I think it's the "as they like" bit that's causing the confusion. That's not quite right, but I'm not sure where it's made more clear. Of course, IANACS. Maybe someone who is happens to read/. and can enlighten us.
I'm thinking that since those transparent plastic sheets for screen protectors are sold (I have one on my phone) that it is possible to scratch the screen, and since people are not using diamond or carbide styli on them, either the surface of the screen is not really glass or something else is going on. I also understand that anti-reflective and anti-smudge (polymer) coatings are used, and that these are probably softer than glass.
I think you're overreacting to what he said. He just wants a moderate to win and thinks that only extreme right or left ever win in actuality. You can't vote for the candidates except in your own party (the party in which you are registered to vote) in most states (all?) in a primary election. In the general election (like the one happening today) you can vote for any candidate on the ballot, but because of the primary process, it is felt by many (including GP I think) that we end up with extremist candidates to choose from on the general election ballot. I think GP is saying that he'd rather have a moderate from the "other party" win than even the extremist from his own party, opposite of the conclusion you drew.
True that. I looked it up after I posted (oops) and saw I didn't get exactly right, but the gist was correct. It was one guy who came up with it, and he did it thinking that Americans associate Denmark with good stuff. He just kept making up nonsense that looked Danish to him until he got Häagen-Dazs. (we left off the nonsensical umlaut)
FYI, Haagen Dasz is not from any language. Marketing types invented it. I suppose it sounds/looks like some Scandinavian language, but it's really just made up.
Well, there's quoting to justify (is there?), and then there's quoting to illustrate or illuminate. If he had quoted Shakespeare, would it have been OK?
I remember reading that Maslow's hierarchy was recently updated by someone to include...get this...parenting. At the top, no less (that would be the bottom of GP's list.)
Electron tunneling is not like going *through* a layer, so much as it's like having a certain probability of being on the other side to begin with. One of those quantum things.
He was probably thinking of abundance in earth's crust and assuming the universe is the same. But no, Si is a distant second to oxygen in abundance in the Earth's crust. It's the most abundant element in the Earth's crust that is a solid at room temperature. There you go.
4% of Americans have greater than 5 million lifetime income.
That's the answer to a question GP didn't ask. How many of those are receiving welfare benefits? My guess is close to zero percent. We agree they should not, but they already do not. It will not help.

Dear UK,
We've considered it and the answer is "no".
Thanks,
The USA.
Seriously, if one person in sixty million is moved to violent action by a video, is the problem the video, or that one person?

Toast? Seriously?
What about fresh fruit?
It can be quite dangerous too.
I wonder if metallic threads in the gloves will eventually scratch the screens. Would you use steel wool on your touchscreen?
He's referring to this. You missed the memo...er, meme?
How about just a little foundation then?

Actually it is just one question, followed by a nonsense sentence that happens to end with a question mark.
It's easy to see it's not a tough decision, since we have both!

Unfortunately, rare earths are not used to make diodes or semiconductors, so this doesn't help that situation.

Do you call mercury "hydrargyrum"? Why not? Are you ignorant?
It's a bowl used for washing up (washing dishes) in. It's a Britishism, AFAIK.
And they're not sure it really weighs 2 kilograms.

I remember NCSA Mosaic. Ran it on my Mac back in the day, along with Gopher and Eudora. Don't remember watching too many videos with Mosaic though.
Hey this is slashdot. I bet most sexual encounters are with their electronic devices.
FTFY.

Mr. Hannibal Lecter does not like your proposal. He would like to consume your liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti.
