The hypocrisy in US in unbelievable. Violence and killing people is all okay in TV, but when it's teaching persons about natural human function like sex it's all bad and must be hidden.
Even while I live in Europe and sexuality is quite okayish here, my parents never taught anything about it. I learned it from school and from friends. And let me say this, what they taught in school was probably a lot more responsible than what my friends told me.
Dude, dude, dude you have it entirely wrong. If there was a well thought out and comprehensive sexual education curriculum, then dumb girls wouldn't believe that semen had a lot of protein in it and helps you lose weight.
Everybody seems to dislike Americans now, just imagine how riled up and war mongering we'd be without the "2 minute diet".
HoN is a great game if you want to learn racial slurs in new languages. It's good fun if you can play with friends until you get up to speed. Although, if you have friends that are the "controller thrower" archtype maybe pass on inviting them. It's as addictive as crack. You get pissed off at the game and the community and uninstall it, and find yourself needing a fix a week later...
General Rule For Getting Hired: Don't forget to include a complete collection of your/. postings. I can't think of a better way to impress a future employer than to show them just how funny and clever you really are.
Does this include postings with timestamps between 9-5 during your previous periods of employ?
in a comment a few months ago and everyone dismissed me as a lunatic, now here is some more newer scientific documentation and evidence backing it up, HFCS is bad
Doesn't mean you're not a lunatic. A broken clock is right twice a day.
IMO a great comparison is Meteorology. Earth weather patterns are incredibly complex. Meteorologists make predictions about what patterns will likely develop, but there are simply too many variables to be perfectly precise.
I worked in a weather office. The prediction method involved roulette.
I'm pretty sure different people think different anyway, some are fine with multi-tasking, others not so, I'd imagine those crap at multi-tasking will struggle with taking notes at the same time as listening regardless of what method they use, whilst those great at it, will likely be able to play an FPS or whatever and still take in what the professor is saying.
People are pretty generally crap at multitasking. (I think there was an article not to long ago on it here.) There are people who like to tell themselves they can multitask and people who realize they need to focus.
http://joesaward.wordpress.com/2010/02/11/a-rumour-explained/ As this post's title says, it doesn't give much more info. Essentially it just adds the information that the flywheel system is derived from the Williams F1 Team's KERS (kinetic energy recovery system).
Cool. I saw flywheel and immediately thought KERS but didn't know what F1 team would give Porsche anything.
Then you should be happy about these body scanners... they sure make the process much more swift, and you don't need to worry about being randomly selected for a lengthy pat-down when you're already running late for your flight. Terrorists do exist, and sure you can say "they won" because of what airport security is turning into, but guess what... they'd win even more if airport security wasn't this strict.
Do you really believe this or are you just trolling?
*prepares to get modded down into the infernal depths of hell* Far Side wasn't in the same/league/ as Calvin and Hobbes. I know that they were one frame and no continuity, but they were also miles off in terms of writing, observation, illustration and funniness. It's like comparing a one-liner to a poem, perhaps it's even unfair to compare. But IMHO, if they were Slashdot posts and I had 4 mod points, Far Side would be Interesting but Overrated. C&H would be Insightful and Funny
And over here children we have a well preserved specimen of the Troll. First you observe the acknowledgment by denial. This is followed by a series of preposterous statements designed to "rile the crowd". Finally, he closes with the classic In My Humble Opinion which signifies that his opinion is of course not so humble. Now if you move along, we will now go see the lolcat exhibit.
It's technically true that everyone will die sometime, but it isn't really meaningful in the context of making a film about it in the near future, which I presume the story is about (no, of course I didn't read it).
Well everybody is going to die in the near future. The entire existence of man isn't really meaningful in the context of the universe.
Slashdot Mirror
30 hours per week of meetings is definitely excessive
I'm a consultant, you insensitive clod!
"What's the difference between C and C++?"
C is just C. Whereas C++ increments C by 1. duh.

But saying that man made the best in the universe, without ever having left our solar system is a little bit naive...
Nah unless somebody shows up to show us otherwise, I think we're ok.
woohoo Man NUMBER 1 yeah!!!!
This was to set a humerus in place. It was way out of position before that. The ends didn't meet.
That's pretty funny!

And who shall have the power to prevent people from attaining positions of power?
I will. I promise not to abuse the power at all.

Is it sad that I want to give you mod points just because you managed to use the correct spelling for "effect" here?
Yes, especially because it's the wrong spelling. His comment is a pretty text book example of "affect"
affect change
effect of change

my method is even simpler, I don't drink.
Worst... hangover remedy.... EVER!
First post!
First post and Goatse transcend language. Truly they could be the baseline provided to an alien civilization to help them understand humanity.

Long live Calvin & Hobbes. I just wish there was some way of gradually feeding the strips to the next generation in the same way that I was ...
Get "The Complete Calvin and Hobbes" and glue a strip over Mary Worth every day...

Has anyone ever heard of Terminal Velocity? The record for a human is around half Mach and that takes skill to achieve not just height.
Terminal velocity is dependent on drag which is dependent on density. The terminal velocity at high altitude is much higher than at low.
The the speed of sound is temperate dependent as well. It is lower at altitude that at sea level. It is about 760 mph at sea level and 675 at 100k ft.

I know there's a joke about Schroedinger's Pussy in there somewhere, I just can't find it...
Doesn't matter. It's dead now.

Of course! It's SCCA rules! Oh you mean when I'm not tracking my mom's rally car. nm.
