I think there should be a campaign to preserve the skills associated with traditional, authentic crime. It tastes better, for a start, and it keeps locals employed.
I lived in a part of the world that was essentially reclaimed swampland and there were mangrove islands not too far away with swamps, sorry, I mean "pristine wetland environments". Every summer, the mozzie population would boom. Occasionally the council would fog the place with something that smelled like passionfruit. It wiped out all the mozzies for miles around. Wiped out everything else insectoid, too. Piles of dead recently-flying things could be seen under the streetlights.
Bats can eat 100 mozzies per hour? Pfft. People are so much better at this game.
Abso-bloody-lutely. Kids have so much piled on them at school because someone somewhere thinks their favourite thing is the in thing right now.
Stripped right back, the same things that were good to learn in the past are good to learn now: reading and a love of reading, mathematics, science, history, geography, and the biggies that don't have an actual subject: communication (this can be presentations, debates, written works, PowerPoints, posters, audiovisual - anything as long as the ideas in your head get into someone else's head) and co-operative group work.
"Dear Burger Seller Since your prices are too high - which you laughingly blame on robot service costs - we're going to the Cheap Burger Dude across the street. His robots are much better behaved.
Now that state legislation has required you to hire only union members, and we are the only union representing burger flippers in your state, we own you.
I couldn't agree more. As a Mac user, I was jealous of Windows users because they had WinAmp. Then WinAmp came to the Mac and I found it a big disappointment. A million skins, but they were all shite. A playlist system that seemed to be determined to remain file- and folder-based. I tried; I really wanted it to work. In the end, it just wasn't for me.
The Bureau of Meterology has this to say about cyclones in its Climate Change report: Potential changes in tropical cyclone occurrence and intensity (a measure of wind speed alone rather than the amount of precipitation or coastal flooding) are discussed in detail in the 2007 report, Climate Change in Australia, Technical Report. There is substantial evidence from theory and model experiments that the large-scale environment in which tropical cyclones form and evolve is changing as a result of greenhouse warming. Projected changes in the number and intensity of tropical cyclones are subject to the sources of uncertainty inherent in climate change projections. There remains uncertainty in the future change in tropical cyclone frequency (the number of tropical cyclones in a given period) projected by climate models.
He hangs around with a dog, a jock and a couple of chicks and they go around solving mysteries and stuff. And compiling stats, too. Lots of that stuff.
My father has a Quadra 610, one of the last true Macs with a Motorola 68k processor.
Hope he's running System 7! It all began to go downhill with OS 8...
Hell yeah. System 7 was brilliant. I can't remember my LC III ever crashing until System 7.5. Keep the extensions and control panels under control, and it would run fine in 4 MB of RAM.
If you want to be a scientist, I really don't think you're going to be led away from that by a sociology degree.
I did a test tube shaking, microscope squinting, bug hunting degree and if someone had tried to recruit me to sociology, I would have thought they were retarded. Incidentally, 80% of my class were women. In the mid-80s.
Engineering was, I noted, overwhelmingly male. I think that has something to do with the beer drinking requirements.
Until you read that Saddam et al were trying to weaponize camel pox. That virus was chosen because it was assumed that the local (middle eastern) population would have been exposed and thus largely immune to it. Never know, they might have been able to get it to work. http://www.fas.org/nuke/guide/iraq/bw/program.htm

Did you google that?

Surely it wouldn't be difficult to create a more informative, and grammatically imaginative, headline that "Bulgaria Got a Law Requiring Open Source"?

Remember when educators were going to teach all their students HTML, because that's what kids needed for THE COMPUTERY FUTURE.

It can work many ways.
As usual, Monty Python has the answer.

Are you trying to tell 18-year olds to start work sooner so they can retire with more money?
Hamish and Andy did a series about taking a "gap year" to see the world. It was called "Hamish and Andy's Gap Year".
I liked it when it was Sound Jam!

Paid good money for that software, a month before Apple took it, called it iTunes and released it for free.

Extreme weather events have been decreasing in number and possibly intensity for decades in Australia.
Here's some results for Onslow, WA

Huh. I thought sex tape was something you used to prevent leaks.
Brilliant summation. As true now as it was then.
It didn't work for Dylan, and it won't work now.

You should pop on over to a 'Clarity Clarence' meme generator with that one.
