Evolution does not suggest that man evolved from apes. You fail at trolling.
Aren't humans classified as great apes? Does evolution suggest that humans became apes directly from monkeys? Wouldn't it make sense for evolution to suggest an ape progenitor?
Is your computer 10 years old because the CEO is a tightwad or is it because your company has to wait 6 years for FDA approval that your computer won't adversely affect food preparation? I can guarantee it doesn't take your IT dept 10 years to buy you a new computer.
In general, a group of 5-15+ guys eat out together, the check comes (most places in NOLA will not do separate checks), we get the bill, add on 20% for tip, and split it evenly between everyone there.
I always insist on separate checks because I usually order steak. I would feel bad making everyone else pay for my indulgence.
Yeah! The democrats had unassailable majorities in both houses of congress, but it was the republicans who did it! And they were the ones who prevented the democrat supermajority from passing (or even writing) a budget. They have magical powers, those republicans....
It does if the fad is killed with a week of inactivity. I'm reminded of the Simpsons episode where the children go outside after the Krusty the Clown show is canceled. People will find something else fun to do. If Xbox is that other thing, then it is better by default.
However, long before we had scanners and the like, we were able to design very simple word documents that could be filled in and then printed on pre-printed stationary.
"This document contains Macros, and current Active Directory Group Policies forbid loading of Macros in Microsoft Office. Please contact your Administrator."
To which the AA thinks to herself "I'm the Office Administrator! *@$^!"
Back when Doom first came out, my brother's computer couldn't handle the game except when it was super-tiny. So we used an Armitron to hold up a plastic, rectangular magnifying glass, like in Brazil.
There's no helping the bottom 50% who insist that their strength of character, "street smarts", life experience, or wisdom makes IQ inaccurate.
It's not the bottom 50% saying that. A lot of them are happy where they are. It's the people in the 100-120 range that get riled about not being smart enough.

Oh come on! Really? This is like candy for grammar Nazis! Or is that Nazi's?...
Potential indicators of the presence of an alien civilization might include: atmospheric pollutants, like chlorofluorocarbons â" which, unlike methane or molecular oxygen, are clearly manufactured rather than just biogenically produced
Clearly? Maybe here on earth. Who knows what natural processes exist elsewhere.
The problem with those kinds of tests is they are designed to aim straight for the middle of the bell curve
That's why if you're really smart, they make you take further IQ tests that are aimed progressively higher up. Answering interesting questions can eventually become an exercise in tedium though, so they have to spread it out.
Please no.
1. Fighter Pilots are trained to read their HUDs, and also trained (presumably) in how to ignore them when appropriate.
2. Fighter jets usually don't fly in super-tight formations (Blue Angels being the exception). Especially not in tight formations of hundreds or thousands.
SatNav should be restricted to passenger or vehicle-stopped usage.
I'm about as anti-Apple as anyone and invariably get modded Troll for making even oblique anti-Apple references.
Well, there's your problem. You're not being direct enough. The mods think you're on Apple's side.
Strangely, it's almost true. If you're "meh" about Apple, the Apple fans mod you down for saying something mildly offensive, but you're not being offensive enough for the Apple haters to mod you up. And everyone else doesn't care about mild comments unless they're funny.
1. For most people the minimum buy in nonsense for Ubuntu is a computer that can run the install program. Every Apple machine you buy new today can run OS X. There are lots of computers out there that can run Linux but don't have the power or RAM to run the desktop Ubuntu install program.
What? I'm currently running Ubuntu on an ancient single core 800MHz machine. No performance issues except when I run dosbox. So you're saying that the set of usable linux computers (including computers that are so old they can only handle a command line mode and super-slow at that) has a small percentage that will run Ubuntu, but you select a very tight group for Mac OS X? Use the same groups of computers. Ubuntu runs on PPC computers that Mac OS X has dropped from the supported list: Apple computers.
It's not. It's totally, perfectly legal. But after 9/11, police started cracking down on anyone taking an "unusual interest" in large or famous structures. What's more, as your sibling points out below, structures where owners have think they own trademarks on their image hire rent-a-cops (often off-duty real cops) to harass photographers who take photos (citing bogus permits etc). Surprised you didn't have a problem in Boston.

Sony, I thought you said no CC numbers were exposed! How will we ever trust you again when you lie like this? A month of PSN Plus you say?

Tip calculations? I indescriminalty drop a wad of fifties on the table.

They turned me into a Newt Gingrich!
There's an app for that
Anyone remember those things? You know, the ones that scanners and email replaced? This thing was the progenitor of *those*, not the iPad.
Soon stories on gene splicing or astrophysics will have iPad tie-ins. iPads might not sell, but they draw eyes!
I think the last thing that Valve would want at the moment is any potential crossover between the compromised PSN and their Steam system.
Or any perceived crossover. PSN has the plague!

Can you get a high score on IQ tests on motivation alone?
No. It takes a fist full of quarters.
HIGH SCORE!

How would that answer differ from what they can and do do with IQ results?
He said "do do". Uh huh huhuhuh. "do do with IQ results"
But there is such a thing in Palladium RPG. Expand your role playing mind.
