Even if it is arbitrary, we can use it for synchronization as long as every relies on it as the standard.
FTA: "If we've learned anything in the last 60 years of building atomic clocks, we've learned that every time we build a better clock, somebody comes up with a use for it that you couldn't have foreseen," says physicist Steven Jefferts, lead designer of NIST-F2.
Exactly, this will be the standard for all other time standards. Just like they have their standard kilogram stored in a vault in france for reference: http://www.wired.com/2013/01/k...
I disagree. A better method may be to use the profits for lowering educational fees for students or developing more research, instead of accepting tax payer money. However, I would like to see scientific papers released for free.
While I find this very interesting, there are chess puzzles which have been categorized for a long time now in different levels. Of course chess is a 'dependent' puzzle where each move must be made in sequence. I imagine there are many other puzzles which have different (accurate) difficulty levels. I may be missing something here.
The whole point of freedom of speech is to allow people you disagree with to say (or write) what they want. If the westboro church can protest soldier funerals, this ruling should be a no brainer. The search engine is writing the search results in a biased way but the judge has ruled that is free speech. Fine with me... now back to searching on google.
"The last order instructed us to take down an account accusing a former minister of corruption. This order causes us concern. Political speech is among the most important speech, especially when it concerns possible government corruption. That’s why today we have also petitioned the Turkish court on behalf of our users to reverse this order.
While we contest the order, we are using our Country Withheld Content tool on the account in question, the first time we’ve used it in Turkey, as well as on several Tweets based on the public prosecutor’s request regarding the safety of an individual. The tool allows content to be withheld in a specific jurisdiction while remaining visible to the rest of the world."
I agree with you and so would my father. His research has shown many techniques to be no better than the placebo effect and in some cases actually harmful to the patient. However, there have been a few effective techniques for specific disorders that are actually better than typical mainstream responses because there are fewer side effects or less invasive or a cheaper treatment option.
"No, you have to be kidding me. Every single person who signed this petition needs to go back to check their premises and think harder about what it means to be honest, factual, truthful.
Wikipedia's policies around this kind of thing are exactly spot-on and correct. If you can get your work published in respectable scientific journals - that is to say, if you can produce evidence through replicable scientific experiments, then Wikipedia will cover it appropriately.

Personally, my father is a professor researching the effectiveness of 'alternative medicine', specifically massage & chiropractic techniques for back pain versus pain killers. His research has shown it's effective for back pain, but it's still called alternative medicine right now. What it won't do is cure cancer. And this petition is for 'energy work', which I find very unlikely to be any more successful than a placebo.
I did indeed. I reread it, and I think the wiki is wrong for the SK portion. South Korea has banned specific accounts but not the whole site: http://www.theguardian.com/tec...

What were the details of the skype bug? I'm curious how you found it.
What does that come out to, about $300 for a severe bug? I thought Microsoft just paid out $100k for a Windows 8 flaw.
You're right, my apologies.
I think you mean old Sumerians unit of measure.

It originated with the ancient Sumerians in the 3rd millennium BC,
They are trying to fix it to something but right now it is just a weight.
Kilograms are a weight.

That's a good point. I wasn't thinking about classified materials.
" Many of the articles are decades old, and some go back to the late 1970's" Isn't it a book about WWII?

How about for once we get some posts on time & edited well, wouldn't that be hilarious!
What was the replacement? Donor blood?

Your coke snorting with hookers video was pretty awesome, any new ones coming out soon?
However WITHOUT parental permission, that's the important part.
They sure as hell intimidated her for the pwd.
Apparently she was complaining about a teacher's aid... at home, not in school. I haven't seen anything more specific.
