In most languages, the verb form depends on the subject, not the speaker. Does "I run" look different in slavic languages depending on if the speaker is a man or a woman?
I think the linear approximation is exactly right in this case, because the relationship happens to be linear.
Assume p messages contain dead giveaways, which allow us to determine the gender with certainty. The other (1-p) messages we have to guess on, so we get it right with half of those. So the total number we get right is
You should change *from* the defaults as much as you like, but it's the distributor's responsibility to set the defaults to sensible values in the first place. That's part of the point with having a distribution.
I've always assumed Ozymandias intended the first meaning, but the visitor can read the second meaning into it if they wish. I.e, Ozymandias unwittingly created an ironic statement on his own might.
Yeah, what an idiot. The letters should OBVIOUSLY be written so we can look at them from satellite, instead of so they can be viewed from the nearest city.
After all, he did write them for geeks on Slashdot, didn't he?
I don't think all cultures are of equal value, but I think we should think twice before pushing our culture on others, or we may end up doing more harm than good.
AIDS transmits from one person's bloodstream to another's through the small ruptures in the genital organs which occur during intercourse, and malaria transmits through direct injection into the blood by mosquitoes, so it's not strange if enhanced sanitary conditions have little or no effect on them.
Enhanced nutrition and generally better health also hava a huge impact on the chances to survive an infection.
I'm not denying that vaccines have been and are important for some diseases, though - I just think we should be careful to dismiss sceptics.

Gender theory.
Sure "out" is a verb. As a non-native speaker, I think one of the nifty things about English is that you can form verbs from nouns so easily.
If Nobel laureate V.S. Naipaul only gets it right 65% of the time, I'm not that impressed.
The internet: where men are men, women are men, and children are federal agents (also men.)
Actually, many of the federal agents playing girls are women.
Um, I've heard.

g = p*1 + (1-p)*0,5 = p + 0,5 - 0,5p = 0,5 + 0,5p
Solve for g=0,66:
0,66 = 0,5 + 0,5p
0,16 = 0,5p
0,32 = p
Yep. And all of the chicks I've chatted with so far have turned out to be men. They refused to send the pic.
If they included all the adolescent twitters in the statistics, it's not so impressive the software can tell who's female...
"OMFG! LoL! ha ha! ur so qt!"
That depends on if you include bad science in your definition of science.
The moderation itself deserves a +1 Funny ;-)

It's the distributor's responsibility to decide what the defaults should be...
I'd say Lynx.
You're probably right about that. I guess there's a huge difference between what theologicians say and what the "Christian on the street" believes.
Thanks, didn't know that.
Because obviously, he intended it to be read through satellite images by people in other countries, not from the nearest city.

Excuse me, are you American?
I'd like to know if I can put it on my list of American quotes...

The New Testament is written in Greek, and Jews/Christians don't believe the holy scriptures are written by God, only inspired by him.
I substitute "writing his name" for "buying slaves".
I think "visible from space" is usually taken to mean "visible by the naked eye when outside of Earth's atmosphere".

What, you mean modding something Funny doesn't give the poster any positive karma?
