Universities aren't for teaching undergrads. They're for doing research and giving undergrads a chance to learn as part of that process. If you're an undergrad who doesn't intend to go to grad school and you want to be spoon fed, find a college with a good university transfer agreement.
Not that a good professor shouldn't be able to teach, but the primary function of a university is not to pour knowledge into undergraduate heads.
It sounds like they're counting more than just papers. "Research output" sounds like it includes abstracts as well. Any non-tenured prof would probably get the sack if his 5 year review came up and he'd published so little.
Don't believe everything you read in a summary. They found a loose cable that could have caused the delay. They're checking now. Despite the slashdot headline and summary, nothing has been confirmed.
Try this one. Facebook ads an opt-outable setting that says you want them to find people you might know who are also on Facebook. You don't opt out, or even explicitly opt in. Facebook then uses a zero day exploit to install a key logger on your computer to grab your email password and look through addresses you correspond with. No big deal right? You opted in.
Clicking a button on G+ is not permission for Google to hack around privacy settings in my browser, or any other security measures they find inconvenient. Maybe I don't want to be tracked in that way, or tracked in that browser, or on that computer. If my browser settings are incompatible with the needs of their program I opted into, they need to ask me to change those browser settings.
And no, your conspiracy theories about Apple aren't relevant.
Some of the space elevator plans suggest building a low capacity tether then using it to hoist additional tethers. Once you get enough you can start lifting heavy things like people.
I saw one proposal that calculated you could do it with only three shuttle-equivalent launches. Expensive, but not unreasonably so. Especially when you consider that you would first come to dominate the construction and sporting equipment industries with your revolutionary nanotube or graphine technology.
IE blocks certain cookies if a site doesn't publish a privacy policy in a certain format. Google discovers that if they make a fake privacy policy, IE is too stupid to check if it's real or not. That's not cool, regardless of what the user told G+. If Facebook pulled that they'd be raked over the coals.
The thing with safari was even worse. Google had a whole invisible iframe, just for safari users, to bypass their browser cookie preferences.
If it's a browser default and google wants someone to opt in then they need to walk the user through changing the setting, not simply assume they want to be tracked however google likes and hack around the block.
If you're building new drives to experiment with, you're a scientist. If you're following established principles to build a drive then you're an engineer.
The distinction isn't nearly as clear as you imply, and isn't based on your criteria.
I have degrees in oth science and engineering. Normally I do science with a bit of engineering, figuring out how to do new things. Sometimes I do engineering with a smattering of science figuring out how to do those new things out in the field.
Right. They exploited a bug in Internet Explorer so they could track users against their wishes. On is own maybe more naughty than evil, but following on their very purposeful and sneaky bypassing of anti-tracking measures in Safari, it's just a continuation of a pattern of sneaky disregard for users' wishes.
Don't be evil had to go out the window the second Google became an advertising company. If you didn't realize before, it should have become obvious when they bought doubleclick, the evilest company on the web.
Now you just need the massive amounts of energy and he unobtamium to store it and gift it to your rock. And hope the other guy doesn't see all this happening and take a step to the left.
You do get slightly better steering on ice if you're in neutral. Automatics have a stop so you can just slam the shifter into neutral and it will stop before it goes into reverse. Learning to drive up north we were taught how to clutch a standard AND shift an automatic in a skid situation.
4x4 it is not. Not that, contrary to the expectations of that SUV driver in the ditch, 4x4 does anything for you when you're skidding anyway.
No no no! First, all automatics have control over the gear you're actually in. Some newer ones make shifting easy.
Never, ever use engine braking on ice. It does cause skidding. Obviously, the road doesn't care why your wheels are resisting turning. If you do it in a standard maybe you have the reflexes to hit the clutch again, maybe not. If you do it in an automatic, you're probably screwed, because almost nobody has automatic reflexes for up shifting.
If you start a skid with the brakes, if you don't have ABS, you just ease off on the brake pedal.
They probably do know HOW to drive (more likely than an automatic) but just choose not to do it.
I know people who drive standard who are terrible at rolling right up behind people at lights because they don't want to have to put the clutch in unless absolutely necessary.
My point was that "[it's] naturally occurring in lots of plants" is completely irrelevant to how safe or beneficial something is. Caffeine is toxic to humans, we just don't normally approach potentially fatal doses. Theobromine, the caffeine relative in chocolate, is also toxic. Caffeine, for example, is about 1/3 as toxic as antifreeze, and about half as toxic as the organophosphate pesticide diazinon.
It's tough to kill yourself drinking coffee, but you certainly can with more concentrated caffeine sources (and people have). People have also died from eating too much chocolate.
Not that drinking coffee in moderation is necessarily bad for you (I drink it), but the "it's natural!" thing is annoying. You're drinking pesticide.
They should be. I had some idiot looking for someone else (a woman) for about six months. Apparently they didn't believe me when I told them I'd never heard of her. Eventually I just kept an air horn next to the phone.
By eating or by running over little ones with lawnmowers?
And do you count the apple tree embryos I murder when I fail to eat the seeds? God apparently counts those things. He also didn't react too kindly when Adam ate that apple....
My dog jumped up on the sofa. I have only one dog.
There can be only one god. The lowercase indicates that the word is not a proper noun... i.e. god is not his name. The Christian penchant for capitalizing god seems to go along with their preference for capitalizing random words (for emphasis I assume).
Lucky you - I wish a JW told me Satan can mess with the bible during one of the occasional conversations I have with them. Once you admit that the whole thing is questionable. Usually you have to be slightly cleverer than that to trap JWs in logical fallacies.
You might not be out tilling the fields all the time, but you spend all your off hours cutting wood for heating, making tools, repairing tools, making clothes, repairing clothes, mending fences, rounding up animals, etc. Even most modern farmers work more than 40 hours a week. And yes, I grew up in a farming community.

Most conferences will publish method and interm report abstracts. Many journals will also publish novel method papers.

Very scientific of you. Also fantastic engineering practice. I hope you build a bridge I have to drive over someday.

The standard says such headers should be ignored. It's a hole in IE. exploited by Google, of course, but still a bug in the browser.

Comet tails are produced by ablation by the solar wind, not by friction from the comet's motion.
There were exceptions. Japan through most of it's history for example. Also, Mongols.
Try Independence War with the autopilot aid turned off.

Whoops, caffeine is 3 times more toxic than antifreeze, not 1/3 as toxic.

Caffeine is naturally occurring in lots of plants as an insecticide.
