Yes, because flipping hamburgers is a great and fulfilling experience even if you're gifted for boring down-to-earth stuff like math or physics.

Bullshit.
A well done wide-open portrait with tack-sharp eyes and everything else blurred connects you with the model like no other shot could. I know it sounds hipsterish, but it's an immutable reality.

It's not that there's no benefit : it's a net loss. Any heat engine works better between 300K and 400K than between 400K and 500K, even though the temperature difference between two states is the same.
Pedantic remarks : There's no such thing as "heat gradient". You probably meant "temperature gradient". And thermoelectrics generators really are powered by heat.

Because if boobs were brains, she'd have three Nobel medecine prizes.

I totally agree with both of you.
But the questions he answers isn't : "My toy isn't working as expected. Who wrote this shit?" but "This 'bug' very much looks like an intentional backdoor. Does git blame returns joe@nsa.gov?"

"I'm working on a new independent project. It will soon become the new Facebook, and I'll be billionaire next quarter. The only problem is that I don't know which luxury yacht to buy with all this money. I've been looking at Lady Moura, Christina O, Pelorus, Venus and others. What do you recommend? What problems have you run into with the ones you've tried?"

In French Guiana, isolated tribes saw white men coming at them, and basically telling them :
"Congrats, you're now officialy unemployed French citizens. You don't know what money is, but you'll receive XXX Francs per month from the government. You can go visit the next town, and discover what rum and hookers are. Not much else to do though. kthxbye!"

PARSE ERROR:
"Michael S. Rosenwald was so disgusted with myself.'
The brain was not designed for reading Andrew Dillon."

Wait, what??? Could you please write shorter paragraphs?

From TFA: "At the start of each round an independent judge flips a fair coin and tells your opponent the result but does not tell you. If the coin came up heads your opponent must play rock."
The opponent isn't forced to get at least 50% rock after any number of plays.

PROTIP: None of us has any chance of surviving, wherever we end up.

Humans are interesting animals.
We are still 80% dependent on fossil fuels for our energy needs and have no clue what we could use at this scale when they're depleted.
But let's worry about what could happen to the sun in 5 billion years!

But to be fair, http://slashdot.org/index2.pl?... is much more "Ask X what you will" than "X answers your questions".

The external speakers aren't for the engine or the driver, it's to let the hot chicks know how much you paid for your car.
From the above article :
"Volkswagen previously used a resonator tube similar to the Mustang’s in its GTI but has switched to what it calls a “Soundaktor.” This system is like the M5’s, in that an audio file is stored on the car’s computer and then played during certain throttle applications. Unlike the more selective M5 setup, VW’s broadcasts all the noise from under the hood through a dedicated speaker located near the engine’s throttle body. Soundaktor speakers are currently making noise in the GTI, GLI, and Beetle Turbo."
