Actually, it's Mack Fraction. He's out to make everyone in the world cool, even if it means taking away things they consider to functionality, because he knows better than anyone how many buttons and ports they need.
Unless you're referring to the New York state constitution, it is. My tax returns for Virginia have included a line asking you to declare all online purchases made in the past year and add the unpaid sales tax to your total. California and several other states do the same. NYers should suck it up. Or simply leave that line blank. Your choice.
100,000 dead Iraqis, you want, look no further than the New England Journal of Medicine, January 31, 2008 issue, pages 484-493. The article is entitled "Violence-Related Mortality in Iraq from 2002-2006
According to the paper's abstract there were several areas where they were not able to survey because of security concerns, and so they took figures from Iraq Body Count, which is very far from what I'd consider a scientific source. On top of that, they figure that the areas they couldn't survey themselves are those where most of the deaths take place, so they weight the IBC figures accordingly. So I'll take these numbers with a grain of salt.
Bottom line is, there isn't enough reliable data to determine how many people have died in Iraq, or how the post-invasion mortality rate compares to the pre-invasion period.
A) The Germans pulled the same thing in WWII, going through the Netherlands, only this time it worked.
B)The Schlieffen Plan got the Germans within 30 miles of Paris before the Brits and French were able to stop them, and that was only because the Germans opened up their flank too much. So the plan almost worked. And even its failure doomed the French to four years of continuous bloody war, all because they didn't try to defend the Belgian frontier until the last moment.
The Soviets didn't have military geniuses in the war -- or rather, they did, but Stalin had them all shot. What they had was lots of cannon fodder. They didn't win because Zhukov was a genius -- they won because he was merely competent but had far more reserves than the Germans.
Your first choice has a one in three chance of being wrong.Your second choice has a 50/50 chance of being wrong.
You're making the same mistake as the OP, just phrasing it differently. This isn't like flipping coins where each play has an independent probability. Your first choice has a 2/3 (not 1/3) chance of being wrong -- which means there's a 2/3 chance that a door you didn't pick is the winner. But there's a 100% that one of the doors you didn't pick is a loser. Monty alway shows you a loser. That means that the odds are still 2/3 that a door you didn't choose is the winner.
Marilyn vos Savant explained the problem in Parade magazine, and a whole bunch of math professors wrote in to tell her that she was wrong
In that case the mathematicians were correct. Vos Savant left out a key criteria when explaining the problem -- that Monty Hall knew what was behind each door and always chose to open one containing the boobie prize. That gives the game a memory and gives the player an advantage in the second part. If Monty just chooses randomly, as Vos Savant's version implied, the mathematicians would be correct.
Canada and Mexico account for 35% of our oil imports. Is that a lot, sure it is. But is it anywhere near most of our oil?
Depends. Are you defining "most" as a majority or plurality? Both are reasonable definitions, and using the latter, most of our oil does come from North American sources.
And on top of that, their Usenet archive has been getting worse and worse ever since they aquired it from DejaNews. Trying to find old messages it a PITA.
What does the law have to do with right and wrong? Going onto someone's driveway and taking pictures which you then publish on the Internet is wrong, regardless of the legality.
Just because the road's on a county map doesn't make it a county road. The road outside my house shows up on Google, but it's owned and maintained by the neighborhood HOA. The driveway in front of the Boring's house was marked as a private road and maintained by them, but it also shows up on Google.
If you won the highest award for programming, you'd get a Wikipedia entry. Heston won the highest award for film acting. So yes, his achievements as an actor are notable, and they are what he's remembered for.
You know, the man starred in over 100 movies, won an Academy Award, was the longest serving president of the Screen Actors Guild, and marched with Martin Luther King on Washington. But all people can do is make jokes about him being in the NRA.
Look at the posts above yours - you can find a picture of the two logos superimposed. One is clearly based on the other.
Sure, if you ignore the bite, the stem, the leaf and the fact that one is composed of a line in a sorta figure-8 and the other isn't, they're exactly alike.

If you'd taught your kids to use birth control, you wouldn't have any reason to complain. Think about that!

I have the signature page in a tab set to reload every 5 seconds. It's climbing between 5 and 10 signatures per reload.

Yeah, acting in films isn't a real achievement. Anyone can do it.
Right.
Incidentally, he did write a film and directed three.
ZOMFG! An actor doesn't agree with all my political views! That disappoints me. People who don't share my outlook on life make me uncomfortable.

What if you post a sign at the bottom of your driveway saying "PRIVATE ROAD," which the couple did.
