You know why else averages are deceptive? With an average $19K take per person, it would appear that a mastermind could enormously increase the haul by bringing more underlings.
1000 of my friends and associates are going to knock off the corner bank tonight. I'm organizing the party, and will take a modest 10% administrative cut of the net instead of my regular share. That's nearly two million. More if I can make some additional friends by tonight.
Neither extreme is particularly useful. The function of a technological tool doesn't discount the "coolness" of its longevity, at least for an audience of a site that promises "news for nerds."
On the other hand, perpetuating the myth that the actions of the American military have always been conducted to ensure Western freedom insinuates that, if it were not for the B-52s dumping more bombs on Asia during one Cold War operation than were dropped in all of WWII, then Americans would now be speaking Vietnamese.
Cut the bullshit or back that up with a citation. The issues related to annexing new territories are more complex than your simplistic and baseless statement would claim, particularly for a country that is not in the habit of colonizing.
If you want to talk baseless rumour, the dirt (from a politician-friend) is that the acquisition is still on the table. If T&C can show that they can keep their crime and local political issues in check, this could still be a mutually-beneficial union. At present, it's hard to tell.
Maybe if the instructors engaged and involved the class instead of yammering at them for hours on end, students wouldn't need to look elsewhere for engaging material.
The last time the party who won the election also won the popular vote was 1949. This is what happens when you have a system with more than two parties, and coalition governments are viewed as pacts with the devil.
The system is definitely broken -- not on the scale of US politics -- but well beyond the capacity of online voting to fix. The flaw is much more foundational.
The official figure is widely ridiculed and it fails to take into account certain demographics. Maybe you might want to check your facts before you post?
Fine then. Here are some unofficial figures that are less widely circulated, and which take into account other demographics: 8.7, -13.8, 156.3.
[NASA's] Associate Administrator for Space Operations, Bill Gerstenmaier, said it was the closest a debris object had ever come to the station. An analysis was now underway to try to understand its origin, he added.
My understanding is that the station mostly originated in the US and Russia, with help from about sixteen other countries. NASA's Associate Administrator for Space Operations should really know this, or at least be able to look this up on Wikipedia.
There are two fallacies here that need to be addressed:
- According to TFA, the site was making significant profits, so this is not a case of non-profit IP infringement.
- Users of the site have not been targeted. It was the operators and/or administrators of the site that have been arrested.
Your cynicism doesn't mean that the underlying reward principles of "gamification" don't work. Even military forces have long-known that they could avoid root issues by sugar-coating combat campaigns with "ranks" and "achievements."

Average a high, 3-digit IQ with hundreds of double and single digit IQs, and you'll find that the quotient is only raised by a disparagingly small amount.
You can't tell the length of a chamber from a photograph of the surface...It could have been that the un-collapsed section is in fact filled full of derbies.
The educated guess on the size of the chamber is much more likely than your conjecture that it is filled (to the brim) with stiff felt hats.
That's a legitimate concern. We're talking about a population famous for its complacency and apathy about the political process, and yet over 1% of the population -- a very significant number -- felt motivated enough to sign a petition and/or email their parliamentary representatives.

Actually, "backhanded" means that it is an insult. No need for cloaks or additional layers here.

According to the Canadian Mint, the final run of pennies are primarily a steel-based alloy:
Composition: 94% steel, 1.5% nickel, 4.5% copper plating or copper plated zinc
Weight (g): 2.35
It runs on "gasified pellets made from animal droppings and waste generated by the zoo's staff and human visitors"

You know that, for most intents and purposes, money is just data, right?
The only teachers who enjoy Blackboard are those who have never used any of the vastly superior alternative learning management systems.
This is analogous to the masses who "love" Internet Explorer.

- It gets you from A to B, slowly.
- It's buggy, but not to the extent that you'll lose hair over it.

Marvelous. Buying the law.
The future of music, with music labels crushed and Google dictating how musicians are paid, is bright.
I'd rather Google decide how musicians are paid than have labels dictate that they aren't.

Wait until the follow up when they add or subtract the necessary motes of time to re-sync the national time signal. It will be either

or

Better question why the press is always so binary and void of grey areas.
Because they're void of grey matter.
