"The first A380 was delivered to Singapore Airlines in October — 18 months behind schedule after billions of dollars in cost overruns for planemaker Airbus."
In short, if there's a difference, it's not the sex, it's the sexism. Anyone who can't acknowledge this is a bigot and a twit.
Personally, I will not consider this issue closed until that attitude has been purged.
It sounds like you want to open a scientific discussion by throwing out the null hypothesis, then preemptively denouncing everybody as a bigot just in case they don't see things your way.
Over the last 20 years, it's been unsafe to posit that men and women have different innate abilities. The studies that ARE published tend to land on Slashdot with so much loaded language in the summary that it's clear that the submitter has their own axe to grind. Not exactly lending credibility to TFA.
Hit me up when we're past public denouncements as a research method. I won't be holding my breath.
China invades Taiwan is one scenario where subs win the day.
Russia asserts its ownership claims of the arctic circle is another.
The US can launch a cruise missile attack at any position on earth with zero warning ONLY because we have an effective sub fleet. Long-range missiles launched from surface ships are no substitute since the target government might notice a carrier fleet creeping up to its coast.
In a market for products where price isn't artificially controlled (monopoly, government regulation, etc.), price is often a good proxy for carbon footprint/energy expenditure in production.
Note that those things are rather pricey, so it follows that a lot of resources were used up to make that thing and ship it to the end user.
You have to do the math yourself to add in - or subtract, in this case - the energy used or captured during the life of the product.
I couldn't speak to violence in general, but icasualties.org counts every US casualty by month and the drop-off since the beginning of the surge is astounding - with this month showing the biggest improvement. US casualties last year were 20 per week during July. This year it's been 4.
Pushing nuclear energy has relatively very little do with our dependence on gasoline via crude oil.
The energy market is more fungible than you might think. For example: Nuclear power frees up natural gas to be used in transportation, reducing oil usage. NG cars are here now (Civic-GX). You can buy one today and there are fueling stations all over.
An Even bigger factor: Plug-in hybrid automobiles are also here now and every one of them is reducing our dependence on oil. The biggest problem with them is that their success will kill us if we don't add capacity to our electrical grid. It's already approaching the breaking point in some areas - there's no way California's grid could handle a 6 pm spike from everyone coming home from work, plugging in their cars AND turning on their A/C, but a dozen new nuclear power plants would solve that problem.
it shouldn't need much more than a "webmaster wanted" ad. to have them queuing round the block.
Maybe so, but he probably would have a lot more chaff than wheat. To me, "webmaster" is not only vague, but it would attract a lot of people who know little more than HTML. He probably needs a real programmer. Since he's looking to run a 1-person web development team, he needs someone who knows SQL and js in addition to his language of choice. He probably also needs a smattering of networking and server maintenance skills. Just because his application is a web application it does not necessarily follow that it's simple.
These days a web developer is distinguished from any other developer only by the UI of his users.
I go see a movie with my wife. She covers her eyes during the disgusting/scary parts and tells me to tell her when it's safe to look. How is that any different? By your line of reasoning, I should tell her to "try getting that tree branch out of your ass" and make her open her eyes. The only recourse she should have (according to you) is to leave the theater.
This is a machine I can CHOOSE to buy and I'm telling RCA to fast forward over content that I say I don't want to see. Are you telling me I shouldn't have that right?
The big deal is that Microsoft is finally admitting they're threatened.
Creating marketing material that directly targets OO is quite an admission and they probably resisted doing it as long as possible because simply naming OO like that actually has the negative affect (for MS) of elevating them into the ranks of "serious competitors" - which will make people start talking. It also telegraphs to investors and stock analysts that there may be choppy waters ahead in the Office margins.
Remember, Sun didn't give away OO just to be nice. They did it to make a dent in MS's margins in their #1 cash cow. Looks like it's working.
So sure, that's what their marketing dept is supposed to do, but until now, they'd never needed to. In fact, up until now, the only real competition Office had was Office - pirated.
If you still have that document, just for grins, try opening the doc in openoffice and then save it as RTF. I've had word make some monster rtf's only to have OO reduce it to a third the size or less. To shave more fat off, go into the document properties and deselect APPLY USER DATA.
Although I suppose a 5 meg word file contains some tricky shit and OO won't open it properly anyways, it's always an interesting experiment.

with a bit of bad luck, he ends up loosing money.
That's LOSING not LOOSING!
the A380 was delivered 2 years ahead of the 787
Yeah. Airbus runs a flawless operation.

Dude, I wouldn't argue with anything you wrote, but I signed in just to tell you that you spelled "diluted" 3 different ways, all of them wrong.
You got "undiluted" right, though.

Isn't this just a consequence of prime numbers getting sparser as you climb higher?
i.e, there are 135 primes between 1000 and 2000, and there are 127 between 2000 and 3000.
For some features, specification is just playing catch-up to the implementation.
The world couldn't just sit around and wait for JSON.parse.
That's lose not loose, looser.

To be fair, he did tag it with suddenoutbreakofcommonsense.

I don't see that in the Wired article or the DOE article that wired is using. Would you cite you source?

Seriously, it seems like a non-sequitor to say that there's no classification known as unclassified

Why do you think some of the most religious people are often absolute morons
You're referring to people like Isaac Newton, right? Or perhaps Blaise Pascal, Johann Kepler, Robert Boyle, Michael Faraday, Louis Pasteur...
