If I'm looking for information on a given concept or word, I go straight to Wikipedia. If I'm looking for more general or technical information on a subject, I go to Google.
To me it's not really an either/or situation, plus Wikipedia can be very lacking in some areas, especially current events or information about more specialised fields.
I'd say Wikipedia and Google are safe from each other (though leaning more towards Wikipedia, since Google often sends you there anyway).
While the report focuses on Indian call centres, has any research been done into centres in other countries? It may be that it's not an 'Indian-only' phenomenon, but something that happens everywhere else as well.
for the most part, they need to devote a much greater amount of time on a topic to grasp it to the same level as an intellectually mediocre man.
Oh please come over here and say that, since poor, little, intellectually deficient me couldn't understand it.
Actually, sarcasm aside, I've found the exact opposite to be true. A large number of the males I work with need things explained in small words, occassionally with explanatory diagrams to understand even relatively basic technical concepts (ok, so for the most part they're accountants, but still...)
Is it just me, or do these guys have the coolest jobs on the planet? Spending your time designing experiments, building stuff, and then if all else fails, blowing it up! Does it get any better than that?
Only the little missles look like they could be USB controlled. The rest just seem to be drawing power from the USB port.
Got that one for my Dad for Father's day. Not only are the missiles controlled by USB, it comes complete with realistic soundeffects, and ducking co-workers! (nothing like a little in-office terror:)
Wouldn't this be some sort of breach of contract or communication? Since the guys who replied believed they were responding to an individual, and thus most likely consider it a private communication, would they be able to take legal action?
The toaster was right!! I knew I shouldn't have listened to the refrigerator! (evil thing, always tempting me with sweet, sweet, caffeinated beverages) *twitch*
Why watch them - why didn't she do a text analysis of the scripts/director nots and compare this to other texts? Watching seems subjective and a tremendous time suck. Am I missing something?
I'm guessing it's because a lot can be conveyed through body language and actor interaction that can't adequately be described on the page (That and it's way easier than reading:)
Surely this could be managed by setting up crops in such a way / location that they could be irrigated by sewage (either pre or post-treatment)? Since the crops aren't going as a food source, the quality of the water doesn't need to be as high as for domestic use.
(plus dependent on the location, it could have an added benefit of recharging local aquifers)
used to wear shirts, Hats, underwear, my shoes had Nintendo laces, I watched the Super Mario super show, read Nintendo Power like it was the bible, ate the ceral, played my NES like it was a gift from god and was damn proud of it.
I think the idea was to superglue the magnet to one part of the can, so that it can magnetically hold the other side down, not unlike the magnetic catch on some cupboards (Or you could just superglue the whole thing if you like, but it'd be a bitch to get your ipod out again)
From TFA The Coke can method
Get a Coke can, drink the contents, rinse out the can. Carefully cut the lid section off the can. Superglue a small magnet to the inside of the upper lip of the can so that it's flush with the open top of the can.
a) Aluminium isn't magnetic, it wouldn't hold the can closed
b) Is it really that good an idea to have a magnet that close to your ipod?
Just to add, the cactoblastus moth (no, I'm not kidding about the name) was introduced to deal with the prickly pear, and (for once) was actually fairly successful in doing so (not all introductions are bad, just the ones that aren't properly researched)
Foxes were introduced to try and get the rabbits, Cane Toads to get the Prickly Pear.
Actually, cane toads were introduced to tackle the problem of a particular beetle/grub that was destroying the sugar cane crops (the grubs also being an introduced species).

Man, Cpt Kirk's not going to like that!
Heh.

Just because it's the internet, and the people who replied were at the very least, foolish, doesn't mean that the law doesn't still apply.
(And just a friendly, grammar-nazi tip, it's "staggered", not "staggared" )

Oh man...does that mean I saved up all that gold, and I'm not really going to get a pony?!?!

You say that like it's a bad thing....
Man...that's dead in dog years!
Don't forget "and watched Captain N: The Game Master ."
A use for all that spare Lego I have hanging around!

I don't know about that, I enjoy at least 3 of those 4 on a regular basis :)
