the answers in the article don't match with the answers in the screen capture. the screen capture, for example, answers the evolution question by saying that humans are more closely related to modern apes than to monkey. This is necessarily true, as humans are classified as apes. Furthermore, the answer states that humans didn't descend from apes. This is a non-sensical answer, but perhaps not entirely false; humans did not descend from other modern apes (a common misconception that they may have been trying to address); all modern apes descended from a relatively recent common ancestor.
It depends on how you read the question, and the definition of "justified". If you take "justified" as "justifiable: capable of being justified, excusable", i.e., "morally justifiable", then this is a moral question. However, if the question is "is rape ever justified", that is, "do people ever justify rape?", then the answer is unambiguously "yes"; you don't have to look even beyond the comment section here to find some justification or another. There are numerous examples where people have effectively proven the act as just or reasonable to an audience. The author(s) of the answer add the disclaimer that there is no evidence (i.e., no argument) that the US has ever accepted to justify the act; this is intended in good faith, though I don't believe it is accurate. If this is true, it is only on a technicality (for example, the "rape" of a slave is not technically rape, and therefore does not need to be justified.)
seconded.
I would add Technivorm. I have a Moccamaster KBT-741, the best drip machine that you can buy. I use it to make a full pot in the morning that my wife and I drink then and on the road to work.
But if I just want a cup, the (removable) ~16oz filter basket allows me to add a filter, rinse it in the basket, add the coffee, shut the manual valve to stop, turn on the machine to add just-boiling water, let rest for however I long I want, then open the basket valve to run filtered coffee into my cup. Voila! As good as french press, as easy to clean as a Hario.
"8 $100 paper textbooks per year for 4 years = $3200 per student"
Actually, you forgot to amortize the cost of the textbook according to its reuse from year to year. If we assume the textbook has a life-span of only four years (an extreme lower bound), then you find that you spend $800 in the first year per student, $800 in the next year, per student, again in the third, and the fourth, for $3200 to graduate your first senior class from high school. But every class after them graduates for free (assuming no lost books) until it's time to buy books again. Just assuming four years for the life span of a book, the cost per student drop down to $800 dollars, which is 81% of the cost of the iPad approach.
Replacement of hardware, bulk purchasing, book lifespan, etc. all change the numbers, of course. But $3200 to $980 is incorrect.
Also, your estimate is a lower bound, assuming that the bezel is zero. The 11.6" diagonal probably refers to the size of the tablet; the screen will comprise less than that. And Retina Display isn't measured only by DPI; it is DPI at a certain viewing distance. Jobs claimed Retina Display was any display higher than 300 DPI at 12 inches. Assuming that you hold your iPad at twice that distance, you can halve the DPI, which brings an iPhone 4 quality screen experience at only 163 DPI.
Half-baked crappy work may be good enough. If there are sufficient completion criteria on your tasks, and you achieve them, you are done. If the work that you produced wasn't "good enough", but you still met completion criteria and acceptance tests and ..., then the fault lies with the author of those criteria. And then you iterate.
off-topic, but *your* best bet is TBB.
So, Microsoft exec under investigation for sexual harassment yields no articles. Microsoft exec making a comment about Japan that hurts no-one does. Okay...
it's because they can. they're customers are either business travelers who expense the charge or luxury travelers who can afford it. as long as enough people pay for it to justify the cost, and they feel that it isn't driving people to a competitor's hotel (and it probably isn't...) they won't drop the charge.
Because the tape approach (which I always use) requires that you check the depth with your eye. The copper is a physical barrier preventing you from drilling deeper than you intended.
Also, high RPM requires less torque for the same power, which means less strain on your legs. When I was bicycle commuting, I found that keeping the cadence above 60 RPM was key in avoiding knee pain.
my guess would be Gordon Bell.
I still haven't figured out where the "50 petaflop" number in the post title came from, though I have a suspicion....
And, computer architects don't "daisy-chain" processors together. That's a linear topology with bad scaling characteristics. Even the cores on a single motherboard use a non-linear topology. But that's just me, being pedantic, making fun of someone who summarized a 400-word article and still managed to fuck it up.
And, while Titan is going GPU, the current #1 supercomputer uses multicore CPUs, and it isn't even fully built.
The GPU path is the same path that everyone is taking. Energy consumption is handled most easily at the hardware level by turning back the clock speeds; performance then has to come via parallelism. This is what GPUs do (Titan), it's what Intel MIC does (the new TACC machine), it's what Blue Gene does. It's more difficult to program, as you have to be able to efficiently exploit all of that parallelism. This is especially true to non-x86 targets (read, GPU). That's why ORNL started rewriting scientific applications to support Titan over two years ago.

Says who? The barcode on the electronic boarding passes simply encodes the information that would appear on your physical boarding pass: name, flight info. It's not encrypted, it's not proprietary, it's not even signed. Next time you have one, scan it yourself and see. As for whether they record that you've already come through security, that seems silly (and unlikely). They certainly don't do that with folks carrying physical boarding passes.
Citation needed. Even the Chicago Manual of Style reverts their opinion on singular they every other issue.
yeah, I think florida should be grey. unless they've changed the law recently, it was illegal to sell fireworks that exploded or were self-propelled (i.e,. anything except sparklers).
Correct. Specifically, it is a PWR. They (units 1 and 2) are Babcock & Wilcox PWRs.
