I'm a tall minority male. In every job I have ever held, I have made as much as if not more than my peers because I'm good at what I do and I know how much my work is worth.
Any claim on any internet forum where membership in any group is asserted is, at best, highly suspicious. By extension, any experiential claim dependent upon the factuality of membership in said group is also, at best, highly suspicious.
Cf course, no one on Slashdot would ever dissemble to make a point.
but more people die from football injuries every year than climbing.
Percentages please? Whatever form you please. Deaths per number of participants, deaths per hours participating in the activity, deaths per *something*, just so we can compare rationally.
Does anyone know why, given the huge area and the number of ships to protect, merchant ships in the area aren't being organized into convoys with military escort through those waters?
I wonder if the question now becomes, if a nonprofit, public interest organizations publishes the documents for free, does that fall under "commercially reproduced or sold in print or electronic forms"?

An interesting, but overgeneralized, point. Please square it, especially your use of the word "everyone", with the rising percentage of mixed marriages.
You're close to making an interesting point. We really do need to know what the avatars looked like. We don't even know the avatar's projected gender.
A screen shot would have sufficed to satisfy this point.
We have to assume that the only thing changed in the experiment was the avatar's skin color. Did the researchers in any way modify the avatar's basic appearance (muscularity, voluptuousness, height, width, clothing) to craft a particularly beautiful (or particularly ugly) avatar, and then modify the skin tone for the experiment, or did they just modify the skin color of the generic avatar?
The obvious answer: If you crash with your safety equipment (helmet, riding boots, protective clothing, etc.) on, your insurance company pays handsomely. If you crash without your equipment, neither your insurance company nor the state pays anything.
Hmmm, perhaps that's a tad harsh.
Migraineman said:Public transportation in the US sucks because it doesn't go where you want to go, when you want to go. It works well for a very limited subset of the population that lives in high-density metro areas; it's useless for any task that leaves these areas.
Point taken. Why doesn't it go where you want it to go? dkleinsc and CRCulver hit the nail on the head. Since public mass transit is viewed as serving only the lower than middle class and the non-white, there's little incentive to make it speedy and convenient.
Hopefully, as economic conditions force more middle class people onto public mass transit, things should improve, because of their economic and political power.
How long will it take? I have no idea.
Because lots of nerds / geeks / etc. like superhero movies.
A lot.
Because it is exciting to see the characters which populated our nerdling imaginations splashed across the big screen for all the world to see.
Because it's weirdly vindicating to have vast flocks of non-nerds willingly paying to wolf down slices of the pop-cultural pie we've been happily noshing on for decades. Years before, they all asked us, "What do you see in that comic book stuff?". Now, at least in part, they know. Though, they'll never admit it.
Excuse me, I must go pick up my cape from the dry cleaners.

What if you're blind? What if you can't move your eyes?
That's how it's better than eye tracking.
Citation please.
Of course, today, of all days, I do not have mod points. Bravo, RetroRichie. Bravo.
There you go doing that thinking thing again. There's no future in it. Stop it, or we'll apply the electrodes... again.

Wouldn't that strategy work at least as well as it did in WWII?
I don't think the pirates have submarines or aircraft... yet.
True, it does look sweet, however, in order to work there you'll have to wear a standard issue henchman uniform.

No, no, no! Don't forget, Canadians and Mexicans aren't United States citizens, so they don't count.

You probably already know. You've probably eaten tens of thousands so far.
So, what happens when Google decides to purchase a company like Reed Elsevier - http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=RUK ?
As of today, that would only cost them $11 billion or so.
Then they would own LexisNexis and all of those journals. Served up in search. Brought to you by Google Ads.

And where oh where is the reference to that warm southern corn porridge? Hmm, I guess grits wouldn't image very well.

Was that before or after the SCOTUS decision?

Bad practical joke. Text "cannibis" or "C4" to your friends just as they enter an airport terminal. Hilarity ensues. Then suing ensues.
So, if I come across a woman with a beard...
