Everyone I know that went away to college (7 different schools, actually) still has access to Battle.net, WoW, etc.. Where are you getting this information that Battle.net is blocked from universities?
Living longer than it takes to raise your children to the point where they can raise their children would be pointless from an evolutionary standpoint.
Naturally, humans don't live longer than it takes to raise offspring. It is our medicine and technology that enables us to do so.
BMI also assumes your height is what you "should" be. I have scoliosis to a fair degree, so I'm about and inch or two shorter than I would be without it. How does this skew my BMI results? Some quick checks with online BMI calculators shows that adding one inch removes almost a point from my BMI. Which number is more accurate?
I'm not going to say BMI is a horrible thing, but as a critical data point in a study like this it is far too inaccurate. Body fat percentage seems like a much better factor.
I don't care what the studies say; Getting your partner tested for STDs before having sex with them doesn't require removing a piece of your own body and is even more effective at preventing the spread of STDs.
That is one of the worst logical fallacies I have ever heard. Your statement is akin to saying "I killed all the tigers in Pennsylvania," ignoring the fact that there were no tigers to begin with. You can't assume the DHS is working because no attacks have been made unless you have actual evidence that the DHS is stopping the attacks, not the same safeguards that were in place before 9-11.
And the Segway was designed to revolutionize the way we get around, but that doesn't mean there is any evidence to suggest that happened.
Every time someone says "Dvorak is better for your hands" or "QWERTY was designed to be slow" really needs to do some basic research and stop spouting out everything they hear. Dvorak has never been objectively proven to be faster or more comfortable. The only studies to support this claim were of questionable integrity. I will gladly accept this claim if it can be objectively demonstrated, but until then, stop saying it please.
So now the students get a free method to skip class even easier. Anyone that plans on skipping can just give it to a friend that plans on attending. As far as I know, cell phones are so ubiquitous in Japan that all students will already have a cell phone and thus not care about someone else having their iPhone for a few hours. More so, if students leave their phones in a common place, and they think someone is going to miss a class, they just grab their phone for them and fake their attendance like normal. This entire plan seems silly. Why not go for biometrics if you want to keep kids in the class? It's not as trivial (but still possible) to fake a finger print or decent facial recognition. Or you could drop the requirement for attendance and let the students face he consequences of missing a lesson or the benefits of more time spent on work outside of the class.
It will always been too soon to make a game about any real war to some group. There is a sort of logarithmic scale to the number of people offended by a particular war being depicted in video games.
Also, the accuracy of the war is important. More specifically, less accurate representations of wars that favor your market's culture's "good guys" will be more acceptable than highly accurate depictions. Even if your side won, you want to keep the image that they completely won, with as little difficulty as possible.
Real life "bad" events will always be a touchy subject to depict in any media. Pictures of the planes hitting the WTC buildings are generally only used when necessary. Songs about unfortunate events are highly criticized if they aren't ultra sympathetic. Games about war are either dumbed-down as much as possible, or they're about fictitious scenarios. You'll always have someone complaining about reminders of things they want to forget or move passed, it's just a question of how many you're willing to put up with to release your work.
I know that something always goes wrong. But you don't announce it to your users. That's just bad PR work. Under no circumstances do you tell your customers "Things are going to break, we guarantee it. Come watch it happen." during the launch event for your product. You don't bring up bad things during a time like that. You focus on the positive aspects and work out the kinks with as little fanfare as possible.
Some how the "Things will definitely go wrong" angle seems to be the precise reason why no one else has done such an unveiling to the public. I think they need to get some new PR people, because whoever they have right now is not doing a good job at making this sound like a stable, reliable system.
This might be helpful for rockets launched in 4 or 5 years (Which I think is a very generous estimate on how long something like this would take to be adopted even close to universally.) it doesn't address the issue of all the stuff already up there. How long will the majority of the debris in orbit remain? How effective are these sails when they themselves are punctured by debris? It's a great plan for keeping things from getting worse, but as I understand, a lot of things up there that are in danger of causing damage will be up for quite some time.
I've worked around touchscreen point-of-sale equipment for a few years now, and during my own use of the POS screens and the use of others, I've never once heard of calibration being an issue on a screen, with the exception of a brand new, out-of-the-box screen. If these voting screens need calibration beyond their first start up, then they're doing something very wrong.
Spinning out of control? How can we make such a judgement without understanding how it works? Plus, fixing something you don't understand is pretty much guess work and luck.
The gist of the article is "We asked Apple why they're more expensive, and took their word for it." It's just regurgitated marketspeak about how Apple tweaks the firmware for the optimal performance, has special rubber on the grommets of the ADM that is specific to each drive to reduce vibrations, and how off-the-shelf drives are unreliable, slow, noisy, and hot.
They don't make an effort to verify this information at all. Because Xserves won't run with commodity drives, they can't do a proper comparison to determine how much is truth and how much is smoke-up-the-ass from Apple. This is such an astroturf article, it doesn't even pretend to be anything otherwise.
Pray to dieties, sacrifice every living animal you can get your hands on, and avoid every single bad luck superstition. My brother has DMD and at the age of 30, he can't even feed himself anymore. I sincerely hope for the best with your children.
But NNSA is the part of the DOE that handles research of nuclear energy in military applications. This includes nuclear weapons and nuclear reactors for ships and submarines.
I'm from Michigan and I can tell you for a fact: You'd be better off drinking water straight from the ocean. The lakes around here are about as clean as the water you flush down the toilet after eating some bad Mexican.
No, the max remains the same because the hardware remains the same. The maximum framerates are from the hardware being pushed to its limit in this particular benchmark.
What I'm interested in is a timeline of the benchmark. I want to see how long each run stays are maximum and minimum. I'm curious as to how consistent the framerates are for either OS.
Whoa there, skipper. Their primary (and sole) income is adspace. They don't sell the copyrighted content. That's the big issue here, so I wouldn't be so quick to right it off as simple legal or illegal.

Some parts of the world use decimals where us Americans use commas, and vice versa.

Alright, so Dell makes $3 million; But how much does Twitter make from Dell's @DellOutlet account? And how much revenue does Twitter make in general?

Would you mind citing your source for that "90% of Twitter users use the API" fact?
Q: How many feminists does it take to change a lightbulb?
A: Four. One to change the lightbulb, three to form a support group.
But really, it's a trick question because feminists can't change anything.
