I believe that for a species to evolve into spacefaring capabilities, they will have already solved their resource management issues. Therefore we don't need to worry about them being aggressive to other sentient species because of competition.
It's also conceivable that this is humanity's litmus test - if we can resolve our internal conflicts and not destroy ourselves in the process, we will eventually earn our place at the intergalactic table.
It's a equally plausible that intelligence species are like strikes on a match.. the flame starts, glows bright, then dies out. On a scale the size of the universe, the odds of human's development span coinciding with another species' might be incredibly small.
"Adults have the greatest risk for dying from chickenpox, with infants having the next highest risk. Males (both boys and men) have a higher risk for a severe case of chickenpox than females. Children who catch chickenpox from family members are likely to have a more severe case than if they caught it outside the home. The older the child, the higher the risk for a more severe case...."

If you want to make sure the TSA leaves your digital goodies alone, label it 'Viruses for AV Testing". Bonus: Carry a disclaimer form releasing you of damages if they do plug it in.
A baseball cap, sunglasses, and a dust or surgical mask would cover up the nose and cheekbones. Bonus: you won't even stand out that much in a crowd as more and more people are doing this for health reasons.
The future of clean energy is not likely going to be found in a single energy source. Instead, it'll be the combination of improvements in wind, solar, and yes - biofuels that get the job done collectively.
Discounting individual technological research and improvements because it won't save the world all by itself will insure our demise.
Teach your family to respond to EVERYONE they don't recognize with: "I don't know you personally. I'm hanging up now. Feel free to call back and leave a message and we'll review it." (And your kids will love saying "kthxbye!")
If it's important, they'll call back. If not, problem solved.
By your own logic then, your life belongs to your parents, not you, and I would argue that you are equating your parental "might" with our societal "might" in order to give you rights.
Do you believe that one being has the authority over other beings, whether by slavery or progeny?
Your offspring is not "Yours". The moment is is born, it becomes its own life, protected by law and the constitution. You may be its steward for the first part of its life, but not its owner.
Feel free to debate the "point where life begins" separately with regards to abortion.
- Manipulative advertising at the very least
- Complete psychological profiling at the worst (They'll be able to track more than ads - they'll know what type of male/female turns you on, what foods excite you, discover your fetishes, etc.)
I'll pass. Unfortunately, someday I predict this technology will be built into the TV via a webcam able to detect visible reactions, subvocal communication, etc.
I met him during an event several years ago. If I recall correctly, he was able to purchase the vehicle during the early-release confusion (Before the dealers fully understood that the vehicles were only to be leased.)
If I recall correctly,/. had a similar thread some time back and someone posted to something official that was recommended to carry with you in your camera back about having the right to photograph public places.
I've googled and can't seem to find it. Anyone?
I'm not saying advancing more gifted students is a bad thing, but what's the rush? Will it really matter in 20 years if they graduated at 16 or 18 years old?
Part of life (and particularly school) is learning social skills and maturing.
Frankly, I want my children to grow into rounded, self confident individuals in addition to learning how to apply themselves and succeed.

More aptly, I heard of a guy who used anecdotal evidence and it worked, does that count?

You are woefully uneducated. I suggest you use your google-fu on other ways HIV is transmitted.
Yes, sex with an infected partner. And sharing of needles, blood transfusions, and babies born from infected mothers, to name a few.
Google wouldn't provide 'Break Up' Insurance' and Groupon was concerned about antitrust issues.
Groupon turned the deal down because Google would not guarantee a "break-up" fee in the event that the deal fell through based on antitrust concerns.

I believe if you contained the hot air at the top for cooling, all you would do is create equilibrium, preventing either end from working.
National Geographic has been running a good series on this: http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2011/01/seven-billion/kunzig-text

I believe the inverse-square law should give you comfort that unless you're very close, you wouldn't have much to worry about.
If you can remove the 54 stickers on a 3X3 cube and re-attach them in 30 seconds, I may be more impressed than I am with this guy's algorithm.
Paper format also makes it easier to hide anything that has been 'lost' in the printing-to-paper process.
This is wrong, on so many levels:
- Manipulative advertising at the very least
- Complete psychological profiling at the worst (They'll be able to track more than ads - they'll know what type of male/female turns you on, what foods excite you, discover your fetishes, etc.)

Sorry. Corporations' obligations to their shareholders is to maximize profit, not deliver "good enough" profits.

Typical Slashdot... OP is about a dying kid getting the fort of his dreams, and /. debates star wars lore.
please... THINK OF THE CHILDREN!
