Besides, a few "lawn sized" patches of light aren't going to make the place any less bleak during the winter months...it might blind some folks looking in the wrong direction, though. Or did I miss the part where they add in some kind of diffusing lens?
Do they use a diffusing lens to protect peoples' eyesight from direct sunlight? Why would one be required in this case? I ask this half-rhetorically... perhaps there's some strange effect present, like when looking at an eclipse.
The way things seem to be headed (based on TFA), just wait a few years. Give the old folks time to die off, and the younger group time to get fed up and leave. $2,400,000 saved.
And an entire town to convert into the world's largest rave area. Those mirrors would still come in handy, though.
I really do laugh every time someone brings up this line of reasoning when talking about people who copy music. Seriously, if they thought the prices were fair, do you think they'd be illegally downloading it?
Allow me to laugh at your line of reasoning. Fair pricing has nothing to do with copyright infringement. I'm surprised you are conflating the two. You know the whole correlation/causation line. If you made it a penny per song, you'd still have people who download their music rather than purchase it just because they can. On the other hand there are people who, even though they have the knowledge and ability to download all of their music for free, still refuse to download any music and purchase all of their CDs. In the end, it doesn't matter what the reasoning... people will go to any lengths to justify their behavior.
Free + perfect reproduction + you won't get caught + it's not really stealing... wins out over fair prices for a lot of people. It's the difference between "This theatre charges too much, so I'll find another theatre or just not watch the movie" -vs- "This theatre charges too much, so I'm going to sneak in the back door without paying and get free entertainment".
One might argue that the "attitudes" are that the "creators" have been getting overcompensated...
Then you might want to ask yourself who it is doing the compensation. If consumers are paying the prices, then clearly they think the prices are fair. Who gives a shit whether or not "one" thinks such compensation is excessive?
No research necessary -- the answer is in plain sight: "A 25 yr old British man could be the first people...
Clearly this man is more than one person, judging by the use of the word "people" when referring to an individual. Perhaps when the man was first tested it was his second person they tested. Upon subsequent tests, it's his first person. Case closed! Another fine caper solved by ScuttleMonkey.
For the last bloody time, terrorist are not entitled to due process according to the Geneva Convention!
Regardless of how accurate the Geneva Convention reflects current warfare, do you think a suspected terrorist should be denied the basic due process afforded others? Keep in mind, all you have to be is a suspect in a terrorist incident and you can have all your rights stripped away. Were you in the same vicinity as a terrorist incident? Then I hope you don't mind being held indefinitely. I'm sure you'll be comforted to know that it's perfectly in keeping with the Geneva Convention when you're released 10 years later, never having stood trial, never having access to a lawyer, no phone calls, no visits, and never having had a chance to even find out what evidence brought the authorities to detain you.
It's implied by the nature of the situation. Which is why it's prohibited.
No. Coercion is implied neither in the linked article nor in the situation itself. Why it's unethical is because the research may no longer be unbiased. You look at the situation and see a woman being pressured into providing her eggs. I look at it and see a woman who wants the first cloned human embryo to be her own.
And comparing it to statutory rape is truly over the top. You should get a +5, Troll for that one!
If you pause the first video where Rob clicks on his start menu, you'll see an eMachines folder. Wow, whatever respect I might have had in the first place went completely down the toilet. You'd expect any geek to put together their own computer or, short of that, maybe grab a Dell machine if they're short on time. But eMachines? After seeing that, I was certain I'd find an AOL icon too.
"She asserts that when plaintiff 'delivered' his sperm, it was a gift -- an absolute and irrevocable transfer of title to property from a donor to a donee," the decision said. "There was no agreement that the original deposit would be returned upon request."
Who'da thunk that getting a blowjob involves a property transfer from one person to another. Sticky business, these things.
If you're asking in the metaphysical "do we really have free will" kind of way, then you're an idiot. Otherwise, you're a bigger idiot.
Do you really think people have voluntarily "standardized" on the worst commercial software available?
Mu. The assumptions upon which you base your line of reasoning are faulty, therefore the entire question is meaningless. And given that your entire post is predicated upon this illogic, good day to you.

They seem to have achieved a score of 750 out of a possible 1950.
Were they eaten by a space grue?

I wouldn't trade bittorrent for napster any day. Thank you RIAA for those fast linux ISOs.
And it sure was hell finding a Linux ISO on Napster, let me tell you...
So instead of B5 games, the industry feeds us a bunch of BS games instead.

Actually all the company has to do is extend the court case beyond the ladies ability to financially sustain the fight in court and she looses.
What would it take for her to be tight instead of loose? Remember kids, loose rhymes with goose.
What does Info-Tech have to gain from a decrease in Skype's popularity? Look for an ulterior motive here.

No, he had them arranged with 1,2,3 above 4,5,6. Go read TFA.
In this case, accuracy would have made for a very lousy joke.
I'm sure most people would buy and chew gum if it could effectively replace brushing.
I think they need to do a bit more research. Most people would buy it if it came in the following flavors:
*) Root Canal Burst
*) Filling Freshmint
*) Extraction Passion
*) Crown Excitement
Just dissolve some nitrous oxide into the gum and it'll sell like hotcakes.

Reading from the link someone else provided:

In Korea, only old kids enter first grade.
I just submitted a bug to Google regarding their calculator. Apparently dividing libraries of congress by hogsheads per fortnight isn't supported.
You're going to make them drink American beer? How cruel! The carbonated urine that is American beer is a punishment no man can bear.
In other words, when discussing females is it way more, or weigh more?
Maybe the editor edited out the links to his blog.
You must be new around here.
Out of curiosity, what's the design flaw in the eye?
What makes you think people have a choice?
