Indeed, there is a bit of a cultural difference here. First off having a dryer for your laundry is actually pretty rare so most people just put it outside to dry on a balcony or patio. Thus, seeing laundry out drying is actually part of the background and something that people ignore as it is considered "personal" (i.e. in public, but of a private nature) so I could see how someone could get embarrassed over having it on the internet.
Depends on their major, but in most cases, if you aren't going for a degree in the sciences or engineering then most schools really don't require much math beyond basic calculus as part of the core curriculum. In some cases they might go a bit farther, but in other cases there might actually be less if you are going for a humanities degree where students might not even have to take calculus courses.
Eh, but you also have to remember that getting into high schools in China is not guaranteed and students have to test for placement so the population of high school students is going to be self limiting. If only your most promising students are in high school then it is going to be easier for you to show strong scores at a global level. The same argument cant be made for Japan where high school is not compulsorily and students have to test to get into the high school of their choice.
You need to do this for each app that spams the wall, but when you put your mouse over the message an X will appear. Clicking will give you a couple options like "Hide [User]", "Mark as Spam", and "Hide Messages from [App]." When you hide the messages from the app, you will hide all messages across everyone on your friend list. Given that certain apps tend to be the most popular and played by more than one person, it shouldn't be too hard to hide the majority of the messages.
Jacquard looms had been around for awhile and used punch cards to control how the machine operated. Likewise, changing the punch cards would allow for a different pattern to be made. However, these were by no means general purpose computers and were also not capable of preforming calculations.
Founding one of the early religions tended to be an important strategy for some games because of the boosts that it would give you and depending upon where you started, you sometimes need all the help you can get. While there really wasn't much to separate one religion from the other, some of the AIs were definitely tailored to care more about if you shared the same religion as them or not. Likewise, being the fonder of the main religion of the world would fill the coffers nicely and allow you to not worry as much about your economy at times.
In some cases it makes sense to run tests with "random Joe's" as opposed to personnel that have been read into what is going on so you can see how they react to an unknown situation. One of the better ways to judge operational effectiveness.
Would the hosting company quality as a common carrier though? My understanding is that ISPs quality as common carriers since they have no way of knowing what data they are passing along, but that hosts are subject to the laws of the countries the servers are located in since they have the means to inspect and control the data on their servers.
Burning mod points, but I would argue that dancing is extremely cultural. If you go back 100 years or so then ballroom dancing was a lot more popular than it is now and both genders were judged on the basis of how they danced. Now ballroom dancing is something that you need to go looking for and what makes someone a good dancer at a club in one part of the world might be completely different than another part of the world.
If the NAX population did produce gruels or beer fermentations using Actinomycete bacteria, they would also have needed to inoculate the media used with greater than 10% of an active culture or previous fermentation broth to achieve the growth needed to produce sufficient quantities of tetracycline in a liquid fermentation medium (McCormick et al., 1959). In contrast, surface inoculation of cracked and water-treated grains would produce tetracycline, but in low yields compared with liquid fermentation (Novotny and Herold, 1960).
If I am understanding the article correctly, it sounds like they are implying that either the Nubian population was using really moldy grain to brew their beer, or they might have stumbled upon something that made them want to use the moldy beer for some other reason. It could be something as simple as someone made a batch of beer with some moldy grain and found they liked the taste, to finding that someone got better after being given the beer which lead to them making it the standard brew. Hard to really speculate about something that far back, but based on the article it seems to me they knew what they were doing when they made the beer and had a reason for making it that way.
Things seem to be changing if you are trying to learn Japanese as a foreign language as well. I've read some discussions that say that it is better to memorize kanji and then let the computer do most of the heavy lifting for you when it comes to writing them out. Granted this is still very controversial but who knows where things may be in a couple of years.
I'm going through the same process myself, from what I've heard, there are a couple hundred that are in such common use (e.g. watashi, or ) that it is hard to have a good reason not to know them from the reading and writing standpoint. Beyond that you might be able to get away with using hiragana but you need to at least be able to recognize them and know what they mean or your reading ability will be very limited.
I believe what the grandparent is referring to is the unbalancing of the genders due to the One Child Per Family policy and the cultural preference to have a male as opposed to a female. Since there are currently more males than females reaching sexual maturity, the government is likely worried about the social unrest this will cause since it means that the men will be unable to find a wife to start a family with.
There have been a number of articles about this in recent months and some scholars are speculating that China will encourage immigration from other countries to even up the ratio or perhaps even enact policy that will encourage the migration of the men for the same reasons. Likewise, some NGOs are worried that there will be an increase in prostitution in China since the demand will go up among men who are unable to find wives.
I find this a bit surprising as I had one of the old Pro models (20Gb) that was playing modern games (i.e. Red Dead Redemption) with no problems. Granted I did upgrade to the Xbox 360 S but that primary because the new S model is quite compelling in terms of the 250 Gb hard drive and wireless built-in when you are almost out of hard drive space and are looking to cleanup the pile of cables by the TV.
Serious scientific research can be done on lucid dreaming and there might be something worth learning from it (e.g. how does it happen, why is it allowed to happen?) and just because it is tied to theology and other non-scientific aspects of the human experience is no reason to just toss it out as being uninteresting. Lucid dreaming is actually a phenomenon that we know happens, that we can record markers for in sleep laboratories, and that there is still a lot of interesting things that can be learned about it.
Point of clarification but at the end of "The End of Evangelion" everyone exploded into pools of LCL fluid, caused by the collapse of all of the individual AT Fields. The ending also implies that because everyone suffered an AT Field collapse as opposed to exploding that it might be possible for them to come back the same way that Asuka and Shinji did.
That would make for an interesting book, but if the technology got to that point and there really was nothing there then either there would be a cover up (e.g. "An accident occurred and one of the lunar satellites deorbited on the site of the original Apollo landings, more at 11:00.") or it would be far enough in the future that nobody would really care that much (e.g. "They did it to prove a point during the Cold War, this has no impact on us today."). Or for that matter, they could do what happens these day, you hear a sound bite and that's the end of it.
It may be a niche language, but it's still really good in areas where safety is a concern. The 777 uses it for the control software - http://www.adaic.org/atwork/boeing.html
In all honestly I'm not the most fully versed person on the Spanish Inquisition and the like; however, I've read a number of historical texts in regards to the Spanish Inquisition and the use of torture in general and it's not that uncommon to come across temperature letters that were written questioning the use. Also, it was usually well observed that there were those that did torture because they had to for any of a number of reasons and those that relished the thoughts of being able to torture someone. In some cases you find that the people attracted to certain roles would be the ones that where the most willing to preform torture.

Might not have been the front yard. In Japan it's actually unusually to have a dryer so people will dry their clothing outside on a patio or balcony.
Then couldn't they setup a HIT job to check to see if the flagged HITs are spam or not?

Or Buddhist for that matter, they use a manji (i.e. swastika) to make temples on maps in Japan.

3. Someone at another company reads your paper and offers you a job.
4. Profit!

To be fair, a regional president is likely more important than some of the other people that claim to have been abducted.
