Stupid parents have stupid children. I assume some is nutrition versus nurturing, but in the end it doesn't matter. And Mothers: Please don't use the TV as a babysitter.
The manufacturers charge high prices in the US because they can get away with it. Forget about books, think about what this could mean to pharmaceuticals or electronics retailing; the US has been subsidizing those products forever.
The point is that bottom feeding fish below Fukushima show abnormally high levels of radiation. Was it caused by the meltdown? Probably, at least in part, but they can't say for sure how much. Is it getting better or worse? They don't seem to know.
They've been monitoring the fish for a year and the radiation levels have remained constant. Makes me wonder what the radiation level was before the tsunami. I wouldn't want to eat bottom feeding fish downstream from a large city anyway.
Is the same thing going on across the country all accidents? When does that excuse become non-credible.
Citation needed. If it happened once in one county in Indiana then it probably was an accident. If it is indeed happening elsewhere you would have a point.
Came here to make this comment. Occasionally you'll find a super-programmer who gets it right, but most of the time his code is so convoluted and poorly documented that nobody else can stand to get near it.
It's like any other gesture. It works when you know exactly what to do in exactly the right context. But unless you know what to do in what context, forget it.
You are close to what actually happened. An amateur geologist decided for reasons of his own that an earthquake was imminent and had been spreading panic for several months before the quake. These geologists tried to calm people's fears by stating (correctly) that there was no scientific evidence that an earthquake was about to strike.
I assume there have been many such predictions over the years and authorities have responded by assuring people that there was no reason to panic. As luck would have it, this time there was an earthquake that killed many people (actually not all that uncommon where it happened, so it wasn't pure luck that the guy predicted it). So now whenever anyone cries "wolf" in Italy everyone needs to take it seriously.
The satellites frequently reposition themselves, because no matter how accurate they are placed into orbit they drift a little. I can see having a tanker satellite up there that can help reposition one that wandered out of place and refuel it if the physics of docking with it are possible. Maybe even replace a solar panel once they standardize external parts and connections. The tanker would need a much stronger engine so using it to reposition would probably make sense in some circumstances.
The energy to get to transfer orbit in the first place is a one-time expense, since atmospheric drag and gravity will get you back down from there
Care to explain how? In order to repair and refuel the robot must be in the same geostationary orbit as the satellite it's fixing. Read that carefully - geostationary orbit - it's not going to fall down.
There's no such thing as a "generic antibiotic". Bacteria or yeast? Gram positive or gram negative bacteria? It all makes a big difference in what specific antibiotic is prescribed.
More specifically, given how widespread belief systems are in the world I assume there's a survival advantage for humans who hold onto a belief even when it contradicts observable facts.
Is anyone actually exchanging bitcoins for other currency? The summary implies each can be traded for about $11.50 but that seems questionable if there isn't any trading going on.
There were a few pilots during and shortly WWII who claimed to have gone more than Mach 1.0. Some said the P-51 was capable of it in a power dive. Of course it was often fatal which makes Yeager's willingness to make the flight all the more impressive.
FYI, "fracking" has been verifiably linked [propublica.org] to flammable tap water.
No, it hasn't. The study found (in a very small number of samples, not really statistically significant) a measurable increase in methane above the baseline near a few wells, which they attribute to leaking well casings, not hydraulic fracturing. Sorry, no flaming tap water.
The housing bubble started back in the 90's because banks were required to make a certain percent of their loans to low income borrowers. In return the government agreed to take over those loans when (not if) they want bad. It took a few years for the inevitable scenario to play out, but here we are.
This "secondary market" looks more like a press release from someone trying to flip an app trading site.

More like a barge than a yacht. I guess he was going for the rectangle with rounded corners look.

The touchscreen and interface conventions make direct manipulation shine in a way you just can't get from a screen two feet away on a desk.
Maybe for some people...personally I prefer a couple of big monitors in front of me.

Even gave the handlers a raspberry at the end.

If I get meningitis from a hospital stay, the HOSPITAL eats the cost like any other business.
That's called an Accountable Care Organization and outcomes based reimbursement. The US is already going there.
Italy’s supreme court rejected an INAIL appeal against that ruling on October 12 though its decision was only reported on Friday.
INAIL - I'm Not An Italian Lawyer ???

Do you think humans have a genetic predisposition to believe in things that have no basis in science?

Apparently North Korea has the technology to print large amounts of other countries' currency. Iran should ask them to print some up for them.
Why not just quit going to school? Net result will be the same.

I'm fairly certain that were Einstein still alive, he would be shaking his head at such ridiculousness.
More likely he'd be rolling over in his grave, because they buried him a long time ago.
