Ah, the old Eugenics argument. Now get this: the application of science for bad ends doesn't mean the underlying science itself is necessarily bad (or, indeed good). OK?
Red Nova appears to be a valid news site, and the Princeton University link at the bottom is the real thing, describing just what the article talked about.
I got an as inthe article for a sports bra. In Dutch. If it's supposed to be a serious scinece site, they sure as heck have funny ideas about ad targetting. Mind you, they seem to have funny ideas about what constitutes science too.
it's not compression, it's just a short-to-long-url-mapping that they keep on the server.
It is compression - compression of the unique code - think of it as a serial number - belonging to each link that the site generates. That's why they're tiny urls and not like "www.tinyurl.com/1099787142151413563214385879121". Whether or not the thing being compressed is meaningful in its own right is irrelevant.
They might be right on that second point. Just as the school bully generaly fairs better picking on a 1st grader than a HS Senior,
You hate the bully at school, because he steals your lunch money. So you're pleased as punch when an even bigger bully comes along. Until he steals your lunch money and pounds you in the ass.
so also will the US fair better picking on Iraq or Afghanistan than China or Russia.
If you think China and Russia are some kind of benevolent white knights riding to rescue the world from US oppression, you should maybe ask the Tibetans or the Georgians.
Nothing. However, there is a big difference for individuals using a handheld phone. They are not capable of operationng the car correctly.
Crap. The problem isn't a shortage of limbs, it's a shortage of mental processing power. (I meant with talking on a phone while driving, not with you - but if the cap fits, wear it).
If we're going to bash southern Christians (among whom I am one), let's start with statistics that actually *mean* something.
Is it true that southern churches have two aisles and a centre section, because when people turn up at weddings and the usher asks "Bride's family or groom's?", most of them answer "both"?
And even if it did, it would do some reverse polarity tachyon trick and travel through the resulting diddlydoodlydiscontinuity back to when it was young.
In practice, it's somewhat difficult to separate non-federal funding from federal financing. E.g, previous federal grants may have been used to build and equip a laboratory, necessitating the building of separate, redundant facilities.
Meh. Depreciation is your frieds (and so is amortization).
So assuming that all other parts of the equation are the same, the company is still making more profit after *salary* (excluding other expenses) than it did when it wasn't outsourcing at all.
The other parts of the equation probably aren't the same though: there's the bribes to civil servants, the bribes to the police, to the army, the triads, the scout troop, the local alley-cats...
of the story is: maybe you should get a life and learn the difference yourself.
And you should go fuck yourself, since I do have a life, and I happen to be right. But as we're allowed to make facts up about people we've never met, you're clearly an ossie.

You don't know what usenet is, do you?
Sorry, I just see it trotted out so often to support unworkable meddling like affirmative action and that kind of thing.

Am I the only one to notice that funny stain around her crotch?
Is that supposed to be retinal or rectal?
Geeks are nocturnal, you insensitive clod! Well, it always seems like night in the basement, anyway.
The hardest? Telling your parents.
But what's the asteroid called?
Not necessarily wrong,but you're a twat; I made you a foe before you did it to me. You fail it!
I don't mean that like it's a bad thing, of course.
