Mandatory minimums are generally a bad idea. You end up giving people long sentences to people who were generally following the law but screwed up on a technicality. You accidentally brought your rifle that was registered to your house up to your cabin rather than the other rifle that was sitting right next to the one…

Yes, it is entirely possible to translate a game without changing any of the code. I develop websites in english and french. The all the text that goes on the site is contained in language files. en-CA.xml and fr-CA.xml. If I wanted to add a new language, I would make a new text file and that's it. Boom! The site…

Also, this show is fucking amazing. As an adult, watching a kid's show, I was gobsmacked by how good it is.

Key difference is that implanted kung fu moves are invoked by the user/brain owner, a very different scenario from having an external intelligence take over one's brain. So static vs dynamic is not the best dichotomy to hang that on. Acknowledged. Doesn't erase the fundamental difference between the two types of…

We really aren't talking about "a book reading itself to you". The downloading that they show isn't even equivalent to suddenly memorizing every page in a kung-fu book. They are downloading not only the knowledge, but the experience and muscle memory required to be a martial arts expert.

A) That's not how the brain works. There are no 'packages of data' everything is active.

If they can overwrite the brain with the knowledge of kung-fu and they can overwrite the cerebellum to have the experience of having already performed kung-fu, I don't see why a complete rewrite is all that hard to grasp.

Let's see, so what you are saying is you load up a news site. Then when you find a story you want to read, you open it up, wait for it to load, read it, then close it. Then repeat the whole process for each story you want to read.

You can also throw in a dry towel or two. Cuts down on drying time immensely.

What about "This doesn't really apply to me because I know about it and constantly struggle to adjust for these biases".

I believe that's called 'good customer service'. Or alternatively, it is called 'helping people by not being a greedy prick'. Especially considering that IIRC, Radio Shack doesn't pay by commission, why would anyone be labeled a selfish, snake-oil selling, scammer for someone else's payday?

Well, you don't pull out and just stop. You manually finish off the last couple of strokes. And yes, we much prefer pulling out to condoms. You don't feel anything when wearing a condom.

So, have it reboot during the day, while you are at work...

qqwweerrttyy, try reading next time! The article starts off saying it wasn't written for the people who are happy in their jobs. It was literally the first 3 sentences that made this clear!
