don't criminalise the act of crossing the road without explicit permission from a roadside signal. It's anarchy, I tell you!
I imagine that this article is simply worded to make the course seem more controversial than it is
Ah, if only:
We will delve into a quantum physics’ understanding of disease and alternative medicine to provide a scientific hypothesis of how these modalities may work. Quantum physics is a branch of physics that understands the interrelationship between matter and energy. This science offers clear explanations as to why homeopathic remedies with seemingly no chemical trace of the original substance are able to resolve chronic diseases, why acupuncture can offer patients enough pain relief to undergo surgery without anesthesia, why meditation alone can, in some instances, reduce the size of cancerous tumors.
In any case, the course will now not be taught this year (or hopefully ever):

Yes, because your opinion is not the objective truth. Want to complain about JJA? Well, go ahead, if you want. But you're not right or wrong.
and I just don't need to put up with that sort of bullshit.
What makes you think we want to put up with your bullshit?
Everyone has different opinions. Grow up and accept that instead of viewing everyone whose opinion differs from yours as an inferior. You might just find you get along better in life for it.
I read recently that the Allies made a policy of not telling about the decryption until long after the war, apparently so everyone would think we won by valor rather than by cheating. But what's (perversely) funny is that the UK rounded up as many machines as they could and "donated" them to third- world countries so that they, too, could enjoy the benefits of strong encryption.
Or maybe they donated Enigma machines to other countries and kept the cracking of them a secret so they could spy on said countries.
When was the last time you were on a plane that had so much leg room such that you could let someone by without getting up from your seat and going into the aisle yourself?
#1) This will make it that much more inconvenient for passengers closest to the window to get out when they need to use the bathroom.
I don't see how. As things currently are you need the aisle/middle passengers to get up out of their seats to let a window passenger out, and that won't change.
It's not misleading, because it doesn't actually tell you anything about why this arrangement leads to more seat space.
At a guess, I think it might allow you to increase the number of seats per row, because you won't be sharing leg space with the person next to you. So they can cram everyone's hips closer together while still allowing knees not to knock.
But who knows. It's hard to tell. The image makes it look so unlike any normal airline seat it's hard to get a handle on it.
I did have it installed on my phone (the standalone version, not a Firefox plugin) but it's a bit of a resource (RAM) hog if your phone isn't brand new.
If it had 1/50th the resolution, maybe. 1/5th isn't much of a difference. Downsample the B&W image to 1/5 and you'll still see some detail, and not just a one-colour blob.
Since the center of gravity between the two isn't within Pluto (or Charon), it isn't a moon. So NASA, of all people, got that wrong too.
NASA, of all people, don't actually use the center of gravity thing as a criterion for planet-ness or moon-ness. Neither does the IAU (according to them, Charon is officially a moon of Pluto). It's a popular proposal, but that's all it is, and it has its faults.
Slashdot Mirror
Yes, there was a second.
Was there? I remember seeing a big-budget 3D fan-edit of Wrath of Khan...
I take issue with the way you present your opinion because you seem to think it's the indisputable truth.
You must be one of the aforementioned JJA fanbois
Nope.
Does anyone else get the feeling that the author has decided we're all obsessed with cures just so they could write their article bemoaning the fact?

What's E.T. short for?
Because he's only got little legs.

The PROBLEM with disabling Java, is that a significant majority of sites use it heavily
Uh, really? Can you name one website that uses Java heavily?

Historically accurate image.

The franchise has included prominent and strong female characters, like Princess Leia
And...? You make it sound like that's just the start of a long list, so let's hear the rest of it.
Don't blame me. I voted for Kodos.
Not only that, but only one b0xen.

A quick search on Wikipedia shows that it's actually in Newcastle upon Tyne
Northumbria University is in Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Newcastle-upon-Tyne, in turn, is within what was once Northumbria.
Flip-up seats.

Uhh, these do.
Having said that, the colour was gathered at an earlier time, so may be even lower resolution.

Microsoft Windows' IrfanView
Microsoft (or even "Microsoft Windows") doesn't own IrfanView.

Jesus... you could've spared the rest of us, though!
