I think the focus should be identifying the gimp that invented "digital native" or called for it to be invented. That's where age discrimination began.
I agree. Some advanced high school physics can explain more. There is a 3rd option here. That is of force vectors. e.g. repulsion between a number of fixed coils @ 45 degrees to each other in the shape of a cone, causes a magnetic field. The simple vector calculation would show that the field is pushed outward, away from the coils like the shape of a rocket exhaust. What if you replace the coils with a cone* of electrons? As the repulsive force between parallel streams of electrons is enormous yet shaped as a cone, the repulsive force pushes the electrons away from the center of the cone, outside the cone itself. Again, it is easy to visualize the vectors here. A CRT only uses a single stream of electrons. Add another stream and the resultant force between them will push them away from each other. Nothing remarkable here. But what if you contain the electrons with an external magnetic field, pushing the repulsive force back toward the center? You will have force acting on nothing. No law was broken. The electrons are contained, moving from the apex of the cone to its base. The repulsive force is directed out of the base. There are no particles emitted, just force.
There's no magic in this. If you think about it, this force vector engine can have quite a few applications.
*The cone is actually a funnel within a funnel, sealed at the apex and base. The electron streams are in a vacuum between the walls of the funnels, moving from apex to base.
Yeah. What was secret a decade ago is now available with careful searching, like FBI HD scanners etc. If any backdoor is distributed, it'll be available to anyone real soon now.
This. Does anyone think this is going to help them in any way?
The way the US treats its poor reminds me a lot of the colonialism of earlier times. Patronizing, without any real care or concern and so far detached from the real problems that one has to wonder whether they are just stupid or whether their motives ain't what they claim to be.
Yes, it will. Some of those kids will get benefit as they wouldn't have to pay for textbooks or recreational reading. Problem is that they're looking at a reduced subset i.e. all those who have readers, registration via the school or welfare, the desire to become involved in the program etc. If the funds are not totally spent on administration (hopefully less than 50%) then someone will benefit.
which they called Walghstocks or Wallowbirdes being very good meat.
I read that passage a few times. Methinks that after a few days eating the 'very good meat' they got sick of it. Here is another source: "These we used to call 'Walghvogel', for the reason that the longer and oftener they were cooked, the less soft and more insipid eating they became. Nevertheless their belly and breast were of a pleasant flavour and easily masticated." However "Some early travellers found dodo meat unsavoury, and preferred to eat parrots and pigeons, others described it as tough but good. Some hunted dodos only for their gizzards, as this was considered the most delicious part of the bird. Dodos were easy to catch, but hunters had to be careful not to be bitten by their powerful beaks." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... Apparently they were long lived - up to 21 years, so finding and eating a younger fowl may be the way to go, especially if they don't eat fish/crustaceans. Where there is a will, there is a way.
I've heard that Dodos were delicious. I'm for getting them unextincted and setting up a fast food chain. Gotta think of a good name though, something catchy.
I did, about a week ago. I can't see myself using it because of the GUI. It's not very easy to use on a desktop as too many things are now hidden, buried or just not there anymore.
Microsoft have always had problems naming things. The rationale for calling the browser Edge, shows their corporate Think: "being on the edge of consuming and creating". Really? The MS marketing dept. fucked that up well and truly. The issue here is that they could have called it what they wanted and associated any wordage to it, patted themselves on the back and gone out to a very long lunch. What they failed to do is to use the word in a sentence. "Have you got Edge?" No I haven't. I'm as blunt as the family vagina. Here MS had a unique opportunity to actually rename their browser and they came up with shit... again.
From what I could find out, it looks like Draper Laboratories does the Guidance, Navigation, and Control (the interesting part), Teledyne does the optical target acquisition/locking (semi interesting), and Orbital ATK makes the ammunition part -- probably primer, charge, casing, and shell.
Going from a giant to a normal height person requires precisely one thing: reducing the amount of calories in versus the amount of calories out. Nothing else. After all, the only way that a person becomes a giant is through consuming more calories than they expend (if you don't agree, you are denying the laws of thermodynamics), so logically reversing the thermodynamic balance should reverse the condition. Right? If you have an equal 33% intake of sugars/starches, fat, protein compared to 100% sugar/starches then the body will absorb the food differently even though the calorific intake is the same.
All sugars/starches hydrolyzes into glucose. It is the only sugar that is used by the body. Sucrose is hydrolyzed into glucose and fructose. Fructose eventually converts into glucose. Starches converts to sugar(s) then to glucose.
The more complex starches ingested the harder the body has to work to consume it. All excesses of any food (fats etc) are eliminated. So it is the specific makeup of food that is more important that pure calorific value. Anything that replaces starches and sugars is theoretically good for you e.g. fiber (vegetables), pure fats and protein.

+1 for using the correct spelling of arse.
You are so wrong that I reckon you're a troll.

720K floppies? Ha! I had to work with 360K ones. Now try and tell the young kids that and they won't believe you.

"but because of the unique and rather mysterious orifice it has above its pectoral fin...."
Must be the intake manifold. Did they find the exhaust?
Sure. Except it is a recommendation to a website that is often ignored.

Easy! Just get an Apple Watch tattoo. Problem solved.
I wish I was a hipster, but my pants keep falling down.
Anyway, I don't abuse my body with meaningless skin graffiti.

Gotta be careful with that. It kills dogs if ingested.
Me too. I use it to sweeten coffee. The worst sweetener on the market that is gaining more foothold is Stevia. I avoid it. I'd rather eat grass.
Or those idiotic fwd:emails that link to a stupid youtube clip.
