No, Jobs never denied that Lisa was his daughter, and only gave her mother the equivalent of a welfare check (literally) to support her. However, he later relented and paid for Lisa's education. Apparently, they are quite close now.
Of course, he also named a computer after the poor kid.
Consciousness seems to play a role in this, as it seems our measurement of either the momentum or the position of an electron seems to fundamentally change its properties. It seems that our knowledge of the particle changes the particle.
No, measurement of the particle changes the particle. It doesn't matter if a conscious entity, an unconscious entity, or a machine makes the measurement. Indeed, any object that is capable of absorbing photons at that wavelength will have the same result.
In the original papers describing this phenomenon, the case of an observer making a measurement was merely used as an example of something that could cause waveform collapse.
I can't tell you how many times I have heard a beginner told that "you can't break something", and in 5 minutes they have. And by break, I mean make a change that only an expert user can undo.
The inevitable response from the expert is "well, I didn't expect you to do that!"
When I was a computer science prof, I encountered this problem all the time. It usually boils down to the fact that grad student TA's often only know of one way to solve a problem, and will downgrade if they don't see it. I was always willing to take a second look at these cases.
The student in question should have taken it to the prof.
If they don't want our help, that's fine... but when their citizens continue to attack US interests in international waters, it is within our rights to (1) kill the offending citizens and leave their dead bodies on shore as a warning to other pirates and (2) hold the country's government responsible for the attacks.
And that is the principal problem: there is no government in Somalia. Indeed, Somalia is not a country in any meaningful sense. It is just a geographic region.
That is also why diplomatic initiatives to "help" Somalia is a waste of time. Anything we do to aid the Somalis will end up in the coffers of the gangster warlords who are the only real power there.
At the same time, talk of arming the ships that being targetted by the pirates is silly as they are manned by merchant sailors with no military training. Also, an armed ship would never be allowed into any international seaport to exchange cargo. To me the obvious solution is to have shipping companies provide freighters with armed escort ships, manned with experienced mercenaries. Unlike the huge lumbering freighters, these smaller escorts would have the speed and manouverability needed to deal with pirates.
I don't know where you live, but where I live every multiplex shows a 2D version of each 3D movie. And guess what? It's the 3D version that sells out in the first weekend, never the 2D version.
And a big thank you to Mr. Lucas for bringing post-3D to Star Wars films. The only good that can come of that is that perhaps everyone will finally get the idea that it just can't be done well- if ILM and Lucas can't pull it off it can't be done.
Well, it certainly can be done for all the green-screen images, since they are CG anyway. All they need to do is re-render them from two different "camera angles". And as for the live action in the foreground, Hayden Christensen is a pretty one-dimension actor anyway.
And YES, I am a credited cinematographer and colorist.
Also, the target ship could create a cheap, simple defensive shield by spraying water into the air around the hull. That way, the energy of the billion-dollar friken laser would be dissipated in a cloud of steam, with little if any harm to the target.
I have seen the show in question. Clarkson is clearly suggesting that the Tesla ran out of juice before completing the test, and had to be pushed back to the starting point. Neither is true. Most Brits seeing this would just laugh and think "there goes Clarkson again". But, when the show is rebroadcast on BBC America, most Americans wouldn't get it.
I think that part of the problem is a culture clash. Telling outrageous lies is a common form of humor in Britain, and Clarkson is a master. But this kind of humor is not common in the U.S., where people are generally more gullible.
I haven't seen a 3D movie. I haven't played a 3D game. Not even "old school" 3D movies. I've never seen a 3D anything in my life, except for that hologram cowboy arcade game that was around for awhile in like 1990ish.
You should venture out of your mother's basement once in a while.

Just bookmark https://account.netflix.com/WiViewingActivity. It will take you directly to the recently watched list, just like before.
Best summary I have seen. Gracias.
Which is perfectly true.
What you should really fear is a stupid tax.
If anything, they are exact opposites, at least in the U.S.

It wouldn't be a terraformed planet, or similar, more like a moon...
That's no moon!

Showing your work also demonstrates that you didn't get the answer by having someone else text it to you.

The Martian Manhunter don't need no stinkin scanner.
We could send all the middlemen.
On the other hand, who would sanitize the phones?

A person who only responds to those who disagree with him by means of personal insults only succeeds in making himself look foolish.
You are under 12 years old, aren't you?
Whoosh?

The reason it's so "popular" is because studios can get away with doubling their ticket prices to a 3D movie.
And how could they "get away with it" if the movie-goers weren't willing to pay extra for it?

I see Magic Eyes backwards - the image sinks in instead of popping out. So disappointing.
Did you try standing on your head?
What about the people who are asleep in the theater? They won't enjoy holography, so clearly it should be banned.

Top Gear is not exactly regarded as a pristine example of high journalism on this side of the pond, either.
Which is exactly what I said. Brits laugh, while yanks sue.
