except that Fox News doesn't quote the Onion, but rather like the Onion, they make stuff up out of whole cloth, based on what they expect their viewers to believe Uh-oh: you believe that *TheOnion* expects its readers to believe their stories? The problem at hand is clearly deeper than we thought.
You're an educated/. reader -- you must know that "in the ballpark," especially when applied to one's self, is nonsense. I repeat: wait for a prospective, null hypothesis test.
That's why automatic transmissions are better: you can keep your left foot on the brake pedal all the time. False conclusion from this fact. It's quite possible (and I've lost track of the biological studies) that you can move your active leg faster than the one you've been completely ignoring. The premise is that your brain can modify the control of the right leg faster than it can "wake up" control of the left leg. So, until some careful reaction time studies are done, I remain skeptical that "left leg on the brake pedal" is a good idea.
Causing an accident while texting is punitively punished, but causing an accident because your girlfriend was giving you shit^H^H^H^H head is just something unfortunate that could have happened to anyone
Uh, really? Since most micronutrients are elements or minerals, perhaps you could explain what an artificial version is. Vitamins, the only other class of micronutrients, are easily added to lab-grown biologicals. I didn't see anything in TFA about adding teratogenics to the mix. On the contrary, it's the four-legged "real cow" version which is chock full of antibiotics and feed additives.
OK, I'm going to buy one of these cars, charge it up for free at the nearest station, drive home, and dump the battery into my house inverter. I'll get all the electricity for everything I own, for FREE!!!!!! Maybe I'll even dump some back into the grid and make money off whatever Con Ed is calling itself these days.
Maybe in Europe but in the USA no we don't have frequent sports riots. For what definition of "frequent"? Plenty of post-game uncontrolled crowd behavior after Div1AA football games, near-guaranteed riots after a football, basketball, or hockey pro championship, etc.
Please, will the sensible and non-crazy muslims please stand up already and disown these lunatics? IIRC, last weekend there were a few large demonstrations by Islamic residents of Syria *in support* of the USA. Whether this represents the majority of Muslims in that country remains to be seen. It also does nothing to counter the fundamental (oops) problem that organized religion is just plain insanity.
I would agree that medical use trumps party use; but how difficult would it be to retool an MRI to use, say, liquid nitrogen for cooling?
Well, as soon as you start producing your patented superconductor material which both supports the field strength required in an NMR (fuck that "MRI" name) and operates at 77K, we'll be happy to switch. Just how ignorant are you, anyway?
Well, if the 3D software community is anything like XDev, it'll be about 2 days after launch when the Replicator2 is rooted and CyanogenMod's equivalent is available for loading.
And you can put anything on your quick start/task bar for 1-click access in any version of Windows that came out in the last decade and a half. Untrue. Win7 does not allow anything other than applications (exe) to be pinned to the taskbar. There are workarounds, but they are painful and tedious. There are lots of other stupid un-features of Win7's task bar and start menu, but they've been discussed often enough in the past.
Yeah, but now we know it's between 10% and 30% distracting! And now we know that, we can... um... ooh, shiny thing, brb.
I think I missed something in the Official List of Slashdot memes: it used to be that "shiny thing" meant the writer had ADD, but it's beginning to look like a secret name for "boobies"
Around 1990 I was working at an oilfield testing company that had the grown kid of the original company owner at the helm. The guy was a moron and didn't care how the company functioned as long as the money kept coming in for him to go play the horses at a local racetrack. I'm sorry, but I just can't resist asking: were the owner and his kid named George H W and George W?
Or to bail out a bank.
My thought exactly. Add up all the Wall Street bonuses last year and you could fully fund NASA with enough cash left over for a nationwide pizza party.
Just mount a mirror so each camera sees itself. Then it will know when it's about to get smacked. Or even better, a real-time monitor so it can see itself seeing itself....
And any number of philosopher types added an even more important law: "A robot shall know it is a robot." After all, if a robot thinks it's human, the 3 (or4) laws don't apply in the first place.
+1 for actually knowing who Cocteau is. Now you know there's at least one other person on/. who knew (and has seen the movie) without resorting to wikipedia or imdb .
Now -- does anyone else remember the double-features which changed daily at "Hark, Hark! The Clark!" theatre in Chicago?
Wha... encoding digital data at a rate faster than the flicker response of the human eye? Is that even legal? OMG what a breakthrough. Next thing you know, someone will figure out how to encode stereo information in a high-frequency side-band to the mono signal.
I did saw a photo online of a person's brain crawling with worms, resulted from eating sushi
Since then I never ever touch sushi no more By that metric, you'll shortly run out of foods you are willing to eat. Maybe ya better take Khan Academy's Statistics courses, like right now.

So there!
There may be a free-market solution. Let's float a trial balloon and see how everyone reacts.

It's just that they're all pictures of the overlords of the universe: invisible pink unicorns.
Plus a few pictures of the god that Atheists worship.
Ya got some pretty old laptops there, pardner. Better install SideTrack.

I have the patent upon First Posts - you'll hear from my lawyers; Dewey, Skruem & Howe
beating the obvious to death: did Mr. Cheathem, Esq. retire, leaving a partnership to Mr. Skruem?
