No matter how you slice(ha!) it, creating meat consumes more food than it provides. Something like a ratio of 20:1 in the case of beef, not to mention all the greenhouse gases emitted by raising animals for slaughter.
True, but I can't eat twenty times the grass and obtain the same nutrition. Come to think of it, i also can't eat 400 times the soil and survive.
To compare items numerically, they should be qualitatively similar.
Will your car survive rolling the odometer? If so, 2012 is a safe year, considering it's just rolling the odometer of the Mayan calendar.
At least you didn't grow up with Christian nutters who thought the world would end in 2000. Oh wait, they stopped saying that back in the late 1980's because they didn't want people to remember them as frauds.
And the really stupid thing is that there will be tons of "sceptics" that have no fucking clue about science that will eat up their claims just because they are "anti-established science". Wankers.
You can only estimate the number of times I've wished that anti-established science wankers could be sent to an environment where they didn't reap the benefits of established science. Established science has self-correcting methods such that even if some understanding was incredibly wrong, it eventually drifts into correctness. That's how we replace the Earth at the center of the Solar System with the Sun, and how we replace Eculid's elements with Atoms.
Appropriate management speak rules dictate that you cannot call it an opportunity until you correct someone else who calls it a challenge. So in a sense, you are both right..... Synergy!
Jensen was found guilty of first-degree homicide in 2008 based on this and other incriminating evidence, including a letter written by his wife before her death. He appealed the conviction, arguing for one that the warrantless police search of his computer violated his Fourth Amendment rights. The Wisconsin Court of Appeals did not agree as he had signed a consent form.
Once you give permission to a search, you don't get to retroactively revoke permission once they find evidence against you. It would be a completely different matter if they just barged in without his permission or a warrant. That would be unconstitutional; this however, is just stupidity on his part.
The only way I could see that this is grounds for an appeal is if he signed the consent form without being informed of his rights. He didn't have to understand his rights, but if he was never informed of them, then he might have a Miranda-type coercion case.
While I agree that on the basis of a search history, one should not be convicted or even investigated; that's reversing what happened here.
They found ethylene glycol in the victim's blood and then looked at their primary suspect to see if he searched for information which might provide a means or a motive.
You should be fine with your search history up until the point you attempt to RULE THE WORLD!
Well, in my experience it goes like this: You're looking to refactor the code because the code already is quirky. Some 99% of the time, that's just because it's sloppy coding, poor structure and logic or it is simply undefined or irrelevant, the corner cases are never reached, the function is always called with data of the correct format and so on. Then in 1% of the cases, the application depends on this quirky behavior and all in all works correctly - or at least works - until you clean the code. If you have to assume that everything that is there should be there, you end up with code almost as bad as what you started with. This is the problem trying to reverse engineer the intended behavior from existing code.
1%? I think even if the code is buggy, it's quite likely that the code now depends on those bugs in various ways.
In any case, the right way to refactor is to make sure you've got proper tests for the code you're going to refactor. That way, after refactoring, you can check whether the functionality is still unchanged.
So yeah, the submitter has a problem. What he really needs from a code-quality point of few is pretty big and expensive. If there's no money for it, but there is money for continuing as before, then I guess that's the only option here.
When that happens, you refactor out the bugs by formalizing the dependencies between the bugs and the code that depends on them. Then you migrate the two sets of odd behaving code together, and you let the oddities disappear as they annihilate themselves in a sort of positive cancels negative, yin / yang solution.
Time consuming, yes. But typically the results well worth it.
You can't force people to not cooperate, especially when it's in the best interests of the cooperators. At best you can create enough groups that the cooperation of any group's members isn't nearly enough to hit a 50% majority. I'd be happy with the largest group swaying 10% of the vote, but that's a pipe dream in our current system.
You don't "need" any such thing. Just decide how many districts you intend to have, and then assign people at random to one of the districts. It isn't like it can't be done, and there's no statute beyond tradition which forces all the people of a district to be living on the same contiguous piece of land.
Heck, with gerrymandering, it's almost hard to really call the districts contiguous pieces of land. Letter of the law, I guess.
