...were treated as a disease to be cured, by any means necessary, by the time I got to 7th grade.
I could read at 4, and was encouraged well by my parents, who spent a great deal of time defending me to Administrative staff.
My HS Principal taught me Karate for several years prior; he knew I wasn't a problem, no matter how bad the asshole teachers hated me.:)
I survived, and managed to do well while my detractors have mostly died off thru poor genes and stupidity.
Odds are, I designed something, somewhere, in a machine that almost everyone here or their relatives have been in.
Sorting out the geeks early is a Great Idea, as long as we can keep the other idiots from either exterminating us, or keeping us in concentration camps. (yes, the TSA isn't the Gestapo, but it's a 'like organization'...)
That's why he was fired; he left the protesters alive, to give their story of how freaking easy it was.
If he'd shot them all, it would have been spun very differently, I'm sure; people would still be looking for the missing protesters, and a "terrorist group" would have been the aggressor, all killed in the attempt.
The Nun in question fell down during a TV interview at the Blount Co. Courthouse, and broke both wrists.:)
I grew up in OR, moved years ago, upwind.:)
In our drunkest hours, we never would have thought to do anything like this, lol. I always just assumed they Would shoot anyone on sight...
A PET transmission source is Ge-68 or Cs-137, both gamma emitters.
The 90% shielding thickness in lead is about 3". A 3" thick suit is too heavy to move.
Add to that problem, the fact that shielding a source imperfectly is bad for you, because of the nature of how shielding works.
Shielding from gamma photons require a series of scattering collisions with the shielding media, losing energy with each one, usually as x-ray photons or lattice vibrations.
Low energy photons in the low x-ray region are very likely to be fully absorbed by the body; high energy gammas tend to go right thru you, depositing less energy.
Tshirt and shorts are also great when you're removing all the gantry covers, too.:)
Amazingly, the people who can use an Android phone won't pay for an app like that. No shit Sherlock. I mean, Whodathunkit? Non-idiots won't buy garbage.
When I imagine the developer who wrote this app, I think of the girl in the Vonage commercial:"Puppy!":facepalm:
For him to be successful requires a large number of idiots; apparently, the Android crowd won't be that, and he's miffed.
The people "Pirating it" probably wanted to show their friends how stupid i(whatever) users are.
Before the "pirates" go back to playing Counterstrike...
I judge coworkers on ability by what apps they have on their phone; it makes it a lot easier.:) (My phone makes calls. Only. Yeah, you can still get those.)
Pretty much the electrons that weren't neutralized at the cloud because they were moving too fast.:)
Another interesting thing about lightning is that if it's strong enough, a strike will give off measurable 511keV gammas... possibly due to pair-production reactions.

What times we live in... :)

Talk about Security Theater... :facepalm:
This is exactly how this works; Jobs are passed down thru generations of ineptness.
I live near there; Everyone I know that works there got their job thru their relatives.
A true Couniseur would make ice from the Scotch...
Liquid N2 is a wonderful thing to have around. :)
As long as there are only Trolls, not Velociraptors. :)
I could do without veggies way easier than I could do without meat.
I broke up with the most incredible girl just after HS because I just could not eat another tofo burger.
Potatoes and my GF's occasional tossed salad is enough veggies for me. :)
This is Slashdot, thinking is optional.
Like she said, "Nothing is True, Everything is permitted." :)
Using sudo is perfectly fine if she's a submissive.
I wore protection.
I wear this ground strap everywhere...

...The Carbon Gang, Nitrogen Group, and the Oxygen Brotherhood reacted explosively to the news. :)
Gathering sewer balloons involve a certain level of trust of a Clown... ...and yes; We Do all Float Down Here...
I live in TN; retard capital of the world.
If a meteor took out Nashville, the IQ of the state would double.
If it took out Memphis, the same thing could happen.
All the smart people are in enclaves, close to universities; most are from elsewhere, often overseas.
It's a sad world we live in...
When we were playing Q2 regularly, maybe 10 years ago, we noticed you completely knew a new map after "sleeping on it".
Works for math, too; just don't learn to do something wrong and go to sleep, lol.
It always struck me as strange how you can use liquid nitrogen to help recondense liquid helium; the little sterling engine makes the coolest noise...
I waited for years as those books dribbled out, and each was worse than the last.
He needs his balls kicked in...

The Two Faces of Tomorrow was my favorite.
No, Harlan is the troll. You must know him, lol. :)
We're currently living one of his stories: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Marching_Morons
I believe Mitt is a bluenose... :)
SCO fits the 'green and warty' set pretty well. :)
Although the Scooby Doo ending is also appropriate; "They'd have gotten away with it, if it hadn't been for PJ."
Why fuck up a good thing? :)
RIP, EGG.
Condescending, Yes.
Twat, no.

The four Elephants contributed a lot less.
Humanity's very existence is proof against Intelligent Design.
Yup.

This is China West; just wait till the election.
