You're the first to bring up cost in this thread. As for effectiveness, captive breeding of pandas, the california condor, banning for a time the hunting of plains bison, banning hunting of bald eagles, etc. All have saved or preserved those species and there are others species I can't remember but a specialist in…

You sure you aren't confusing enthalpy for entropy? Usually entropy is used as a description for increasing disorder.

If we allow deer hunting, in this case what's the problem with allowing barred owl hunting if it helps the spotted owl? We can help preserve a species whether it's our fault or not, though in this case AlwaysBeenTim says it is.

Human involvement in protecting and captive breeding programs have brought many species back from the brink and others off the endangered species list. Banning wolf and mountain lion hunting in western states for example. I see no reason why hunting barred owls won't help the spotted owls. Let's try it and see if it…

And it's easy to see from the East Bay. Since Tokyo Sky Tree is a bit taller than the top of Sutro, that makes it easy to visualize how impressive the new tower is.

Sutro is neat to look at because it's not just a cable-stayed mast. I like the angularity of it and three-dimensionality of the triangular shape.

Replacing the commuter car implies one owns a car with the primary purpose of commuting.

Keep one gas powered family car for long trips. Replace the commuter with an electric.

In wargames, aircraft carriers have proven vulnerable to an enemy willing to send a swarm of speedboats with bombs. Iran, China, and North Korea seem like they'd be willing to do that. So what's really needed are enough systems that target and fire below the horizon at lots of small craft.

For a penis, once the minimum useful length is reached, it's how it's used that counts. For a coaster, once about 60 mph is reached, more can be welcome, but how it's used matters more. There are fast coasters that are boring but many slower ones that are more thrilling.

That's quite a claim to make, considering AMD couldn't get 28 nm yields to work at Global Foundries and so has switched to TSMC. In the meantime they're stuck with 40 nm.

Compact camera batteries are around 1100 mAh. High-end cell phone batteries are around 1500 to 2100 mAh. Thicker phones or ones with larger screens can have the larger batteries. This is definitely a thicker phone. It's battery should handle many photos just fine.

"Normal 16 megapixel" means so many things. That sensor size is smaller than the Micro Four Thirds interchangeable lens standard, but bigger than what's in prosumer compact cameras like the Canon G12, Nikon P7100, Fujifilm X10, and Olympus XZ-1. Those sensors are between 1/1.7" and 1/1.5".

It looks horrible, pressing Rear Cleansing Soft to do just that. Selecting Oscillating for covering a wider area. then Dryer for drying.

The pay is decent by their standards, but the work they do to earn it is still bad and they know it. Just because it's not horrendous doesn't make it not bad. Their job choices are between bad jobs and worse jobs.

They keep the burger and nuggets mostly out of the water. Super soggy nuggets and burger are presumably bad for the texture too. The fries have a potato flavor and add salt.

Isn't the new UI missing the playback speed slider?

From the screenshot it looks like the playback speed slider is missing from the main interface. I'm sure it's still available in the menus, but that's a step back for watching lectures faster.

"they gladly go for the given salary and welfare provided." So that's why they were committing suicide! How ignorant of me! They must be so glad to get paid to suffer in silence, fluid pooling in their standing legs, repetitive stress injuries forming in their hands, then to sleep and do it again the next day, because…
