"DNA shouldn't be retained simply on the basis that it might turn out to be useful."
Yes, in the same way that random searches and seizures shouldn't be performed simply on the basis they evidence of a crime might turn up. I thought it was a well-established and accepted idea that a fishing expedition is a Bad Thing.
Google seems to be the best with developers and coming up with new technologies.
All of Yahoo's improvements were in their expanding "web portal" services -- they're not taking over search. It's the webmail (now with AJAX!), calendar, photo sharing, etc. that have people interested in Yahoo. Most people don't realize Google offers anything other than search.
It's important to note that there are actually more than two parties involved. It's more like this:
Your ISP to BBC's ISP: I have traffic that needs to get to your customers BBC's ISP to your ISP: And I have traffic for your customers. Ok, I'll carry this much of yours if you'll carry that much of mine
You to your ISP: I want to connect to this internet at this rate Your ISP: Ok, it will cost you this much
BBC to BBC's ISP: Here is our idea for web-based service BBC's ISP: Ok, the bandwidth you need will cost this much
Your ISP to BBC: You need to pay me to make your service accessible to my customers
Daycare is very expensive, but for people that can only earn small wages it's also not financially worthwhile. They can hardly earn more than it costs, so why not stay home and be with your family?
I don't think you've thought your cunning plan all the way through.
Maybe it would be more true if you say "The fact that certain teens can't have sex because they are social dejects leads to them focusing on other things such as schoolwork and hobbies like computers and D&D which results in higher IQ."
I dunno. Most geeks I know started down the geek path well before puberty.
If you've got a modern PowerPC Mac, for example, you're likely to find it better supported with OpenBSD than any other operating system short of OS X.
This has certainly been my experience. There are a few issues I had in Linux that I never got around to trying on OpenBSD, but I can definitely say the only OS that supports more of my hardware than OpenBSD is OS X. Actually, at the time I installed, I chose OpenBSD because it was the only BSD with support for USB 2.0.
Hams: has Morse (or morse?) been removed from the list of requirements to get a license? I know there was talk about it at one point...
It's no longer required (though some tell me that the 5 wpm requirement was pretty trivial). Even without the requirement, it's still used a lot. It uses a lot less bandwidth than any voice mode, which makes it much better for long-distance contacts, low-power operation, or getting through heavy noise. Even for voice operation, it's nice to be able to listen for propagation beacons.
Really, the only modes that can stand up to CW are frequency-shift and phase-shift keying, but those require more complicated equipment to use effectively. You can hook a key up to the radio and start working CW with almost nothing else to set up, but I don't know anyone who can copy FSK or PSK by ear (though I imagine it's possible at lower symbol rates).

Let's not jump from correlation to causation.
And then they get shouted down in the name of the Free Market. Go figure.
I wish the smell of steak would get into everything like the smell of tobacco does. Of course that might lead to a rather large weight gain....
So are you saying employees' threatening their employers with financial harm is blackmail?
If the audiophile did slightly better, I'd be curious as to how he does with a larger sample size.
That's because there won't be a next president. I mean do any of the candidates look capable of winning?

Reduce the language to just one word for everything and you'll be double-plus good!
To Whom It May Concern:
I have received your invoice for communications services provided in the past month. Please find enclosed $0.00.
Bah. Curiosity was framed. Ignorance killed the cat.

Queued suits. Queued for laundering, no less.
I doubt the warning would be completely removed -- just changed to something a little more truthful.
Haven't we been hearing a lot of complaints lately that there aren't enough students going into science and engineering?
Unfortunately, this may be delayed a bit since Red Steel doesn't seem to have gotten the greatest reviews. (I haven't played it myself, though)

Clearly somebody is doing something like that here. We just don't know if it's the plaintiffs or the defendants.
