In the US, there are more women with 4 year degrees and more women with advanced (Masters, PhD, MBA) degrees than men, in the age cohort below 40. This is a recent phenomenon you may be unaware of, but it is real.
Thus, it would be normally true to state that, for most people 40 and under, it is in fact lower paid men who get their way paid for them by higher paid women.
Of course, this may be different depending on your age, the age of your peers, and the country in which you reside.
Blondes only have more fun because they're easier to find in the dark.
Actually, some science indicates that men can read blondes blush responses and emotional reactions more easily than brunettes, so they are more likely to pick up on negative responses and positive responses, thus actually causing blondes to have more fun.
Good question. Unfortunately, genetic diversity in more isolated population groups is smaller, so it could be correlated with blond or red hair, in that these population groups originated in more genetically less diverse regions.
Africa, for example, has strong genetic diversity, so you couldn't really say anything about probability of someone having two copies of the gene there, whereas in Sweden or Norway or Iceland (areas with blonds and redheads) a less diverse population group might actually have women who are happier.
Or maybe they're just happier because, since men frequently left to go hunting or fishing for days on end, they got used to not giving a cr.p what the men thought and thus a "happier" group existed.
Also, since one might be more depressed with less than 2 copies of the gene (if female), you might do yourself in and thus not breed, giving an evolutionary advantage in remote areas to women with 2 copies of the gene.
You can also split variable energy - wind, solar, tidal, etc - into Hydrogen by splitting water into Hydrogen and Oxygen. Or storing it in fuel cells. They have even run entire trains in Canada that have fuel cells for power plants - on that scale it's cheaper than many fuel sources.
My cousin, who also lives in Seattle, pays about 1/20th what it costs in gasoline to go the same distance with a plug-in electric car with a gas assist.
Maybe you should stop using coal or oil to make electricity with, and switch to something better?
Look, you can extend your functional life by periodic fasting (reduced caloric intake with water, minerals, and vitamins) for 10-14 days every 10 years or so, you can stop smoking (+10 years), you can get mild to moderate exercise 2-4 times a week for 15-60 minutes (+10 years), you can drink (males only) red wine with meals (2-4 glasses avg), and you can eat a varied diet low in red meat and low in processed foods. And you can reduce stress and get enough sleep.
This will keep you functional.
But after a certain age, your risk factor for Alzheimers and Cardiovascular disease starts going up quite a bit.
We're working on growing organs - literally - and it's coming along, so maybe we can replace part of your liver or other organs, but my current educated guess is maybe 120 years fully functional.
More than that... would require better understanding of not just the primary biochemical pathways regulated by mRNA, miRNA, siRNA, etc but also literal DNA/RNA repair with targeted strands. And a deeper understanding of not just the secondary biochemical pathways, but also the evolutionarily conserved tertiary pathways you inherited from when we were fish or rats.
(my humble opinion, maybe something will happen to change the current science)
Do you want to live in a society of really old people enslaving the youth in Hunger Games?
If Apple used in-house lawyers, they just saved a bundle.
If Apple didn't use in-house lawyers and Samsung did, well the lawyers did very well.
That said, couldn't Apple just buy Greece and make an end run to keep Germany from buying all the Greek islands? They could then have the rights to name future Apple products after specific Greek islands... plus have lots of vacation spots for employees!
It's a lot like playing house, or playing with dolls, or playing with toy soldiers.
Except it's judged "age appropriate".
Oh, and it is NOT ok to drag your SO along with you on an 18 hour marathon dungeon crawl and yell at her the whole time because she "doesn't know what to do".
Ever.
Stick to the basic questing and take breaks when THEY want to take breaks.
Slashdot Mirror
You are confusing patent law with data set comparison.
A two percent gap, if both lists are in sort order by Apple device ID, would "appear" similar, but would prove nothing.
hey, where did you think the $1.11 and $1.14 billion dollars was going to be spent? On the space program?
Just because a specific developer has a data set that "mostly" overlaps the FBI laptop dataset does not mean they are the same.
It's like saying a Maserati and a BMW SL are the same. They're both cars. They both have tires. They both go fast.
But they're not the same.
We have J.P. Patches Avenue in Fremont, Seattle, after all.
Downloaded and applied both the 32 bit and 64 bit Win 7 patches. If you use both Firefox and IE you might have multiple versions on the 64 bit OS.
The linux update was a lot more informative and descriptive than the Win 7 FF and Win 7 IE versions.
Interesting argument.

Same tends to be true of redheads, btw.

(sorry, science here)
That gene wouldn't happen to have an association with the one that allows for multiple orgasms in women, would it?
Now that is actually a good question ...
Yes. But I'm a man, so the gene is not involved.
Actually, if you RTF article, you'd see it's having two copies of the gene that impacts it, not just one.
So, actually, second post is the winner. Or at least happier.
On the other hand, first post is probably so clueless that they don't realize that.
u mean like a Hummer?
check out the Ducati shop in Seattle - they have some high performance screamers that get more than 80 mpg.
You can also split variable energy - wind, solar, tidal, etc - into Hydrogen by splitting water into Hydrogen and Oxygen. Or storing it in fuel cells. They have even run entire trains in Canada that have fuel cells for power plants - on that scale it's cheaper than many fuel sources.
Most official state vehicles in my state are plug-in electric or hybrid cars.
You can park them in the best spots in all the garages and get a free charge too.
And they look super cool.
Maybe you need to wake up and realize it's the 21st Century?
My cousin, who also lives in Seattle, pays about 1/20th what it costs in gasoline to go the same distance with a plug-in electric car with a gas assist.

there is this technology called high speed trains. In real countries like China they go more than 200 mph.
Is that fast enough for you, or do you want to stick your head out of the window?
golf ball surfacing, even with added weight, does cut air resistance down - loved that episode of Myth Busters.
I'll tell that to my cousin who gets 100+ mpg in his mostly electric car.
Electricity is way cheaper than gas around here in the Pacific NW.
I would say 120 years, actually.

You're saying your wargaming figures don't talk? My dwarf general sounded just like Brian Glover.
Well, the MBTs tend to be quiet.
If Apple used in-house lawyers, they just saved a bundle.

Nonsense. It's wargaming that's like playing with toy soldiers.
you mean your toy soldiers didn't have conversations about what they were doing, or cry out for help when they got caught in a tree while parachuting?
Man, that must have been boring.
It's a lot like playing house, or playing with dolls, or playing with toy soldiers.

No, we need more vespene gas.
I'll settle for gold pressed latinum.
I know, they said they would send us another email when our group is up.
Need to check and see if my other account got one of those ... the 4 digit one.
And here I thought, silly me, that it was the massive fines by the EU and Canadian regulators as to their practices that caused this change.
Never mind.
I'm sure they're doing it for the reason you say.
