what if you buy a quotation that is itself quoting another AP article? Do you have to pay twice? What if the article is quoting itself? An infinite loop of profitability! Finally online content has a sustainable business model.
if you are correctly positioned as a trusted supplier, there are cases when you can get paid for delivering no product at all, but merely for carrying out the ritual of delivering a product, with all the paperwork thereunto appertaining.
I am playing a ranked match against somebody named some variant of '420niggah' (classy I know) and as soon as I am about to drop a coup de grace, they just quit. YOu what would make that even more fun? Losing real money each time it happens. No thanks.
.. if someone develops a FPS where you shoot Hispanic 8-year-old females everyone will be happy? I kinda doubt it..
I'd be careful what you're proposing. I honestly believe that a Latina woman, with the richness of her experience, would insta gib any noob cracker who didn't live that life.
I think people are approaching this problem the wrong way. If we accept the Turing test as a reasonable means of identifying machine intelligence, clearly the logical solution is not smarter machines, but dumber humans. with a few generations of selective breeding we could achieve artificial intelligence using a pocket calculator
I've always wondered how much injustice is perpetrated by drug screening on large populations, since false positives do occur and statistically must occur twice in a row at least some of the time, which is the threshold considered conclusive proof of abuse by most employers and the courts.
this very problem came up in England a while ago, but for SIDS deaths. If I recall correctly, some statistician testified at a murder trial as to the infinitesimal chance that a mother would have two infants die from SIDS separately. In fact, granted the size of the population, it is not unlikely for two SIDS deaths to happen to some mother somewhere in the country. Perhaps someone else can remember the details.
here's an article but it's not free: http://bjps.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/axm015v1
if you really believe that there is no relationship whatsoever between correlation and causation, such that you can reflexively dismiss every reported correlation with this little snippet of nonsense, then you're pretty much committed to nothing being caused by anything.
well, both of those things apply to me, but I see no proof that the former causes the latter.
yes, they can even change the contents of your books after you have purchased them; the Kindle it's a censor wet dream).
that leads to some interesting profit models, such as: "For a $5 charge, Dumbledore will live through the next chapter. Otherwise HE WILL DIE. Make your choice."
It's a good thing breathing is an involuntary action, cause there are a lot of people out there who'd forget to.
that means it's a bad thing

You went out of your way to praise your Dad for having the foresight to move beyond his comfort zone by bringing home a computer. Isn't computing simply your version of "sports and cars"? Shouldn't you be trying to emulate your father by moving beyond your comfort zone and bringing home something that will inspire your kids to pursue their own interests rather than yours?
whether you see a greater evil in suppression of speech or unreasoning hatred.
I think the case can be made that suppression of speech is a potent means of perpetuating unreasoning hatred. One is unlikely to change a person's mind by preventing him from speaking it.
despite the flamebait mod, OP has a valid point, namely the fact that, as with curing any diseases with a genetic basis, one is affecting the germ line of the next generation (which now contains the disease, whereas the absence of a cure would have reduced this likelihood). Many people are against direct germ-line therapy (ie, deliberately introducing changes into a sperm cell so that the baby grows up with a larger brain or whatever). Yet it's conceivable that the result of fixes like this will be that germ-line therapy is necessary to avoid the proliferation of genetic diseases on account of somatic cell cures. The alternative will be children with multiple serious diseases that must be cured each generation at great potential cost.
I wasn't sure where you were going until the end there. That would be entertaining. How long before we'd see the first attempts at defining a person as the result of a straight man's sperm fertilizing a straight female's egg in a marriage. Probably called "Defense of humanity" act.
except gay people can have straight kids, so you'd actually want to somehow ask the sperm (nicely) whether he was gay. Then if he says yes, you'll need to freeze him until scientists develop a cure (for homosexuality or religion, take your pick)
This makes sense, I have been using RC 4wheel drive cars to run cable under craw spaces and in some cases, across long stretches of drop ceilings for a couple of years now. The great thing is that I can deduct toys from my taxes.
This makes sense, I have been using "RC 4wheel drive cars" as a simple search string for auditing tax returns for years now.
The article says "After unlocking its hidden message in 2007". This is hardly 'just'. The solution was more recently published though. Interesting article.
he's obviously using the same definition of "just" that I use when I tell my wife I just took out the garbage so get off my back

there's no need to bring religion into this

As they say, any press is good press. The unwashed masses are only hearing "Apple, Apple, Apple".
unless it's a cider press. those are bad for apples.

why are they cloning better drug dogs, when you could completely solve the problem simply by cloning people who aren't drug dealers?

Same should be done with music. Eventually, you'll start getting paid to listen to Van Halen's Jump (as one should be)
or they could just slow down the song, so you would still pay the same amount, but get far more music for your money.

yeah, why don't you bring home a real python
If you can't say something other people don't want to hear, you do not have free speech.
I argue this whenever I read limericks at a poetry jam, but they still throw their coffee cups at me.

I find the best way to remove a bra is to make sure that things are moving smoothly and then say, "Lose the bra".
I prefer to use that as a pickup line. To each his own I guess.

This is knows as the Hottie-Frigid paradox. The most scorching hot women are nearly certain to be lousy in bed.
every girl I've had in my bed has been lousy, but to be fair, most of the louses were there to begin with
Of course, having gone through boot camp, you'll never know for sure if that's really what you think, or if that's what they told you to think ;)
At my boot camp, they drilled into my head the idea that boot camps don't work. I now believe this notion only to the extent that it is false.

usually you copy a tattoo from tattoo flash art. clearly his copying skills needed more work
