Or are you suggesting that the majority of Muslims in other countries is less extreme than those living in the relatively liberal UK?
There does tend to be an effect where immigrants, concerned about losing their ethnic identity, become even more attached to the beliefs of their home country than the people living there are.
The handbrake doesn't light up your reverse lights for the dashcam to capture
Neither does park on an automatic, which is the point. If he's standing still but his brake lights are not on, that means he's in park. The only exception is a manual on very flat ground, which could be in neutral and no brakes whatsoever.
I've just had a paper accepted in a journal, and the multiple reviews it went through distinctly improved the quality of the paper. The idea remained the same, but my explanation could have been better, and multiple emails with the reviewer discussing if it was correct helped me improve and refine it. *Maybe* I would have gotten that from an open access database as well, but the added value of a reputable journal is that they can't get away with publishing poor and sloppy work.
Right wing ideas are not the "Immutable Truth" even because this concept is utopic. They are wrong many many times, but they are right at least part of the time. Left wing ideas on the other hand, are all based on lies that come directly from the core of its doctrine and as such are the "Immutable Farce".
Is it a lie that the invisible hand of the market lets some people slip through its fingers into poverty? That's the idea behind social services, such as for instance affordable education. It seems to be working pretty well in Europe, where you get an educated workforce without having to mortgage their futures.
The left has their flaws, but saying all based on lies is pushing it.
Any idea how long you could continue to extract this level of power from the Gulf Stream? Wouldn't the resulting disruption of weather patterns change the stream?
And if your argument is "but Airplay is proprietary!" then try again. Outside of slashdot, very few people in the real world actually care, and are more than willing to pay the couple of dollars per device if require for the functionality.
Well, this is Slashdot and here we do care, so piss off.
If we can't buy something better than AirTunes, we'll fucking build it.
Use the bits as a one-time pad. Rearrange them to build software. If there's patterns, treat them as a black and white light interference pattern and see what kind of images show up. Pipe them to/dev/dsp and take a nap surrounded by pink noise, or maybe even turn them into music (they did it with radioactive decay).
Gold has some innate value in the sense that it can be used directly to build stuff.
Yes, and paper money can be used to do origami, and pennies can be used as floor tiles. It just happens that we currently value gold-based jewelry and electronics more than origami, but I don't assume this will necessarily always be the case.
Anything can be used for something if you're creative enough.
Yes, the links in the summary are poorly placed, but try clicking on them anyway. You'll quickly get the Nature article with renderings, photos and tests of the device.
Definitely not a black box, and the article isn't even that difficult.
In that you made a generalization, and that all generalizations are false by default, yes, you are mistaken. As with most things, it all depends on the parent.
I think we're talking past each other. I'm not saying your dad specifically is unqualified, because that is indeed not something I can judge from a generalization. I am saying that the law should be based on a generalization, specifically the one that parents are often poor judges of children. I'm not making the generalization that parents are poor judges, but taking it as a given and applying it to the general populace.
My point, as is often confirmed by but not exclusively by anecdotes, was that parents are often poor judges of their children's failings. Or am I mistaken in this?
Question is, of course, is the government any better in practice?
P.S. if you're implying that there's something wrong with my father handing his prized deer rifle down to me without giving me a background check, you can go fuck yourself, Chief.
Damn right there's something wrong with it. How often do we hear "never saw it coming" and "can't believe he'd do something like that"? Parents are often blind to their kids' failings.
If you're gonna do background checks at all, it should cover *all* transfers of ownership. No point in doing it half and half, because then the crazies will just use the loopholes.
Another problem with corporate income taxes is that corporations don't pay taxes. Their customers and employees do, in the form of higher prices and reduced salaries respectively. A tax on a corporation is just a hidden flat tax on individuals. Not just a flat tax, either; a flat tax with no deductions, exemptions, credits, refunds, rebates, or any other way to stop it from screwing over the poor.
You know, I keep hearing this, but you could just as easily say exactly the opposite as well: all tax is paid by corporations. Sales tax raises prices, reducing sales and thus a company's revenue, and income tax reduces purchasing power, also reducing sales and revenue, or it reduces the net value of a particular job to a person, cutting in to a company's means of production.
You can really only say that a corporate tax gets passed on to consumers when demand is inelastic, so that a price increase has little effect on sales.
So sorry, be willing to pay for 3x as many teachers/TA's or drop your argument.
Perfectly reasonable. If there are too few adults present to manage the students, there are definitely too few present to teach them, so damn right I'm willing to pay.
If they have to start charging more for tickets to cover the overhead, then they have to charge more for tickets. It is not like it is a cost that will affect one airline but not another.
That's fine as long as no foreign airlines are allowed to fly to US destinations, or as long as these restrictions apply to them as well. Somehow I don't see the latter happening.
But this'll limit US airlines to US destinations, as they won't be able to compete using the same staff and probably can't afford to have parallel staff for foreign destinations.
Not unheard of in Belgium. Instead of buying a house, create a business and buy the house with that. Saves you tax at time of purchase, but capital gains tax is due if you ever sell the house, so the trick is only useful for people who settle down.
I'm more inclined to the posts saying kids should be allowed to get lost - that you shouldn't shelter them too much.
This gives me an idea, however: what if we just forget putting trackers on the kids, but instead put a tracker on the parents and give the kids access. That way the child can learn to find their own way back, and there's no longer a privacy question as now it's the person themselves making a decision about themselves being tracked.
I've actually had this happen to me. Connecting flight, they gave me a new boarding pass at the gate (one with a boarding group number), and I neglected to check that it was the right one. The ticket scanner beeped weirdly when I tried to board but the agent waved me on anyway, and only when I found someone else in my seat did I realize that I had been given someone else's boarding pass, and that person had already boarded.
Not quite as useless as you think. BBC did a bit on it, and although I can't remember if they mentioned college credits, they did have one guy in Eastern Europe who took a machine learning course unavailable in the area, and then took the certificate on job interviews to software companies. He claimed it helped.
It's like MS and Cisco certificates: useful for showing that you've taken a course and demonstrated a certain proficiency.
You can prevent this with a cryptographically secure ping: have the pinger send out a random number, and the pingee respond with the number signed with their private key. Assuming the pingee cannot predict the number beforehand, it can only respond after having received the ping and can therefore not pretend to be closer than it actually is.
Not sure if a pacemaker can handle crypto, however...
Abortion, same sex marriage and drug legalization are minor issues. Military and foreign policy I can see them agreeing on, and are indeed not minor. But what about economics: tricke down, or stimulus? Or the broad swath of social services, including health care, education, welfare, etc...? How about regulation, of individuals and corporations?
If the Greens are anything like the European Greens I know of, they're a somewhat progressive left party, which really does make them polar opposites of the Libertarians on majority issues.

It's not as implausible as it sounds...
Ah damn, seems I read over reverse.
Still think you could argue it for an automatic, however, if your break lights are clearly off. I guess the case would be weaker.

Funny that the economic mobility in the US is worse than much of Western Europe, despite the stability.
I picked up that statistic from the radio, but first few results in a search for "social mobility EU USA" come to a similar conclusion.
Perfectly reasonable. If there are too few adults present to manage the students, there are definitely too few present to teach them, so damn right I'm willing to pay.

I believe it was Washington Dulles, westbound.
Can any of those three offer network transparency for individual programs, rather than a whole desktop? If not, then X11 still wins for how I use it.

Because it's a "quote" taken out of context in such a way as to wind up the partisans.
Looks like a troll to me, although could be flamebait as well.
