A human doesn't need to read/decide. You just need to program your algorithm to look for "no taper" (or some combination of words to that effect) in the text that's coming in.
That comparison's more than a bit disingenuous. From the link:
Chuwanga Gyang said he heard a gunshot early Sunday. He said he left his house through the back door but stopped when he realized that the attackers were shooting to herd fleeing villagers toward another group of attackers carrying machetes.
You're comparing Sandy Hook (one individual, primarily one weapon) to Dogo Nahawa (a group using machetes for killing, but wielding both guns and machetes).
Then around version 8, they'll force 'features' down your throat that you don't want.
"You got rid of the touch screen?"
"Yup, now it's all eye gestures! Cameras on either side record and extrapolate, figuring out what you're looking at. Simply blink your left eye to left click, your right eye to right click and both of them to go back to the new and improved desktop replacement, the home tesseract!"
He personally may not think that is an essential feature, but it was certainly a selling point of the iMac. Quick connectivity served as a proxy and reinforcement of their key selling point: a simple, aesthetically pleasing and efficient machine. "Look at it, it just works. Even getting on the internet for the first time only takes a couple of minutes. How long did it take the last time you tried to do that with a PCR?"
The/. crowd may not think that's a significant selling point, but for average consumers in the AOL era? That was an interesting thought and an effective marketing technique.
I don't have access (I miss being able to read every paper I wanted when I was in college...), but that's not necessarily true. Multiplex qPCR (TaqMan, not SYBR) can use a number of different probes with a number of different, uniquely fluorescing fluorophores. Depending on how their method works, you may be able to adapt the protocol to accommodate these additional options. You're still looking at a small number of probes (probably ~5 before the peak overlap becomes too significant), but it's not necessarily "1".
Honestly, though, I'd flip the protocol from how it's laid out in the press release since false negatives could be deadly if you're looking at resistance mutations. Put in three non-WT versions, assay lights up if it's mutant. If you don't care about which mutation, they can share the same fluorophore. Or three non-WT and one WT with a different fluorophore so you always get a positive if the assay went correctly and a negative if there's an unexpected mutation in a different region of the sequence.
Some jumping could theoretically occur on the arm that's holding up the funnel, but the position of the C-clamp on a lab stand itself shifted up slightly (some separation forms between the tar pitch c-clamp and the other arm that's steading the lab stand). That's not going to happen without human intervention.
From when the jump occurred, it appears that they lifted the clamp slightly to allow space for the next drop.
That Scalia dissented means he's not looking at the right parts of the Constitution but is just being selective.
The day after SCotUS overruled the Voting Rights Act, Scalia complained that overturning DOMA "is an assertion of judicial supremacy over the people's Representatives in Congress and the Executive". I think you're being kind when you only label his arguments "selective".
There's still five months before the consoles' release. One segment of the market (non-gaming parents who will be giving consoles for birthdays/Christmas) has no idea any of this is going on and they wouldn't understand it regardless. As for the rest, I don't really trust the gaming community to be able to sustain this level of vitriol and/or fanboism for that long.
All Microsoft needs to do is ditch everything they said at E3 and start over. Not fixing the problems, but presenting the situation properly. It'll still be terrible, but at least some of the insane restrictions will make some logical sense with regards to what they're trying to do.
That grocery store was fully stocked. It was odd that they ran out of one particular item. Now, however, it makes perfect sense! Twinkies were discontinued, then zombies showed up, and now Tallahassee can't find any.
The polling threshold is set at 15%, which would have excluded all third-party candidates for the last hundred years.
Not quite true. Teddy Roosevelt in '12 (27.4%), La Follette in '24 (16.6%), Wallace in '68 (13.5% of the final vote, but was polling higher than that), Anderson in '80 (6.6%; was polling closer to 20% at the time of the debates) and Perot in '92 (18.9%).
My socially awkward and geeky personality led to pretty much every pre-med I met in college trying to diagnose me with autism. One of the diagnosis criteria that I remember them mentioning was food acceptance or preference issues (eating the same thing all the time, refusing to try new things, etc.). It's since been removed from the diagnostic criteria (it's not nearly selective enough), but it still occurs in a significant majority of cases. I'm curious if there could be a link here.
The mice in the study were treated with a diet high in branched chain amino acids. According to livestrong, those foods are... well, I'd generally call those "kids food": red meat, chicken, nuts and cheese. I wonder if food acceptance issues in autism have a biological underpinning and kids are, essentially, trying to self-medicate with chicken fingers.

News International's share price has dropped 6%, which whilst isn't a fine, but will certainly hammer the profits of the organisation as a whole.
News Corp closed at ~15 yesterday. At the end of January, it was ~15. So, while they lost some of the gains for this year (to be expected with the scuttling of the BSkyB deal and NotW), they're not exactly going to be hard up on cash.

Machetes work very well too.

"Pffft. You just don't understand gaming technology."
Wolfram's coming up with 295.4 million root Manhattans per dog year.
It's called jihad.
When an entire religion blah blah blah
Among the major flaws in your argument:
He then asked, “What is your religion?”
"I’m Hindu."
He's not Muslim. He just looked like he conceivably might be due to his skin color and his decision to skip breakfast before going to the airport.

It's proxies all the way down.
The men on the front page of the Post today?
CBS News reported that the FBI sources said it wasn't them (they're not white, 6'2", wearing the right clothes or... well, anything like the suspect).
Secondly it had storage space, lots and lots and lots of storage space.
I have it on very good authority that the iPod had less space than a Nomad.
Easy: The deranged lunatic took out the batteries. Sorry, Would-Be Citizen Hero And Families Of All Those Dead Kids, our bad.
Or he has a knife or is lobbing home made pipe bombs or spoofed the GPS signal so it thinks it's at a firing range or he stole a cop's gun...
Radiation for all!
Boooo!
Very well, no radiation for anyone!
Boooo!
Hmm... Radiation for some, miniature American flags for others!
Yaaaay!
Out of curiosity, is there a list of games that are expected to be released on Linux? Is it everything that says "SteamPlay" or some subset therein?

That's why I got Old Glory Insurance.
Great idea - Except I'd add "VIOLATORS WILL BE PROSECUTED" and "THIS AREA UNDER VIDEO SURVEILLANCE"
Also, "DANGER: LANDMINES".

The TSA has an $8.1 annual billion budget and has yet to have a single success.
The TSA actually has a new section dedicated to their successes at http://www.tsa.gov/press/goodcatch/
There are currently three stories: on March 30th they found some pot in a jar of peanut butter, on April 15th they found what appears to be a really tiny knife (or a normal knife in a gigantic DVD player) and on May 5th they found a knife in a shoe (knife not shown).
So, they have had some successes, but these are small, meaningless victories (and, in the first case, completely unrelated to safety).