All right... all right... but apart from better sanitation and medicine and education and irrigation and public health and roads and a freshwater system and baths and public order... what have the Romans ever done for us?
Your liberty is self-evident until someone stops by your island and makes you a slave.
Rights are only the amassed opinions and morays of the populace. The fact that the Declaration of Independence specified that they felt those rights were self-evident meant that others were being accused of not holding the same opinions or morays.
In the last decade, the culture of fear has changed public opinion. We generally do not believe we need certain rights which were previously considered unquestionable. What confuses me is that now we are talking about people not needing the right to be treated for disease. Excuse me, but we're all still animals, and most diseases are communicable. I'll gladly pay a tax to make sure you get your immunizations, treat your pneumonia, etc. I'll even pay a limited amount to cure you non-communicable diseases; because, perhaps it's better to live in a society where a few thousand upfront prevents the need for six figures of educational training for a replacement.
It's time to smarten up America. Too much TV has rotted your brain.
Extruders rely on materials which are quite deformable (typically with the application of heat or pressure).
Mills prefer materials which are not deformable, as it would suck to have the material melt around a cutting spindle which is applying heat and pressure to get a bite on the blade. Certainly, it's not applying tons of heat and pressure, but it has to apply some pressure, and with a fast spinning cutting head that means heat.
This is the cheapest path for a CNC and 3d printer in every home.
I have done quite a bit of research on it and it's competitors (Zen Toolworks CNC, Mantis CNC, Makerbot, Cupcake CNC) and none lead to a completed kit for this low of a price without serious time investment, trial and error, and knowledge.
Do you need a CNC and 3d printer in every home? Most homes don't even have a table saw, so how do you expect them to use such devices safely?
The only problem with letting our plants take care of CO2 (as they would naturally do) is that we're cutting them down faster than they grow. The biggest CO2 eaters are the very large established trees. Trees do not gain most of their materials from the ground, over 90% of a tree is comprised of carbon captured from CO2. However, every year our forests diminish because wood is such an easy crop for the picking.
Marshlands also consume a lot of CO2, except that they are so easy to fill in and convert to residential suburbs. Over 90% of the population lives under ten miles to a major body of water, so marshlands are becoming endangered, as they tend to be attached to major bodies of water.
Plastics are quite different. We specifically engineer our plastic to not be degradable, as the degradable plastics don't last very long. Casin is still available, but who wants a plastic which will start to degrade minutes after it was manufactured?
I've never seen the inside of a Jury, but I've been in the selection process. The selection process seems to be heavily weighted to select people who are eager to convict. If they seem that way prior to hearing the case, odds are good they don't feel they need to listen to the case.
Having a family member who obtained a felony years before 20, and "paid their debt" by 25; I can assure you that there is no statute of limitations on punishing felons.
It must be put on every job application. It bars you from entering certain jobs where the application must be deemed trustworthy; like X-ray technician, McDonald's food worker, etc. It's the new underclass.
The media is strangely against Assange. He stands for everything the media is supposed to stand for. So not only has the media forgotten itself, it seems to actually combat its own principles.
People get pissed off if you show the world they suck at doing their job, and it's not that hard to do it right. I mean, here's one guy who started a corporation that's outshining all of the newspapers and television stations without big corporate backing, and he's managed to do so in only a few short years.
I was a medic once upon a time... Have you ever heard of testicular torsion? There are fates worse than death, and in extreme cases they might kill you too!

Wait, I am just brainstorming here... Do you think they can knock off Kobe beef? There might be an angle to this.
Considering their abstract discussing the proper balance of beer and massage for the research staff, Kobe beef must be on their mind.

I see your dragging, beating, tarring, feather, beaten, draw and quartering, and raise you grinding, flavoring, and packing into casing.
Of course not. Doing useful things like adding Unicode support is apparently less important than adding more Web 2.0 junk to the site.
Eventually they will discover that Unicode is part of "Web 2.0". It's even supported in URLs now!

If you posted on the reprap forums very likely you could find someone in your area with the means to print objects in 3D.
And you could also probably find someone who would be willing to build the rest of your car out of Lego.
Reprap is cool, but it is far from a quality production part.
Wooden sledge hammer. When finesse fails, brute force.
