Because Asburgers Syndrome makes finding anyone, aspie or not, difficult? Most aspies do not have the largest and most diverse of social networks.

But really, studies show when two aspies reproduce, you get a ridiculous chance of full blown autism, probably some co-recessive type thing. This I can attest to anecdotally from my family. Better find a woman who doesn't quite understand you but doesn't have that gene, your offspring will have at most Asburgers Syndrome.

Air China stewardesses look like hotel maids, especially when they put the apron on. They put all the attractive ones on international flights, so you tend to see an over representation of pretty girls, but they still dress in that same ugly uniform. China Eastern and China Southern mostly look pretty on whatever route though.

Ocarina of time came out 17 years ago, back when Kimishima was 48. How is this not retro?

In Australia for instance, someone with a local university degree in something useful can just apply for permanent residence as a "skilled migrant". H1B is a guest worker program however, it's for bringing people in to do a specific job at a specific company, not retaining talent in the country, so it's not a particularly good scheme in your case. So I think shutting down the 17 month system makes a bit of sense as it was a loophole to begin with. It's not that it should be a seperate stream, but it should be a seperate visa entirely, and should allow applicants to move between jobs, since they were hired locally anyway. If America doesn't have such a visa, that's fine, since many countries do.

I think The Atlantic was trolling slashdot for subscriptions, since you need to subscribe to reply.

Either that, or a lot of folks on /. have just stumbled upon why their work is misunderstood and unappreciated by those around them.

Well, given it was named after him 16 years after he was assassinated and unless they let dead presidents stay in office, I would say that at the point it was named after him he had already been president as long as he would ever be.

Well, even with in-air refueling, you're still going to have to bring them the long way around, since I'm told they don't particularly like crossing the international date line.

Australia wanted to buy the F-22 the whole time, but the US government wouldn't allow Lockheed to export it. The F-35 was supposed to be just-bad-enough for the give it to the vassals in return for tribute, without threatening Washington's superiority, but just-good-enough to lessen the amount of protection Washington must give its vassals and make it look like a legitimate arms purchase.

It's obvious that Australia should have gone for the Typhoon as soon as export permission for F-22 was denied, but if Australia really had some balls, it would have started openly courting Sukhoi, buying one fighter at a time until the overlord at least gives us the reach-around. Either way the F-22 is a land based fighter, so if the US wants to cross the Pacific to discipline us, they'll be doing it without air support.

I have no problem either with this either, but Google does not choose do do this and he has no standing to dispute it. If he had a contract or even a verbal agreement to begin with, you could say that Google acted in bad faith, but he didn't, he merely gave an unsolicited video, explicitly not covered by copyright to Google and asked for a cut. It's not wrong that he asked for a cut and if Google had have given it to him, I would not object to it, so long as they did not prevent others from re-uploading the same video under the same terms.

What I do object to is the gall of this guy to come to Slashdot, a notoriously pro-free-use forum to complain about Google using this public domain video without paying him. If he did make this work more accessible, it pales in comparison to the work that Google have done, providing hard disk space, bandwidth and searching capabilities. If he wanted to distribute it, why didn't he host it himself?

"China" in Chinese is "Zhongguo", but I think Korea is a better example, it's called "Choson" in the North and "Hanguk" in the South, which are of course used to refer to both North and South, by the respective sides. This of course reiterates why the whole "CÃte-d'Ivoire" thing is rubbish, I don't care what you call my country in your language, don't tell me what to call your country in mine.

If it's public domain, they don't have to pay anyone. Google has just as much rights to make money from a public domain video as anyone else, if you don't like it, host it yourself.

The bald faced hypocrisy of "this work is public domain, damn Google for not paying me for it!" just discredits everyone here calling for more works to enter the public domain. Google is doing what a good publisher should do, sharing public domain work and collecting a small revenue to pay for its trouble, "eporue" on the other hand is a parasite, seeing rent on something he didn't create, like some feudal baron. Adam Smith and Karl Marx agree on one thing and one thing only, rent seeking is inherently bad, so whether you are a conservative or a socialist you should join together and pillory this leech.

Being an Uber driver isn't against the law, driving around paying passengers without a taxi license is against the law. Now, an Uber driver showing up when a ride is booked may be able to demonstrate an intent to operate as an unlicensed taxi, but the police officer can hardly catch anyone red-handed this way without entrapment. That said, Finland is not a common law jurisdiction, I'm not sure if entrapment even exists.

100' is well within the effective range of a decent shotgun firing buckshot, even at 141' (100' horizontal, 100' vertical) it should be quite lethal to a deer or human, let alone a shitty plastic drone.

His claim was that those are not weddings, but instead are other gatherings reported to be weddings after the fact for propaganda value. He also claims that higher numbers of casualties are reported, again, for propaganda value.

He does not once claim it is OK to ever bomb a Pakistani wedding.

China has quotas on all mobile connection providers, but not on home connections. Australia has them on absolutely anything, unless you pay an exorbitant price.
