    What about the mode and the median? They can only be values where there is a data point. More importantly, everything you said has absolutely no bearing on the male/female strength thing. You're a chump for even bringing it up. What if this torus somehow represented strength (no idea how it would) if you had one for women centred on (0,0,0) and one for men centred on (1,1,1) the averages would still show the average strength difference between men and women, so the fact that there are no points near the average value has no relevance whatsoever in this situation.

    it is sustainable, because it can be sustained, that's what sustainable means. It may fuck up the environment, but sustainable does not mean it is environmentally friendly, it means it will not run out. If the sun spat out pieces of coal that fell onto the earth like rain, then burning coal would be sustainable, it would still be bad for the environment, but it would be still sustainable. Rewnewable, means that the resource is renewed, in this case hte resourse is water which is higher than sea level, and it is renewed, even if I kill a thousand tigers, destroy a dozen farms and poison a hundred babies collecting that water to generate power, more water will fall, renewing the water I used. Hence Renewable.

    Actually, it's to distinguish it from Russia now. The original joke just said Russia, it was only after the collapse of the USSR that it changed.

    I fail to see how the /. crowd can cry so foul of this given the way you all react when there's a report of a GPL violation. it's no different. just because you dislike the copyright holder, doesn't mean they are wrong.

    There is a difference, we all complain when people actually violate GPL, not when people 'enable' violation. Every time someone distributes some GPL'd code, they potentially enable a violation, because the person the distribute it to may use it in a project and not release that source code.

    That's not the capitalist way at all. The capitalist way is: exploit everyone to their limit for your own personal gain.
    The poor are only given enough money so they can continue to work like slaves in factories for the rich.
    If you were to make a capitalist-like system, the dumb kids would work as servants to the smart kids, fetching them books and carrying thier bags, while only getting enough education to read the spines of books they had fetch to the smart kids.

    The smart kids would get smarter, while the dumb kids get dumber.

    Sadly for you your reasoning is completely flawed, because railways were not initially designed to carry people, they were made to carry coal, the fact is that standard gauge was set by George Stephenson, who set it so his rolling stock would be same size as rolling stock from horse drawn wagonways, which were the same size as normal wagons, which were set according to the size or a horse, and how much it can pull.

    In fact, if you design a railway specifically for people, you will find wider gauges to be better. The Great Western Railway was designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel specifically for the comfort of his passengers, and used a massive 7 foot gauge, in order to make the ride smoother and faster. Russia and the British Raj both selected broad gauge railways because they has improved stability and were more practical design than standard gauge.

    Standard gauge is anachronistic, it only won out because of the prevalence of Stephenson's designs, if the worlds railways were built from scratch today, a much wider gauge would be probably be used. As a geek you ought to know that a lot of standards are set not by common sense, but because the big fish said so, Stephenson was the big fish, and he set railway gauges to the same size as road carts because it was cheaper to use wagonway rolling stock. So, the Shuttles SRB's are the size they aree because Stephenson was a cheapskate. Also, because he was successful, and because the north won the US civil war.

    you would look more like a big chunky dolphin, which most of the time sharks will avoid confrontation with. That's not to say that sharks are scared of dolphins, they usually win in a fight, but a dolphin would put up a much bigger fight than most fish, and usually get away, so as far as the shark is concerned, it's just too much hassle to eat a healthy dolphin. A shark is far more likely to go for you if you are splashing about in flippers, as you would appear more like an injured animal to him.
