Yeah, I wish they would have said something like: "...developed the 160-kilobit memory cell say it has a bit density of 100 gigabits per square centimeter"
There is no error bar. If they did not take a sample, there is absolutely, positively no "error". We only get this error when we take a sample to represent a larger whole.
Now, if you argue that they are off base using this to determine that "social status" was the result of this longer lifespan, I will agree. Using 500 folks to make a determination about the six billion people on earth, is ridiculous.
How is this redundant when this post got +4 when posted two minutes later. Mods: Just because it is further down the list doesn't mean it was posted later.
I voted for Bush the first term. I receive information still from RNC because I have supported them in the past. If you cannot see his mishandling of finances, then you have issues with reality.
"Anonymous coward will not stop molesting badgers"
Since the Anonymous coward never molested badgers in the first place, the above headline is correct. Simply because something is technically correct does not mean it is misleading. You might want to look at the difference between "mislead" and "lie" in the dictionary. Kind of reminds me of the RNC fund raising letter where "Bush cuts deficit 40% in two years". Factually correct, but does not mention that Bush caused the deficit in the first place.
Take two groups: One has first gone through this "virtual torturing", the other is the control group. After this, each group will actually torture a volunteer in the same manner. Would the first group have less of an emotional response than the control group? I am sure there are many wrinkles to work out in the methodology, but this would be interesting to see the result of media on human response. It should pretty effectively answer who is right (or how right each side is) in this debate.
... to establish colonies in Science Fiction books and on NASA proposals. Seriously. I grew up with the dream of colonies in space, and cheap space flight. Space flight has only gotten more expensive, and our national will to make this dream come true has dropped to near zero. After hearing about plan after plan, and seeing nothing come of it, you get jaded.
I hope I am wrong, but am willing to bet we won't have anything except the ISS (if we have even that) by 2020. The only possible exception might be if the Chinese put up something similar to ISS... but even that will be a far cry from anything we are talking about today (or twenty years ago).
Nah. It just sounds like you are about five years behind the "cool curve". Remember "Extreme" being put on the front of every product? If you do that now, you get laughed at. "Freedom" is so 2002.
Who the fuck got this past whatever committee was reviewing design specs, and why haven't they been clubbed to death like a baby seal?
When the entire OS relies on the last three characters of a filename to handle filetypes, did nobody think this was a bad idea?
ROFL. Bad design? Sure. However, this concept dates so far back and is so entrenched that I don't see it going away any time in the next decade. So the "design specs" you are referring to are non-existent, or simply say "make it compatible with the way the world has been doing things forever".
So what about someone like me in the banking industry? You have any idea how long and hard the auditors will bitch if there isn't a separation of duties? Technically the developers are not to have ANY access to the production environment above that of an end user. (operative word being technically)

Errrm... about sixty years in the case of the "Communist" Soviet Union. Hardly "eventually".

How can I get one for my cubicle? A few mods, and it could be my APHBM. If you can't figure out what the acronym is, you probably are a PHB.
The Bible does too... but I imagine we can just categorically ignore that source, right? ;)

This article is my answer to them.

You misread. It is ISS 6.0. However, it is still in beta. Google corporate culture taking over already.

I wish my nintendo DS did this, so I could play metroid at work.
And if you could disguise it to look like a cash register, your customers would have no idea you weren't ringing up their Happy Meal.
For an example of the wisdom of the masses, just look here. If that doesn't convince you, I do not know what will.

The developers need to own the entire product,

Other then that
