Should they not be talking about the greatest _ratio_ of surface area to volume? The Earth itself, for example, has a pretty great amount of surface area.
When I moved to New York years ago (I've moved away since), I once had a man ask me where I was from originally. I responded, "Indiana," and got a blank look. He asked me, "Is that upstate?"
If you can post the section of the US Constitution that specifically addresses the right to privacy, I think that would be educational for all of us here.
A CEO, or indeed any executive for that matter, fired for something as absurd as not doing their job very well? What is this world coming to? Well, I certainly hope she at the very least has the comfort of a multi-million-dollar severance package.
"A technology will be appearing soon in TVs that fingerprints what is onscreen and sends that information to an internet server able to identify the content, whether it's live TV or another source, like a DVD."
After having read the friendly article, it's clear that Nintendo's designers didn't design this controller. In fact, before this incident they may not have been aware that it existed. The family apparently had to look for - and look pretty hard - a realistic-looking gun controller for the Wii manufactured in a foreign country.
Yes, that's right, as gun owners they went to considerable effort to obtain for their 3 year old child a toy that looked as much as possible like the actual firearms present in their home.
Or, you might assume that people who are really sick soon learn that homeopathy does nothing for them and seek some treatment based on something other than distilled water, thereby reducing the percentage of homeopathic patients who actually suffer serious health concerns. News flash: if you go to a hospital, you're going to find sick people there. The obvious conclusion to draw is not that going to a hospital makes you sick.
It doesn't take anything specific to produce a placebo effect. That's exactly what the placebo effect means, actually. So these people could be given anything at all, there's no need for them to receive any specific substance (particularly a specific homeopathic remedy). But there's also the nocebo effect. Which is to say that it isn't true that treatment by placebo is free from negative side effects. If you believe you're getting real medicine, and you believe that real medicine produces side effects, then you may suffer from them.
Even if the government stops paying for homeopathic medicine, you can just take your last subsidized dosage and add it to a gallon of distilled water. Not only do you now have more of it, it's now phenomenally more powerful! And when you're almost out, you can do it again! And it only gets better! Seriously, why ever pay for this stuff more than once?
All you have to do is identify a large quantity of emails that you're already 100% certain are spam generated by one particular system using one particular template. Then this process can analyze it and deduce the template so that in future you can... be 100% certain that certain emails are spam generated by one particular system using one particular template.
You are missing something. But it's a common misconception. What defines fair use is complicated, and there are no clearcut lines such as non-profit = non-infringing. It'd be nice if there were, and most people assume there are. But there just aren't. That's why these things always involve lengthy and expensive court cases.

Right here in River City!
With a capital "T", and that rhymes with "P", and that stands for...
The correct term would be "antagonist".
You keep using that word...
Why would you post this sentiment online, from a computer?

Actually, from TFSummary...

I was going to say, doesn't Gatorade do this already?
I for one find it impossible to believe that an ATM machine could fail with no redundancy!
And you used the magic words, "if" and "should he be convicted". Respectable.

Most of the geeks I know are also foodies, and a large percentage of them love to cook.
Shoot, our connection to the internet is down. What can we do for fun now?
Want to watch a mo... oh, shoot.

What can you even say?

Besides which, homeopathy ain't exactly cheap.

Seriously, read up on homeopathy. It's not herbal medicine. Really. Actually read. I'm serious.
Wish they'd had this when I was in the third grade...
Yeah, it's always good to have a few fat slobs to cover your escape while you run out the back door.

Yawn.

C'mon, one of us might have forgotten!
