I have no idea what 'master' is even supposed to mean. Since the device that is in use is actually selected in the [Audio settings][Device Preference], what is the point of having a 'master' ?
So, why can't they be sued into the ground for product misrepresentation ? There needs to be cases like that with hard jail time before the practise will stop (ha! As if).
I don't understand why the dowry problem doesn't solve itself by simple economics. If a woman has 10 men to choose from, why doesn't she (or her parents) choose the one(s) that doesn't require a dowry ?
The Pauper Post Doc Army is collective punishment for lack of significant clinical advancement in Cancer, Cardiovascular Disease, Alzheimer's and Schizophrenia.
Have you seen the rate of survival of cancer now vs 30 years ago ? Don't say there aren't advances.
Why would that be the only solution ? Receiving a clear radio signal would be another one (even if we can't decode it). Direct optical observation of some types (seasons, artificially illuminated nights...) of planetary surfaces would be another one (granted we are not there yet, even if some plans for such telescopes are being drawn). And there are others.
Claiming that "we are going to find alien life by XXXX date" is akin to claiming "the world is going to end by XXXX date".
There are reasons for such a claim. Bigger telescopes are being designed or built right now with the express purpose of finding exolife. Methods are being devised for finding life and intelligent life (two different things): look for chlorophyll ? For radiated energy ? For pollution ? For radio signals ? For laser beams ?... Even if you take the low estimate on the number of planets with life, the rate at which we discover new planets makes it rather sure that by that date we should have found several candidates. If not, then something will be strangely wrong.
On my old 1995 Nokia, there was a Push To Talk function that used a little known option of the GSM protocol. But of course the provider disabled that function in the phone it 'offered' with the contract, since you didn't need to pay them if you used it. Is that function somewhat similar ?
What was the name of that firefox addon that disables facebook (and others) when it is embedded in somebody else's page ? While still allowing you to use facebook.com. I forgot.
The only scenario I find credible and that is perhaps not so unlikely is that large parts of the army and national guard would split off and join the resistance [...]
Which is basically also the only way that any rebellion/revolution has managed to succeed in the past.
Yeah, I have those options on my ISP-provided ADSL router where I can select between 'best ping time', 'larger frames for P2P transfer' (their words) and 2 other options I don't remember.
A DNA test would only be relevant if the remains of another member of Alexander's familly was available for comparison.
Ptolemy I may have been the half-brother of Alexander so the answer could be in some of the mummies of that dynasty.
There's actually a likely possibility that the cranium of Alexander's father, Phillip II of Macedonia, has been found some years ago in another tomb. Don't know about the state of DNA on it though.
Talk for yourself. I like the bus a lot more than a car. In the morning I'm sleepy and don't like to drive. In the evening I'm tired and don't like to drive. Plus in the bus I'm comfortable, can nap, talk with the cute chick or most likely watch videos on my phone. I can also bike to work (long ride) in the morning and put the bike in the bus on the way back (uphill). Plus it's cheap. The bus is great.
Exemptions would be made for large families and legitimate business use.
Why ? If you want 6 kids, you should be able to afford them. Otherwise <snip> Overpopulation is to root of all evil so I don't see reasons to encourage it except by economists who think 'growth' can be forever.
This has been debated to death already, but I find all your arguments pretty weak, if not plain wrong. What else is there to do on a noisy flight besides taking a nap ? If you want to work, get an office ! As for hurting your back, those seats are way too straight and hurt my back quickly if not reclined. PS: the angle of the table doesn't change upon reclining.

And if you throw buetooth speakers into the mix it turns into a complete nightmare that only a reboot can fix. Sometimes.

By now everybody knows that having a dumbfuck mother like Jenny McCarthy will give you autism...
As long as I can run both on the same computer temporarily so I can copy from old container to new one, it should be OK.
Why is it so fucking hard to get a team of reputable people, using a well designed experiment, test this thing?
Because we are busy. It takes 10 times more time to debunk bullshit than to spew it around.
It cut both ways: what do you think of the use of jury nullification to free KKK murderers by all white juries in the south ? Yes, it happened.
I can't stand the Family Circus. I don't go around posting about how much it sucks. Get a life and let others enjoy what they want.

But the real story is even more absurd, the fact that the average person believes they are of any interest to anyone but marketers.
Nobody is of interest until something happens that makes you commited.
You don't need to be exhaustive. You only need to find ONE.

Eifelheim is absolutely awesome. The story is original, it's intelligent, well written, caters to history buffs as well...

capitalism as severed the world well
There are so many different ways to interpret those two (?) typos...

Kind of... the ability to resist cold for one...
