For a laugh I just googled the average number off attempts needed to pass the driving test.
The UK government actually publishes statistics of "pass rate by ethnicity of candidate", and.... Asians and blacks are more likely to fail the test than whites.
That doesn't tell you much unless you cross-reference with other data (are they taking it at a later age, maybe more immigrants in this group) and other factors (like are they immigrants who take the test early because they have driven in other countries), and motivation (my wife was very relaxed about her test as she could drive for a year on an overseas license before passing. It was quite amusing when she failed first time, said thanks, and drove off!).
Well the laundry thought they may as well make SCORPION STARE self-funding by mining bitcoins. Its fortunate the researchers did not activate the primary function
A stolen phone is an opportunity to sell a replacement - and maybe persuade someone to upgrade and go onto a new contract. The stolen phones are usually sold abroad or to people who would not buy an expensive phone otherwise, so its not much of a loss - they might even use more data!
Will it be like seeing a whole new colour, or will the infrared spectrum still need to be translated into the already visible spectrum? Judging by the article it seems to be the second, but the first would be much cooler.
Just let me insert this connector into your brain...
You guys keep working on that. Meanwhile Apple will continue selling millions more Macbooks and Mac Pro's to hard core developers, scientists and engineers who have work to do and need a computer to get it done with.
You do realise that almost all of the top 500 supercomputers run Linux
Isn't that so that you can send links to contacts? Android has no granular permissions support so if you ever want to be able to email a link from the app, you have to grant that permission.
Its a shame that you cannot just deny that right and have it fail if you ever tried the email functionality. Or even let the application know what's granted so that it can disable the email options.
Well that is sad but I was mainly thinking its sad that many dogs will be medicated for no valid reason - as I think most of these cases will be just a diagnosis for cash.
about a century and a half ago, nobody ever heard about autism.
you wouldn't be diagnosed an autist, but simply made to stand in a corner of the class with a dunce cap a lot.
Another couple of centuries before that they would have been called hermits and generally venerated.
Allow a 'retard' to point out an elementary flaw in your argument:
Calling someone a "darkie" is a racial slur but is not precise about a race it is referring to.
Actually it is being precise in setting non-dark races apart from others. This is probably one of the most common forms of racism.
with calling someone who is a FUCKING RETARDED ASSHOLE
Ah the typical Muslim reaction, if you can't dispute what someone says but you don't like it then insult them. The interesting thing is that by your definitions (not mine) this would make you a racist... by insulting people who oppose islamic terrorism you are targeting a group who are exclusively non-muslim - which you see as a racial division.
This happened after the vehicle impacted a roundabout at 110 mph, shearing off 15 feet of concrete curbwall and tearing off the left front wheel, then smashing through an eight foot tall buttressed concrete wall on the other side of the road and tearing off the right front wheel, before crashing into a tree. The driver stepped out and walked away with no permanent injuries
Sounds like a scene from "the A team", where I would have been saying "that's so unrealistic"!
From Wikipedia:
Race is a classification system used to categorize humans into large and distinct populations or groups by anatomical, cultural, ethnic, genetic, geographical, historical, linguistic, religious, and/or social affiliation.
There are two aims at communication - to pass on an idea or to deceive. The fact is that Muslims use the term racist just to gag any debate or criticism. If the aim is to communicate and you use a word in an unusual or uncommon way then you would say explicitly what you mean. For example if someone booked a hotel and asked for a room suitable for two adults and two kids then if he turned up with two young goats you could reasonably say that he was being deceptive. Similarly if you use "racist" in a way contrary to the law or common usage - you should say straight "religionist". Further more since I have no problem with the many peaceful religions you should just say "he hates Islam".
Of course you won't say that, because you are not aiming at communication, just silencing comments that make your faith look bad.
It makes sense that they're doing this in Pittsburgh, as opposed to New York City, Boston, Chicago, or Los Angeles, all jurisdictions with very tough gun control laws, thus precluding the team from having any gunshot victims to test their method on.
Sarcasm aside, it's interesting that they're waiting for gunshot and/or stabbing victims. Wouldn't this technique be applicable to any physical trauma resulting in massive amounts of bleeding that you might need time to repair?
I assume that they need victims who have injuries where they are unlikely to survive with conventional treatment, but are fixable given time. Things like motor vehicle accidents are more likely to have multiple complications (did he suffer brain damage from the impact or was it due to the freezing?) and so on.

Twice? Seriously? How does it feel to be a drooling idiot?
Just like being an idiot, except you can feel the wet drool dripping out of your mouth and over your chin.
Welcome to "the land of incrementally deprived of their liberty because they don't see the inevitable coming".
But at least with the rear-view camera they should be able to see the flattened wreck they have just run over

In what way will remotely destroying the phone remove this revenue stream?
By discouraging theft .... which is the whole point of the kill switch.

Mark Zuckerberg envisions a system of drones and laser beams.
I think the USAF envisions the same thing.
I think being able to see a new color would be a reasonable trade-off for the risks of neurosurgery.
Possibly ..... but I wouldn't want to be one of the first!

And what's more the pseudo random number generator is NSA approved.

Nowadays, everybody and their dog gets depressed at some point during the year, and prescribed medicine.
Sadly this is literally true
Unmanned satellites have certainly worked for much longer than this. And the voyager probes have been going since 1977!

Jesus, I can already picture a scientist charging around a shopping mall with a revolver and a switch-blade yelling "For science!"
This will be the next excuse of the muslims - "I did it for science"
Just because I have a tattoo of a swastika on my forehead doesn't mean I'm a Nazi....
