Google rates you based on if your handicapped friendly or not??
Yes, indirectly. Accessible sites are easy to index. Go ahead and put your text in images without ALT tags and see how well Google indexes the site. Use ALT tags and screen readers can help blind people use your site.
The 10% of "SEO" that is "fixing your website" is fine - good even. Make your URL's friendly, make your site accessible (to both handicapped humans and robots), follow standards, validate your code, organize your pages, etc.
To the degree that any of the other 90% works, that's a bug Google should be (and usually is) actively fixing in their search ranking algorithms. In the meantime, thank goodness for Akismet for keeping the leeches away.
It's something of a Prisoner's Dilemma. For each individual this may be true, but load up the court with 6,000 traffic cases, each calling a representative from the traffic company to come and swear to the calibration of the cameras, and things would change very quickly. People have power in numbers.
If you're driving so fast towards a traffic light that you can't stop in twenty yards without screeching the tires, you're doing it wrong, yes.
You just said nobody should ever drive over 15 MPH. Yellow lights are supposed to be calibrated for the required braking distance, at the posted speed limit, for the worst of the typical range of common road conditions.
Trouble is, they often aren't - either for revenue enhancement or due to a lack of competence. Both are at the expense of safety.
We have this here - a steep downhill slope rated at 40MPH with a light at the bottom and a yellow of about 4.5 seconds. There's no way to do it properly, and semi trucks always run the red, because, y'know, physics. Locals know not to trust the opposite green but out-of-towners can be caught unawares.
The thing is, red light and speeding cameras are illegal by statute in NH, so there's no revenue incentive - they could park a cop at the bottom of the hill but they rarely do. It's more of a safety problem than anything, but the City won't do anything about it.
The volume of water displaced by floating ice is exactly the volume of water the ice will fill when melted.
Yes, for fresh water ice in fresh water and for salt water ice in salt water. If it's fresh water ice in salt water, the difference in density makes a tiny difference in displacement. So, icebergs that calved from glaciers would be slightly different from sea ice.
Not much at all, compared to the money that is given out for instance for oil exploration and new extraction technologies. So follow the money.
To argue for the GP: oil exploration money is not available to academic climatologists. He was saying, if you're in academia doing climatology, and if you want funding, be a global warming scientist.
It's a separate argument from the availability of money to political interest groups. Except in the case where the academics become the interest group (because they want that government funding). Nasty feedback cycle there.
I've played Sim Earth. I know what happens with global warming... the equator becomes a giant desert
Sounds like Sim Earth didn't take into account the three *miles* of ice that's been building up on Antarctica melting, thereby increasing the overall humidity of the atmosphere. Remember, Northern Africa and the Middle East used to be lush, before the current cold period set in. They were considered the 'cradle of civilization'.
My experience has been related to patching up broken modules, finding out that there's no support for separate writing and reading databases (needed for scaling and load balancing), finding out that the core is database agnostic but modules regularly inline MySQL-specific code, etc.
I actually read TFA to see if any of this is fixed. What I learned instead is that:
1) Drupal 8 will be bold. That was oft-repeated. 2) Drupal 8 will have a WYSIWYG editor in core. 3) Drupal 8 will be built on Symfony which sounds like it might have a sane architecture. They say that Drupal developers who learned to hack on Drupal will be hopelessly lost but that Drupal developers who are professional engineers who took CS and have a general understanding of web development frameworks will be just fine. So 98% of Drupal developers will probably stay on Drupal 7 until 2018.
I didn't know I was a slave until I found out I couldn't do the things I wanted. - Frederick Douglass
The thing about slavery is that there have been so many forms with various levels of freedom. And then variations like serfdom and helotry.
What would be your test for whether a person is a slave - a test that would encompass all historical forms of slavery? Find that test and apply it to modern subjects of nation states to see where they fall. Apply some small variations ("plus they are allowed to insult the master"). Measure against the legal theory that slaves have no inherent right to property and compare it to up-to-100% of income being subject to confiscation. See where the chips may fall.
In the US, at least, the traditional definition of 'citizen' ("a oath of allegiance in exchange for a duty of protection") isn't in play as the Supreme Court has repeatedly rejected the argument that the government has any duty to protect its People. What we are here is a very open question, from a legal history perspective.
A while ago chavez expeled the "Bodies revealed" expo from venezuela, and denounced it as inmoral.
If that was about the time when the reports came out that the bodies were those of executed Chinese political prisoners then maybe he wasn't so crazy. This one time.
Personally I don't see the point of bitcoins. I don't pay for everything in cash in the real world because it lacks the protections that other payment methods have.
But the problems are symmetrical. If you're an American, you're using a different digital currency (USD) that lacks the cryptographic and non-inflationary benefits of Bitcoin. But, over time many groups of people have created systems to allow you to use that currency in a more safe manner than storing large anonymous bits of it yourself. For that safety and convenience, they take a cut.
These systems will evolve too for Bitcoin, but it's true that they're not quite here yet.
Atty. General Holder made the position of the administration quite clear in his letter to Sen. Paul.
Yes, Holder's letter says that the National Security Council can order a strike on an American like Chris Hedges, who still fits Judge Leon's definition of "enemy combatant", which is standing law and enhanced by the 2012 NDAA.
When lawyers say things, it's all in the legal definitions. The more skilled ones use terms that sound like ordinary English but have precise meanings to the courts.

The only difference would be that it would also cost the municipality more than it gained from the tickets.
And so it would stop, so the costs would be short term.
It's from when I did an install about a year ago, but one should be able to grep a repository for SQL easily enough.

You don't heal a machine, you repair it. methinks there's way too much anthropomorphising these days.
Yes, and it needs to stop because the language hates that.
But it says it in the title! Twice!
But that sounded better.
it often costs you more to fight it

You have never been in northern canada in the summer. The black flies alone will keep it from being habitable.
My first thought as well - one does not simply visit Labrador in the summer.
But ... at some level of increased temperatures the climate ought to change enough to rid the land of that scourge. But what would that level be?
Maybe some saint will just unleash a genetic weapon against the little bastards first.

the rest of us don't have giant blue oxen to help us dig out
These days they usually say '2500' on the side.
Quite so - the ecosystem is a mess.

You win the story.

Why are you on Slashdot tonight instead of working to help the infected Italians?

Do you just use words like "fascism" randomly with no understanding whatsoever of their meaning?
Link for the GP.
With paper books, does each revision share the same ISBN? That seems like it would be really bad for inventory control.
and the LastPass browser extension makes this fairly trivial to implement.

And threaten the People with violence if they have those things.
