Yes, but that's defamation of character. You can't accuse somebody of cheating without having evidence, and a statistical anomaly does not evidence make. There's plenty of ways in which this could screw people that are genuinely innocent.
I doubt that it's really that unusual for somebody to do better on the hard questions than the easy ones. I remember back in college having a tendency to make stupid mistakes on easy questions that I'd never make on harder ones where I was paying closer attention by necessity.
Just about anything else. No sanely designed programming language will ever require you to label each line of code and throw and require the lines to be renumbered whenever you want to put new code in the middle.
Basic is fine if you're just wanting to quickly introduce it, but anything beyond that is just going to convince them to go to arts college.
For banks, I think that probably ought to be required. Industries like that and places that need to tighten control of the data love VDI, as it makes it a lot harder for somebody to gain access or more worryingly leave secure data on an insecure machine.
That's a part of protecting your source. You don't release that sort of information that could be used to verify the source unless you have to and with the approval of the source. Doing anything else could very easily result in you being informally blacklisted by people looking to leak things to the press.
Blackmail? What blackmail? Blackmail implies that there was a point where if the US government had given into some demand by Wikileaks that they would've held it back from being released.
I don't think that's true. They don't preinstall it, but it's relatively trivial to add another repository and install them yourself. Anybody that's not capable of that with a bit of googling is probably not going to be happy with a Linux anything.
Chinese isn't that big in terms of numbers. English is the unofficially official language of the US as well as the language you have to use in India for government matters.
Worse for Chinese, while the written language doesn't vary too much, the differences between the dialects make them essentially different languages when spoken. Some have 8 tones and others have 6 and it's not standardized even across China.
Beyond that I'm not sure why it would be Chinese. China has a huge number of people, but they don't really speak the same language, the words are written more or less the same way, but good luck using the same dialect all over China. Same reason why India won't use any of their languages as the default.
I fully expect them to fail as between India and the US you've got nearly a full quarter of the world's populatation there alone, and we both use English as our language for government and such.
French or Spanish could do that, but it's a pretty long shot that any of those could over take English for such matters. Considering how English is more or less the official language of quite a few things these days, whether or not that was a wise decision in the first place.
But that's less fun than suggesting that it is for Steve Jobs' ego, his collection of black turtle necks or a place for them to store the children they source their tears from. You didn't honestly think that anything could be that shiny without child tears, did you?
Citation necessary. Hitler has far more in common with modern American conservatives than liberals. Ever notice how quick the right is blame Islam and people of color for pretty much every problem and to fight tooth and nail against even meager efforts to fix those unwarranted abuses of power?
You should actually read up on issues before mouthing off about it. The individual health care mandate was necessary in order to get the concessions from health insurance companies and doctors necessary to make insurance affordable and avoid the case where people don't buy until they have to have it.
The only issue I have with the FCC's efforts here is that there's an awful lot of loopholes in the proposal and that it doesn't go anywhere near far enough. But then again, the FCC tends to be pretty weak when it comes to standing up to telecoms that abuse their spectrum and tends not to be willing to just take it back when it's needed for more important things.
That's not true. In what way does the government directly control the internet by requiring that providers offer their services in an equal way to all who want them. They aren't requiring them to provide service to those that won't pay nor are they telling the providers what prices they can charge. And so long as the prices and availability are the same regardless of organization they can do more or less as they have been.
Net neutrality more or less codifies the way things were done until relatively recently.
In practice, cases like that tend not to be prosecuted. Mainly because there was consent and the individual that was providing it isn't interested in pressing charges because they don't think that it's rape.
While the person that was allegedly raped doesn't get to force a penalty, they can withdraw or opt not to report it. Which is what makes sex crimes at times so hard to prosecute. They don't get reported and even when they do the person doesn't necessarily want to push things as it ruins their life as well.
Can only a woman be raped? Despite the man-rapist-on-female-victim slant of my examples, I fully believe a man can be raped by both a woman and a man. It's going to be more rare, far less reported, and probably will involve at least some degree of actual violence; that's just how the tools (and frankly the psyches) line up.
