It may not be an actual course structure, but if you want to do some fun experiments look at Steve Spangler Science. It has lots of interesting projects and experiments along with the instructions and descriptions of what you are learning about and what is happening. I bought some plastic tubes (2L bottle preforms) for geocaching containers and even they came with a dozen experiments you can use them for. I have also seen some really fun looking books at the library for experiments to do with kids.
My god, you are one seriously delusional schizophrenic. People don't become cops just so they can frame random people for crimes and get away with it. Lay off the crack pipe.
No, they become cops because they are already the power tripping abusive bastards that they are and being a cop gives them more power to do it without having the pesky laws used against them!
Don't forget that a percentage of the military will join in the revolt also. They can bring the drones and nerve gas over to our side and help out, hopefully after taking out a couple of high ranking military!
With too much sun(>10 hours) , potatos yield seed instead of tubers. Specifically, they flower and die. Brightening the sky would also increase the effective day length, destroying the staple crop of much of the world's poor.
I think there is a huge arrogance popping its head up again.
Awesome!!! Just think how much money can be stolen^H^H^H^H^H^Hmade by companies like Monsanto! They can invent a new genetically altered potato that still makes tubers and never makes seeds. And you can only plant another crop by buying seeds from the company each year!!! Yeah!!!
It needs to be a system where the copyright holders are responsible for administering the copyrights that we, The People, gave to them.
And from watching how the copyright holders have handled things in the past, they can't even get it right. They claim copyright infringement on videos that they have uploaded themselves. Plus, they certainly don't recognize any form of "fair use", so that can be eliminated to make things easier. I just think it is crazy that they want someone else to police their content when they can't even do it right themselves. Good business model though, push your expenses onto other companies or the taxpayers, and then sit back and rake in the dough.
... we find intelligent life...extremely useful in the "stop thinking... God invented man..."... kind of way. I'd be more worried about the religious zealots (of all denominations) and how they're going to react to having their minds forcefully opened
What, in the name of God, are you babbling about? You seem to be very hostile against Classical Man's idea of a deity,
And what if the gods of our ancestors were actually alien visitors to our planet? I have been watching the "Ancient Astronauts" series lately on Netflix Streaming and some of the findings make you wonder. In fact, humans might have been a genetic manipulation so we could be useful slaves and mine gold and other valuable resources. If that was true, then god did invent man.
"Monsanto should not have to vouchsafe the safety of biotech food. ..Our interest is in selling as much of it as possible. Assuring its safety is the F.D.A.'s job." --Phil Angell, Monsanto corporate communication director
I have heard this argument a million times and it still does not convince me. What makes GM particularly threatening compared to crop artificially selected via shotgun approaches, e.g. crossbreading?
And the madness is that from the activist POV there's no distinction between a single gene flip and a full fledged injection from other species! As long as it's made in a lab, then it's "potentially harmful".
If that were true, then please explain the higher rates of miscarriage in farm animals fed GMO feed. Plus, if you actually learn what the genetic change does in the Round-Up Ready plants you see that they are less healthy. It makes the plant absorb less nutrients. Corn with more nutrients are better for you than corn with less nutrients. That seems pretty simple to me. Or you can eat paper and Styrofoam if you don't want any nutrients in your diet.
People are trying to set a bar for Linux higher than what Windows can manage.
I know! I also love how they explain how easy it is to install software for Windows and on Linux it is so hard. All the major Linux distributions have package management that makes finding and installing software as easy as putting apps on an iPhone or Android device. And all updates are done by the system rather than the user or hundreds of separate task manager programs running in the background grinding your computer's performance into the dust!
And whatever happens, a few more people will buy the licensed product, and a few more entertainers will trust the MPAA or RIAA with distribution of their valuable copyright material.
Maybe you feel this way, but I don't. If the MPAA does not respect the law, then why should I. When the government abuses the law to try to use foreign copyright to go after Wikileaks, then I see no reason to respect what they don't. I feel better copying movies from the library than I do giving money to criminal organizations. But maybe that is just me!
Not deliberately trolling, more like a sarcastic comment. I do see that this guy invaded his room mates privacy and that is a crime in and of itself. What I disagree with is saying that he is directly responsible for the room mates death. The kid killed himself, so the dead kid is the one responsible for his death. He died as a direct result of his jumping from a building. I could probably agree with the wording "indirect result" but not "direct result".
The solution is to lock up people who wish to harm others.
I bet you don't realize that this statement would make you one of the people who wish to harm others and therefore you should be locked up. Pretty ironic if you ask me!
