Training. Hundreds of 737M flights each day in the states, not one crash or report of an issue.
Both crashes happened in third world countries. That's not a coincidence.
No. Males have more mutations because they produce exponentially more sex cells, leading to more chances for mutation. That's by far the most driving force behind mutation rates.
While I agree that for simple use Open Office is certainly up to the task, it's become so filled with bloat and poorly optimized code that it's extremely slow to load regardless of machine. Their file translation could also use some work, as attempting to load an OO file saved as a word document can lead to some very funky documents.
Which will last exactly as long as it isn't profitable to make a virus for it.
If everyone swapped to a certain distro of Linux, I'd be willing to bet you'd have major problems within a week.
Have you had vegemite? Whole grain breads? Congratulations, you've had brewing by-products.
Brewing by-products includes things like yeast cakes which are extremely high in a wide variety of vitamins, some of which are difficult to obtain in other feeds outside of soy (which is getting more and more expensive). The whole grains still contain proteins and carbohydrates, which means they're great animal feed and can be used in whole grain products.
I'm not aware that there's ever been any sort of food poisoning or scare traced back to spent grains, and a brief google search reveals none. On top of that, if you're doing something to your grains that makes them poisonous, odds are your beer isn't safe for consumption, either. There really is no need for the FDA to even look into this, as it's effectively been done for centuries with no problems.
...if only your life is on the line, and not, say, the lives of millions of others all the way down to their great great grand children.
Innovation at the cost of safety is great in some fields. After all, the only one dieing is the idiot who blew themself up. But when you accidentally start a meltdown because your "fun" design didn't include all the safety gear you thought it did, I don't have any complaints for having more safety than innovation.
So what are Best Buy's total assets for all their stores? That's a lot of prime retail space in many places, to say nothing of the huge quantity of electronics.
Students can get up to $5500 per year in government aid depending on their need that they do not have to pay back. The government also backs loans at much lower interest rates available elsewhere. Once virtually everyone has access to large amounts of money for college, colleges can easily raise their rate and still have a large volume of students attending - and this is seen by the fact that almost every college raises their tuition and fees far in excess of the rate of inflation every year. Colleges practically bleed money, and very few of them have any semblance of balanced accounting.
There are a lot of reasons we haven't gone supersonic with air travel. Sonic booms do things like shatter windows, set off car alarms, drive animals nuts, etc. The concord flights had to wait until they were 100 miles off shore before they would go supersonic, and they were also extremely inefficient, which means extremely expensive. It really is not cost effective for any airline to do supersonic flights right now, although Virgin has designs on a sub-orbital plane that will fly from New York to Paris in something like 2 hours.
There are also new airframe bodies that do not produce a sonic boom when they break the speed of sound, but I'm not sure how efficient those are for air travel.
You should check out just what exactly you do when you distill a drink.
Basically, you evaporate all the alcohol out of the mash (which is where the urine and meds are in this), collect it via an inverted funnel at the top which has tubing going through a barrel of cold water. The cold tubing condenses the alcohol vapors, which comes out of the bottom as alcohol. This is basically moonshine at that point, and takes on the flavor of whatever you put it in as it ages for years.
Given that the type of sugar usually defines the type of drink you're making, I'm not really sure how this qualifies as "whiskey", though.
This seems to be the equivalent of bragging about getting increased range in a normal car because you put another fuel tank instead of having a trunk and removed everything else that makes a modern car modern. Like important safety equipment, or air conditioning.
I don't get it. Tesla has already done what these guys are trying to do ten times over without sacrificing all of that.
And good luck getting through the southern Mexican parts of the highway in that thing. You'll need it.
Just like anything else, if it's done correctly, it can be great. The problem is most people don't bother to spend the time at it and throw out a half-assed system. To date, Fallout 3 is the only one where the scaling isn't horribly done.
The first time I played through Bioshock (PC) I had adaptive difficulty turned on. About 1/2 way through the game, I began wondering why every enemy I came across took 5 or 6 headshots with anti-personnel rounds to bring down. Unfortunately, it took them a while to patch it so that the difficulty would turn itself back down if you weren't doing as well.
Oblivion was horribly done. Enemies would scale up as high as your level, but your ability to scale up your damage was often cut short long before that. A level gained due to speechcraft and alchemy would net the same increase in monster stats as a level in blades and repair. In the end I wound up editing the game via the construction set just so I could actually enjoy it again.
Ultimately, companies need to hire players rather than play testers. Someone who's going to go through a game because they enjoy it will find many more problems than someone who's told specifically what to test for and look at.
It's amazing how descriptive a patent can be while still claiming virtually nothing at all. Almost every hybrid vehicle on the market could be sued under that patent.
Aren't patent trolls the greatest?
You're forgetting the obvious "Upgrade their network to handle the capacity using the massive profits they've been reaping in for the last 5 years" option. Their network was in place to handle everything up until now, and they've done nothing to try and keep it up to date. Like hell I'm going to support a company that's going to charge me more for something I'm already getting than one that's going to charge me more but guarantees I'm getting better than what I'm currently getting.
...that they really don't care about their copyrights, they just want the cash. After all, why else would you go after the people with more money rather than the people with the most infringements.
...it'd be one of the most ironic things ever. Publishers are the #1 reason most games are rushed out and patched later. No developer wants to put out crap because it stains their reputation, not the publisher's. If Eidos pushed the game before it was ready (and from all reviews it sounds like there are plenty of reasons to think this), you'd think they might realize it's their own fault.

I guess we'll find out what happens when you replace crazy with evil.

Yes, and it worked so well for American auto manufacturers. Detroit is so much better of a slum than Bangladesh!

Careful, overdosing can lead to both explosive diarrhea and decompression.

So we can make more money off of it.
Find a chief executive who actually likes sci-fi, rather than one who admits he hates it.

I know this is the internet, but come on, that post reeked of sarcasm. No need to go on the offensive.
China values imitation much more than the USA does.
