There is major sign of kiore knawing on seeds (it's a standard dating method) but nil sign of the appropriate marks on moa eggs. The Kune Kune's arrived with the whalers in the late 18th centuary, when even the stories about the Moa's had more-or-less already gone; not so the physical remains of the mass ovens and charred evidence of the enormous fires that would have been driving them into the kill sites.
Whether they tasted delicious or were just so convenient to harvest, within a couple of Centuries of our arrival we had got the lot.

This could be one of the highlights of the TV Voting/ratings of the series, maybe all time? Have TWO teams of 4 finalists selected, one of men and one of women, then have the 2 teams compete against eachother, the voting public need be the only deciders. The ensuing fun around the globe might even be worth witnessing.
And when the next 4 are selected, all sorts of variations on this theme are possible.
What marketing potential!

Please, I would like to know if you have come to some new, more informed, position having read these comments posted in response to your story or if you were already largely aware of the deficiencies in this 'persons' actions.
I am a believer in taking responsibility for your own actions, and I hope you feel a significant degree of regret in your actions which have allowed the Slashdot editors to make 'their' mistake of put this story on the front page(again).

At last, an argument for the Western, all sex's, Burka [well a niqaab, at least].
You heard it here first.

I am not entirely sure that you mean; that this will be a great individualised service to provide to those who are in need of seeing how compromised their 'immune system' has become (and with 'immune system' too acting as an even more general proxy for their 'overall state of health'). But if you do, I agree, you'd get a very visual and engaging and, I expect, quite an indicative result [you will likely have stronger feelings around wishing this "team" wins than any of the teams you have ever followed/'bet on' prior, & what proportion of the obese population (for instance) don't watch sport?] .
So long as you surround the person as they watch with options to enable them to actually change their 'performance' in the future; then watching what was moments before part of themselves, battling; succumb; and be eaten, may indeed be very motivational and very hard to ignore.

Though I can imagine a few rows of
'????'
in the 'develop into product' section
before reaching
'Profit !'.

Make & model or it didn't happen.

You obviously haven't considered what he is doing with their corpses each evening after work, have you?

How exactly is she "forcing" her values into their actions? Please specify as I am intrigued as to your thought progression.

I don't know for sure, but I am thinking we may have been deprived of some pertinent facts to the above story (by Velex) to fully earn its present Insightful tag.

As my service to the whales, or just for your next book plot...

I can easily imagine a forward thinking wealthy middle eastern Muslim extremist who perceives the new expansionistic Chinese
[not all beliefs depicted here are held by the author]
as the greatest insult to Allah
[Christianity & it's bastard sons (the West etc.) being the old & quite useful enemy]
and
[hey pick any variables around the core of the not infinitely improbable Rich + Extremist + Longterm view]
have him specifically educate/indoctrinate his 'sons' to go out & gain the skills to be the lab designers/technicians within his own particularly private & well resourced compound
[a site later generations treat with a reverence equal of Mecca perhaps].
A little bit of advanced bio-engineering later & several billion humans turn into a one off methane emission spike.

Thankyou maxume

I had never figured out why the 1918 flu went away, why didn't it keep coming back year after year wiping out millions; so simple once you know!
It mutated itself out of existence, and then it was gone!
One more piece in my model of "Life the Universe & everything" slotted nicely into place.

Driving from GEO to Ocean is non-trivial; to local minima gravity well at GEO W105 degrees (not fulll Lagrange pt.), not so hard. See Aero's comments above.

It's WAAS. G15's WAAS has still been maintained operational as there is presently only ONE other WAAS sat covering continental US. FAA will get very edgy if the flights coming into their airports are to rely on a single bird to not suddenly reposition their passangers +/- 25m any which way.

Whoa there buddy; easy on the capitals there.

The Egyptians put up one 3830m wide (the Aswan High Dam) in the 1960's.

It's Fox News; do you want to fact check The Onion as well?

Haven't seen an references to the geo (!geo) coords of the site to give it a proper home address & let us check out it's neighbourhood. Any hints?
