Now the people who are geneticly fat will have a better chance of surviving because there slower motabilism is more effective converting food to energy. While the thin people will probably starve first.
The thin would starve, and the fatties would be hunted down and eaten by the more agile middleweights... like me;-)
The problem is that the alien simply does not have the sensory organs that humans have. As such, he can't even contemplate what it is like to have that sense.
Humans don't have the same echolocation capacity as bats, and yet someone must have contemplated what it was like - they built an artificial verson.
Transforming brainwaves into electrical signals is a step away from transforming electrical signals into brainwaves.
I'm working on a way to generate heat by making the mercury in a thermometer expand. That's when I've finished speaking into the headphones on my CD player and making a recording.
If in four years the best use Cohen has for this domain name is to forward it to his advertisement coupons (which is now where it leads), I would say that Apple have some ground to get annoyed.
Mild irritation is not (AFAIK, IANAL) grounds for a lawsuit. Even in the US.
Furthermore, although it would be difficult to prove that Cohen knew about their project when he registered the domain, he admits in the register's interview this may not be neccessary.
I was raised as a Catholic and am still a firm believer in creationism.
Relationship adjusted accordingly.
You don't think that labelling anyone who may have faith in a higher power (whether or not you agree with them) as a whacko is just a trifle intolerant?
Yes.
Or, compared to massacring the Aztecs & Incas, the Burning of Magdeburg or the Spanish Inquistion, no.
Survival of the fittest links with evolution ONLY when the difference in question is genetically passed down through the generations.
Not true, there is also memetic evolution - that of ideas & culture. Ideas & beliefs that are good (or appear to be good at the time) spread and get passed on.
I was trying demonstrate that having underlying knowledge of a system (just not computer systems but any system, for example the legs - if you want to run as well as humanly possible) gives people a better basis from which to exploit the technology or sytem to their best advantage. This subtlety seems to have slipped past the readers and mods.

FWIW, I understood what you meant. I just happen not to particularly agree with it.
A lot of Indians speak much better English than many Americans.
With a population that size, it would be very surprising if that wasn't true. However even a lot is a drop in the ocean, leaving one heck of a lot who are not talking wery good, sah.
That was an excellent series. What were you expecting a ten year old running around with a whip and a gun?
Why not? They could set it all in a boarding school. There could be a ginger kid from a poor family. Maybe with all wizards and stuff. Wait... I'll get me coat.
if the prices were so "artificially" high, then why did people buy?
Because they wanted/needed the chips, and that was the best (well, the only) deal thay could get. Why was it the only deal? Because there was a cartel. Sure they had a choice - of the Hobson's variety.
For us, thats like getting hit with a fine of two year's take home salary (like maybe $80k to $100k - I said take home, not gross.) Not something that would destroy us... no, come to think of it that would destroy some of us.
Bear in mind that these executives probably earn upward of half a million a year. On top of that there's stock options - and those presumably ramped up nicely due the increased profits resulting from the price fixing.
So it's more like losing six months salary, after winning the lottery.

The director keeps the netnanny admin password on a post-it under his desk. Don't tell anybody, though.
Actually, wouldn't it pretty much be W^HTomb Raider?
