Fighting has little to NOTHING to do with who is tough/bigger/stronger. If you are remotely physically fit even if the guy is twice your size. You can win in a fight. Fights have EVERYTHING to do with who is willing to put it out there. If you can bite back the pain of a punch, even if you are smaller you can inflict damage back. And the one that wins is the one that is willing to continue. Bullies want to show dominance, they want to show how tough they are to others. But they rarely are willing to take an elbow to the throat for it.
In my school my bully was doing the standard showing how tough/cool he was at lunch by making me get more drinks for the table (think Hogwarts style giant cafeteria) I got it last time so I told him to piss off. So he a little pissed that I didn't submit flipped my plate onto my lap saying 'oops' and laughing it up with his friends/lackeys. So I got up steaming as he continued to make fun of me. Grabbed his fingers and twisted his arm behind his back and slammed his face into the table as hard as I could. It was really loud... in a room with about 800 people in it silencing to only him whimpering and me telling him to fuck off. It felt empowering afterward but at the time I was too terrified horrified and enraged to notice. Suffice to say my outburst nearly got me expelled mid term, while his tormenting other students was never punished (he used to be pretty bad to other students). And it was completely worth it. It is good to know that you won't bend over and take abuse, good to know that you are in control and don't have to take people's shit.
Yeah, and in the original 1998 article they had a lot of concerns with the study which they highlighted.
Scientific verification has levels. First you write a paper. Next other scientists read your paper and say whether or not the methods used or the conclusion reached is bullshit. From there raw data is released for more in depth reviews. After that other scientists/doctors in the field REPLICATE your results. Some cases can be scaled up (n of 1000, 10000) and other ideas/holes are tested.
Peer review is just the second step really. And it isn't like it is some magical stamp. If I wrote a paper and had 1 other person read it that is accredited then i can claim peer review but that doesn't mean fuck all. That is why there are journals (like lancet) that provide a sort of trusted source. Find a journal you trust and follow them, just like news (sucky). So it works pretty well, if you don't like peer review look for the 'independently verified' sticker.
I believe in global warming and all that. But desertification is mostly NOT caused by global warming. It is caused by over grazing, deforestation, and removal of water from an area (think dams and irrigation). It is also a self perpetuating cycle (dunes spread). Just wanted to clear that up.
SpaceX launches its falcon 9 in the next few months. And it will hold the dragon spacecraft. The 1st few missions will be unmanned but the dragon is fully capable of doing manned missions (with minor reconfiguration). Expect to see it happen in the next ~2 years.
The falcon 9 heavy configuration lifts 30Mg to LEO. It will probably be up and running in next year or two. (The Falcon 9 regular's maiden flight will be in the next month or two). The ares 5 lifts 150Mg to LEO. Problem is that it wouldn't be ready for 2018~2020. That is quite a big difference! That and the cost will be many times as much. (I did notice the size difference, but I still think SpaceX will be working towards a heavy lift vehicle by the time ares would be completed)
I don't think this is an Idiocracy type issue; It is a statement about the number of foreigners in Waterloo. In fact, Waterloo is often called 'Waterwoo' to ridicule the HUGE Asian in the school. Having been there 50% of the population not having English as a first language would not be surprising.
If the issue stated was that people can slip through the cracks or foreigners aren't subject to high enough scrutiny then so be it.
That is closing something not opening it. So the example you are looking for would be to open source windows 98 and pay windows for the opportunity. But the analogy still isn't even that good:/
Yep, I've seen that video (loved it). And that's why I said 'often'. I know not all people are in the same situation. But! The people dying of diseases that are easily avoidable, they fit into the lower tiers of african 3rd world.
Hours probably but not all night. It doesn't matter though, we only need batteries to be a tiny tiny bit better. They don't need to be unstoppable machines. They just need to outdo the driver. If you plug it in for a lunch break, a piss break or two, and overnight when you goto sleep... you are getting CLOSE to being able to drive forever. The main issue is that plugs aren't everywhere yet and there isn't a nice set up. So long as companies are sticking in lots of these outlets as they do renos it shouldn't be a big deal. (I would suggest getting a GPS that lets you install your own POIs though for charge stations)
Spacex has done it for well less than a billion. Not to the moon but they have put satellites into LEO and have lunar (orbit/impact, 4500kg) capabilities as well as a space ship to dock with the ISS... Times have changed:D...... Not to belittle the problems involved in actually landing on and getting off the moon. But I think they can manage.
