If it's such a minor thing, why don't your people with advanced degrees "read the fucking graph generated by someone else."
She's just as legit as the people who work at the observatory. I doubt any of them *built* the telescope. Maybe one or two of them wrote the software to analyze the data, or they grabbed a standard package.
I donated all my paperbacks to a local library when I got my Kindle. They had me drop them off in a room with all the other donated books. The books were not waiting to be included in the catalog, they were all being sold.
There were more donated books in that room than there were in the rest of the Library.
Transformers 2 was boring. But I didn't expect much after Transformers 1.
What I expected from Episode I was a plot, interesting characters, and all the stuff that made the previous 3 movies so good. It had *none* of that.
Why wouldn't you be pissed? He demonstrated that he could make a good movie in the past, and now has a lifetime of experience and an incredible budget.
The result, Episode I. So either he's been secretly incompetent all these years. Or that he purposefully made a crappy movie. I'm sure it's the latter. And to prove it I have to say one word. Midiclorians.
Yeah. They did have one advantage I didn't however. Around the time I was getting into college, it was still unquestionable that a college degree led to a better life.
Within the past 5 years I've been seeing articles questioning if a college degree is worth it for the debt it puts you in. And the statistics are showing more men are saying "No. Not really."

Switch to SSDs.
Why are they countless?
Why?
Imagine if all government Debt were paid off tomorrow. Poof. Do you really think that would solve the problem?
The problem being, The federal government blowing money because they know they won't be responsible when the bill comes due.

Why would you wander the streets at all?
You would either leave. Or start fixing things yourself. Digging a well. Finding someone in the community with solar and a water pump.
These kinds of disasters are only made worse when the populace have been mentally castrated to depend on the government and aid organisations.
What would *you* do if an earthquake destroyed your home and any survival equipment/supplies you put in it?

"Welcome to the age of the push-button assassination."
It's been like that for decades. They're called remote controlled bombs.
And I don't see why you're saying that distancing humans from killing is bad. The ability to shut down your emotions and kill is built into people.
The killing machines have always been here. Just made from organics instead of plastics.
Really? I enjoyed Mass Effect quite a bit. I've just pre-ordered Mass Effect II
A huh. So the TSA is the real terrorists. And the guys who blow up planes are the fake ones?
I had read that around the time Man domesticated dogs, the size of their brains changed.
The theory being that since we always had dogs with us, we didn't need large parts of the brain dedicated to smell anymore.
For 200$ you can buy a nettop that comes with XP pre-installed.
Finding good authors and hooking them up with good editors is not an easy job.
The Kindle and the Amazon web site are the only things Amazon has ever produced. Everything else, they're just a middle man.
You can simulate all those things on a Kindle by deleting the e-book.
Seriously, loaning a book to a friend? Wave goodbye to that one.
I ran the numbers on the growth rate of a puppy. In 100 years it will be too large for the solar system and will destroy it.
If you've gotten this far without being proud, I seriously doubt you'll change next year.
In fact, I'm willing to say "Prepare to spend the rest of your life feeling miserable unless you take steps to change."
Feh. The last time I flew they asked me to "Turn off my Kindle for landing."
I blinked and went "But...there is no off switch. You *can't* turn it off."
They were happy with the compromise that I stop looking directly at the Kindle while they landed. sigh.
If it works, why not? Are you going to claim some kind of Bacon allergy?
Surely people on Slashdot won't dismiss a functional idea because it makes you laugh?
Have you noticed a pattern to most Terrorism attempts? They tend to fail.
The plot that hit the USS Cole started with a boat so loaded with explosives that it sank before it reached an American warship.
This is why I refuse to let go of my clay tablet collection.
There's nothing out there today that can replace a good clay tablet, and I'm not switching until they do.
Have you ever had to move 8 moving boxes filled with paperbacks, and pay for the privilege every time you moved? That was my tipping point.
The ability to easily move your collection and to shop for new books without finding a bookstore are the best parts for me.
Those were the best jobs I've had. Where I wasn't even hired to help out in that way, but then I walk around and see what people do and then I wince.
And then I help them knock out 90% of the stupid out of their job. Great feeling. Can't really get that kind of job directly though.

You should research more. Perhaps talk to someone who fled from a country where those ideas merely "Failed".
2+2=6
Math is just the language describing the universe. You can say whatever you want, but that doesn't make it true.
"I seriously pity the kids graduating right now."
Yeah. They did have one advantage I didn't however. Around the time I was getting into college, it was still unquestionable that a college degree led to a better life.
