. I know, I set up a media center PC and a usenet scraper
I have to ask, what do you scrape to find shows? I'm trying to set up something similar with SABnzbd+ and reading custom-created RSS feeds from nzbmatrix, but I'm not clever enough to set up search terms for the RSS feeds such that I don't get a bunch of duplicates.
Are there RSS feeds somewhere of nzbs that are "hand-picked" or something like that. If I want to download a show I don't want to end up with 5 different version getting downloaded, nor do I want to miss one if I specify a "scene" group name in the search term and they don't release the episode that week (but someone else does).
They have two spare capsules up there, each of which can hold 3 people, so they can bring all 6 station crew down without sending anything up from Earth.
s there a lock on the door? I know it's far-fetched, but assuming someone had the capability - what would keep some 'rouge' entity (nation or otherwise) from launching themselves into orbit, occupying the thing and... well... at worst, de-orbiting it into a population center or at best causing a huge political embarrassment - say, by claiming the thing as their own?
True, but we could blow it out of the sky with a missile. It would make a big ol' could of debris, but at least gigantic chunks wouldn't survive re-entry (I assume).
They just had an ex-astronaut on NPR yesterday talking about how they'd have to evacuate the ISS by mid-November if Soyuz craft weren't flying again by that time.
The ex-astronaut said that was a REALLY short time-frame for an investigation to be conducted and corrections to be made, so he was quite fearful that we'd have to leave the ISS unmanned.
(a) This is an American site, so we use American units.
(b) Circumcision is not child abuse. It offers many many benefits and almost 0 drawbacks. I am circumcised, as is my son. I'd make the same decision again in a heartbeat.
The point is that people kill for the basest reasons, and come up with an excuse to rationalize it. Sometimes, the excuse is religion. Sometimes it's spreading democracy.
Yes, and sometimes it's because someone stole your bagel.
I'm guessing the religion excuse is several orders of magnitude more common than the others you provide.
People with Robertsonian translocations have only 45 chromosomes in each of their cells, yet all essential genetic material is present, and they appear normal. Their children, however, may either be normal and carry the fusion chromosome (depending which chromosome is represented in the gamete), or they may inherit a missing or extra long arm of an acrocentric chromosome. Genetic counseling and genetic testing is offered to families that may be carriers of chromosomal translocations.
We didn't lose DNA. Two chromosomes fused producing the human chromosome #2. We can evaluate the genes around the fusion site to show that genes were conserved. If you analyze the sequence of our chromosome #2, you can find a "fossil centromere" and a "fossil telomere."
About one human in 1,300 has a fusion of chromosomes 13 and 14, and shows no symptoms. Chromosomal fusion is not mysterious, but some people like making it seem more unusual than it is.
Or if we don't all descend from a common source (the rest having died or being killed off), does that give weight to racist arguments that blacks and whites are separate species?
There is more genetic variation between ethnic tribes of sub-Saharan Africans (all very "black") than there is between any two other out-of-Africa humans. So the genetic differences between an Irishman and a Mongolian are much smaller than between two very similar-looking "black people".
Ummm... what about us that don't have a smartphone and don't want one? The data plan is much more than any texting plan (thought not by as much now).
You don't need one. I got a GV number before I had a smartphone and did a ton of texting from the browser on my computer. I do most of my texting via full keyboard/computer even though I have an Android phone now.
I mean, think about it. You have no outlook in life, you have no hope for progress, no hope to better your lot, and the "threat" you're facing is jail time? Compared to having what you else never will have?
Agreed.

Really? Then how does any business in the world get off the ground? You can't exactly buy that $1M machine to turn out widgets when you're starting up...which is where LOANS come in.
Or do you want to wait 12 years to save up enough $ to buy the car you need to commute to your new job that starts next week?

Slashdot tends to run heavily Liberal, so all the stupid ignorant stuff the Democrats do either gets ignored or attributed to the system as a whole.
Since when are Democrats liberal in any way, shape, or form?
I just saw it, and I wouldn't take a 5-year-old. It's pretty violent in a lot of places, and features a guy going through a propeller at high speed so that he's turned to a pink mist (well, more like red chunks). My wife gasped at that. A lot of people get shot with real guns; it's not just people getting vaporized by ray guys.
I'm not squeamish about violence at all in movies, but it was too intense for a 5-year-old, imho. And yes, I'm a Dad.

. I still hate OSX and IOS for being so restrictive and toy-like
I obviously agree on iOS, but OS X?? What the heck is toy-like about it? It's UNIX for christsakes.

I told her that she should not be working in a call center, she should be an entrepreneur with a more direct relationship with customers.
Do you have $100K to loan her to start a business? No?
It's not so easy as you make it sound...

To those that say HFT is an anathema to the economy, I think there is some merit, but there are two sides to every story.
Yes, but those two sides do NOT necessarily have equal merit. See the evolution "debate".

OK, I'm pretty sure T-Mobile updated the MyTouch 3G (HTC Magic) all the way to either 2.1 or 2.2
Also, CM supported that phone up to 2.2! And I had 2.3 running on it via YoshiMod.
It was my daily phone up until 2 months ago, great little device!
How the hell is circumcision in any way connected to AIDS?
Getting circumcised greatly reduces your chance of contracting HIV during sex (which is how most HIV is transmitted).
"Reduces by approximately 3-fold the risk of getting
HIV (AIDS), during sex with an infected woman."
