Don't you think the only reason you're saying that is because you've been 'educated' to do so? I can imagine people like you being the ones saying there's no problem with slavery a few hundred years ago, because to you it seems fine. Why isn't it? It's the way things have been done as long as you've known... but you haven't dared to dream whether things could be better if it went away.
There was also a study showing that foreskin removal lowers the risk of transmitting HIV. It's an unfortunate, but probably correct, fact. I think it should be emphasized that it's not some useless/evil part of the male anatomy, though.
There has been no (to my knowledge) increase in resistance to bleach used in the kitchen for instance. It would be like gaining resistance to fire. The properties of these antibacterial agents is just too violent against the cell for evolution to do anything about it.
That's exactly why I clean my hands by setting them on fire. Anything left after it's been put out can stay.
Until the US government is willing to regulate the telephony sector adequately, you will have shitty telephony services and very rich fatcats at the top.
The building has 1Gbps, and each apartment has a 50Mbps connection to that little black box. I've seen it transfer 4 megabytes a second to a friend of mine on the same setup.
Consider this: downloads from a service like iTunes have a generally recognized retail value of $1-$2 a track. Implying that the 2,000 tracks in your shared Kazaa folder are worth serious money. To the rights owners and their licensed - legitimate - distributors.
And as an excercise for the reader, work out the difference between $2 and $200.
This result is proof that everyone needs to share more music. There aren't enough people clearly in violation of the retarded law yet that it sounds ridiculous enough to say that all people sharing music owe the RIAA $250k or more.
I think that XP+DX9 would have made useful supplements to the results they gave, but their goal was to measure DX9 vs DX10, and you don't do that by changing two variables.
Yup. That's when I tested the speed of my car vs a train, I ran the car on the tracks. I was testing the speed of a car vs train, and you don't do that by changing two variables.
Here's some info on what was actually being voted on, because both the SLashdot and EFF summary treat it as a virtual irrelevance:
The plaintiffs were backers of Measure R, which would have allowed medical marijuana clubs to move into retail areas in Berkeley without public hearings and would have erased limits on the amount of cannabis that patients could have.
According to the county's certified results, the measure lost, 25,167 to 24,976. The initiative lost again in a recount.
Well, possibly, but if the user actually chooses to give out personal information despite a browser designed to tell them very clearly when the remote host HAS NOT been authenticated, what are you supposed to do?
only 27 percent use software designed to stop phishing attempts
First thing I thought was, "the other 73% used their brains?"
Whilst too many cars are undoubtedly a problem on the US roads, I think the lack of roundabouts is really slowing things down. I work in Milton Keynes, in the UK. There are lots of cars on the road, and I go through the town/city Monday-Friday. It's designed as a grid system, like many US cities... and the traffic is no problem at all. At worst, it slows down briefly (a few minutes) as you're queueing for a roundabout, but you keep moving; you don't get the stop/start traffic that traffic light intersections bring. I think US cities would benefit from trying to eliminate as many traffic lights as possible for roundabouts. Try them - you'll like them.
Sarbanes-Oxley was passed *in the wake of* the likes of Enron, Tyco International, Peregrine Systems and WorldCom. We don't wanna wait to be in the wake of corporations abusing their power to ruin the net, because by then it will probably be too late.
Besides, the way the US government is now, it may be the only chance to get the legislation through. Once powerful corporations decide they don't like Net Neutrality, their money will start to flow to politicians, and there can only be one outcome then.
The trouble is, if you reduce holy texts to morality lessons, there's not much difference between them and Aesop's Fables. There aren't many other straws for religious people to grasp at once they aren't able to describe 'their' version of history according to a text.
I don't have a problem handing the keys to the authorities provided they can give me a good reason they need them (I really don't enjoy handing out trade secrets, you know...), but what if I just simply and plainly cannot?
I think you're missing the obvious point here, which is that they'll only arrest you and demand this stuff if you're a terrorist, in which case of course you'll have the keys! You'll have been using them recently to store away evil plots, bomb designs, copies of the Quran, and such.
if you want everybody to be able to watch a completely different thing at the same time [...] then everybody needs to be able to get full bandwidth to any other site all the time... Huh?? A video is guaranteed to saturate your connection?
Ehhh, you do realise you'd get an extra hour of daylight in the morning without DST?
I personally would love to kill off DST everywhere. I hate it. I like my mornings light (to wake me up) and my evenings dark (to get me to sleep. Also the outside being dark just feels more cozy).

Wow, things must be going backwards over there!

Also, it's terabyte. Who's fault is it I keep seeing "terrabyte" everywere?
Probably the same person whose fault it is that I keep seeing "who's" everywhere.
When the dollar devalues, dollar prices INCREASE, not decrease.

Screwing with the environment is like sticking humanity's collective meta-wang into that blender.
I'd ask you not to refer to Florida in that way.

They left my copper in, because it was too difficult to remove.
Was that before or after you smacked him over the head with a torque wrench?

As long as you link previous articles once or twice in the summary, it's fine to post dupes!

10 years? Where has the time gone?
:-)
Not sure how many are like me, but to me the last 10 years _felt_ like 10 years. Didn't fly much, lots of stuff happened.
It's very rare to see a fictional TV show revolving around an engineer, mathematician, physicist or hard science major of any kind.
What about Abbey from NCIS? Bad example I know...
By the way, its usually best to leave a space before a question mark at the end of a sentence
Your 'its' should have an apostrophe. No, I'm not a sad nerd with time to notice these things.
