Seriously twisted. I really expected that to be a mock ad but I checked, and the school is real. Well done.
Bio-plastics have been around for awhile, but they aren't direct substitutes for petroleum based plastics. Bio plastics can't be used in the production of many things that normal plastics are, and they break down more quickly. Breaking down quickly is great for coffee cups and water bottles, but not so great for things like electronics, power tools and rain gutters (and most things that you have in your house that are made of plastic).
There seems to be confusion about the difference between copyright, trademark and patent. Copyright applies to something written, filmed, drawn or sculpted. A trademark is the name or symbol of a product or company. A patent generally covers a design or function of an object. This is a dispute about trademark, which is the name "iPad" and nothing more.
I believe in the US trademark only applies to products that are actually being produced - basically the trademark is considered "abandoned" if the product isn't being made or the company goes out of business. Aside from the complicated issue of what got sold to whom and when, in the end this is a dispute about a name that's not actively being used by anyone so Apple should be able to use it. The whole thing just seems like a shakedown.
When I say provable risks I'm not talking about autism, I'm talking about the medically accepted side effects such as fever, respiratory infection, pneumonia, joint problems, intestinal inflammation, seizures, etc. Mild side effects happen in about 33% of patients, with more severe side effects happening with 1-3% which is a pretty high number, medically speaking. Though rare, there are even cases of meningitis and hepatitis associated with vaccinations. Vaccinations are overall a good idea - heck, we've managed to eradicate some diseases complelely because of them. But like any medical treatment, there are risks.
Yes, it's made of unicorn meat. Delicious!
The people who expect a gadget blog from a website called "gizmodo" left long ago. Fact is, everyone who remains (or at least the 99%) understand that the order from on-high is that in order to compete Gizmodo needs to be a culture blog rather than just a gadget blog regurgitating press-releases like any other engagetywebsite that might be out there. Anyone can crib from PR. what's going to succeed in web 3.0 is a website with character, and that's what Gizmodo is aiming for.
Science hasn't proven that there are no ill effects from a tripling of vaccinations- quite the opposite: there are provable risks associated with these vaccinations.
I'm not saying that no one should be vaccinated, but I am saying that maybe we shouldn't just assume that every little potential illness requires a vaccination before the age of six just because there is some evidence that suggest that individually vaccinations are a good idea, when no real study of the cumulative effects has been done.
I find the various puns about this particular Knicks player both Linsensitive and Linsulting.
I can appreciate that, but only if it's based on science, not bias. A remote chance of increased infection is not enough of a reason to deny service completely.
I get what you're saying but I don't think it necessarily follows that a natural reaction to exposure is the same as being exposed 30-40 times in a period of six years.
I don't have kids and I'm no expert in the subject. I also don't believe that research shows any connection between vaccines and autism. That said, from what I understand there are a lot more vaccinations being given these days than most folks of child-bearing age really appreciate; where most of us in our 30's might have been given a dozen vaccinations , nowadays there are 13 different diseases nad at least 32 different injections of vaccinations before the age of 6, and that's not counting multiple influenza injections. I can certainly appreciate that parents are concerned about the number of injections.
As much as I think that some immunizations are important and think that the autism argument is specious, I don't agree with the idea that doctors should be able to refuse to see certain patients because of their medical choices; it can only lead to harm to children and society as a whole. A doctor should not discriminate against any patient, for any reason.
Instant classic.
Okay, that's it; I'm starting a new initiative to promote "monotasking." I'm as guilty as the next person of doing this sort of thing (though I've never fallen on my face) but no more. For me, it's one thing at a time and one thing only.
TMI. But you make a good point; the aspirin trick doesn't work any more since people in the 1960's realized that the missionary position wasn't the only way to have sex. Somebody needs to send Foster Fries a copy of "The Joy of Sex".
It's probably less offensive because your grandma isn't potentially going to be the one controlling access to birth control for every woman in the country. Crazy shit old people say seems naive and quaint when they say it in their living room while playing pinochle, but it's pretty scary when it's said in the oval office (or the office of the billionaire who is pulling the strings on the person in the oval office).
No - you can only get the full "Prime" benefits on a Kindle Fire. Specifically Kindle owners get access to the free book every month from the Prime Lending Library, and Fire owners get the integration with the Prime Cloud services. The streaming video can be access from any tablet or PC though, and of course you get the free 2nd day shipping with Prime regardless of whether you have a Kindle device.
If I weren't hooked on Prime, or if Prime's Lending Library were available on non-Kindle devices, I might consider switching hardware. The nook tablet's memory expansion options and overall ergonomics make it better than the Fire in some ways. Still worse in others though I guess.
I went to college in NM and I miss the chilis terribly - the smell of the fall roasting of the chilis all over the city, the green chili on everything (especially hamburgers, enchiladas, green chili stew, rellenos, and breakfast burritos), even chilis as decoration. A good chunk of my garden this spring will be dedicated to New Mexico chilis.