Mod parent up. Bloodsuckers is the perfect term. Google is already giving them more then they'd have had otherwise.
The issue must be even more prescient in your field. The pain of watching a book about the library of Alexandria fall into disrepair would be palpable.
"All Macs come with XCode and an extensive set of developer tools = for free!" Whoopedeedoo, there are hundreds of windows options for free, same with linux.
"Schools can sign up for free rights for students to develop for the iPhone/iTouch/iPad and are encouraged to teach courses on it." According to other people in this thread that isn't true: http://apple.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1531538&cid=30973850 And again, whoopedeefuckingdoo. Its free for android and winmo and nokia w/e the fuck.
"Anyone can sign up as an iPhone developer on their own for $99/yr." That fucking sucks! Seriously.
"To a large degree Apple has turned a blind eye to the jailbreak community."
For winmo and android there is no jailbreak community because you don't need to fucking jailbreak your phone. And getting your device bricked doesn't make you feel ignored...
"I hardly think Apple is trying to keep people from.... doing cool new things. "
If it doesn't fit with their vision then yes they are...
"It appears that Apple has relaxed some of their rules with the announcement of the iPad so I wouldn't be surprised to see some user-programmable apps" Joy, users can make aps, you sound like apple fucking invented the idea.
"Also, there is nothing stopping anyone from creating a tool to develop web-based apps for the iPhone/iPad from the iPhone/iPad. You could do quite a lot with that given the capabilities of Safari."
Thanks, the ipad/iphone are internet capable, since when is that such a big fucking thing to brag about. Right here apple is providing NOTHING. BTW, the ipad doesn't support flash so forget that. I suppose i could make rich uhh.... php text based games.
Sorry if this sounds rude but, what a fucking shill. Lots of things you listed are nothing to be proud of or alternately a horribly shitty thing that no competitors have. And you act as if apple's shit is pure gold.
True, a couple billion will be lost. Long term though is this a better way to proceed with space travel? If so, we'd need to flip over eventually so the cost isn't much.
I've thought for a long time that the US gov should pitch 100mil or so to the lunar X-prize, maybe 500mil to a martian prize. The prize system has shown that this method is highly efficient. Why not use it?
It isn't a fallacy assuming we are going to eventually create a similar rocket...
Sort of like making half a pizza, throwing it out, buying a pizza then later making a pizza. If instead you made a pizza then bought a pizza you'd have gotten the same results for less effort/money. (/trying to make pizzaanalogyguy proud)
I do though think that this sort of fallacy is problematic and we should make certain to avoid it.
Getting out of a debate with some right wingers made that stand out for me, never use the word red when talking about funding. They'll be sure to think it is a communist plot to get to space.
"They're never going to get us into mars, because there's simply no profit in it. Government funding is the only way space exploration can go forward."
Good thing you read the summary. "...a lot of money will go toward private space companies..."
GP came off as "wahh wahh my western lifestyle is so hard, if those sub-Saharan Africans knew how hard life was in an american 'nuclear' family they definitely wouldn't have kids".
Clearly that is fucking bullshit.
And I realize that ethnic cleansings aren't everywhere, Africa is a huge place. But I imagine the FEAR of it is quite widespread. And I know that kids whining because they are spoiled is not a top concern in most/all of Africa. To say it is belittles the problems they face day to day.

Didn't realize palpable was particularly noteworthy... I have wanted to call a republican a misoneist...
... Right~~, a fear of change.
On a related note, The symbol for the Dems is a donkey; What was the Rep symbol again?
And before the bipartisan bitching starts, it was just a joke.
Yep, I've seen that video (loved it). And that's why I said 'often'. I know not all people are in the same situation. But! The people dying of diseases that are easily avoidable, they fit into the lower tiers of african 3rd world.

I know it sucks and all but.... 20% is a pretty nice chunk. I bet the next car they put out will be available to 25% maybe even 30....
