but you can't stop other people writing about the event or newspapers reprinting the photo
Except that you can. There's already been at least one case where a court used the "right to be forgotten" to ban people writing about an event or reprinting a photo:
Indeed, part of the reason McDonald's patties taste so horrible is, ironically, that they're too healthy. Years of campaigning by public health groups has led to McDonald's using a ridiculously low fat and sodium content in their burgers, which results in them tasting bland and rubbery.
That was my point. The "even though" makes it sound like asking a teacher about something you haven't gotten to yet contradicts being intelligent, when it actually reenforces it.
because he seems to be, even though he admittedly found it necessary to ask his math teacher for information on vectors
"even though"? Are you somehow under the impression most smart people personally rederive the entire field of mathematics from scratch without any outside instruction?
The building currently doesn't have an HVAC system, which means that it's not up to current building codes. The charity wouldn't be able to get an occupancy permit from the city.
Part of the problem with this article is that the authors are making a vertical comparison and assuming it's a horizontal comparison. That is, they're comparing the way they play with legos as an adult (where they tend to buy a model they like, put it together, and use it as a sculptural decoration) to the way the played with legos as a kid (free form imagination play) and assume that means todays kids must have changed as well.
But when we're all huddled into a dark building hoping Dr. Carl "Legend" June doesn't drag us off for use in bizarre medical experiments to cure the plague he ended up accidentally creating, will you still think this is a good idea?
Paying pilots more will attract more pilots at the same time discouraging customers due to increased ticket prices. At some point the two trends will intersect and there will no longer be a pilot shortage. Problem solved.
They can work to change the judicial selection process. The purpose of the courts is essentially anti-democratic: cases are supposed to be decided based on the law, not on which outcome will be most popular with the general public. It's a bad idea then to have judges constantly having to run for elections as this creates an incentive to bias their rulings against unpopular parties and for popular ones.
You should see some of the flag poles around here. Besides the US flag, you often see the flags for Pennsylvania and Montgomery County as well. I never knew we were such a hotbed of secessionism.
So you want to eliminate the phone companies' common carrier status and establish a precedent that they're responsible for monitoring the content of communications transmitted over their network, determining whether they're legal or not, and blocking any communications which might be illegal?
Oh yeah, that couldn't possibly come back to bite consumers in the ass.
So "the liberals on the US Supreme Court" = O'Connor, Renquhist, Scalia, and Thomas and "right wingers" = Stevens, Kennedy, Souter, Ginsburg, and Breyer?
My hunch was specious as it was based only on the idea that its orbit is perfectly matched with its rotation speed (aka tidally locked)
All satellites will eventually become tidally locked to the body they're orbiting. The larger bodies gravity distorts the satellite so that is elongated toway whatever it is orbitting. If the satellite is rotating faster than it's revolving, this bulge has to move along the surface of the satellite, and this flexing gradually drains momentum, slowing it's rotation rate until the bulge becomes stationary.
For example, the length of a solar day on earth increases roughly.002 seconds each century.
If you read the acutal law, SB 367, it does not authorize natural gas drilling on college campuses. In fact it specifically exempts them, as well as all state nature preserves:
"State-owned land." Land owned by the Commonwealth. The term does not include State system land or land owned and administered by the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission or the Pennsylvania Game Commission.
It does, however, permit the state to make a right of way through a state college to reach natural gas wells located some place else, but I guess "Pennsylvania Fracking Law Opens Up Roads on College Campuses" doesn't sound nearly as sentational.
I think Chick-Fil-A is an unethical company too. Does that mean that open source web browsers should be refuse to resolve URLs pointing to their domain? He is basically arguing that the functionality of Linux should be limited based on what people wish to do with it (in this case buy things from Amazon). That is, in fact, a betrayal of the principles of free software, which apparently now take a back seat to Stallman's other political interests.
If that's how he feels, than fine, but then it needs to be recognized he's no longer advocating FOR free software.
Amazon was a member of ALEC. ALEC is the right-wing lobbying group that promotes voter-suppression laws and "shoot first" laws, as well as attacks against wages and working conditions in the US. Amazon quit ALEC after public pressure in May 2012, but I am sure it still seeks the same nasty policies that ALEC advocated and is waiting for a new tool to achieve them.
Even if we accept Stallman's rather innacurate description of ALEC's activities, neither campaign finance, gun rights, or minimum wage laws have anything to do with the free software movement. Stallman's belief to the contrary, Linux is not his personal political hobby horse.
Small earthquakes can't CAUSE large earthqakes. There's a certain amount of potential energy that builds up in a fault line over a given time period that can be released by earthquakes. Every earthquake (caused by fracking and that wouldn't have occured otherwise) leaves less energy available for naturally occuring earthquakes.

Humans are already assembled from raw materials over the course of about nine months...
Microsoft OSs are like Star Trek Films, the alternate between good ones (Win 95, Win 98, XP, Win 7) and terrible ones (Bob, Win ME, Vista, Win 8).
...people with art degrees have such a hard time finding employment.

Because the started as rotating balls of dust that gradually compacted into solid objects. This causes them to form into roughly spherical objects.

The book that most significantly impacted my life, as well as being the best book I've ever read, is House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski.
I do not advise others to read it though, as it will suck out your soul and leave an empty shell of a person.
