Except that we knew his full name (which was rather uncommon) from the check he wrote us, his age, his profession (law), and his city of origin. The report which explains why his bar certification was stripped contains all of these details, which he corraborated with his own words.
I'd agree with you if his name was "John Smith" and that's all we knew about him, but in this case, there was no doubt that this was the same person.
Same here, I can detect the volume difference. It would be nice if sound check determined a volume for the entire album, instead of on a per-track basis.
We were looking for a room-mate to replace a roomie of mine who was moving out. We post an ad on Craigslist, this dude responds and comes over to meet us. Everything seems fine...the guy is nice, polite, seems like he would have no problem playing the rent...
We tell the guy that we'll probably let you move in, but we have to talk to our other room-mate first to make sure he was cool with it (he wasn't home at the time). On a hunch, I type in the guy's name on Google...
First hit turns up a lot of dirt. Turns out the guy was a full-fledged lawyer, but had his bar certification stripped for multiple counts of fraud, perjury, filing false documents, etc etc. In addition, the guy starred in a soft-core gay porn that came out about 6 months prior. We promptly called the guy back and told him the room had been rented to someone else...
So I guess the lesson is, the Internet can completely ruin your reputation, and close doors where you wouldn't expect it to.
How long will it be until these systems start to look at the ethnicity/gender/age of people and use that to gauge threat level? We're on a slippery slope here...
I'll tell you why I cling to incadescent bulbs: I live in an apartment, and my typical apartment stay is no more than ~2 years. I think this is the case for many people in the college/post-college age-range. Why should I install a bulb that's several times more expensive when it won't recoup the costs during my relatively short stay at that particular apartment?
If you own a home, fine, you'll probably be there for a while, so it makes sense to upgrade all your lights to CFs. But for those who are constantly moving around, there's little reason to switch.
Not saying that those competitors don't deserve the prize, but obviously Dr. Baker's work scored higher on the metric they use. I would guess the scale has more to do with the quality of the work than the topic of the work.
Culture is culture. If no one looks at culture of the present day, we lose a lot of valuable information.
You're basically saying it's OK to abolish the study of culture at the university level. And while I am not personally interested in Star Trek, I do think that it has had an amazing influence over a large portion of the general population, and studying that effect is definitely worth the effort.
And I wouldn't be surprised if someone doesn't look at the effect of the Simpsons on our civilization. Ignoring the mundane details that describe our culture means ignoring the essence of culture as a whole.
When fights break out among our kids, we punish both parties equally. While the aggressor gets punished for "taking things to the next level", the victim is punished for allowing it to happen to him/her. They can develop means to encourage aggressors to leave them the !@## alone, and they do.
Yeah, that's a good strategy. Punish the innocent. Don't bother to figure out what actually happened, just teach your kids that there is no justice in the world.
The biggest reason for the average consumer is that you move beyond the RAM ceiling of 4GB. Not that it probably matters on a laptop (yet), but I think that's the reason most people notice/care about.

I really enjoy this rice...especially since I have several tongues to taste it with now! Mmmm!

Wouldn't be the first time Dallas screwed over Kennedy...
Now my $1000 bet that Peter Dicks would be arrested doesn't look quite so foolish...call my bookie!

After the security breach at the FSA, and now this, I'm seriously beginning to regret going to college in this country...
I don't have a problem with demoting Pluto. I have a problem with their lame definition, which doesn't really concretely define anything.
Unless they forget to convert to metric...then it might end up on the Moon...
I don't know, but I bet it has something to do with Schteffen Colbheimer...
Even if he did, I'm sure it was just an occident!

I meant would, not wouldn't.

It's ok, I don't undertand anything either.

That guy gets all the attention. ;-(
Don't you get it? Slashdot is backing up this story so such a disaster can never happen to them.
Now when I have to explain the bulge in my pants, I'll say it's because I'm eccentric! /Badump bump

The Russians just launched my girlfriend into space!
