Where the hell is our overdue 1080p on sub-40-inch TVs?
Umm on pretty much every new 32" tv? I searched a couple of companies in the UK and there's hundreds of 32" at 1080p

umm he bragged about it and also admitted to the police he did it so that's pretty much grounds for prosecution regardless of the video and eye-witness evidence.
He should be prosecuted for simply being one of the dumbest asses on the planet.
maybe RTFA before posting a wall of text? He admitted his guilt.
it's less than 50% - young girls/old women don;t need them and the male population is slightly greater than the female population.
"it doesn't however influence the probability of the sex of the next child."
Except the problem doesn;t state that the son born on a Tuesday is the FIRST child. It could be the second, Actually the original prblem of "at least one of my two sons is a boy" is more like asking "I threw a coin up yesterday and also today, on at least one of the throws it landed up heads, what is the chance both of the throws landed up heads" giving the set {HH, HT, TH} of the 3 members, only one is HH so it's 1/3
yes.
no, go read the article again. the solution DOES include the possiibility the the other child is also a boy born on a tuesday.
""I have just tossed a 10 pence coin and it has come up heads, what is the probability that another coin toss will come up heads?""
Umm no, if you look at the original problem, "one of my 2 kinds is a boy, what's the probability both are boys" is like saying "Ive've tossed a coin twice, at least one of which was heads, what;s the probability that both were heads?" - so here the possibilities are H H / H T/ T H of which only one of the 3 is both heads so it's 1/3rd.
It's not saying, "the first guy was a boy - or in your analagy, the first coin toss was heads" - where you would be right, the chance of the second child being a boy, or the second coin toss being heads would be 50% - it's a different problem.