Frequently, but definitely not always, rape is used as a way of discouraging male homosexuality. While not a particularly common occurrence, it definitely happens where a man his held down and raped by a woman. Sometimes drugs are involved.
It's one of the problematic side effects of the way the women's movement has been run in recent decades. Child sexual abuse tends to be pushed as a man on girl problem rather than the more accurate adult on child problem, domestic violence is a man on woman problem rather than the pretty much everybody on everybody problem that it is and sexual harassment is viewed as being only harmful when perpetrated by a man.
It's something which ultimately has to change, but it's going to take a while because quite frankly the women that are getting the press tend to not care about the effects that the biased information has on everybody else. I was personally pleased to find that the domestic violence educational pamphlets at my doctors office were written to be gender neutral.
Statistically speaking, I'd be surprised if a small number of psychopaths didn't manage to slip in undetected. It's not a large number, but it's probably a negligible non-zero number. And it's more a matter of it being really hard to screen for genuine psychopaths.
200 confirmed kills wasn't really that unreasonable back when they were keeping track of that, depending upon the particular job that individual did. My dad was a radio operator back in Vietnam, and his kill count was significantly higher than that. But, anybody who served since sometime in about the 80s or so who claims that is completely full of it. The military doesn't keep those tallies any more. At best it's a personal count, and more likely a lie.
That's not a reputable journal of opinion. I'm not familiar with that blog, but it looks like she's biased and/or somewhat obtuse.
The blog entry deviates pretty significantly from any of the reports I've seen. As in she's asserting that the women never called the sex consensual and I haven't read that anywhere else. It also strikes me as a bit odd that it would be rape and then that she stuck around for another round later on. Not impossible, but definitely a bit odd if it really was rape. Especially since I haven't heard a single account that suggested that he was armed or threatening.
That's not a surprise, the question is how reliable these findings are. The amygdala being tied into both anger and fear is a likely suspect whenever there are problems with interpersonal interactions. I mean, a lot of what people do in response to others is tied into either anger or fear and so this wouldn't be much of a shocker.
That being said, I doubt that is a particularly final result and there are almost certainly nuances and more that need to be investigated.
Fig 1 shows piss poor correlation that in my college physics lab would earn me a "redo".
That's physics. If you can't get at least a 97% correlation then you've got something seriously awry. But this is neurology and like biology, if you're able to get something that's even in the 70% range you're doing pretty good.
The reason being that it's a lot more complicated and the patters are much weaker. You can assume that all people's brains will be at least subtly different. Trying to figure out the hows and whys without knowing is a lot less straightforward, hence the lousy correlation. It's not like in physics where you can do the experiment, in most cases, and agree upon what happened.
If that's the case, then why do raptors have a larger portion of their neurons dedicated to processing optical sensor information than we do? And why do we dedicate a larger portion to the higher level functions than say an alligator?
Phrenology was always complete bunk, but this is quite a bit different. The main mistake people make is in making assertions which are too strong to be supported by the body of evidence. That is not to say that the size of various structures is meaningless.
I disagree, most of the abstract things we do for fun are things which are similar, identical or otherwise related to things that we had to do previously for survival.
It's not particularly obvious, but gambling is a good example. one of the things that our ancestors did before we gained bows and arrows and spears was to run down animals for food. It required a careful, albeit fast, consideration of the likely reaction by the prey and a swift reaction. Which is suspiciously similar to the risk/reward which tends to drive people to gamble.
Music is another good one, while it seems completely impractical, if you want to know what predators are out there it's a good idea to be plugged into the news network. Back in olden times that was bird calls and various animal noises. Being able to understand and replicate them was quite useful if you wanted to not be eaten or find something to eat.
I'm not sure how reliable those thoughts are, but the similarities involved are pretty substantial whether there's a causal relationship or not.
The amygdala is about the size of a walnut and sits right above your spinal cord. It's one of the oldest parts of the brain and is responsible primarily for being angry and scared.

Depending upon what you're doing, we either reached that point several years ago or never will.

No we won't. He's never claimed that he'd publish something that would out his source. Unless you've got a citation otherwise.
Balmer has a cock? Why wasn't I informed? I didn't realize he was a rooster aficionado.
