Hey, they still define current as flow of positive charge, when really it's the negative charge that flows, just because that's how it was defined in the past.
If they can be inconsistent for electrons, why can't they be for planets?
you think any of that repeat business money will go to a pay rise for the techsupport guy on phone? I think it will go for a bonus to the very PHB who was trying to make techsupport guy answer calls faster with no regard to quality. Meanwhile techsupport guy, stays on minimum wage.
Think of it more on the level of tissue, not the level of your consciousness.
The human equivalent of this situation would be if you receive an organ transplant. If it is close enough to you genetically, your body will accept it as part of itself, if it is not a tissue match, you body will identify it as foreign and you immune cells will attack and destroy it.
It doesn't matter if you think the organ is part of you or not, it's whether or not your imune cells recognise the familiar genes they are looking for. you may not confuse yourself with your sister, but if you had a kidney transplant from her, you would be hoping your white blood cells confuse her cells for your own.

space may be cold, but with no atmosphere to conduct the heat, it is only lost by radiation, so if a body is a good absorber of solar radiation, the temperature get quite high before outgoing radiation matches the incoming solar radiation.
The Data Protection directive does not take away your right to flush your privacy down the crapper. It simply means that a company cannot go back on it's word, it can only use your data in the way it originally tells you. So if they are going to sell it to the highest bidder, they have to tell you that when you give it to them. If they say they will use it only internally, they must stick to that.
This computer is comparing faces that are given to it, to see who they belong to. This is a lot harder than finding a face in a random pic, or in the street.
The job of measuring the features of a face that is presented to it, then comparing it to a database, is a lot lot easier than finding a face in the midst of a big jumble of non-face, and then recognising it. When a computer can do that, I will be really impressed.
I think I have an understanding of capitalism which is a thousand times better than you.
Capitalism is not just trade, it is a system based on the concept of capital, hence the name. In capitalism, goods are not the most important factor, it is capital, an abstract measure of wealth derived from accumulated labour which is the driving force behind the economy. The entanglement of government is of benefit to capitalism, in that it helps maintain control for the capitalists. The abandonment of gold standard was done for the benefit of the market, it is not an appeal to government power, but the power of the market. The value of your currency is not set by the government, it is set by the market, by the capital holders. The government's endless expansion of power is also for the benefit of the capitalist classes, look at them for fucks sake, Bush, Gore, either one is a millionaire, all the government are former CEOs or future CEOs, or from the family or friends of CEOs. They are part of the capitalist classes, they are the holders of wealth, and they govern to make themselves richer.
Capitalism is not voluntary trade for mutual benefit, it is a system whereby a working class labour for a wage, while the products of their labour, are used by a capitalist class to accumulate more capital.
The Egyptian empire thrived for over a thousand years, in the end it fell, the Aztec empire thrived for centuries, in the end it fell, the roman empire stood for over 500 years, in the end it fell, the medieval feudal system thrived for centuries, in the end it fell, the Chinese empire thrived for over 2000 years, in the end it fell. Capitalism has been around for a mere 200 years, that is nothing to what the imperial system achieved, but in the end, it fell. only for 3% of human history has there been capitalism, just because you live in that 3% do not make the mistake of thinking that the model we follow is somehow the best one.
If you lived in the rein of Charles II, would you have gloated over the failure of the English revolution and declared democracy to be a failure and monarchy to be the best way? If you lived in the roman empire, would you have laughed at the barbarians and their feudal system, and declared the Imperial system to be superior? empires have risen and fallen, and so have systems of government. Many billions before you have claimed that the system they lived in was the best system, the final system. There is no reason to believe that capitalism is any different. Our civilization will fall, sooner or later. 200 years of history means nothing, let alone the 60 year old events you cite, it is just a blink of an eye.
Why do people say that history proves capitalism work? out of about 6000 years of recorded history, capitalism has existed for just a little over 200 years, claiming it as somehow the most effective or the natural way of things is a bit premature.
Smugly believing the status quo will last forever, now does seem to be a natural thing for humans.
since when was 11 teenage, and since when did 11 year olds have raging hormones? plus, just cos she is a straight A student doesn't mean she is a good girl, smart kids are often the worst little fuckers in the class, they just get away with it cos they are smart.
Mr C does have one bad habit tho, Cyberskin is a mixture of unstable rubber compounds containing a load of Phthalates, it will constantly out gass, chemicaly deteriorate, and absorb liquids.
Mr S would be better. Surgical grade silicone is widely acknowledged as the premier sex toy material.
Buh, I don't see how you could confuse the plural of CD, which is CDs, with the acronym for compact disc single, which would be CDS. That's why acronyms are written upper case. And why strictly should be written with dots. like C.D.
