BMI says that I don't stop being fat until I get down to 180 lbs.. At 180 lbs. I would be 11% body fat. So, according to the "Experts", as well as the system that the general public uses, I am fat if I have 12% body fat, and I don't classify as underweight with -28 lbs. of body fat. Yes, that is negative.
For the 10 years that Arnold Schwarzenegger was Mr. Olypia, he was classified not only as "overweight" aka "fat" but as "obese". Yeah, yeah, I've heard the whole, "Yeah, but that is only for body builders" BS. That logic says that if you have 20 lbs of fat but under that fat, you have the build of Mr. Olypia, you are morbidly obese. It is a bizarre cognitive dissonance.
I hope they have a good explanation of the difference between a magazine and a book, because non-fixed media magazines with changing ads are incredibly common. Of course, I've read several books online with ads in them also, so either way, the prior art in this is massive and common.
If they really wanted to get fancy, they would figure out a way to modify the tuna so that the mercury would collect in a particular organ. That way, the muscle would have very little, and the mercury enriched organ could be treated as an ocean cleaning apparatus.
With SDXC released, Blu-Ray as a physical medium is already obsolete. Being able to drop your movie and still watch it after you pick it up is a HUGE benefit.
It only correlates to being over weight when it is extremely high. I'm 5'11" and 210 lbs. I am fatter than you, but you can also see my top two layers of abs. According to BMI I am JUST under obese. Two days ago, it said I was obese. Based on my impedance scale, and the military waist measurement technique, my body fat is 159 lbs of lean mass. According to BMI I would still be of normal weight at 132 lbs.. That is -27 lbs of fat. It says that my 'ideal weight is 165 lbs. That is 1% body fat. My body type might not be "average", but it certainly isn't all that unusual. For BMI to be 'average', there have to be just as many people on the side where BMI tells them they are just fine when in fact they are truly over weight. Most people just take the 'authorities' word for what is correct and what isn't.
BMI is not only inaccurate, it is down right dangerous.
Social networking between people that are not content creators (most people) inherently includes massive use of other peoples creations. Saying that a social networking video site is not the same thing as a pirate site is pretty much semantics.
(b) the system can be designed to automatically shut off the beam if the satellite ever goes off-target.
This way of discribing it is probably part of why so many people have an irrational fear of it. They might understand it a little better if we said "(b) the system can be designed to require a constant signal from the ground station to stay running." Or something like that. They all keep thinking that the default state of this device would be 'ON' and that it would require an 'OFF' command to shut it down in an emergency. They don't get that I would likely be built with a default state of 'OFF', and require a constant 'ON' command to be able to keep transmitting.
Bzzzt. You are in a dream world if you think that only having sex with your wife for the purposes of procreation means you are not at risk of STDs. People are whores. Various studies where women ADMITTED to extramarital affairs range from 14% to 50%. That is not even factoring in the frequency of women who simply lie. So, if your counting on monogamy on your part to save you, you might be in for a nasty surprise.
This may sound harsh, but most of these people took jobs as human shields. When you take a job where you know you are going to be pissing people off, and you are the primary contact with the people that are getting pissed, you have to expect to have people pissed at you. I'm not saying that the job of Human Shield is not a crappy job, but when you get a job in a cell phone store, you are definitely taking the job of Human Shield.
I have to disagree. Maybe you come from a different part of the country than I do (California), but at least here, the fundamentalists have virtually no power, and our schools system is as much of a disgrace as any where. The problems here are not fundamentalists. It is that the nanny state realized that if you want to capture the minds of the people, it is best to indoctrinate them when they are young. What we have is an orphanage state. From the fact that most children spend more waking hours in the care of the state than their biological 'parents'. To the fact that an increasing number of children are fed more meals by the state than by their 'parents'. To the fact that social promotion is the standard. The list of problems goes on and on. Most of the end up surrounding the fact that the public education is a sacred cash cow. Heck, just this week, people were defending my complain that schools who claim to be underfunded in my city can afford to maintain very fancy stadiums and one even has an amusement park style water slide.
