how about laws limiting capital flight?

citation? i'm sure this will be a lively debate considering you mentioned 'fox news' and 'facts' in the same sentence.

the PADD description above is too general; it is a list of features.

look at the samsung report prepared by samsung employees as they pour over the iphone interface one app or feature at a time. this shows they were explicitly mining specific aspects of the look, feel, operation, and finish of the phone. they do this for both the mobile device and the itunes interface. one of the 'directions for improvement' comments even reads "Need to provide a diverse user guide manual like itunes"

It is interesting how samsung compared multiple devices against a single apple product and a single piece of apple software. in the document, samsung used aspects of iphone ui for

Google for coelacanth pics and it's almost all dead, preserved specimens. This article is news because despite the dead samples in hand (n.b. no live specimens exist in captivity), little is known about the behaviour of the living coelacanth; encountering one at human-diveable depths is an event in itself. This article is not saying it's the first specimen found; it is basically the best in situ photo ever taken of a living coelacanth.

source? i'm actually interested, not calling you out.

not necessarily true: championship winning horses present with advantageous traits, such as huge hearts; increased scope for ventricular hypertrophy could very well be preserved by cloning, as the enlarged heart is a sex-linked trait.

you need to show the epidemiology, otherwise it's not math, it's conjecture. We don't know how the calf was infected; it was a natural mutation or accumulation through diet.

the math indicates that with the population of cattle in the US, a mutation of a ribosome which creates prion-like structures is statistically likely, and inevitable. I suggest we utilize not only math, but critical thinking to determine the cause of a single presentation of BSE.

Sophos also recommends this. However, should one really sign up for a subscription of virus signatures for operating systems they don't use? I don't carry an Epi-Pen around just because I happen to be eating at a restaurant where other people might have peanut allergies.

You're free to run whatever software you'd like on your computer. However, this article is long on FUD, and as a fortunate side effect for Sophos, hundreds of thousands of mac users have downloaded their antivirus software. There is an inherent responsibility and conflict-of-interest in a researcher working in a for-profit company recommending their own software.

in 2008 h1, the 17" macbook pro with 2.6ghz upgrade was close to $3000. if this idiot actually bought ram and hdd upgrades from Apple, it's entirely possible to shove the price into the stratosphere.

I liked the part where he even got Applecare refunded.

and i wouldn't mind guns if people just used them to change tv channels.

We don't need things like medical doctors and chemical assays as long as we can package your gut feelings and vestigial sense of humour into a body scanner.

There's more than one rare earth mine in North America: Hoidas Lake in northern Saskachewan, and Strange Lake in northern Quebec, and Bernic Lake in Manitoba.

I guess the US is just lazy or something; lots of rare earths being pulled out of North America already.

Taking account of the effect of language and syntax may have an augmentive effect, but if even our genetics can't completely determine our proclivities to smoke, drink, and eat, how can we suggest that language has such a profound effect upon our health over biology? The language is certainly intriguing, but we should look at this as a surface phenomenon when other factors, social, biological, or otherwise, have already been shown to have significant effects on our health. I suggest It is self-acualisation, rather than mere language usage, that allows one to exert control over one's life.

That would also be external. However, if you consider that a large part of perception is really projection, this statement may reveal more about the person that lost their job than their boss.

Germany is heavily dependant on its European neighbours to import what .de is exporting. Lets revisit this in 5 years after the Eurozone has been enfeebled through austerity measures and attrition. I'd be surprised if such a strong correlation between language and syntax will be drawn in the near future.
