Title X dollars do not go to abortion clinics. They fund STD testing, contraceptives, lab work, etc. The funding of abortions is expressly prohibited by the act. In a time when roughly half of our annual pregnancies are unplanned, cutting Title X dollars will actually INCREASE abortions due to reducing the availability of contraceptives. Duh.
Initially, the slime mold dispersed evenly around the oat flakes, exploring its new territory. But within hours, the slime mold began to refine its pattern, strengthening the tunnels between oat flakes while the other links gradually disappeared. After about a day, the slime mold had constructed a network of interconnected nutrient-ferrying tubes. Its design looked almost identical to that of the rail system surrounding Tokyo, with a larger number of strong, resilient tunnels connecting centrally located oats. “There is a remarkable degree of overlap between the two systems,” Fricker says.
My old roommate and I once hacked up a remote starter for his car using an old cell phone. To avoid exactly this problem, I just used the phone's ability to only ring/vibrate for specific contacts.
Babies are a good example of this, but I think that the human brain is just good at teaching itself stuff. Why can't we build a mechanism without always solving the perceived problem? Our brain has evolved to learn and use stuff, so we shouldn't always forget about the simple decisions. And stuff.
Is it my imagination, or do people focus on the side effects of their perceived area of interest a little too often? There's always a simpler and more useful way to get something done while simultaneously making future decisions easier. In a strategic sense, of course. Not that I have an opinion about anything...
Carry on.
From what I understand of evolutionary theory, that's not really accurate. It takes the correct mutations to eliminate organs that no longer serve any purpose. As long as they don't provide any disadvantage, they're not going to be eliminated from the gene pool.
My understanding of natural selection is that genes naturally decay through incremental mutations. If a mutation is detrimental to the organism's survival, then it will not be passed on to future generations. Traits that no longer serve a purpose will decay because there is no pressure to preserve them; mutations will be passed down along with the healthy genes. Over time, the mutations build up and the trait will fade away.
A good example of this is the sense of smell. Most animals have a very keen sense of smell relative to humans. Animals with a dull sense of smell will be less likely to detect predators, and they will die. We humans live in such a way that there aren't any environmental pressures that make smell key to survival. People without a keen sense of smell are at no greater risk of death and the cycle of decay continues.

Sure, great solution. I don't like annoying radio ads either, so I think I'll just punch out my speakers...
Actually, this is the real world. In this real world, clients/supervisors always have arbitrary constraints. Creativity is working within their shackles and still producing a great product. CmdrTaco said that entries aren't required to incorporate the current design elements, but that's what he is looking for. I'm sure if one of the entries ignored his desire but turned out to be fantastic anyway, it would still get some consideration.
CBS was a little late on this one... This story stormed the internet around August/September of last year, and I found articles about it dated May 2005. They bought a K-1 Kit car and modified it to run a 1.9L VW biodiesel engine for the back tires and electric for the front. It's called "The Hybrid Attack" and it won the hybrid and alternative fuel category in the 2005 Tour de Sol.
I suppose you put all of your paperwork in the same hanging-file as well? I don't know about you, but I actually like to use my computer. I routinely have 10 different application windows open at once, and I would probably freak out and start beating my dog if I had another 20 browser windows open. Tabbed browsing is nice because I can open and close tabs with middle-click, and I can actually read the titles of my application windows. Also, if I'm chasing down pages on multiple topics, I can open a new window for each group of tabs. Logical organization is desirable to many people. If you don't like it, don't open new tabs.
DON't BUY ANYTHING COMING FROM THAT EVIL COMPANY, WHO'S INTERESTS ARE ONLY SELF-CENTERED...
A corporation that is focused on profit? That can not stand! I can't believe those theives at Microsoft have the audacity to act in the interest of their company! Boycott the free market!!
I'm sorry to vent like this, but we're miles off topic anyway... I love how so many people get up in arms whenever an article has been posted somewhere else first... I'm not sure if you've noticed, but the readers submit the articles. The articles link back to a source! The/. editors don't write the news, they only provide a clearinghouse for information. Get over yourself.
If you want to get bitchy over reposts, then you have slightly more ground to stand on, but it's still pretty damn petty. You should just read the articles, participate in the discussion, and stop crying.
So you're telling me that if I prepend a file name with "$sys$" it will be nearly undetectable? Finally! An easy and effective way to hide my pr0n. I can't wait to buy this CD

Sure, using a painfully obvious word to generate a strong password sounds great, but then you still have to protect the card like you would any other written record of your passwords. Assume somebody steals your wallet and gains access to your laminated card. Now it's easy for them to either guess your passwords, or even write a program to brute force using the rules on your card...
My solution is a little more secure. I just remember my passwords, which is a skill that just takes a little bit of practice. I generate a 10-12 character password such as U8#.eb_2vcEm and after even after only typing it four or five times, I am able to recall it quickly using my muscle memory. I can't recite a single one of my passwords verbally, but my fingers will type all of them perfectly every time.
It's not like I'm some kind of password-savant; it's just conditioning. I'm one of the people that actually practices good password security instead of crying about it. Because of this, my personal security policy is stronger than the company that I work for, and I have to simplify my passwords for work. (What kind of tech company limits you to ten characters??)

It's fun and it's a challenge. What else do you need?
Reminds me of this: http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2010/01/slime-mold-grows-network-just-like-tokyo-rail-system/
Some researchers placed food sources in the same configuration as Tokyo Rail stations and then introduced a slime mold. From TFA

naming it "Wii" is like naming your kid Richard when your last name is Head; you're just gimping them unnecessarily from the start.
Well, Harry Richie's Jewelers Seems to be doing pretty well for itself.

So, Intel's new 65nm process is better than their older processes? Weird...
Yeah? What's your point? This happened five years ago...
