Also, even if certain subset of our species had evolved to be more resistant to headshots, it would be quite hard to notice. And after noticing - to test.

So, question is - how many more calories will people burn due to walking?

If you put it that way, then i might need to agree with you, that stalking kills people. However, i still cant put my head round the idea, mainly becouse 1000 foot fall would kill with 100% certainty (if you jump with parachute, then it is not called a fall), while stalking does kill people with quite low probability. Thats why I do not agree with using word 'survivor' in context of stalking, but completely agree in context of 'assault' or '1000 foot fall'

he was shot, wasn't he? so he didn't survive people shooting at him. that is understandable. but what it has to do with stalking? If someone just stalks and doesn't do anything else, then it is 100% survivable.

well, then he becomes murderer or assaulter not stalker, and that is completely different thing

Stalking survivors? Er? Is it possible _not_ to survive stalking?

"mayor of Paris is elected by Parisians only" -> what a coincidence ...

mod parent up! hope that those hordes of Slashdot readers who still doesn't understand this point will read it!

10 years of data on the laptop - are they implying that said stolen laptop was 10 years old? And thief bothered, not only to steal it but also boot it up? Sweden is scary sometimes.

So, you claim to be a linguist and you don't know name of the "one letter-one sound" system you are refering to? It does have a name Phonemic Ortography, or Phonetic Spelling. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonemic_orthography p.s. i am native spekaer of Latvian, and not a linguist :)

Good point :)

It is interesting to see how you list fellatios together with fece eating and incest. And yet still try to present yourself as nonbiased intelectual, taking academic point of view on this article.

Never, never, EVER use an ATM to make a deposit. I learned that the hard way. That receipt it spits out is worthless if the contents of that envelope are misplaced, lost, or stolen

Dont you have, like, real ATM deposit machines in US? ATMs where you put your notes in, it caunts them and automaticly adds them to your account, or gives them back, if they are too damaged to be read? Those are nice addition to internet banking, mobile banking and other means of transfering money without withiting bank in person.
