You've responded to the second part of: "able to respond to low-energy deposits (information) with high-energy reactions (e.g., movement)" How does your comment about sparks address the alternatively stated requirement: &quot

I find the font colour problematic at times, because it's very similar to that of the opponents; so occasionally a selected word isn't easily visible against it's background, and I'm not certain which letter I've mi

Where do you live, approximately, if you don't mind me asking?

Skiing is expensive, I agree. But less so if you own the equipment. The same goes for a range of other activities. Mountain biking is probably one of the best value-for-money winter sports I can think of in the UK (where I live) and NZ (whe

Skiing. (Or snowboarding. Or ice climbing. Or mountaineering. For those in milder climates: mountain biking) The take-home point is: get a great winter activity to look forward to. I used to feel this way (depressed in winter), but not sinc

As the other person who replied only really addressed pollution, I'll add that you should stop eating fish. And if that's asking too much, catch it yourself. And if that's asking too much, there are definitely operators out t

Fishing techniques have improved rapidly over the past few decades. The price of fish is only a measure of supply in as much as we can continue extracting fish. It's no indication of how close we are to running out.

Large is relative. I thought Owl, Osprey. Ostrich (another comment) is of course larger. Guess your answer depends on your training set.

In the face of what antocv said, how can you possibly not qualify this comment?

Here's the way in which I presume your comment was interpreted: You are not [supposed to make your boss look good]. Not that I would've interpreted it that way, however.

Did you ever do that thing in primary school where you put one finger in each corner of your mouth and say "My Dad's a national banker"? If you didn't, I acknowledge that it's weird, but it was funny when I was eigh

Upon re-reading my comment, I should probably clarify: the government backed down on mining conservation land.

I wouldn't go that far (see my rant about NZ above). I'll be interested to see more analysis on this bill, or how it's interpreted in court.

Kiwi here. As another commenter mentioned, don't be. Overall, I think things are going downhill. The New Zealand Law Society recently reported to the UN Human Rights Council indicating that we've passed a number of laws recently t

I think another important aspect of this is that the (relatively unchanging) resource at /2012/01/02/news/ shouldn't be moved to /archive/2012/01/02/news/ without at least a redirect. The point being that if the resource still exists, the o

Smart people don't only come from smart parents. While I'm sure there's a factor, I suspect the part of genetics is overstated in intelligence. Or, to put it another way, maybe we should earnestly focus on educating the kids we have as well

I'm not sure what the official stance on this is, but I always thought "fewer" was used in the case of discrete subjects, and "less" in the case of continuous. So it's always amusing when someone talks about "less people".

It'll only partly solve your problem, but you can have one profile current in incognito and another current in your normal window. This is what I do when someone wants to quickly check their fb/gmail while I'm logged in.
