My wife bought me noise canceling in-ear headphones; they work surprisingly well. I have found this to be a little disorienting when you do something like open a bag of chips and there is no external noise, but it seems like the bag-crinkle noise is conducted through your body and you sort of hear it inside your head - strange. Crunching is too weird, I have to turn them off. Great on airplanes and trains though!
Sine gasoline care drive about 3 Trillion miles a year in the US, and the total Tesla mileage. probably isn't even a million limes yet, it paint a different picture, doesn't it Elon?
Miles driven before incident is the measure that's used, not how many are on the road.
"...I heard that they look for people that demonstrate they are good and ignore fake things like degrees that do not show aptitude or drive.
hhhmmmm, this explains those random electrical fires and that tablet monstrosity near the driver... [j/k - I like their cars, just not gonna spend 80k on one.]
You throw salt out, hover around a bit, then land. Problem solved. Also, if there is salt left over, use it for the margarita glasses - just be sure to bring fresh limes & decent tequila: obviously you won't need to bring the ice.
Good points, however the Apollo mission had to solve problems that had no prior examples of solutions that worked. Even though I'm sure the website in question is complex, there are other complex websites that deal with insurance quotes for individuals.
Evidence that using the mind, and and being stimulated by different environments (something that we naturally tend to do less of as we age and get into lifelong habbits) helps...
Isn't this just good advice regardless? Why put the sword over the kid's head? Just encourage them be life-long learners and try new challenging things every chance they get?
If you change the crystal structure to make diamonds flow, they are not diamonds - it is soot. This is equivalent of saying I'm swimming in ICE (crystalline) when I am really swimming in WATER (liquid). dUMB!
dude, you should check "Wall Street Journal" sometime. I block non-subscriber posts, and I am still shocked at the juvenile commentary on stories there. Slashdot comments are like a PhD thesis compared to WSJ.
I think the hypothesis works better the other way: people who have fewer cavities because of regular dental checkups & regular x-rays, and are more prone to cancer in the head. Conversely, people who have more cavities are not taking care of their teeth, so less dental check-ups & x-rays.
Some recent uses of my fingerprints in which I had no real say:
1. Passport check at CDG airport
2. Applying for a Speedpass for CA toll roads
3. Getting some papers notarized
So, there are many current uses of fingerprinting in routine life that one has to comply with, and who can say how secure any of it is? But, trust Apple? This is a worthy debate and I trust my fellows slashdotters will post good comments on both sides. Me? I want better security on my phone, as I use it for purchases and banking. I think biometrics is a move in the right direction, what do you think?
Seems like a BS excuse to me. Minors receive scholarship money; hell they even turn pro is some sports. When my daughter started college she was only 17, but she controlled her own accounts at the UC she was attending without needing me to sign for everything. Paypal could find a work around if they wanted to.
"maximizes possible future states of local environment" is what he seems to mean, vs. "maximize entropy" is what is being said. Speaking on behalf of the chemists in the audience, we don't like it when pop lit mangles meanings of words. This is how we wind up with "organic water."/end_rant.

How many limes to the gallon?
... 3) Number of hard stops
So, if you avoided the hard stop, and just RAN OVER the little old lady, they would give you a discount? ;^)
You beat me to this one. I actually read that whole damn book, thinking it would be worth my time - what a laugh.

Excellent post. If only I had mod points today.

There is meta-moderationon slashdot; thus there is feedback on moderators.

Changes constantly, as it is what controls pupil size. Don't get how this would be very good at positive ID, especially if lighting is a variable.

Great movie with a great message that seems to really apply here.
The tiny town of Ashford was engulfed in molten lava. Nearby, residents are wondering if study approval got proper scrutiny.
They commit crimes.
They break laws.
They can kill if left unchecked.
umm... how come you know so much about the rapist mentality?
my movie is animated, so it is only made of electrons - top that IBM!
What do I do now with my Masters degree in noodle slicing?
teach?
