When was the Southern US "founded" anyway? Seems like many of those states were in the original 13.
Really only 3 or 4 were in the group of original colonies. Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina are definitely considered southern. Virginia is usually considered to be part of the southern U.S., but it isn't quite the "deep south" that most people associate with being in the southern U.S. I don't think anyone considers Maryland and Delaware part of the southern U.S.
Two of the most popular languages in existence are Visual Basic and PHP. Sure, they're inconsistent, oddly constructed and don't support polymorphism (which describes many programmers too, for that matter).
For classic VB, that's true. However, VB.NET introduced real object-oriented programming to VB.
And PHP added a Java-esque OO system for PHP5, which I think was 7 years ago.
Why would a "God" need to perform an experiment, when He already knows the outcome?
I've seen a rabbi asked about reconciling the notion of human free will with the idea that God is omniscient about the future. His response was, "Where does it say that God is omniscient?". The concept of a "perfect" (omniscient and omnipotent) God is, I believe, a Greek idea that eventually made it in to Christianity (and much later, in to Judaism as well)
Under threat of being labelled racist or anti-semitic, most businesses would bend over backwards or even take a loss under threat of that particular label.
I'd be interested in seeing an example of a food manufacturer being called racist or anti-semitic because they don't have their products certified as kosher. Granted, I've always been part of pretty liberal Jewish communities, but the worst I've seen is "Oh, that's too bad" or occasionally some mild complaining.
Judaism prohibits eating pork. I don't know whether or not it would prohibit washing with it (unless you like eating soap.)
Depending on who you ask, it might be okay, but the major problem would be the fact that it would be on your hands, which you often use to eat. I had one rabbi that explained it pretty well by simply saying, "Kashrut only applies to food." I don't know what she would say about bacon soap, though.
Your superstition guarantees you paradise if you obey, so nothing you to other than religious obedience matters. Your physical life is nothing at all compared to eternity so you have no reason the cherish it.
I'm not sure what version of Judaism you're looking at, but clearly it's one that Jews don't know about. Judaism has practically no concept of an afterlife. There are brief mentions of the possibility in later writings, but that's about it. Jewish law is almost entirely concerned with your actions in your "physical life". Any instance of something in the Torah that we would call a "thought crime" tends to draw a lot of commentary because it's so rare. Other than the death penalty, the punishment for most serious crimes is to be separated from the community. There is never any crime that is punished by being sent to Hell.
Mine are even better. I've gotten ads for "Bad Girls" (I'm on Slashdot, so I think you can do the math) and local Christian singles (my profile lists my religion as something other than Christian). I've had a few pretty epic failures on Facebook's targeted advertising.
At a higher level, it's an estimate of depth perception vs. how fast you think you can walk (or run) across that street. No math involved, just spatial guesstimates of that brain of yours.
You mean comparing a perceived distance and speed of an object to the distance you think you can travel in the amount of time it would take for that object to travel the perceived distance at its perceived speed? Because that sounds a little like math.
10% by page count of a work fewer than 10 chapters, or up to one full chapter for a work with 10 or more chapters. Does this still hold if presses start deliberately putting out books with a ton of really short chapters?
Contrary to popular opinion here on Slashdot, judges generally aren't stupid. They also generally hate being screwed with. If it was obvious that a publisher was trying to abuse the rule for works with more than 10 chapters, it's highly likely that a judge would simply refuse to apply that rule.
You can't make a computer make the decision whether the play was a hit by the batter or an error by the fielder yet.
This sentence seems to be implying that the newspaper reporter is the one that decides whether to score a play a hit or an error. The article is about automated generation of newspaper articles, not computer-refereed sports.
The question was answered in your first sentence. You have to realize that in Boston, the letter R has zero meaning. You're allowed to remove any R from any word or add an extra R anywhere in any word.
The only obvious difference between what's been going on for about 100 years in USA now and what's been happening since 9/11 is that before the transgressions against individual rights only hit minorities (employers and investors mostly but also other individual property owners)
Because when I look at the history of the United States, and I consider the minorities that have at various times had their individual rights trampled, business owners and venture capitalists are the first on my list.
Are we meant to believe that somebody who is a professor at a school right in the middle of the fifth-largest city in the United States has never once heard of the iPhone or an iPad or an iPod Touch, or seen them in action, until this last quarter?
Is there a legal requirement that suit be brought immediately after infringement is noticed? I have no idea, but I guess it's one possibility.
No, but it can limit the damages awarded. You aren't allowed to wait for several years just to let damages build up.
Are you talking about PC games? I don't remember buying many PC games in the 90's, so I'm not sure what they cost at the time. I do distinctly remember paying $60 for Super Nintendo games though. Link to the Past, in particular, and I think Final Fantasy IV and VI were $60, or at least $50.
If the person "liking" their company's product on Facebook lists that company as their current employer, then it's much harder to argue that they are claiming to be an ordinary user of the product.
I believe the meme would be go something like "Steve Ballmer likes Microsoft Windows! Film at 11!"
Employers may be forced to give you time off for jury duty, but when shit is hitting the fan at work, and even when it's not, taking that time off does not look good for you and your prospects of keeping your job. You try telling your employer that you're sorry the company is in one of the biggest crunch time periods in its history and you're one of the pivotal cogs in the machine, but you're going to be gone for a few weeks and see how long you stay employed there. It doesn't even need to be that hectic to attract the ire of your boss
What happens if you get hit by a bus? If the survival of the company relies on a single employee, that is a problem with the company, not the jury duty system.

Of course the Jersey Devil is real. The myth is that the Jersey Devil will someday be seen standing next to the Stanley Cup.
The criterion that whoever has a Jewish mother is Jewish though is widely accepted in pretty much all of Judaism.
Reform Judaism accepts either parent, not just the mother.
You don't need a web server at all for JavaScript.
The only way to make Ranch Dressing better is if someone figured out put bacon in it.
Fixed that for you.
Oh, wait, they already did.

CO2 absolutely IS "pollution", in a sense
You're absolutely right, sort of.

And I'd probably want a copy on VHS too, so I can hide it in a Spaceballs jacket... for old times sake.
I don't suppose the phrase "from suck to blow" was in the title?
Yeah, this post only exists so that I didn't have to post a completely pointless "undo accidental mod"

Windows phone 7 is full of interesting and good ideas with poor execution and little polish.
Why would you expect it to be polished? They've barely had any time to work on it, and they needed to rush it out to market.
