these all sound a lot like superbouncing in halo 2. no game mods required. just some kind of bad programming that lets you bounce out of the level if you jump in certain spots after running into a wall for a while.
The apparent plural form in English, like the French plural form les mathématiques (and the less commonly used singular derivative la mathématique), goes back to the Latin neuter plural mathematica (Cicero), based on the Greek plural (ta mathmatiká), used by Aristotle, and meaning roughly "all things mathematical". In English, however, mathematics is a singular noun, often shortened to math in English speaking North America and maths elsewhere.
well ill tell u what... ive seen cops on every major road i can think of doin the whole 'speed in the left lane and tailgate the guy in front of them until they move out of the way' maneuver more times than i can count. no lights. no sirens.
they must have missed that 'only in an emergency' rule during training.
wait, i thought cops were allowed to speed... kinda like how they can run red lights and stuff. since when do traffic violations apply to police cars?
is this just an east-coast thing or do cops everywhere routinely exceed the speed limit whenever they please?
what country are you from? I was planning on criticizing you for spelling skeptic as sceptic, however I did a little research and see that the US spelling is skeptic - which would imply that the spelling somewhere outside the US is, in fact, sceptic.
yes but you've missed the point.. you are the minority in your area. you aren't forced to exercise due to city living - whereas ALL people in the city are forced to do so. you are given the opportunity to be lazy, which is what many of those around you choose to do. you just happen to be one who chooses to stay in shape. and the fact that you are the minority in the area is just the reason you got so testy about my comment - you like to be in shape and are proud of your minority elitist status.
lazy people choose not to live in cities where they will have to walk so much, therefore they get fat living in the suburbs where they can be lazy and drive. its not the suburbs that make you fat, its the attitude of the people who choose to live in the suburbs that leads to those results. lazy people aren't interested in living in a city where one is required to walk places, they want to drive their car and avoid effort. so in a way the study is correct, but it's missing the human element.
also, to address the point made earlier suggesting that teenagers in the burbs, who are given no input on their living location, are heavier because there are less walking opportunities - that all depends on whether you value nature or nurture. actually, it mainly depends on if you consider either one of them. the fat people are obviously going to have fat kids because a) its probably in the family genes and b) if your parents are fat they are probably lazy (unless they have some sort of genetic deformity - refer to part a) and a large portion of childrens' development is based on their main role models - their parents - therefore they pick up on those lazy traits. so if the fat people live in the suburbs, fat kids are gonna live there too and it's not just because there are less walking opportunities.
I wonder then, do the people at neteller not have a lawyer?? If you're so sure that habeas corpus will help these guys out (which I don't disagree with), then why would neteller have such a drastic response to this arrest?
Wouldn't this be more useful to detect RPG's? Then we could install them on our choppers out in the field and save military lives (more of a guarantee than this commercial airliner crap). Anyone know the feasibility of this? The article made me think of the two choppers we lost in Somalia, a story portrayed by the movie Black Hawk Down, to RPG's.
yah im glad you wrote that cuz i was about to... the reason myspace is so popular is cause they let you do all those things that jackass just said they shouldn't let you do... yeah, people are stupid and they cant write code. so what? myspace lets them think they can! and its not important whether you can actually do something, only if you believe you can do it.
personal experience: ive met a number of 30-something chicks at the bar who hit on my 20-something friends. they've all had myspace accounts.. you hit the nail on the head.
another good test to see if your two commas are appropriate is to read the sentence without including the phrase between those two commas. if your sentence makes sense this way then your commas are probably appropriate since the section between the commas is either slightly off-topic or is some sort of modifier.
Problem is you are speaking of finance, while I speak of marketing. Most business courses will tell you to invest in Microsoft because they have the numbers that you want to see in terms of profits, sales, spending, etc. However, my point is that the marketing scheme that Apple is using to make their profits jump is that kind of product differentiation. This is a common marketing scheme and I would be surprised if you took a marketing course without being introduced to this. I agree that 10-15 years ago Microsoft was a great buy as a stock. But my point is that Apple is trying to steal some market share by convincing folks that they don't want money - rather they want to change the world. It's a great way of convincing the 'think different' kiddies out there that they aren't money hungry capitalists.
Steps to Apple's success:
1. Apple says 'we're not after money, we want to change the world.'
2. Ten million idiots who have never taken a course in business think 'wow they must be for real, let's buy THEIR products instead.'
3. Apple makes money.
This is a typical advertising scheme in an industry where a major corporation exists... Think different, buy our products. A lot of people buy into this too. Product differentiation. Come on now, don't be so gullible.
Lindsay ruled that: "SFX will likely suffer immediate and irreparable harm when the new racing season begins in mid-December 2006 if Davis is not enjoined from posting links to the live racing Webcasts.
really, this isn't so bad. its just a restraining order - not like the guy actually got fined or anything. i don't think this has very far reaching implications. i think the article is a little vague about whether the link was to a file or whether the link was embedded and showed his own ads around the videos. thats the important part, really.
dude... nice analogy - the tire thing made that a heck of a lot clearer of a picture for me. i wasn't sure exactly what u meant at first. and good call, i didnt pick up on that at first...
My tin foil hat is on... Next step I see is Msoft flooding the web with 'vista iso' torrents that are chock full of so much malware that installation becomes impossible. So much for pirating vista when you can't make it through installation.
in any event, this article is total FUD because this 'security flaw' has nothing to do with a LEGIT installation of vista.
Have I missed something? A former spy gets killed by the country he was spying on/for/whatever... were talking about spies, they trick whomever they can to make a buck. Now, he got killed by the person he tricked. What's the big deal? This is not abnormal. If he was spying on the US we might have just offed him ourselves via the legal system.
good luck convincing him to pay an employee to deal with every "transmission of sufficient power to be a conversation" i'm sure the manager would love to add that to his balance sheet. you would need a whole division of labor to deal with this problem!!
my idea - everytime they sense a cell phone in use a big fire hose drops down from the ceiling and sprays the cell phone user and everyone around them, frying the phone - rendering it no longer useful... it would be kinda like that guy that cracks watermelons and the audience gets hit with stuff, a well-rounded, entertaining show with real audience interaction!
shut the network down? isnt that a little bit too broad sweeping of a move? jammers would be for jamming cell phones in a specific location. shutting a whole network down to stop one person from using their phone is like nuking an entire country just to kill one person... how does this make sense?

props to wikipedia
It's singular. Math is better than maths. We win.
yah i hate that too. just like insure and ensure. and their and they're and there.

and thus i have put this issue to rest.

ps nice estimate on the 10 percent, i'd like to see that raw data
At first I thought that may be a Haiku and I was excited... you let me down
Therefore, I've decided to fix it:
