Already in the works, though Hulu picked up the episodes that won't be aired.
Anyone who has woken up next to someone they hooked up with while drunk can tell you that alcohol completely undermines selective breeding.
Somebody knows or knows who knows but they need to be inspired to come forward or follow up on their hunch.
Slight problem: ENIAC was built about 70 years ago and most of the people who were involved in its construction are dead. It's really hard to inspire dead people enough to get them to come forward.
never seem to apply that standard when her brother is insulted in those ways.
The author is a dude named Matthew. A he, not a her.
The fact that you automatically assumed that a person who says "It is never appropriate to use slurs, metaphors, graphic negative imagery, or any other kind of language that plays on someone's gender, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, or religion" must be a woman says a lot about you. The fact that you went on to accuse your imagined woman oppressor of having a double standard says even more.
They found her body in 1940
It is, of course, impossible to know whether the bones inspected by Dr. Hoodless in 1941 were in fact those of a white female, and if anything even less possible to be sure that they were those of Amelia Earhart. Only the rediscovery of the bones themselves, or the recovery of more bones from the same skeleton on the island, can bring certainty. What we can be certain of is that bones were found on the island in 1939-40, associated with what were observed to be womenâ(TM)s shoes and a navigatorâ(TM)s sextant box, and that the morphology of the recovered bones, insofar as we can tell by applying contemporary forensic methods to measurements taken at the time, appears consistent with a female of Earhartâ(TM)s height and ethnic origin.
The bones found might have been from Amelia Earhart's body, but they were identified as male at the time and then lost. Only when the measurements of the bones were looked at in 1998 was it noticed that they could have been Earhart's, but there is no way to know for certain. Unfortunately, the internet being what it is, everyone ignores the parts of the report that stress that the findings are inconclusive and repeats the claim that her body was found as if it were an absolute, unquestionable fact.
look at insurance companies. Huge luxury office buildings, executives who make millions- it's a lot like Vegas. Where does the money come from? Losers like you and me who have to pay ridiculous premiums for minimal coverage. Yeah, Insurance baby!
That's how it has worked in the past, yes, but the affordable care act actually did something about that. Insurance companies' profits and overhead margins are now capped at either 20% or 15%, depending on the size of the company. If they don't pay out the rest in claims, they have to refund it.
It's not perfect and insurance companies will still make a lot of money, but it is a start.
Here's something fun you can try: Buy a bottle of nitromethane (model aircraft fuel, also Top Fuel racing), put it in a plastic spray bottle, and spray it on seats where departing passengers are likely to sit. Then get arrested because you're in a crowded fucking airport spraying nitromethane on the seats in front of hundreds of witnesses.
FTFY
People do things they shouldn't do all the time and kids aren't known for being great decision makers. You might as well suggest that nobody under 15 should be allowed to go through puberty for all the good it'll do.
we should be using gallons-per-mile instead of miles-per-gallon, too.
Wrong. Neither is inherently better.
I have half a tank of gas (6 gallons) and want to know how far I can go before I have to get gas. I get 40 MPG or
There are specific cases where one or the other figure makes the math easier, but neither is universally better in all cases. Arguing that one figure is better just proves that you haven't thought the question though.
Oh look... someone who doesn't know what The Onion is.
No, there is still only one answer; the current system.
The college admissions testing business is worth about half a billion dollars a year right now and the two major test providers, ACT and ETS, spend quite a bit of money to make sure that they remain the two major test providers.
You posting on slashdot telling people to get started on a better solution as if it were as simple as doing your laundry just shows that you're clueless about what would be required.
Because managing files in a hierarchical system is not what people care about. Seriously with other MP3 players before the iPod you had to do this as there was no other choice.
Actually, that isn't true. Diamond Multimedia started introducing those features at least 2-3 years before the first iPod came out. Shoddy build quality, inept marketing were and the need for a huge-ass adapter that plugged into the parallel port on your computer prevented it from becoming the hit that the iPod was a few years later.
Definitely more stupid. As dumb as sci-fi shows may be at times, they can still offer up social commentary in their plots and explore new ideas for how technology could influence our lives.
And as thin as that rationalization is, football doesn't even offer that much value to society.
At the current rate of discovery, astronomers will have identified more than a million exoplanets by the year 2045. That means, if life is at all common in the Milky Way, astronomers could soon detect it.
It means nothing of the sort. The methods that we're using to identify exoplanets cannot detect life on those plants.
If you want to put yourself on the map, publish your own map.