A man died as a direct result of this douche bag's actions.
And what if he killed himself after getting a 'D' in one of his classes? Should we then put the professor in jail? Your statement fits in that case also. He died as a direct result of the professor giving him a 'D'.
It already is a problem with Linux in a sense. How many users do you think really go through the entire package list and ensure they only install the things they need?
The only difference I see is that installing programs in Linux does not slow it down as bad as installing things on Windows does. I have installed and uninstalled dozens of things in Ubuntu to try them out or have them if I ever want them. So far I have not seen the typical slow down I am used to with Windows. I made it a standard practice to do a fresh re-install of my Windows systems every 12-18 months. It would clean out all the cruft and junk that gets left in the registry from the things you used your computer for.
If I could buy a car today with no features, minimal upholstery, nothing more than a chassis, powertrain, and seat... available in flat black paint... I'd buy one so fast your head would spin.
as for your number 1), more like "Help make flying so unpleasant you don't bother to fly anywhere and just drive instead."
as for 2) The terrorists don't need to blow anything up anymore to scare americans, just let someone get caught trying something and the hysteria rips into the gov who continue to perpetuate the scam of the TSA....
Why do you think all of the terrorists that get caught are doing it with bombs supplied by the government. If you don't have real terrorists to fight, then you can't justify the expense of the TSA and the scanners. But if you talk a few people into taking this fake bomb and then arrest them you get some free news coverage and a renewed sense of fear in the populous. Is seems so obvious that is amazes me that more people don't realize what is happening. Even the latest bomb that was stopped was actually an undercover agent that had it. It makes me wonder if the attacks on 9-11 were faked also.
When you "own" real estate, you pay property tax. If "Intellectual Property" is something that can be owned, then they should have to pay a tax on it.
I would set the rate of the tax to be proportional to the value that the owner feels it is worth. And any other company that wants to use that patent can get it for that price. No negotiations needed. If the company thinks they need to keep other's from using it, then they can value it in the billions of dollars, and pay the rate for that. If they think it is not worth much, they can put the value at $1 and pay the minimum. If they think it is worthless, like swinging sideways on a swingset, they will pay no taxes on it, but it then goes into the public domain.
I'm sure there are things to work out with an idea like this, but it seems to solve many problems at once. Plus, it will help balance the budget of the bankrupt government, so you might even be able to get the politicians to vote for it. How silly of me, the politicians are in the pocket of the mega-corps, so they would never do something that would hurt their masters!
From reading the article (I know, what's wrong with me), it seems like she is a brainless sheep that does whatever someone tells her to. I don't go through the scanners and I don't even have an expensive medical device that doctors told me not to send though the scanners. Why would she listen to the rape-monkeys rather than her doctor is beyond me. The world would be better off if the TSA were disbanded and every employee beheaded. Of course the human race would be better off if she had died right on the spot also, we don't need more idiotic followers like her.
It’s a lot easier to start asking Siri for information instead of typing search terms into a box
Siri is great at understanding what you are saying with regular spoken language. But it does not just know the answer to everything! It would have to take what you said and send it to a search engine - exactly what Google is best at. Unless Google's results start to get worse than another search engine in some way they are not going away just because mobile is popular. People will still need to do searches from their mobile. And why does Android not count as Google being successful in the mobile world?
But no helmet is going to prevent your brain from smashing into the inside of your skull when your head experiences a sudden deceleration.
I think you have found the solution! We need to put protective "brain" helmets inside the players skulls. Some sort of foam cushion that would let the brain experience less G-forces. I guess we might have to expand the size of their heads to make room for the extra padding around the brain. Perhaps we just replace the original skull with a new one that is the same size as the current helmet. But since the bone has been removed from around the brain, there is room for the soft foam cushion to protect the brain.
Speaking as someone who has never owed a smart phone I have always found them restrictive and confusing. Using one is like navigating a theme park without a map. Eventually you'll want to just find a place to sit down but you'll only get more lost among the theme rides and hot dog stands.
Here you go --> Android Theme Park Maps. You can put the Theme park maps on your smartphone. Then you won't get lost!

I just avoid the uncertainty with the date order by using the military format; 04 Jun 2012.
Don't forget that a percentage of the military will join in the revolt also. They can bring the drones and nerve gas over to our side and help out, hopefully after taking out a couple of high ranking military!

While I don't think putting it on the wall or leaving the kid unattended with Skype open is a good idea, perhaps it's best for you.
Much better would be leaving the kid unattended with chat-roulette. :-P
