He covered that. Any difference there may be is too subtle for him to reliably determine with his eyes. I would have to agree with him too.
Of course, that's all that really matters isn't it? Lossy pictures are for looking at, and if by looking at under normal circumstances and with normal scrutiny you can't tell the difference, then who really cares?
Searching "I hate cheeseburgers" with no safe search, and "I hate cheeseburgers" with 'strict' safesearch seems to return me the exact same page of results. Honestly I don't think I've often seen that happen, so maybe something else is going on. *shrug*
Anyway, this brings up a good point. Why don't they just do this when safesearch is turned on, and leave the results alone when it is turned off? Isn't this exactly what safesearch is for?
If I type in "I hate cheeseburgers", it doesn't show me the results. Yet when I press enter all the results are completely benign. Even if I cut it off at "I hate", the results are still rather safe.
If they are really doing as you say, then their algorithm for determining "naughty" things is more wacked than my mothers.
You do realize that the chronological version of Memento came with regular version as a "special feature", right? Hardly a Lucas style moneygrab. I don't know why you bought three copies either...
There are no doctors out there just rubbing their hands together and laughing maniacally about how many otherwise viable children they intend to kill off
Well it's not really that I like or use it (I'm a latex guy...), but I enjoyed being able to put "experience in Oracle's OpenOffice.org" on my resume. Helps get it past HR goons who only grep for a few words.;)
Oh oh oh, but if we don't burn the ethanol but instead SEQUESTER it in oaken barrels then that CO2 will never be re-released into the environment! Why do you hate mother nature?!?/idiot-mode
People don't use those sorts of trees for fuel, it's not cost effective. That sort of wood is far to valuable for other uses, greatly due to their slow growing nature. Fast growing farmed pine trees are the preferred trees for fuel.
Sequestering CO2 in trees is absolutely retarded. Unlike coal, trees don't just chill out in one state for millions of years. The best you'll ever do is a handful of thousand of years, and that is a rather rare extreme. If you cut down a tree that usually lives for 100 years after 20 years, and burn it, you've done no net damage.
Even if the black holes the LHC might create don't evaporate, they'd be rather harmless.
Why? Well their radius is terribly small so the chances of collisions with anything else are pretty small. Furthermore, their mass is extremely small as well and gravity is the weakest of the forces. They would have a extremely difficult time ever gaining more mass.
Not to mention, if they don't evaporate then there is a fair chance they are all over the place already, thanks to cosmic ray strikes.
I'm not commenting about the use of such interviews for the positions in this particular situation. I don't know the details, and can't be bothered to RTFA...
I'm just explaining what the purpose of those interview questions is at all, because it's something that may not be immediately obvious to all readers.
More accurately, people should stop caring about the crap other people do. Blackmail works if the people around you (your boss, your wife/family, your coworkers, your friends, your neighbors...) let it.
The spouse one is a big one. There can be big financial consequences involved there.
The "sexual history" questions will unfortunately remain relevant in background checks for highly important/secret positions so long as sexual history related topics remain highly taboo in society. The (intended) purpose of these questions is to determine if the applicant has anything in their past that would make particularly them subjective to blackmail.
They leave a bad taste in my mouth too, which is why I avoid those sorts of jobs...
The Declaration of Independence was ratified on July 4, 1776, something like 7 years before the Treaty of Paris was signed ending the war.
Prior to 1776 (the war started in 1775 iirc) you could be correct, but afterwards those soldiers were only British subjects in the eyes of the British themselves.

Personally I'm just baffled that there are still hotels without free wifi. Where in the world do you find those?
I hear in this version Buzz Aldrin shoots first.
This explains... so much.
So your point is that you're a troll. Gotcha.
PizzaAnalogyGuy was way better.
You would make a fantastic bookie. Want to bet on some horse races?

I couldn't get into medical school. :(
Don't go to Boston...
What's the alternative? Step back and watch it burn every few years?
Either one is carbon neutral, what is your point?
Well it's not really that I like or use it (I'm a latex guy...), but I enjoyed being able to put "experience in Oracle's OpenOffice.org" on my resume. Helps get it past HR goons who only grep for a few words. ;)
And to think how many people would still be alive if we gave up on building ships a few thousand years ago!
As noted by others, those particles don't have zero radius.
For fun though, you can calculate the radius different masses would have to have to collapse into a singularity.

Actually your wood-burning stove has zero CO2 emission. Where do you think the CO2 that is being released came from?

No. Facebook doesn't do data-mining, and they don't serve ads. They simply pull money out of their ass.
