Strange, I find it very good. I typed "Antarctic Explorers" and then added a columned for "explored" and it tells me what those guys did explore, even adding multiple extra items. Granted, there are a few that went nowhere near Antarctica.
One simply has to watch a bodybuilding competition to see the difference in potential.
How is this relevant to anything but the ability to soak up Anabolic Steroids without dying immediately before the competition ? At least you should compare sexes in a real sport (one that uses brains and muscles, there are so very few of them).
I'd heard of Conservapedia when it got started but only just now did I got take a look. Their front page is AMAZING and well worth a look. It's both incredibly funny and terrifying. The extremes to which some people go to avoid educating themselves on simple subjects is really surprising.

Note that EVERY major religion EXCEPT Christianity actively encourages the subjugation or extermination of non-believers in one form or another.
Hmmm... and yet, catholics strived to eliminate all competition from the countries they controlled (only the Jewish religion managed to survive, all others were wiped out of middle-age Europe). Contrast that with moslem countries where you have jews, christians, Zoroastrians... Or even better India where hinduism, jainism, buddhism, sikhism and ayyavazhi sometimes share the same temples.
Depending on the background of its rulers, it often had several different names at any given time; among the most common were Byzantium (Byzantion), New Rome (Latin: Nova Roma), Constantinople, and Stamboul. It was also called Tsargrad ("City of the Emperors") by the Slavs, while to the Vikings it was known as Miklagad, "the Great City", similar to the common Greek appellation "the City" (he Polis).
It was officially renamed to its modern Turkish name Istanbul in 1930 with the Turkish Postal Service Law, as part of Ataturk's national reforms. This name in turn derives from the Greek phrase eis ten polin ("to the City").
I know attempting a serious answer to a discussion riddled with baby seal jokes is rather useless, but baby seals can't swim until they lose their bay fur which provides insulation only against cold air, not cold water.
...although they use an IIS server with a modified header to make it look like Apache, slashdot.org has been reported 'probably' not at risk since nobody understands its unicode support anyway.
I thought we had 11 senses... Why do we keep teaching that we have 5!?!?!
Same for the continents. I've been to all 7 but people still think (and teach) that there are 5... There must be something safe to that number 5 that people are afraid to get lost afterwards.
Can't use it with more than 10 tabs ? That's an easy fix: open the config page (type "about:config" and enter in the address bar). Then change the value of browser.tabs.tabMinWidth to 0 in order to make them fit without scrolling, then browser.tabs.closeButtons to 3 to move the 'close' button to the upper right. Plenty of space now.
What I want to see is LobbyTV, where you can replay your favorite lobbyist / politician interaction. Although I suspect most of the videos would be pretty short: fade to a lush private golf course in the middle of the desert, with a table covered with caviar, Chateau Yquem and other delicacies. Lobbyist, presenting a suitcase of money: "This is for you to vote for the integration of a chip in every computer to prevent the copying of our music". Politician: "Ok". Fade to black.
Here's a thought: Have you noticed a recent substantial decrease in sales or income that isn't characteristic across other publishers (maybe based on the recession)?
I concur. I sell images off my website. In arbitrary units, in the last 10 years I've been selling between 3 and 10 a month. Since last summer I've sold only two. Maybe the rise of flickr is for something in the wild availability of quality images, but I'd bet on the crisis and everybody holding out for better times...
Specialized tech books don't get bought by individuals who may also be cheap asses and willing to pirate them. They get bought by _employees_ who need them in their works. And an employee doesn't care how much they cost and they are certainly not willing to get fired for a torrent download in order to save the company 50$ !
Also remember that tech books have a short shelf life. If I want a python book and I see it 3 years out of date, I'm pretty sure there's something more recent.
Yeah, what is this garbage site ? Do they scrape mailing lists and usenet for their 'expertise' ? No expert in his right mind would subscribe to a crappy site like that. And how come they always come out on top for any tech search ?
A free-form regex can be arbitrarily complicated and would be difficult to pre-compute and cache. To get the right results it would have to search on the full database.
I understand that the indexing needs simplified terms. So they make the search on that, but instead of displaying the whole thing, what stops them from filtering it through grep before sending it off to to querying browser ? I don't see where the problem is, except that it may miss some matches in the first step.
I have a facebook friend who's currently waiting for some top secret credentials for a job. He warned me that I may receive some questions from the FBI. It kinds of surprises me since I am not affiliated with the USofA. I guess he was pulling my leg...
So, is there a way to detect GPS antennas (maybe with some kind of frequency resonator ?) so you can remote it and stick it on the first 18-wheeler you find ?

Who the hell is this Fillon guy?
We wonder about that too, here in France.
the one pan-european political party [libertas.eu] which is against this sort of supranationality, isn't getting much traction with the voters.
Maybe because they're just shit? In Italy they've sided with recycled fascists...
And because in France they sided with a remnant of royalist party Viscount Philippe Le Jolis de Villiers de Saintignon

I would set mine to "What is t1f2l3g4 ?" with the answer being "Not my password!"

If it was an honest test, they would have asked him about Kristen Bell.
Just to show that tastes vary (and that's a good thing), I think she looks like a piglet. And for the record, no, I'm not attracted to piglets.

When researchers don't address a loss of a 3rd of their sample they are not doing their job. Something is fishy from that end.
They got pulped to death by the girls to whom they said: "there's no risk of you getting pregnant, I'm on an experimental contraceptive, trust me..."
