Males as a group are not evolving at a more rapid pace. Only one particular chromosome is evolving rapidly in males. All our other chromosomes are shared with females.
One chromosome is evolving more rapidly in males. The other 45 are evolving the same. Which provides support for the assertion that males are evolving more rapidly.
And exactly what traits are evolving so rapidly on that one chromosome is a mystery to me. As far as I know, the only actual gene that has been identified on the Y chromosome is the gene for hair in your ears.
No, there's more than that. Significantly, SRY, which starts the whole "this zygote is male" cascade.
I'm pretty sure SysRq is a left over from the terminal days, though I don't recall which terminal (the VT100 doesn't have it). It was basically the equivalent of CTRL-ALT-DEL.
Ahh, Wiki to the rescue; it was from the IBM 3270.
Perhaps if parents took the time to PARENT, got their kids off the venti mocha-latte-quad-shot-whipped-lookatmeI'msocool drinks, made them put down the cell phones and television, and taught them how to live like real actual people in the real actual world, this wouldn't be an issue.
If you'd examine the real world (beyond your pristine lawn) a bit more carefully, you'd notice that the real world is full of cell phones, television, and 20-oz coffee drinks. So taking the kids away from them does not get them in touch with the real world; quite the opposite.
I don't know about sawdust, but whenever I'd complain, my mother would point out that at least I'm not eating Crisco sandwiches.
The secret to a Crisco sandwich is to use a crunchy and vaguely-chocolate-flavored wafer instead of bread, and to add a lot of sugar to the Crisco. Then people eat 'em by the millions.
I'm my experience, most children on ADHD medication don't need the medication, they are acting out for other reasons that the parent don't want to deal with.
Or, as the caption of a cartoon I once saw read, "No, he doesn't have A-D-D. He has B-O-Y."
And keep in mind that university in the USA is far more structured than in other countries. You have far more supervised tutorial time and it's a lot more like high school. Elsewhere, lectures attendance is not enforced, you're expected to be able to motivate yourself to turn up, and if you don't then you either learn by yourself or you fail. They're places where you can acquire an education, not places where lecturers try to spoon feed you with one.
Eh? I went to a large state university and lecture attendance was not required nor was there much tutorial time. IIRC the only class where attendance mattered were the discussion sessions for a philosophy class, which makes some sense because you were supposed to be learning how to discuss...
Reboot,' in Hollywood-speak, means "Forget cannon. Forget the comics. Forget everything. Get a focus group of our target demographic and ask them what they want.
Which, in this case, is Zachary Quinto (Sylar) as the Green Goblin. You heard it here first.
Further analysis of the documents finds some improperly-redacted material indicating that the test mode can in fact be entered with a sequence on the control panel, to wit "UP UP DOWN DOWN LEFT RIGHT LEFT RIGHT B A START".
I liked Zork, but I hate the "twisty little passages". It practically ruins the game. It, as anyone who managed to finish the game knows, creates "difficulty" by having some places warp you to other places without any indication that it's doing so.
There's no warping. It's viciously difficult because the place descriptions are identical and the object -dropping strategy is limited by your inventory and by the thief moving things around, but it's deterministic and only movement commands actually move you. The maze can be mapped, it's just quite tedious.
Unless you actually have nothing to hide... I know, unlikely in a large organization, but if you really do run a clean ship, they've got nothing unless they lie, and if you catch them in a lie, treble damages for all expenses incurred should be an easy win.
Nope. Even if you're 100% legal, BSA just makes stuff up. Remember, they don't consider possession of the original media (even at a 1:1 ratio of media to installations) as sufficient to indicate that a copy is legal. Nor do the little hologram stickers for Windows mean anything. No; they want the original purchase receipt, with the same company name and address and everything. (if your company bought another company... sorry bud, BSA won't consider the copies acquired from the company you bought to be legal, receipt or no)
Of course, black letter copyright law does not back them up at all on this. But they've got that $150,000 nuclear option if you lose in court, so, you feel lucky, punk?
If they don't have a court order, don't let them see anything, touch anything, install anything, connect anything. Don't answer any questions. The only information you should give them is your attorney's phone number.
BSA gets a court order. They may have lied and misrepresented the law and the facts to do so, but lying in court is only illegal if you don't have the ring of Authority about you.
How it really works? Imagine that you already identified several suspects. If you take DNA samples of these few people and one of them matches the DNA from the hair from the scene, you can still conclude that given your knowledge, with a very high probability the person in question was present at the crime scene.
OK, we took DNA samples of the people. One of them had their DNA all over the scene; on the body, on the murder weapon, etc. No match for the others. Open and shut case, right?
But wait, that person had an airtight alibi; he was half a world away in a public place with many witnesses.
How? Yeah, he was there; he lived at the crime scene. His DNA was all over the place and the murder weapon was one of his knives. But he wasn't there at the time of the crime, which the DNA doesn't tell you.
I don't know how it works in the real world. But I do know on those "true crime" shows I often hear prosecutors using that exact sort of reasoning when a man is accused of killing a woman he lived with -- "His DNA is there, therefore he must be guilty" -- as if the DNA is magic and knows only to shed when a crime is taking place.
Most Universities will have a an old timer system admin and students that run the Hell desk, they are given Admin privileges to the computers but not the system.
At my university, pretty much all the lab-dwelling geeks had root on everything they wanted... one way or another.
An excellent developer has a work ethic that would mesh nicely with an excellent sysadmin.
It's not the work ethic. It's temperment, the whole attitude towards things. As a developer, I'm very uncomfortable working on production systems, because there's a lot of walking-on-eggshells. If something goes wrong in the dev or QA environments, I can do a lot of "OK, try this... try this... try this", and if one of those things brings the environment down in flames, such is life. When I find the right combination it can be restored to the original broken state, then I can re-apply the thing I think worked, and if that works, I can then hand that off to ops to put on the production system with some confidence that it will work.
If a production environment has some problem which has to be corrected "live", though, that's a very BAD way to try to fix it, for obvious reasons. Instead, a lot more passive analysis has to be done before trying anything, and more important than "will this fix the problem" is "will this bring the system down (worse than it is) or worse, destroy customer data". And since when a developer is called in to help with production there's probably a major problem, the developer usually has to deal with the ops folks and management breathing down his neck as well.
the arqueological excavation have revelead a few hundred sacrifices, far from the thousands claimed...
by comparition, in Auswtiz with their four gass chambers wrking 24 a day, they could execute about 4,000 prisioners a day...
Great. So you're saying that compared with the Nazis, the Aztecs were no mass murderers. Sort of a Godwin version of "damning with faint praise" if you ask me.
That also applies here in the US as well ... although some people have been able to argue pure ignorance and get away with it.
What law, precisely, provides for criminal liability to the operator of a wireless access point which is used by someone else (without the consent or knowledge of the operator) for illegal activity?
Last I saw, the GPU based processors had a serious problem when using for cryptanalysis; there was no fast parallel inverse calculation method. However, I was looking at elliptic curve encryption; I don't know if factoring requires inverse calculation.
The latch on the water tank? One uses a hinged cover, the other uses a retainer which could be a rotating latch, a hasp, or a sliding latch. Only claim 7 even mentioned the retainer, and it's broad enough to cover a hinged cover.

Besides, GPS with S/A is accurate to 100m, still better than the figures given for LORAN-C.

I think General Dynamics might have a prior claim on that.

That's INCOMPETENT pantie bombers from Africa. If he'd actually managed to take out Detroit, there would arguably have been some benefit.
Ancedotal observation suggests otherwise.
If you pay the penalty regardless, you may as well do the crime.
