Apparently because fuck you, we can speed in school zones because we're all professional rally drivers with specially modified cars to enhance our extraordinary skill.
If you want to speed out on the Interstate, go right ahead man, that's your call. Nobody lives there. Going 60 in a school zone because you're running late isn't okay. Kids are unpredictable (and don't learn how to deal with cars until they're between 9 and 11 years old), odds are you're texting and not paying attention, and cars take time to slow down. If someone runs in front of your car, you will hit them because you can't stop in time. That's just simple physics.
The Mindstorms handle lots of the mundane details in robotics, like motor loading, sensor debounce, etc. You can add on your own sensors pretty easily too. I used v2 extensively to prototype stuff. For $300 you just can't beat the kit. Sure it's got limitations, but you know that going in. For a first-run, it's orders of magnitude cheaper than a 3D printer or machining parts.
FWIW, I'm a Professional Electrical Engineer.

That's my view too. My greatest attribute is my intelligence and it forms, if not the entirety, the greater part of my persona. I solve puzzles for work. I play strategy games in my spare time to keep my brain going. As it was said in Sherlock Holmes, "I am a brain. The rest is mere appendage."
If I'm to the point where wiping my own ass is an accomplishment, come on man, I'm not in there anymore. Grieve, let the meatsack go, and celebrate the physical end of Beardo.
As for the parts, once I'm in that state or worse, I am done with them. I've said this before, but I'll say it again. Give my lungs to a old man so his grandkids can take their breath away. Give my heart to a teenager so it can get broken by her first crush. Take my kidneys out to a pub and have a beer on me. Watch one more sunrise with my corneas. Donate what's not useable to science. Burn what's left, use it to fertilize an apple tree, and bake me an apple pie.
It was just a joke. The registry was created in the wake of the L'ecole Polytechnique massacre. It didn't do much of anything and I think the Americans have it correct -- if you're going to commit to a life of crime, you're not going to bother with the paperwork for a rifle or handgun.
There has been, as far as I know, one case where the registry was used to solve a crime, but it was where an employee of a sporting goods store was stealing rifles. Not really worth the time and expense.
It looks to me to be the output from the PLC compiler. Clear, count, and compare are basic ladder logic commands.
If you figure out which PLCs the Iranians are using that'll give you the compiler; each brand has its own and you're really unlikely to see it if you haven't used it. How many people here have used DirectSoft? Have you seen Schneider's programming interface?
That would explain why the researchers haven't seen it. You rarely use PLCs outside of industry.
Hang on, I understand the difference between an agnostic and an atheist. (Maybe there's a God vs. There is no chance of there ever having been any Gods.) I agree with you, total atheism does require an incredible amount of faith, maybe more than belief in a God, because you believe in a pretty stark interpretation of the afterlife.
I suppose that technically, I would consider myself an agnostic. We do not know how the universe was formed, or what happened before the Big Bang. It is possible that it was the bored Sunday afternoon creation of an incredibly powerful being. However, I doubt it very much and I won't let my life be ruled by the off chance that some powerful creature is watching every little detail of my life.
In other words, I behave as I do not because I'm afraid of something watching me and judging me but because it's the right thing to do. If people are behaving nicely, and working towards a better world, the motivation is irrelevant.
Everyone should have code words like this. I have some and my family knows what they are. If I'm in Serious Trouble, I can drop one of the phrases into casual conversation and they'll know to get help.
"Develop a program worth millions of dollars, and give it to us for free. If we choose, me might reimburse you up to $1000 for travel to watch a TV at MIT. That's if we decide to even have the contest, which we could cancel any time. We'd get to keep your code though."
Woah, dude, you have to put down the... whatever it is. Angry juice? (Whiskey?)
Sure, some religious people use their religion as an excuse to be assholes to each other. That's because some people are assholes, and some are sanctimonious assholes. The vast majority of religious people use their religion as a justification to make the world a better place. I believe, like most religious people, in love, forgivness, and in making the world a better place than we found it. The difference is that I'm a Humanist; I beleive in life before death.
When you respond with vitriol simply because someone believes something different than you do, you're bascially a fundamentalist / zealot. You just have a different denomination. A lot of religious ideals are good ones and shouldn't be rejected because of where they came from.
90% of it is crap, but that's just Sturgeon's Law. Ideals like "don't kill each other" are great. A lot of the other ideas are hilariously antiquated. We don't reject vaccines just because they came from a time when women weren't allowed to vote.
I have small children that have been in daycare and public school for seven years. I've been exposed to every cold, flu, and communicable disease going around.
I bike to work. Road spray.
I dive in the ocean. Our sewage treatment is screening + dilution.
I work out at the Y.
I get exposed to so many germs and bugs that I get sick less often than the veterans here who got the military-grade boosters.
My estimation is that I'll be bitten on day four but it won't take.
Yeah, where's that "I am a biologist, ask me questions" person?
From what I understand out of the article, de-methylation is good because the genes that are methylated don't get run -- basically the methyl is a "comment" marker for your DNA. So this discovery may show how exercise improves your health, by allowing all API functions built into your body to run as requested.
I took like one biology class in 1995 and I failed it. Salt accordingly.
Actually, DVD recorders are useless because the cable companies encrypt their signals and force you to buy or rent their borken box that's totally shitty.
We cancelled our cable service and went to Netflix because it was simply too cumbersome to use and would spontaneously delete all recordings or not record audio, or cut off at odd times.
My brother signed a deal with Universal. They sold some records, did okay, then Universal decided that they would just do whatever they wanted and ignore the contract. "After all, we've got more lawyers..."
They went from offering tens of thousands for each band member when signing -- to handing them a bill for $50k when they asked for the cash. "Oh, after pressing, studio time, distribution, it looks like you owe us a fortune."
My brother and his bandmates called Universal's bluff, but they ended up walking away from the contract, and they can't sign with anyone else.

Damn it.

Well yeah, it was a baseball game. Everyone was either drunk or not there.
Actually, you are more likely to kill a kid when travelling above those posted limits. You're eight times more likely to kill someone at 50km/h vs. 30km/h.

And no, you are not a better driver. You're unskilled and unaware.

Don't forget how McKay got the Air Force to dig through their emails to see if anyone could find out if his critics had ever flown in a helicopter.
Use a rifle. You don't even have to register them anymore.

No, you're fine.
Hey man, on September 11, 2001, 18,000 children starved to death.
I would suggest, based on your grammatical skills, that the problem lies not with the market but with you.
I lost my job in the recession. I make over 150% of what I was making in 2009.

It's like a scam, but without the trying.
I loved that book. My dad gave me a copy.
I'm also putting a bookmark into this thread.
