You'd have to be both racist and ignorant of the iPhone to think that Chinese workers can't produce quality goods; like anyone else, they build to the specs that are given to them and standards that are expected of them.
Indeed. I have a pair of Chinese made (English) Wharfedale loudspeakers I got about 9-10 years ago and they are beautiful. Interesting thing is that there is not any indication either on the boxes or the user leaflet saying where they are made. They appear to be made to Wharfedale's specs, and that's the point - if no particular quality is specified then often made-in-China stuff is rubbish. One notable exception is AFAIAC is a Rigol DS2072 oscilloscope that I bought. Very nice. http://www.rigolna.com/ Hackable too -> http://www.eevblog.com/forum/t...

My father told me they were using coconut juice in PNG during WW2. The idea was that seeing the patient wasn't competing in a triathlon they could temporarily get by with a lot less blood cells; the important thing was that there was enough liquid volume circulating, albeit diluted. Not enough volume means your heart starts sucking bubbles, then it's all over, red rover.
If it is made entirely of non-blood components I would have no objection. Same goes for non-blood volume expanders such as Haemaccel, Saline, Ringers Lactate, Dextran, etc.
At least if some politician gets injured or killed because of the failure of some feature of the car (think Toyota sticking throttles, Ford Pinto gas tanks etc) then it won't get swept under the carpet like it might if it happened to some ordinary person.
Yeah,I get Silicon Chip in my letterbox every month. A good hands-on magazine for people who like to make electronic stuff. And not just lame flashing lights either. Get a load of these past projects -> http://www.siliconchip.com.au/...
Churches spent a lot of time and effort to dissuade people from reading the Bible back in the day. William Tyndale http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Tyndale, John Wycliffe http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Wycliffe and Jan Hus http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Hus in particular were considered enemies of the church because of their efforts to put the Bible in the hands of ordinary people. Clearly there is stuff in the Bible that churches really don't want you to know about. Stuff that condemns them in no uncertain manner. My favourite is in Revelation chapter 17, the stated end of religion (the Great Harlot) at the hands of political powers (the Ten Horns). That day can't come soon enough.
Indeed. And for those that don't agree with an author's point of view doesn't mean you shouldn't read and so make yourself better informed as to why you hold a differing view.
If that water underneath the ice made it possible that the entire sheet of ice could slide off in one go, that would make projections of melting time somewhat irrelevant. Might just nead a bit of an earthquake to get things moving...
...is whether it can detect Apollo 11 mission stuff on the moon. That would shut a few mouths. The Hubble telescope lacks sufficient resolution in the visible light range.
Do you know what a Saint is and why Catholics pray to them?
A better question might be why do Catholics in fact pray to saints?
If they actually read the Bible they would be familiar with Jesus' words when he said "When you pray, say, 'Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy." Luke 11:2. There is no room there for praying to anyone else. If they were addressing a saint they would be disregarding the words of the one they claim to follow.
The Catholic Church has a long history of torturing and killing people for daring to peer into the Bible, and worse, teaching it to others. That being the case, it logically means a/ they hadn't succeeded in changing it's contents as some people claim, and b/ as a consequence there is stuff in it they really really really don't want people to see. Hence they parade a long list of relics, saints, statues, pictures, supposedly "holy" men, and whatever else they can think of to keep the attention of the faithful away from the book they hate.
It would be great to see a line of 100 cars all beginning move forward at the same instant instead of stretching out, and you moving forward only after the light has turned red again. Much greater throughput at the intersection. Also it opens the possibilities of a long line of cars safely tailgating, therefore slipstreaming one another and saving fuel. Being out at the front of the line would no longer be desirable.
Of course!
I was illustrating what I see as a parallel where someone expresses a minority opinion amongst a group having a contrary point of view.
In the meantime, I got to thinking what the response around here would have been if the man in the original post had wanted to wear 1/ a Windows hat, or 2/ a Linux hat? 1/ridicule? 2/support?
Religion is a form of governance and population control which cannot be criticized because "peoples feelings will be hurt" or the critic might get shot
Makes me think of when a religious person posts an opinion on Slashdot.
How in the world do atheists "worship" communism or capitalism?
Millions of them have have sworn allegiance to a piece of cloth fluttering in the breeze. So very similar to those who bow and scrape before a statue. Many of them have given their lives for whom the statue or flag represents while killing those who put faith in a different statue or flag.

According to national Geographic, raw human excrement, aka poop, is commonly used as crop fertilizer. Yum. http://news.nationalgeographic...

Make the magic pill available only to those that switch exclusively to desktop Linux and stay there.
Slashdot Beta = Unity desktop. 'nuff said.

Maybe hydrogen is just too thin and whispy, to the extent that the read/write heads won't fly far enough above the disk surface?

Like the USA which has "In God we trust" on their currency.
Or Britain which has as it's flag the crosses of three saints.
