The original Mac team was filed with absolute sheer geniuses.
Yes. Things like QuickDraw were amazing. that they managed to accomplish that with such a tiny footprint is just astounding, and is what allowed the Mac to be a Mac while PCs were still running DOS.
You're right. People should never think critically and try to find other, simpler explanations for a supposed phenomenon, not as long as it comes from a scientist, of course.
Critical thinking is good, of course, but what usually happens here is that people think for about ten seconds, come up with something obvious, and just assume that the researchers who've been working on for months and sometimes years somehow never thought of it. Like this guy, for one example.
I don't see why you would think that considering sunlight is not a "scientific" conjecture, but anyway, from TFA:
.
Huge variations in the wind direction and sunlight in the areas where the beasts were found meant that the scientists were able to rule out those factors as being responsible for the direction they were facing.
They would have gotten at least extended to 28 years. Hell, Nintendo is STILL selling them. People are STILL buying them. IMO they deserve those sales when they manage to make something that stays relevant for such a long time.
Patents expire in 17 or 20 years, even if people are still buying the item. I don't think anybody proposes that we would be better off if that were longer.
1) The victim was actively pursued and persuaded to take part in the illegal activity. That sounds a helluva lot like entrapment.
Except of course for the pesky part about it having to be the State which does the persuading. If, say, Fat Tony persuades you to steal, it's still a crime.
There were enough. That's when I bought my first CD. It was one of those things where once you've bought the player you're almost compelled to buy whatever came out on CD. My first was Tropico, by Pat Benetar.
A corporation does not get tired or beaten down, especially by an individual.
Shareholders do. Owners do. The business model the recording industry wants to pursue is not viable. It is bad for *everyone*. The sooner that becomes clear, the sooner we have a reasonable and healthy industry that benefits both listeners and artists alike. The current model turning into a dismal failure makes it that much easier for a good model to emerge and flourish.
I disagree. I've had a lot more luck with binary drivers with my ATI card than with any shitty open source driver.
The local taxi company once had a binary driver. The problem was his endurance. After too many shifts he kept rolling over. Then they upgraded him to 32 bit so he could make longer trips.

Damn. the phrase book I bought said something about eels and a hovercraft. My book is pants.
Yes, but only after 8 A.M. in the morning.

I'm guessing he figured that the post is so thoroughly wrong that it must be deliberate.
But Apple didn't announce it and then drop it. So that would be different.

There's a sig just waiting to happen.
Having your own personal definition of words does not make the rest of the world's incorrect.
Give it up there, SW. The mean is the average. The median is not. your own links say so.
No, but you're welcome to make a copy of it.
I'm guessing you're young. Simply being young already means a person with poor judgement. Drinking makes it triply so.
No, that would be your ear.
Hey, it's not as easy as it looks. What with all the hopping around and all.
That's some fine arithmetic there, Lou.

That's just an old wise tale.
What if they have a police artist's sketch? And then those guys go to jail too.
He's got way too much muscle tone for a meth addict in that condition. They tend not to eat. He looks strong.

The reasonable part was not attributed to the submitter. Presumably that was added by the editor.
I think your joke came pre-ruined ;-)
