If it was, would you trust it? I mean, people haven't been using it during their daily routines for years, so it is definitely not at super reliable level. Sure, they should be able to do it in case of emergencies, but under normal conditions it is much safer to just ground the flights.

While they keep fighting their own customers, Indie artists and movie makers are slowly eating their market share. Seriously, even these days I can find enough quality shows and even movies to watch on YouTube. Give it another XY years and Hollywood would be squeezed into some small niche market only few people will care about and I will not be one of them.

I think it is actually higher in Bay Area. http://money.cnn.com/2014/11/0...

The problem is, many people say that. Virtually none of them do.

Yeah, well, I guess a flame war is better than a nuclear one.

Who the fuck has the time to look through 100 FB stories a day???

Well, the claim that IQ gap is genetic is easy to prove: you just have to find the genes responsible for that gap. Then, find subjects of multiple races with and without those genes and demonstrate that they have statistically significant difference in IQ.

Until they have done that, claims that gap is genetic are unscientific. Period.

In any case, I'm pretty sure that the genes that make you "black" are not the same genes that make you "smart". I can buy an argument that there can be some correlation (which also can be cultural), but our understanding of genes is pretty far from the point where we would be able to make such claims.

It is free as in "freedom", not necessarily free as in "beer". I would pay $1 without even thinking to somebody who takes FOSS app, builds it and puts into Play store. Just so that I don't have to go through all the installation steps.

My thoughts exactly.

I think this is a primary role of the government: supporting society by supporting those who for historical reasons got left out. Be it age, natural disasters or other factors.

I thinks in general just being more conscious about what you eat will give you good results, regardless of which diet you choose to follow. Well, provided that diet is at least somewhat sane, of course.

Don't be so sure, it depends on how close FB's ties in Washington are.

Except that definition of "small" seems to vary greatly, depending on the agenda of a particular libertarian.

Chances are that your credit card does actually have a PIN. Or, at the very least, it takes one phone call or visit to the online banking to set it up. I was surprised when I found this out about my cards.

Don't know what you are talking about. To me bananas in the US look the same as bananas in Europe.

Hit the nail on the head there.

I remember when we just moved here and my wife wanted to buy a sour cream. With fat-free obsession here most stuff is very low on fat, but we wanted it with "normal" percentage of fat, like we used to. Basically we were looking for the one with the highest percentage of fat and so for each can it was: take the total mass in ounces or pounds, divide by the number of servings = mass of one serving, convert to grams, divide the fat per serving in grams by the mass of the serving to get the percentage. Do the same thing for the next can and compare.

Yes, we did get some weird looks.
