At least one of those was a man.
And the project an excuse to impress women with their apparent skill in awkwardly balancing, slowly scooting, and... badly jousting.

How much of the fear of death measured in this study has a basis in reality?
What I mean is, if someone has reason to fear death (because of circumstance, or illness, etc.) then they probably have bigger things to worry about than getting college degrees?
Can't wait for the movie adaptation. I heard they got a book in the works too???
I remember learning in school that West Africans would trade gold for salt, pound for pound, with people from Northern Africa and abroad because they didn't know how to make their own salt and they needed it to survive. It always made me wonder why they didn't just pay gold, even if it was an incredible amount, for the knowledge to secure their own salt. Producing salt wasn't all that difficult, if I remember correctly, the salt traders would just evaporate seawater in little holes in the ground and scrap up the leftovers.
And thats exactly what they want you to think...
I believe we shouldn't punish a person for being born poor. No one has a choice about who their parents would be.
But by that same token we shouldn't punish someone for being born rich either.
This would only work if everyone all started out with the same amount of cash, like in the board game Monopoly.
But we all know how that game ends...
I'm not sure if these two forms of holograph are related, but I watched an interesting documentary about holographs recently.
Doctor Laser: Inside the Wondrous Lab of One of the World's Last Holographers.
Learn some neat facts about this lost/dying art.
Reminds me of the 80/20 rule. Perhaps game developers realized that the returns on improving single player would account for less sales than just dropping it and marketing multiplayer.
Former President Jimmy Carter was interviewed by Tavis Smiley recently and expressed an interesting (hint hint!) theory about all the negative ads.
He said that in his era when he was running against people like Former President Ronald Reagan they had nothing but mutual respect for each other and would refer to each other as "my distinguished opponent." But noted that the recent Supreme Court ruling, which he referred to as 'stupid', was to blame for all the negative ads and that dirty money was closely related to dirty tactics.
He was also quick to bring up the relation of negative ads to the near standstill in Congress in that once the Republicans and Democrats make it to Congress they all but hate each other. And to make matters worse, the Republican party's non-cooperation with Obama, even when he tries to push for what they had asked for months prior, has nearly succeeded in ruining Obama's popularity by blaming him for all their stubborn inactivity.
If we get gig to the house, I mean truly have that kind of bandwidth available, I don't think we'll see a need for much more for a long, long time.
Once speeds like these become available, once the opportunity arises and the market grows, we will find applications for it. Trust, we always do.
It just may happen... in california. Prop 19!
He is talking about Blizzard's use of BT in downloading games and updates. They don't give you the option to throttle upload speed. All you can do is either upload as fast as it can and cripple your download or disable the BT option and download directly from Blizzard's servers.
