Yes. Web designers have all decided they're laying out magazines. It's dumb, and that capability should never have been added to HTML.

The cord that has audio connectors on the other end doesn't. Just because you've never plugged anything but a USB cable into your iPhone doesn't mean nobody else has.
You've got to know and own the product you sell.
Ideally you would know your product that well. In practice often you don't. For example, our software line at work is protected by use of hardware dongles ; in theory we should know the detailed ins and outs of that product, but in practice we don't. It's a tool that we use, but we really don't care how it works in detail ; it's not our core business ; we're not interested in it ; if it stops working, we go and find a different supplier of a comparable product.
What if this thing gets out of hand and plants start to become larger as they are fed more nitrogen. We could become overrun with weed type plants that we can't control.
The plants would grow bigger
Here you go

Meh. That link basically says that there are different results from different benchmarks. It says that it's a "not uncommon assertion" that companies "have attempted in the past to "manipulate" benchmarks", but that's not the same as finding code that overclocks the chip specifically when it's running benchmark programs
The clean diesel Jetta gets 42mpg highway and 30 city. The hybrid Jetta gets 48mpg highway and 42mpg city.
Wow, those are atrocious mileage figures. What did you do to the car to damage it so badly? We're up in the 55-60 mpg range just for day-to-day running.
Yeah. They help you put earrings in.
So, I need to get my step-daughter an EARING AID so that she can get her earrings in her ears not all over her face?
She will be so delighted by this news. I shall tell her immediately so that her reaction will happen in another country.
Skoda and Seat, both selling cars aimed at the cheaper end.
And having driven from-new both a VW-era Skoda and a VW itself, in future I'd probably take the Skoda.
Then again, I fully expect to not have to worry about the question for at least 3 more years, possibly as many as 5, depending on how much mileage the wife clocks up. Or what she drives into.
Better to have Americans spy on Americans then a foreign entity.
But it's likely that the foreign spies would do a better job than the Americans, and very likely that they'd do it cheaper.
Better and cheaper - it's the way to go.
The innumeracy of the public is at a lower level than that. This is like arguing about whether kids should be taught calculus in school when they're struggling with basic arithmetic.
What we need is not more equations in the press, but more graphs, tables, and diagrams. I can't count the number of times I've seen a journalist try to explain, say, changing poll results or the interplay between mortgage rates and foreclosures using text, plus a quote from an expert which they clearly don't understand, when all they need is a quick line chart.
I'm a college professor, and in my classes that require essays I insist that the students incorporate graphical charts, maps, and diagrams. Generally speaking, they're awful at it, but it gets them thinking about data.
Outside of a court, an oath means nothing
If there's an independent witness then it's a solid verbal contract in most legal systems around the world. In this case we're talking about the military who have their own oaths, laws, courts, police, judges, and jails. A soldiers "pinky swear" is taken very seriously by that system, especially when it's broken. I've never been a soldier but the fact that you appear to believe a (wo)man's word means nothing outside a court of law indicates the principle of "integrity" is too expensive for your particular personality.
