So your saying that if these people had been locked in daycare until they were 25, they'd be any more mature? I hate to pull nature vs nurture in, but troubled people generally get their habits from inside the home. Making it more difficult to get away from a bad environment will only make matters worse. Acting on this study would keep young adults from fully attaining independance for a much longer time.
Face it: by 25, you've missed your youth. All that's left is to raise your family, start your career, or resign yourself to obscurity.
Oh great. Another excuse to raise the drinking age. When are the legislatures going to learn that it's experience that matures people. It's not set to some cosmological timer.
Ditto that. Those changes would set in at 15, if the study had included young men and women that were forced to care for themselves at that age. Maturity comes from experience, not some legislated atomically accurate age. For crying out loud, it should be obvious that you can nail people to a measuring stick!
As the other poster replied, you need tactile feedback to accurately use any keyboard layout. It keeps your home position from drifting, and the spaces between the keys let you know when you are hitting them in the center. Now if you could have a surface that not only changed colors and mappings, but also topology; then you would have something.
I agree with your point, and it is good and valid . ..
BUT, to play the devil's advocate . ..
Time has proven that the Department of Homeland Security, the regular milatary, and, heck, even the local police force do NOT appreciate help from citizens when dealing with "the enemy". In their perspective, you are just as much as a loose cannon as any terrorist when you show any interest in working around the official organizations.
In other words, you're unnaccountable to your actions, and therefor may actually be breaking more laws than you're upholding.
That having been said, a visit from the DHS was entirely innapropriate for this single action, and I hope they had other good reasons to put up and investigation.
It's not feasable, because new and replacement computers don't come bundled with that version of the software. Nor is it possible to have it added as an option. So he's stuck with a license base that dwindles as the computers they came on die.
US Natives are spoiled. That's the bottom line. The problem is that people think that a degree makes you worth more as an employee. Anything past an associates degree (or at most bachelors) is completely unnecessary, and only makes you're value artifically inflated. This is proven by the fact that companies are willing to rush the H1B workers through school, and are perfectly happy with their output. The winners will shine with or without masters and phd's.
No this just proves that Windows actually has a negative retail value. For every installation of Windows you distribute, Microsoft with pay YOU the price difference! It's how hardware vendors make money on such low margins.
Therefore, P2P distributors can prove that they are actually OWED money FROM Microsoft in the billions of dollars!
OK, seriously, guys. I hope you don't believe a word of this.
Oh quit being complicated. Pluto and Charon are big enough to be called planets. A binary pair in this case, because they co-orbit a central point. They're no more different from Earth than the gas giants are. We're actually closer in scale to Pluto and Xena than we are to the gas giants.
Since we already classify the rocky planets and the gas giants together, there is absolutely no reason not to combine the third group of large (read gravitationally spherical) objects. For those of you who insist on a degree of perfectness, show it to a kid. If he says it's a round ball, then quit griping about it.
Incedentally, moons should be gravitationally spherical, too. I hate the way scientist are still discovering rocks the size of my house and calling them moons of Jupiter or Saturn. Yes, this would reclassify Phobos and Diemos to mere satellites. Alternatively, a moon could be an object that doesn't look like a star from the surface of the host planet. Kinda hard to nail that down for the gas giants, though.
Just out of curiousity, someone up the thread mentioned moons with moons of their own. Can you post a reference on that?
Wikipedia, while a good general overview, is not supposed to be used for direct referencial evidence, because the information there-in is subject to the next editor's opinion. Try another source.
you're talking about mapping the activity of an olympic sized swimming full chock-full of kindergardeners from the observations of a bobbing cork. There is way too much affecting it to factor out the individual stimuli.

If I recall, they lasted just long enough to say they touched Venesian dirt, as opposed to 2 years running on Mars.
The rest of the world was left with spammers and IT support staff. Sadly the crew of NakedNews was among the overclockers.
If they don't get one out soon, I'll just buy the Chinese knock-off. It really looks good.
It's just that they take so long to actually hit. I like Frozen Orb much better. Wait, are we talking about the moon, anymore?

Give it time. Eventually one of the casualties of pioneering will be an artificially inserted orbiting body. {/morbid humer}
Duh, its a binary planet system.
Come to Arkansas. Over half our homes have wheels. Yeeeeeha!

If it were possible, do you think we'd still be using telescopes to find new planets?

No, because the "Dark Matter" effect is seen EVERYWHERE, not just where these new quasars are being found.
It's worse than that--it's physics, Jim!
Using electricity directly would fun for those S&M sessions. I mean some people get hot from that . . .
They've already got the firing papers signed. They're just looking for a name to put at the top.
They're just rushing to get rid of the things without properly preparing them. Kinda like this attempt at a firt post!
That would be you bragging to your 3 friends, your wife's 4, and the neighbor's kid?
