One was a simple experiment with growing plants in certain soil conditions. I can't remember exactly what the additive was. But nothing fancy. But here we got to the booth and the kid was beaming and excited to show off the plants, and demonstrated a decent grasp of scientific method (trying to control conditions, etc.).
I saw that TNG episode. As I recall, the kid planted radishes in this special dirt and they came up all weird.
He does reasonable cause for suspecting something is going on and just needs to have information available to aid him in making decisions about some unusual behavior.
Then you're being coy with us about details that would really help you get good answers about this situation. And most likely, these answers will not be technological, but rather revolve around (a) seeking marriage/psychological/etc. counseling, (b) contacting law enforcement, or (c) just talking to his wife/children about what's going on.
The biggest favor you can do for this guy is to not indulge his creepy need to spy on his household. It's passive aggressiveness at its worst, when he really just needs to confront whatever issue this is head-on.
You're supposed to read the claims. It's the most important part of the patent, and the least-read by the Slashdotter.
In this case, paraphrasing, the patent is all about providing purchasing recommendations to someone who is watching a video based on items that are purchased by other people while they are watching that same video. It could be used for home shopping networks on TV, of course.
The level playing field for carbon neutrality is a sham designed to do nothing more than transfer wealth from first-world economies to third-world economies. In the process, all you really do is set a soft cap on carbon emissions without reducing actual dependence upon fossil fuels.
We can achieve the same goal of reducing carbon output by instead investing that money into first-world research and development of alternative fuels. Full implementation then eliminates carbon emissions altogether, a goal which can't be achieved by market-based carbon neutrality alone.
With the information I can access, I can run things 900 to 1200 times better than any human.
End of line.
I'm not sure if they've fixed it yet, but the defaults for line charts in MS Excel were insanely set to have equal spacing between data points on one axis no matter what values they have.
That's what happens when you take the programmer who worked on Windows progress bars and tell him to use his talents on Excel graphs.
there is a powerful, sinister organization which is ruthlessly stamping out any leaders who even start to surface.
There is. It's the media (from MSNBC and Fox News, to the Daily Show and Rush Limbaugh, and everything in between), fueled by a public appetite for the humiliation of others. Anyone with enough sense to lead us properly also has the good sense not to lower themselves into that morass of despair. In another twenty years, only the Snookis and Situations of the nation will be willing to run for public office.
To throw you a bone, medications don't seem to be very effective against mild depression.
Considering that SSRIs/SNRIs have a 60-70% incidence of causing sexual side effects (reduced libido, reduced sensation, reduced ability to reach orgasm) but are the most frequently prescribed class of antidepressant, it's not surprising. The side effects are enough to make anyone stay mildly depressed.
For that matter, "Neutrinogate" wasn't even a scandal. Yeah, it probably got more publicity than an unverified result merited, but the researchers did warn us that something could still be fishy, and that more work would be needed to see if something was wrong. They found a technical fault, fixed it, and are working on re-performing the tests. No big deal.
VICARIOUSLY experience some reason to LIVE!!
