Help me understand here - Is not this like saying, If I provide top10 song rankings and I put Spice girls song at no.2. EU does not like that and sues me to put her song at no 1.
No with 'foundem' its more like the top ten ranking included lots of well-known artists but not a recording your sister made at some backstreet recording studio that she sells round the neighbourhood. You complain to the EU who sues google to have your sister's video put in the top ten.

Yes, I also have a feeling they have a clear conscience. As to the reason their own services are ranked high? Of all, surely Google knows how to optimize their pages for Googles page ranking algorithms!
If they really wanted to "do no evil" they would have a clean room team implement the SEO for their own services using only publicly published information. After all using some secret way to get to the top of the list has the same affect as building in a bias for your site.
I misread it as "Facebook has just announced that George W. Bush is going to be president on November 29th".
I thought that either we were stuck in a time warp or America was having some kind of Republican coup. The really bad thing is I couldn't make up my mind which would be worse.
It won't necessarily help humans - or normal mice

Aging Reversed In Mice

Mice bread without an enzyme age prematurely. Injecting them with the enzyme reversed this process. This does not necessarily mean that injecting normal mice with more of the enzyme will have any affect on their ageing.
In the UK it is fine to say "down with freedom" and "enemies of Islam should die", but racist and provocative to suggest that the Qur'an might encourage terrorism
Many people like the LTS releases for this reason.
Unlike the half-baked release of 10.10, where it was obvious that there was still a lot of critical stuff unfinished?
I don't know what "critical stuff" you mean. I downloaded it on release day and it worked. There were a lot of big updates in the following week, so maybe it was stuff that broke other configurations.
I personally like the idea of scheduled releases which have been somewhat reasonably tested. Giving developers a mechanism to deal with the cutting edge versions of each package is nice, but I'd rather not have those in the releases on my servers.
I agree. Rolling releases works for beta but the idea that substantial changes could be rolled out in a daily update (as opposed to security updates) would kill any corporate use. They don't want changes that could involve the users seeing something different appearing without testing, training, etc. Many people like the LTS releases for this reason.
Well let's assume that it's different every time and is infinitely repeatable, like rolling near infinitely sided dice. Then a person, place etc.. will exist at some point in every conceivable way it CAN exist. and IF by some chance we have no perception of time when we die, then in fact we will exist again in what would be to us, an instant, in every way we CAN exist.
That makes a lot of assumptions about the nature of consciousness. Would we exist in every way, or would consciousness follow a thread to one of the possible ways so that we experience them one at a time? Would we experience them at all or would it be someone else? Why does everyone here seem to be on the very first life? (I know in infinite possibilities it has to happen somewhere, but there must be a lot more first lives that are on worlds where some are on later lives.
What I'm curious about though, is why the teacher felt this memo was necessary in the first place; TFA doesn't mention this.
Isn't it obvious, they're worried about weapons. If they bring in pencils they have graphite. All they need to do is purify uranium and they can use this to moderate an atomic pile. Next thing they will have weapons-grade plutonium.
The left-facing swastika is a very common symbol in various Buddhist related religions. There are many temples around Asia that are completely covered in them.
Actually I once heard the tale that the swastika comes in two types: left and right facing. The left facing shows good luck, the right facing bad luck. The tale didn't elaborate on why the Nazis chose the right-facing one... it didn't help them much at least.
It is not as simple as that. The right-facing swastika in Hinduism is the most common, and represents evolution of the universe, material luck etc. The left facing represents involution, spiritual looking inward, physical austerity, etc.
The way people talk about the Swastika in the Nazi context you'd swear it was an actual weapon that they stabbed people to death with. FCOL! It was the idiots carrying the flags with the Swastika on it that did all the killing, not the symbol itself.
To use your logic, attributing deaths to symbols and inanimate objects, you should never ever pick up a knife again or even keep one in your house. How many millions of people have been killed by knives since they were first created?
I wish I had mod points. Its pretty hypocritical for people who say "guns don't kill people do" to say "oh gosh that Buddhist has a swastika... thats terrible we all know the swastika is evil".
Do you really think that Buddhists and hindus aren't aware that a variant of that symbol was used as the symbol for the Nazi party, and that the Nazis were responsible for attempted genocide?
They are probably aware, just as you are probably aware that Hitler used the Iron Cross as an award. They wouldn't think about it unless it was pointed out or asked though, and would daily see the swastika as a symbol of light.
If you'd ask those people to explain in more detail what they know about the symbol, why it is designed that way and why exactly their 20 people clan so badly wants that symbol as their logo, they would not be able to explain it (or you'd just get a copy of the wikipedia article) - because in reality they actually want the swastika symbol BECAUSE they want to offend people and all tht online game, the game company CAN state that they will ban you for it (free speech does not apply there, same as it does not apply on a private message board).
Absolute fucking cobblers. In nearly every city in Britain and probably America you will find a Mandir and every one will have swastikas. There have been 3,000 people at ours at Deepawali and other similar occasions (not your group of 20), and nobody is shocked, or wants to shock people. Your assertion that a handfull of people want to use the swastika to shock people is absolute crap, a large number of people use it regularly as a religious symbol.
This is the famous picture of Jackie Bouvier (later Jackie Kennedy/Onassis) wearing a Native American costume as a child, complete with swastika. The Swastika is a sacred symbol to many cultures.

Sound like you are flying high in your own personal inner space

nice rant... 'xcept I think the joke was about leaving the kid alone while going shopping ?
Why so critical, he might have left them with a gun to protect themselves.

It would make sense, given that all its sub structures behave in that way. The universe as one huge-ass string.
By huge-ass string I think you are saying that the universe is a piece of shit. No argument there

When's the last time you heard the word "swastika" and didn't immediately think about its role in Nazi Germany?
When I did my puja this morning, Ganesha is adorned with a swastika on his palm. Next time will probably be when I do my evening puja.

I really wish they'd find some evidence that Hitler liked Justin Bieber (Poof). Another problem becomes socially awkward to admit liking.
