In the US, we can't ban mobile phones from schools because then how would students be able to tell their parents goodbye when they're hiding in a closet from a member of the well-regulated militia?
Because forsome reason a lot of people define pc as a comuuter runnng ms windows, as opposet to a personal comuter (nor a min computer (see DEC VAX etc) or mainframes. Man Iâ(TM)m getting old alltho Ikve never used a Mini mysel, I destincly remember my father using a vax at for fiir som early GIS
I have a Compaq Portable that I use for plane trips.
Sir, I just want to say that you get a lot of undeserved 'hate' here.
I appreciate that. I'm actually the most beloved commenter on Slashdot (see the official Slashdot polls, 2006-2018). There is s small vocal group of losers and haters here who try to denigrate me, but everyone recognizes them for what they are.
When Slashdot readers meet me on the street, I get nothing but love.
Well done, PopeRatzo. You really called him out on that particular choice of words! How DARE he carelessly mix up PC and laptop! It's such a good thing we have you here to put people in their place over these transgressions!
Anecdotal yes but I fly a lot as well and everyone pulls out a tablet , almost no one pulls our a pc.
You are correct. Very few people will pull out their full-size tower, monitor, keyboard and mouse on an airplane. I'm not sure why. Maybe it has something to do with aspect ratios.
It's unfortunate that the genius planners keep wanting to pack us into them then.
If you think Houston, New Orleans, Galveston, Tampa or other coastal cities were designed by "genius planners", then you really need to try to visit them sometime.
This is a good move by Steam. Give users the tools to block games and devs who are just making the 4chan Flash games and then let anybody post their games. Allow curators to post block lists of the really shitty developers, so trolls lose their intended audience.
The scumbags will still complain though. They'll say that blocking them is censorship and there will much whining and salt, but the rest of us can continue on as if nothing ever happened.
Actually, it's quite possible to create a set of equations that are Earth-centric, and fully compatible with Relativity. They'd be a real pain in the ass to work out, even compared to the Einsteinian equations, but they'd be completely compatible.
Science is more than a "set of equations". There's also observation to take into account. And we have observations now from Voyager and other long-range spacecraft.
Who the fuck cares what a majority of Americans believe? There are Americans who believe Canada is responsible for burning down the White House, so why exactly should we pay any attention to them? A better approach would be to confiscate all their guns, give them free cable TV and then we'd never have to worry about them again.
It all depends on your frame of reference. You can pick a frame of reference where the earth is perfectly still. Granted, it's a non-inertial frame of reference which make celestial mechanics a bitch to deal with, but you can do it, and it will work.
How do you make the retrograde motion of planets work in a geocentric system? You really going to try to make planets jumping around in space "work"?
What is the "other side" to Copernicus' view that the Earth revolves around the Sun? It's been almost half a millennium, so you've had plenty of time to come up with something.
She's hiding Barron from the fallout around his father being a serial whore-fucker who can't even keep himself from knocking them up. Let her have some peace, wherever she's hiding.
So, you're saying she's hiding out with the Obamas having a polyamorous relationship? Makes sense. If you think back to the inauguration, you could tell that there was chemistry there.
If this were an episode of Homeland, right at this moment, Melania would be in a bunker having a nice chat with Robert Mueller.
"Can we get you something to drink, Madame First Lady? Maybe some tea?"
"He wets the bed and sleeps in a hairnet, Bob. I can't take it any more. I'm willing to go back inside one more time, this time with a wire. But I want a team protecting me. If he puts one of those greasy little hands on me again, just take him out."
"We can do that, Madame First Lady. And may I say, you're a lovely woman?"
"Why Bob, I was wondering when you were going to notice. I'll take that tea now."

They might predict the observation from Earth, but not from say, the ISS or the Moon or Voyager. That's what's meant by being not compatible.

I do my part, because I care.

Are you suggesting that Donald Trump went to school in Canada? Why is this being hidden from Americans?

No, we really didn't have 60 hours. "Modern forecasting" did not have the hurricane moving directly over Houston until a day before it hit.
So, you're agreeing with the original poster who believes "proper science never has just one side"?
You're setting up a strawman to refute something I never said.
Oh boy, are you wrong.

The major issue with evacuations is that there really are no good ways to empty out cities and coastal areas always have cities.

We have evidence of a new fundamental particle, but still no sign of Melania?
What good is science if they can't even track down an AWOL First Lady?
The first use of this new facial recognition will be to try to catch Melania as she seeks asylum status with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Wait, so now I'm confused. One of the features of iOS 12 is that it will eradicate breast cancer?
Imma go put some money into Apple stock, stat.
You sound just like my wife. But you give a better wobble-job.
If you acknowledge that school shooters are part of a well-regulated militia, then sure.
That's not my tears you're tasting. That's my pre-cum.
Don't stop.
