But you pay more for it. I have flown to Japan from the US twice and from Europe twice and every time ANA or JAL was significantly more expensive than their European or American competitors(for the record I've flown United, Continental, Finnair and British Airways). While none of the flights were the seat of luxury, they were certainly bearable. I almost considered ANA last time because it was only $250 more than BA, but I still couldn't rationalize spending that much money for essentially the same service.
For the record, I am 6'2(185 centimeters) and I certainly don't like getting crammed into a seat, but if you stay up all night before you can just spend the entire flight sleeping anyway.
have a majority and don't have to cowtow to the Republicans? I mean, there is such as thing as compromise, but listening to everything the other party says despite the fact that the American people resoundingly rejected said party is just stupid. I know now why the Republican party insists that the Democrats have such a loser mentality. For god sakes, grow some fucking balls!
And the guy who made it is a professor in Japan. Obviously when professors disagree there is only one logical way to determine who is right: round up all your grad students and get them to the Deathball arena!
Because your leader doesn't solely belong to you. One of the central tenets of liberty is that the rights of the minority are protected against the tyranny of the majority. Of course thats a bit abstract and in practice a balancing act, but someone who says that nobody should be allowed to eat pork or drink beer is obviously violating the rights of us beer swilling bacon eaters. And of course the opposite is true, anyone who forces someone to eat pork and/or drink beer(outside of Germany of course:P) is a tyrant and should be deposed.
Plus, in my opinion the depth of your faith is inversely proportional to how much you try to push it on others. If you are really confident that your faith is the true faith, why would you need to force others to follow you? Shouldn't the fact that you can live a peaceful productive life with your faith be enough to convince others that it is the right faith? After all, if your God(s) truly are blessing the pious, then you will be rewarded in spades. On the other hand, if you are forcing others to adopt your faith, you obviously don't believe that is the right faith but instead just want others to suffer with you.
Hush, this is slashdot, truth and reason have NO place here! Where is your sensationalism, where is your "Oh noes, the whole world is out to get me!" type statements. You and your rational arguments should just go and find another home!
I think their main folly is that they don't distinguish between the power necessary to service requests vs. the total power used(which includes all the power it takes to index sites and store the results so they can be fetched quickly etc.) There is a big difference as the power required to index is relatively static and thus doesn't depend on the number of searches. In fact, the power per search using their methodology may actually drop the more searches that are performed because each search's share of the power required for indexing drops.
they failed to account for the amount of carbon saved by searching for porn instead of having sex and potentially creating kids which release tons of carbon.
Their QC process has gone to the toilet(and I suspect Mr. Jobs not wanting to increase staff despite increased projects has something to do with it). 10.5.6 is a giant turd that caps off the pretty shitty release that has been Leopard. Its almost as if Apple just isn't doing quality control on their OS anymore.....
People who don't understand statistics and scientific research methods, but like to pretend they are the smartest people on earth, love to say that phrase, just remember that.
Do you even read American comics? Not dissing Manga, but there are TONS of really great comics that are made in the US and Europe(as wells as elsewhere) that are far from "juvenile". You fanboys do need to get your head out of manga once in a while.....
There seem to be a lot of people who really shouldn't climb it because they aren't nearly as well trained as they think they are, and yet climb it anway..... Thats gotta rank up there for reasons why people die up there.
large groups to do science is simply the cost and complexity of experiments. Nowadays very few groundbreaking experiments can be done in your garage, you need access to expensive machines(and often lots of energy) in order to conduct your research. And since they probably won't hand the keys to the LHC(once its repaired) to some upstart grad student with a new theory, it becomes necessary to spend vast amounts of time "proving" yourself while building the necessary connections to see your experiment come to fruition.
I think this study is partially flawed because they only look at Nobel prize winners, which exclude fields like Mathematics(where no labs are necessary in many cases). If mathematicians are getting older then I would be more inclined to believe their conclusion.

Only 10 bugs huh? So I can just give them one copy of Vista and then I should be set for the next century.
really really drunk.

What will really help this technology take off is if it's able to convert your porn into an LED display. Stick figure porn FTW!
looing at cnn.com,
I mean, I know CNN is bad, but pooping on it? I think that is a bit much.

Hey, my Harry Potter/X-Men/Buffy the Vampire slayer crossover fan fiction is going to make me millions and I need to protect it.

unless you live in the very darkest regions, utterly devoid of streetlighting.
Or you have a shotgun and know where the local transformers are located.....

I thought God was immortal!

I mean, I can post this from my cell phone while walking in the city...sorry what....was I talking.....gotta go, I see something shiny!

Not to mention they leak all over the place and constantly want to make more of themselves

That brings a whole new meaning to the term "standard deviation"
Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all week, try the calamari!
