We did snipe hunts in college. It really surprised me that some of my fellow students might not have known that snipe hunts were fake, And yet... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snipe
...an awful example of gerundification. "Off-shoring" ? What a horrible word. It probably shouldn't have a hyphen, either, as that could lead to even more confusion over its intended meaning.
I think most comments so far are looking at it the wrong way. If robots and AI could really do all, and I mean every single one, of the jobs out there, then either 1) we'd have a full utopia -- or at least something like The Diamond Age; or 2) We'd come up with new jobs.
FWIW, the subject of the GP's sentence is "none," not "them." You fail English. And while I'm on the subject, your English teacher *flunks* you, not *fails* you.
In sixty or seventy years, when the truth is declassified about now, you might not be around for the "i told you so"... so do yourself a favour and assume a zebra doesn't change its stripes much.
I'm assuming you meant "assume an Ice Station Zebra doesn't change..." here.
Whether or not there's any basis for the claims, it's complete bullshit to suggest that the effect wouldn't be strongest when sitting next to a transmitter. There isn't any particular support for the notion at this time, but there isn't any particular evidence that people aren't sensitive. You're a little weak on the concept of scientific methods and the null hypothesis, aren't you? Not to mention that I bet a few minutes w/ Google might find you some studies which failed to find any such sensitivity.
The next day, the professor got up and sincerely praised all of us for our perseverance and tenacity in working through the difficult quiz. In particular, he wanted to praise one student who took the quiz 39 times before getting all 10 questions correct. He didn't know who it was, but he was clearly exuberant that he had a student so dedicated to excelling in the class. I didn't have the heart to tell him what I had actually done. Well, at least after the end of the course, you should have published your feat in the school newspaper. This prof was an idiot and deserves to get shown up. PS IAAPG (Physics Graduate)
In bulk liquid nitrogen costs less than milk. In that case we'll clearly need some price support for LN2. (Deep sarcasm, for those not familiar with the "distance from farm" pricing rules currently in effect for milk in the USA)
this is exactly the problem with a laser beam. Not having read TFA, I dunno whether the summary's "modulation" means a coherence-spoiler, but if it doesn't, the laser beam is going to be a lousy illuminator. Ooops, also not mentioned in summary: if , like current so-called white LEDs, this new headlamp uses a laser to stimulate a high-efficiency white phosphor, then we can all stop worrying: the emitted light will be incoherent.
That's interesting because copying your passport is illegal in the UK. Same is true for your drivers license I suspect that in this case, "copy" is not the same as "image." Certainly in the USA, it's illegal to make a copy (counterfeit item passing as real) of yr license, but quite legal to send a scanned image (not even close to pretending to be real).
I'm still waiting for the sequence of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. That's easy: spaghetti, spaghetti, spaghetti,.....,spagetti, meatball, meatball, spaghetti, spaghetti, spaghetti...
Ummmm... you *are* aware that neither the book nor the movie Minority Report had anything to do with brain scanning? It was entirely about precogs' ability to generate reports of what was going to happen in the near future.
Asking actresses for medical advice as intelligent as asking MDs for carpentry advice. Hey, my MD is a very good carpenter, you insensitive clod! OTOH, my carpenter would make a really lousy MD
it isn't that simple. to my knowledge there is no negative side effect from wearing your seatbelt, however there can be for vaccines. "It wrinkles my clothing." "It squishes my right/left boob." "It feels funny." That's a good start. They may be stupid (there's that classification again) but people use them as excuses not to buckle up.
The real story here is: never ever EVER farm your software tools out to "the cloud" . It's URL filtering all over again. Feel free to reply with your remote-control-of-your-car analogies:-)
b) This is almost a perfect example of begging the question. Guess you just plain refuse to look up the definition of "beg the question." For one thing, it can't be followed by ": Why..."
And here I thought I wouldn't see this ridiculous straw man argument here. Sperm isn't going to form a human being by itself. A zygote will. No, no, it won't. You are arguing (I guess) that a sperm requires an egg. A zygote requires successful implantation-- so it requires a live uterus, etc. Stop trying to draw a line in non-demarcable sand.
So now a person's personal heath care decisions are game for criticism and would count against them for political consideration? You bet they do, *when* : Perry preaches that all America's political and personal problems will be solved thru prayer. The fact that he went for scientific treatment shows his hypocrisy. Same as when some old fart joins the TeaBagger movement despite collecting medicare benefits.
Seems to me, from the brief notes in TFA, that the judge suggested it was ok to say that creationists were completely failing to follow scientific principles in claiming their position was correct. The teacher didn't directly attack religion, just the absurd methodology of the religious folks in this case.

I guess the proper answer to that is "me too!"

If so, watch your brain carefully.

Wating for the "Whoooosh"-based comments about this being an insta-fail for all Muslim, Jewish, and similar religious groups...
