Number of players over 300 lbs:
In 1970 - 1
In 1980 - 3
In 1990 - 94
In 2000 - 301
In 2009 - 394
See a trend here? It's also creating health issues for active players and retired players, and is causing a shorter lifespan. This isn't your grandfather's game of fast players with leather helmets and no padding. This is a game of fat men in hard plastic armor doing a lot of blocking.
It's simple physics. F = m * a. It's a lot easier for a players to increase their weight by 50%, than it is for them to increase their speed by 50%.
Regardless of a high brain injury risk, such sports will still be attractive because:
It's a chance for poorer students to get to college.
It's a highly publicized sport, with a large fan base.
Every player you see on the NFL field is a millionaire, and is semi-famous.
The other country has a dictator you despise? Don't mess there, it isn't your problem. It has a dictator you like who's going to be overthrown? Don't mess there, it isn't your problem. There are troops marching into your borders. Oh, now you go and mess there.
How hard can that be?
I'm all for letting countries stay to themselves, but why does a dictator need to step on your lawn before he gets a response? Didn't most of Europe take that stance during WWII?
Germany annexed Austria, violating the Treaty of Versailles and St. Germain... no response.
Germany invaded Czechoslovakia... no response.
Italy conquered Albania... no response.
Germany attacked Poland... finally a response! (and 6 years of world war)
Senator Thomas J. Dodd Memorial Stadium is a minor league baseball stadium in Connecticut. It was named after a Senator who was censured in 1967 for converting campaign funds to his personal accounts and spending the money.
That's Christopher Dodd's father. And the memorial stadium was built in 1995 during Chris Dodd's tenure as a Senator. Senator Chris Dodd has had his share of scandals too.
Something about apples not falling too far from the tree comes to mind.
The best night sky I've seen is in the midddle of the Mediterranian on a US Navy ship, during "wartime steaming" status. All running lights are out, and all exits to the ourside are double-doored with red lights between. There were so many stars visible that it looked fake.

We believe that the benchmarks used in Kraken are better in terms of reflecting realistic workloads
Or just better in terms of reflecting where their product is strongest?
Isn't it just a little bit suspicious when the browser people release a benchmark that scores their own browser as the fastest? Intel's benchmark in 2002 was known to have emphasized performance traits specific to Intel chips.

It's right after my flying car becomes available.
if his heirs were to put that ugly-ass, unseaworthy monstrosity up for sale, something tells me it would fetch a lot less.
Just call it an iYacht and you'll have people camping on the street for days to buy one.
The weight of NFL players has been increasing steadily.

But that's not even enough money to cover the RIAA damages for the first two songs he pirated!
Maybe we can import pilots on H1-B Visas like the IT industry?
(free shipping by the airlines?)
"it could be as simple as he sees the role of Director as one that should lead by example, in some way embodying the integrity of the organisation."
When the hell has integrity ever mattered in politics????
I've paid attention to what they've said and, in theory, that should be the same what they do.
If you compare what they've actually said, Obama and Romney look shockingly the same on MANY issues:
Romney Vs Obama - Same Issues, Same Answers!
So why would we expect progress? ...
Meet the new boss - same as the old boss
Meet the new boss ... same as the old boss ...)
(lather, rinse, repeat
THIS is why we need to endorse a third party, and break the Republican/Democrat chain that has gone on since 1868... just after Abraham Lincoln.
Screw them BOTH, and vote Independent.

Germany invaded Czechoslovakia

A two-phase art competition?
>> the first phase will be about adding ...
... using
>> the second phase
I'm seeing way too many similarities for comfort.

It's a FACT ... A lot of underage crack goes into Girl Scout cookies.
Reading is key to spelling. Read, read, read, read. Read 6 or 7 books a week. Reading Slashdot doesn't count.
If it's 7 books a week ... and each contained 300 pages ... at a rate of 1 page/minute
... that's an average of 5 hours of book reading each day.
That's more sleep than some IT people get!
One solution to helping friend/roommates/relatives is to give them a detailed bill charging normal market rates.
Then zero out the total with a "courtesy" discount.
This serves several purposes:
It provides them, and you, a detailed record of what was done.
It lets them know that your time is worth money.
Maybe... But last I saw, Ford Motor Company wasn't liable for drunk drivers that use their vehicles to drink and drive
Maybe ... But there have been strong attempts to make gun manufacturers liable for the misuse of their products.
Also, as robots become more commonplace in our homes, the "Think of the children!" rally cry could be misused here too.
Those who would give up their Private Data to purchase a little Temporary Convenience ...
Won't someone please .... think of the children!
You touch on the two most important ...
Yes. Yes, they did.
"the TSA files"
Oh ... the text may only be 7 pages but ...
It's a really large picture book.
With a pop-up section.
Exposes more than, say, a very simple app (game?) that requires Full Network Access, Fine Grained Location, and access to your System Settings?
The biggest threat to personal information leaking on an Android phone are overly permissive apps, and the people who install them.
Wasn't SOX (also know as the 'Corporate and Auditing Accountability and Responsibility Act') supposed to prevent such financial accounting fraud?
Sarbanes–Oxley Section 802: Criminal penalties for violation of SOX
Whoever knowingly alters, destroys, mutilates, conceals, covers up, falsifies, or makes a false entry in any record, document, or tangible object with the intent to impede, obstruct, or influence the investigation or proper administration of any matter within the jurisdiction of any department or agency of the United States or any case filed under title 11, or in relation to or contemplation of any such matter or case, shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both.

Annual Disaster Recovery testing should have discovered the deficiency.