Fundamentalist are not even on the radar with the problems here.
Given that complaints about spell are the internet equivalent of saying "You are absolutely correct, and I have nothing further to add, so I will complain about spelling.", Thanks. Although, are you really sure you want to complain about spelling in a joke that consists of smashing 18 words into on long spaceless string? The must be someone on Slashdot that has something more deserving of your unequivocal endorsement.
Heck, you could just create an account on IAmAfriedToComeOutOfTheClosetBecauseItWillKeepMeFromGettingAJob.com and then when they don't hire you for whatever reason, you sue them. Heck, add in accounts to MyGreatGrandfatherWasHalfKoreanHalfBlack.org, MyGrandmotherIsAnImmegrant.net, LivingWithACatholicFatherAndHinduMother.org and LivingWithNonVisableDisabilites.net.
Maybe Jesus was all happy hugs and kisses, but his dad, the guy that the Jesus worshipers believe is the real power, and the one with the ultimate say in all things, demands his followers be prepared to wage war, kill those that are different, rape, pillage, plunder, and murder their own children as human sacrifices.
Claims of Jesus's endorsement of piece and love doesn't give much comfort when he is only the SON of God. It's not like there would be any chance of him gaining the throne. It's documented how usurpers are handled after all.
California even prior to the current budget crisis had among the highest student to teacher ratios in the nation. Moreover their funding per student is among the lowest in the nation.
That statement leaves me with two options. Assume that you are an idiot, or assume that you are lying. Claiming that education is underfunded and there are too many students in a classroom because the state has the most students per room and the lowest funding of the 50 states is like claiming that Mensa is failing because Joe has the lowest IQ in the room. Taking a ranking where someone must be at the bottom and claiming there is a problem because someone is on the bottom is either ignorant or dishonest. By your logic, if California had 2 students per classroom and spent 100k a year per student, and every other state had one student per room and spent 110k per year per student, California education would be underfunded.
Teacher pay is typically higher in California, BUT not in proportion to the cost of living in the state.
According to your own link..
California's average of $54,348 was nearly $10,000 higher.
While $54k a year is not going to make you rich, it is certainly a reasonable salary in a state where the Mean Income is $48K a year. Of course you use 7 year old data to try to make your point. With today's data, the Mean yearly salary is $62k a year. That is well over 20% above the state's average. This is for a part time job no less. (No, don't try to tell the lie that teachers work 12 hours a day and don't get summers off.) That means they are making the same hourly pay as people who make in excess of $80k a year.
With all the complaining about pay I hear from teachers though, it would seem that very few of them have enough of a basic math education to figure out how much money they make. Of course, if you can't figure out that your hourly pay is over twice the state average, it is more likely that their financial troubles are more from personal financial mismanagement than underfunding.
That is an old and poor scam that schools use. Even if the waterslide was installed by a fundraiser, the maintenance and upkeep including heating the pool is not. Besides the fact that the school spends significant resources paying for the management of many of these fundraiser that pay for crazy stuff like waterslides and stadiums.
Most of the schools in California are closing because they have few students. Yes, there is less money being spent on fewer students, but claiming that the schools are closing because of improper funding is a strawman at best. Heck, the single largest line item in the California budget is education. One of the schools here in my town has a damn water slide. Yes, a three story amusement park style water slide in a public school. That is NOT a problem with underfunding.
Here is a reason. Humanity as a group has decided that population control is bad. Yes, some groups have advocated it and even tried to do something about it, but as a whole, humans have decided it is bad. Thus, going 'there' is the only path to move forward.

And as for you sig, when was the last time you lost "the cloud" or "the cloud" broke?
That would be last night, which was the last time I was more than a dozen yards from my home.
How about a more realistic comparison. How many people scan and print their own football cards?

Sorry, the providers had no illusions that people were not going to try to use phone as a modem. This isn't 1982 after all.
Seriously, it is stupid for people to think that their "unlimited" plan is "unlimited". Who do they think they are?!?!?!?
