It doesn't matter. The moment humans began to care for other members of their society survival of the fittest no long applied. What we want is far more relevant than what is evolutionarily beneficial to our species.
There is a theory which states that if ever anyone gets IPv6 working without any glitches, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.
more data from crashes it seems to me that the obvious solution would be to just ease up on aircraft maintenance requirements. Leave it to the government to always pick the hard way.
Your anecdote of getting something through in your jacket doesn't prove anything, other than that things get through, which of course is true. It was true when the rules were much simpler, as on 9/11 when the box cutters didn't trigger anybody's suspicion. Your anecdote of the box cutters getting through on 9/11 also proves nothing since they weren't banned at the time.
Elsewhere in the world destruction of evidence is taken as guilt. Is that not the case in the USA? If my interpretation of this is correct it would seem that destruction of evidence can be used as evidence of guilt in some circumstances.
Christians don't claim to know the answer. Correction. Right thinking Christians don't claim to know the answer. Creationists on the other hand are quite certain they have all the answers.
Actually "Deep Thought" was a play on "deep throat", which was the code name for Deputy Director of the FBI William Mark Felt, Sr., the guy that narked on Nixon. Oddly, the term originated in the name of a porn movie starring Linda Lovelace, and the very first computer programmer was Ada Lovelace, who wrote programs for Charles Babbage's Anylitical Engine, the world's first programmable computer that wasn't actually built until late in the 20th century. Not to mention that Ada Lovelace was the daughter of Lord Byron who wrote in his epic poem Don Juan:
Now, like Friar Bacon's brazen head, I've spoken, 'Time is', 'Time was', 'Time's past'. And of course the Friar Roger Bacon has the same last name as Kevin Bacon.
Yes I know, many people are going to shout that DVD's are GOOD ENOUGH. Fine. VCR tapes were GOOD ENOUGH too. DVDs are good enough for most people. VCR tapes aren't instant access. They wear out and lose quality over time. They are much bigger and harder to store than DVDs. These are the reasons why people would never give up their DVDs for tapes again, it has little to do with resolution.
Bluray OTOH has nothing to offer but resolution as reason to upgrade from DVD and that's not enough for me and many other people.
You say the DVD side was a huge drop in quality, and yet that's the side you ended up watching? Does actual usability factor into your quality assessment somehow?
If we do away with DST, who says we need to stick with the summer hours all year round? If we keep the winter hours than we get more of that nice daytime after work all year long.
There's probably other things, too, that we just take for granted as they are such small impacts on our time (energy), yet add up to significant amounts in aggregate. I guess that depends on how you define significance. Someone a little down thread figured that the US wasts about 95 man years changing clocks for DST every year. Ok, that sounds like a lot but only if you pretend it isn't an aggregate of millions of peoples time. Any insignificant amount multiplied enough will come out to a significant amount but that doesn't make it significant. I just tried to imagine something that American's spend less time doing than changing their clocks and I drew a blank.

I think it's safe to say that both scabbing/scarring and regeneration are both damn slow compared to the mountain lion that just bit off your hand.
Maybe, or maybe not. At this point nobody knows what would happen.
To me that would all depend on how painful the cancer and how much later it happens.

Hmm, interesting. That's right where Dick Cheney's star system would be. That man sure likes his secrets.
Everyone knows that ignorance is no excuse for breaking the law. Just you wait, I guarantee the first signal SETI discovers will be a summons.

Maybe next time he should strap some C4 to the computer. You've got to make things unambiguous for the TSA if you don't want them to delay you.

Some believe that your post is full of nonsense. Others believe it is ridiculous.

I had some cyber-contact lenses so I could remember where the hell I put my cyber-goggles.
Verizon does the same crap. I had one of the soft keys on my last phone permanently set to their useless Buy it Now service.
Apple users would disagree.
Oh wait, I think that's supposed to be bad. I guess that explains my pay scale.
Connecticut and Rhode Island are both Springfield-less.
