Especially since tsunamis aren't caused by weather.
Aren't they usually caused by crust-movement-type activity? As in (from the article):
The machine tracks global sea temperatures, rainfall and crustal movement to predict natural disasters over the next centuries.
My (limited) understanding is that attempting to predict seismic activity has always been a major part of the purpose of the machine, and that this 30-year weather thing is an additional (part of the) project.
So did I, but rental places now have about a total of thirty movies - or at least thirty really, really new movies and then shelves of drek.
We check out DVDs from the local library. They have a pretty wide variety on the shelf, and we've been able to order almost anything else we've wanted to watch through interlibrary loan. We can keep the movies for up to two weeks, renew for two weeks more, and late fees are $1/day.
We're limited to DVD because the comptuer doesn't play VHS, and we don't have a TV or VCR.
Dude, Bin Laden also considers himself a freedom fighter.
I would like to point out two things: 1- Claiming to be a freedom fighter is not the same as believing yourself to be a freedom fighter. 2- If you believe that Bin Laden really considers himself a freedom fighter then you should probably examine your life and find out where else you're being gulled by fast talking people out for personal gain.
So, you just have to self-publish an audio CD? Doesn't matter if it stinks, or has no advertising, or whatever, you just get your slice of the tax, and you're set?
...and they have this rule that slower traffic has to stay to the right. We don't have that here, so all kinds of slower traffic can block the left lane...
Where are you from? At least two of the US states that I've lived in DO have that rule. (I haven't read the driving rules everywhere I've lived.) I would expect (practically) all US states to have that rule, and believe that (practically) no one enforces it.
On the other hand. I don't know if this is always true, but during the couple of days that I drove in Southern California, people actually (usually) followed that rule.
"Fundamentalist" generally applies when members of a religious group try to impose their particular beliefs on everyone elese.
From google
- In comparative religion, fundamentalism refers to anti-modernist movements in various religions.
- anti-modern and/or biblically literalist Protestant Christians
From dictonary.com
- A usually religious movement or point of view characterized by a return to fundamental principles, by rigid adherence to those principles, and often by intolerance of other views and opposition to secularism.
- a. An organized, militant Evangelical movement originating in the United States in the late 19th and early 20th century in opposition to Protestant Liberalism and secularism, insisting on the inerrancy of Scripture.
b. Adherence to the theology of this movement.
Did you notice that none of these implied an imposition of beliefs on others.
I've mentioned it before on/. I guess you missed it.
My sister had an American car in 1989 that ROUTINELY got over 60 mpg. She would fill up the 8 gallon tank, drive 250 miles home, visit for a week, drive 250 miles back, go to and from work for a few days, then fill the tank again.
Liberals however tend to be more ready to challenge their preconceived ideals, so aren't as open to fluff pieces aimed at allowing someone to retain a "Faith" in the face of significant evidence against it.
In U.S. universities there is basically zero effort put into preparing people to teach college classes.
My graduate math program focused very heavily on preparing the students be able to teach college classes. Possibly in part because teaching is such a good way to learn. What I know about other graduate programs suggests that mine was atypical, but not close to unique.
You probably just haven't found the right religion. If you're honest, you'll keep looking. (If you weren't honest you'd let your pre-determined conclusions tell you you that all religions, and religious people, treat the search for truth and knowledge the same way.)
The bulk of the time seems to be spent as cheap labor for the university.
I was a graduate math student. My school worked the graduate students harder than most (according to faculty and graduate students of other universities). I still feel like that work was extremely helpful in gaining a deeper and more practical understanding of what I learned by sitting in lectures and doing homework.
I don't know if the difference was because of the shift of responsibility, or the difference between motivation by paycheck and motivation by grade, or some other entirely different factor, or some of all of them.

Ewww.
Though I guess it would be more sanitary than picking it up with your hand.

Yes, buit if you say the name of the country, and you're not in an art film, it offends people.

Sorry, my mistake. I just checked. According to maps.google.com it was only 242 miles home and 242 more back.

Here is an example of a weakness of this kind of communication.
I can't tell if the parent is clueless or sarcastic.

I would call it less of a requirement, and more of an effect.
I LOVE that movie.
Non-80s people will miss a lot of the humor, but it still a GREAT movie.
