Teach him how to make money coding, for instance, doing website design for small businesses. Wait until he makes a lot of easy money doing it. Then kick his ass out the door and let him fend for himself. When he figures out it's a matter of survival, he'll be coding in no time.
Who's up for getting together and destroying the Frisbee trademark forever? I am pretty sure we could make a good case it has lost its distinctiveness and is now a common term.
Then we could finally go back to calling it Ultimate Frisbee, instead of the vaguely pretentious-sounding 'Ultimate'.
I don't use Facebook, Twitter, or any of the other ultra-stupid Web 2.0 time wasters. And these days, the further away I am from my email, the better off I am.
That isn't something to brag about. You're a dinosaur.
Why? He's right. When a problem is right on top of you, it's very easy to quantify.
Yes I know the saying, "ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure". But it doesn't work that way. It's hard to quantify a problem that's years in the future, so preventions tend to be financially wasteful.
OK, with all of the suggestions here, I am SO CLOSE to finding my G-spot and I just need a bit of help.
So I've got two fingers in (relax guys, I am legal, just turned 19 last week), and curled backward to do the 'come here' sign, but backwards, since I am doing this to myself. I am almost two inches in, and it is starting to feel good, but my fingers are short. My question is this: Should I try to go deeper by inserting a third finger, or will this just make my thumb jamb up against my balls?
You're misunderstanding what a negative argument is.
Go try to test this hypothesis: "No rat can survive 2+ hours in 0degree salt water, ever."
You can test it all you like, with a million rats if you so desire. But you can never confirm it, even if you test a million of them. There might be some rat genotype out there capable of surviving, and you can't prove there isn't. That's trying to prove a negative.
In your example, you have proven that some average survival time of your rats is 2.5hrs. That's a positive.
Hyperbole, from ancient Greek "", meaning excess or exaggeration) is a figure of speech in which statements are exaggerated. It may be used to evoke strong feelings or to create a strong impression, but is not meant to be taken literally.
Get your Assburgers diagnosed. I could shine a CO2 laser in your face, and it wouldn't be as blindingly obvious as that sarcasm was.
Most of these artificial heart patients end up dying of strokes, caused of course by blood clots. It's theorized that such clots are easier to form in a pulse-less environment of steady-flow than in an environment where the blood is being "shaken" a bit, ie the pulse with each heartbeat.
Sounds like sour grapes to me. Google has a technically superior engine, and Mozilla's whining about it. Well boo-hoo guys, how about cutting the crap and getting to work improving your product?
They're not stupid, they understand it fine. They just don't want it. And they write their stories to cater to the audience that the left-wing sites don't. That's their market.
My advice? And it's what I did... get a projector.
You get a bigger screen than a TV (for me, 82" at 9.8ft), and it accepts all sorts of inputs. I have my HDTV box wired up to it by component cables, and a VGA D-SUB coming down for my laptop. It works fabulously, and I can switch between the two with a single button on the remote.
Just because we understand how to send and recieve radio waves, doesn't mean we always know what happens when we bounce a lot of them off of cells in the human body.
Ionizing radiation is what's damaging to the human body. It hits electrons and strips them off their host atoms.
Thing is...there's an absolute minimum energy you need to strip one of them off (ionize). And radio-wavelength photons simply dont' have it.
You can throw as many photons of sub-UV frequency as you please at a human being -- long wave, medium wave, shortwave, VHF, UHF, microwave... it makes no difference. Those photons just don't have enough energy to push an electron out of its orbit, no matter if you throw one per second or a billion. All they can do is heat things up, like in a microwave. They can't ionize.
And, quite frankly, if there were significant harmful effects from EM waves, we'd know it by now. They've been broadcast for 80 years.
Effective tools amplify your ability to do things you want to do.
Problem is, that's why gun control works. A gun turns a violent impulse at a bar from a beating into a shooting. Fewer guns statistically, fewer beatings turn into shootings. As long as the gun control is effective and not just punishing law-abiding users, of course.
Bad English isn't something you can keep locked out of sight in the back closet of society; it's like a termite infestation. Allow it a foothold and it'll spread everywhere. It's a higher-entropy state.
There's a world difference between someone who's just writing casually (and goofing up), and someone else who is completely unable to grasp the tenets of grammar. The former are perfectly capable of writing well on a resume, as you say; the latter are functionally illiterate, and they should be told when their English isn't good enough to participate in a discussion. There's nothing wrong with that; it gives them the opportunity to improve.

How fat are you that that actually worked?
No, it didn't.
How are you richer?
The value of the song is set by the market, not the retailer. The ability to freely copy that song drives its market value towards $0.
$50+$0 is still $50.

Not to nitpick, but come on. It's the first line of the article, guys.

There is an algorithm now for calculating the nth digit of Pi at a whim.
This is slightly retarded.

What, you mean some X11 fanboi has a hard-on for confirmation bias, and led us astray in the article summary? Say it ain't so...

It's all about money.
It's not funny, it's ironic.
If your representatives don't understand what they're passing, they're no longer in control. Those two lawyers, and whoever pays them, are.

Five-year olds would generally find adult content yucky and boring. Or else hilarious. They wouldn't be 'harmed' by it.

Shorter waves. A is 5.2Ghz, higher frequency = shorter wavelength.
Generally, the longer the waves, the better a signal is going to propagate through obstacles.

In this climate I don't see Microsoft buying -anything- for a $20B outlay unless it were the next Google. And Yahoo isn't.
