Hysterical exaggeration. It is explained to small children what multiplication means. After that, rote memorization of the tables increases efficiency.
Earliest Egyptian pyramid 2630 BCE. Earliest verified vehicular use of wheel is Mesopotamia around 3200 BCE and Egypt developed the spoked wheel around 2000 BCE. These are just records, it's rather obvious the wheel goes back much further. So yes, the Egyptians had the wheel when the pyramids were built. Did they use them for that? Probably not, due to weight. We *know* they used sledges, so why come up with more complicated methods based solely on supposition?
Right, asking for remote control so they can poke around in your files, record you actions and initiate monetary transactions are things people do to each other every day. Bullshit, they know.
Sir or madam, I truly admire your tenacity - and your sense of the sublime. I'm a little more direct and short. As I've said here before, when I get such a call I immediately start talking in a soft and quaky voice. Like that of an eighty year old. This makes them listen closer and hopefully turn up their volume. I lead them on for a couple of minutes so they're focused and calm and then scream at the top of my lungs like I'm being murdered with an axe. Reactions range from screaming themselves, cursing me out and once trying to find out if I was OK at which point I laughed and *then* they cussed me. All quite cathartic.

Nice of you to downplay one of two of his works. You know, the one that's actually been put into use. All of that collectivism is and has always been at the point of a gun. In other words, by people who would rather get their gains by thuggery than by honesty.
Larger and stronger at a younger age would seem to be a good survival trait, not a bad one. It doesn't seem like the benefits of parental protection instincts for young children would outweigh the negatives of being weaker and smaller, purely on the basis of survival traits.
It is axiomatic that, as far as Homo sapiens is concerned, evolution disagrees with you. I believe the reason is you limit what survival traits are to less than what they truly are.
They ate fruit when they could get it, which was almost never (e.g. berries in late summer, a few dried berries other parts of the year).
Nope. May apples, mulberries, currents, chokecherries, rose hips, elderberries, cherries, apples, pears, persimmons, hawthorn apples; I just took you from spring into late fall after frost and didn't even cover all the available fruits.
I've picked and made jams, pies and such out of all of the above. (You haven't truly lived until you've had chokecherry or elderberry brandy.)

Coffee is connected to mugs, as well as to the motion-planning related to pouring liquid.
The bot, a two-armed, highly-dextrous PR2, queried the system, and discovered that affogato was an italian dessert composed of ice cream and coffee. Without any human nudging or intervention, the robot located the coffee, figured out how to get it out of a dispenser, and poured it over the scooped ice cream.
Notice it queried the system, not the videos themselves. "Without any human nudging or intervention" simply means "at that moment", in other words, it's programmed, not learning on its own. Also it didn't discover it was an Italian dessert, it didn't give a crap about the national origins and in all probability didn't even have that in it's database - it's just word padding to make things seem more human-like.
Yes it is. I sent my daughter to an MS. It was a drain at the time but worth every penny. An aside - she now teaches mid-school physics and physical sciences with an elective in robotics. She's in heaven.
Nawh. Your qualifiers won't do it. I play a lot of one specific game. Quite a bit actually. Yet I've been called a casual player because I have no interest in exploring every nook and cranny, taking every detour and acquiring every tiny reward, and most importantly have no interest in PvP (mostly because of the attitudes).
Look ass-hat AC, I'm a Rep and I find the teacher's, school's and police response intolerable. Most Rep's do, by the way. We're not the ones freaking out over any mention or play acting concerning a gun.
That the "pet" is an imaginary creature suggests he might have serious guilt problems associated with having killed a real pet, or even a human; or witnessed such a crime.
Oh bullshit. Stop playing psychologist, this wasn't some six year old. Every time I was asked to write about myself I fabricated stuff and made it plain that I did. It's not a teacher's job to investigate a kid's psyche.
Just don't sing their praises and make sure they understand it's only one component of who they are and can easily be out-balanced by bad traits. Or, similarly, as it once told my daughter "Remember, a pretty bitch is still a bitch."
The goal should be guiding them towards being a decent and well-adjusted individual.
Oh hell, Jamie and Adam are guilty of the same thing - missing the obvious. I just watched the stripped down version of testing the myth that being in the presence of an attractive member of the opposite sex 'dumbs you down'. Test was read the color of the word and not the text. On the second time through, both sexes' scores improved. and J&A were surprised. Wow. The same people taking the same test a little later in the day (usually called practice) improved. They simply concluded the myth was busted and didn't at all consider the practice session. There are a number of other episodes where the obvious was ignored as well.
Actually, he only said the average was 40 and it was (or around 45, depending on source). He just neglected to point out that it was because of excessive infant mortality.
No. They would not. Not unless you count shitty little hand held movies thrown together by a group of friends as being the best you want. The creation of good movies is simply a very expensive endeavor and even college films cost more than someone not actually in the class underwritten by the college can afford to do it. And *those* are almost exclusively horrid crap.
Agreed. Determining that solution is part of the job, not your home life. Besides, part of finding that solution yields documentation for the project if you do it properly.

Because they left us paintings that *said* they did? I think I'll take their word over others.

I do believe you have an odd definition for excellent.

Except, of course, the distinctiveness is rather shaky instead of "very". It reads as a weasely accusation.
Yes it is. I sent my daughter to an MS. It was a drain at the time but worth every penny. An aside - she now teaches mid-school physics and physical sciences with an elective in robotics. She's in heaven.
That is moronic. Both counts.
"Yeah, as long as other people are allowed to physically remove a person smoking from their vicinity..."
What's the vicinity, chum? If I'm smoking a cigar outside and you walk up and lay a hand on me, there's problems.

Assuming that the civilization advanced enough to build a Dyson Sphere wasn't also advanced enough to recapture IR before it broadcast.
