As I read it the interesting thing is that the blood is well preserved, which implies he was frozen immediately after he died. There has been some debate over whether he died where he was found or whether he was carried there for a ritual funeral. Kind of sounds like he died pretty close to where he was found.
It's not clear to me that he was a hunter though. There are other signs that he and some companions were in a big and bloody fight shortly before he died (I believe he had blood from other people on his clothes and knife). Sounds more like a raiding party or warriors than hunters.
DRM doesn't slow down people who seek out illegal copies from pirating. What DRM does do is keep people who choose between legally borrowing a book versus buying their own copy from borrowing. Kind of like the old saying that the lock your front door only keeps out honest people.
It will be interesting to see the effect of this experiment though. My guess is that it won't make much difference, people who buy books will continue to buy them and borrow a few, people who refuse to buy DRM protected material might buy a few more but will continue to pirate them as well.
This is the reason that the 2009 Copenhagen Climate Change Conference was such a spectacular failure. The proposed fix was a massive wealth transfer to "most vulnerable" developing countries under the supervision of the UN. No way developed countries were going to let the UN imposed taxes on them, and developing countries that were not identified as most vulnerable wanted a bigger piece of the pie.
Maybe that doesn't count as dismantling civilization, but the One World Government guys tried to use AGW as a way to push their agenda. The backlash was swift and firm.
I take that to mean the Sun's variations are short duration and on average don't tend to have the same long term effect as the Solar System passing near the remnants of a supernova, which takes thousands of years and has a larger, cumulative effect on the atmosphere.
the ratings are based on the number of skilled engineers world-wide, courses and third party vendors. The popular search engines Google, Bing, Yahoo!, Wikipedia, Amazon, YouTube and Baidu are used to calculate the ratings.
This doesn't give much to go on, but I suspect you could adjust the algorithm to give different results pretty easily.
Ahhh, no. The USA is a Federation of States (United States, get it?). There is a place for a central government, but its role is supposed to be limited to international and interstate matters. That model didn't fail, the failure is in the central government becoming too powerful and injecting itself in places it doesn't belong.
Nope. Offshoring put more pressure on younger "programmers" who don't have the education to compete with those who have CS degrees. But junior (i.e. cheaper) programmers (or any other engineers) have been used to replace more senior staff from the beginning.
Exactly. Is there really any benefit to burning the program into nanocode ROM over normal compiling into a RISC instruction set? In theory, maybe. Burroughs used to do this a few decades ago and gave up on the idea.
There are storage, distribution, and sanitation problems in Africa. But overall the continent has plenty of precipitation. Water and food shortages are weapons of mass destruction used in genocides. In this case you should focus on the disease rather than the symptom.
It can be done though. Mexico stands as a perfect example of how a country (even an overwhelmingly Catholic one) can get its birth rate under control. It takes an enlightened government, not outsiders and foreign aid, to make it happen.
The effect of this program in Mexico is amazing; when I visited in the late 80's it seemed every family had at least five or six children. Today you visit and it's unusual to see parents walking around with more than one or two. They need to beat the drug cartels, but Mexico's future is very bright.
Yes, but there was a problem with eating raw meat. A large brain requires a lot of energy, before cooking the pre-humans couldn't evolve bigger brains because they couldn't collect and consume enough calories to support it. That's the gist of the cooking/meat/bigger brain theory.

Nah. It happens all the time. If HR catches it during the interview process the applicant is done, but once in the door it's a non issue.
Swift describes them as, filthy and with unpleasant habits, resembling human beings far too closely for the liking of protagonist Lemuel Gulliver
Their production line is written in Java.
The problem is that they tried to produce it in an abstract factory, based on an interface specification.

1) Send a message, "Hello, are you out there?"
2) 200 years later..., "Hello, my name is Julie. Is there something I can help you vith?"
Calling it a major cut is a slight exaggeration, the actual cut is 2%, as opposed to Obama's request to increase it by 8%.
It sounds like they're just shifting some money from Obama's "Green" energy initiatives to fusion research.

Healthy bacon. Mmmm.
Gypsy: No
Interviewer: Is it true that you can read minds?
The claim is that more cosmic rays cause cloud formation, which reflects heat.

Finally get a flying car and the damn thing explodes.

1%ers whining about the free market then whining when we suggest that the tax money they refuse to pay not go towards training Filipinos.
Where in any of the linked articles does it say that?
The assumption is that career politicians do not represent the constituency. Not a bad assumption IMHO.

If that thing blows I'm sure most of the 30 million will evacuate something. And they'll need a change of underwear afterward.

it's often the #1 selling paper in the US
Not best selling, it's among the top in circulation because they give it away. Almost two-thirds of USAToday circulation is given away to hotels and schools. And even with that their circulation is dropping; free and still not worth the price.

I hope they don't copy the "crashing" part.
