If you are to pay someone to assemble your IKEA furniture, you are nullifying the price advantage to buy this crap at a bargain price in first place. So, you better than put that money on better, already assembled furniture. Take into consideration your IKEA furniture will end up in the garbage within a 5 to 10 years period of time. High quality furniture will last many generations. IKEA furniture is a good idea for the young people just starting in life and prone to move in the early period of their adult life. You don't want to invest too much in furniture you believe you won't move when moving from a city to another. However, on the long term, high quality furniture is a better investment.

'Making profit at all costs.'

Nice oxymoron.

On another hand, if you actually want to damage the aircraft carrier or attempt to the life of its operating staff. A remote controlled quadcopter, octocopter, plane or whatever drone you want is not the best way to accomplish it. Just use a RPG, bazooka or whatever other more efficient explosive payload delivery system exists. You will tell me it is easier to get an hand on a drone than a bazooka, however you still have to get some semtex which shouldn't be easier to obtain than a bazooka. Delivering two kilos of semtex on the upper deck will not do much damage by itself.

Exactly that. The problem is not with women in the workplace, it is with companies policies to artificially boost women representation in the workforce. It is bad generalization of the global representation within the population. This is actually a well-known sophism of hasty generalization.

Even past Mars solar cells are so, so. Imagine at that distance.

Well, notes are not necessarily telling the truth. They are not necessarily reflecting the reality. It is not because the author is now dead it is more credible. There is a lot of people committing suicide on false perceptions or just because of mental illness.

That's why I believe BeauHD is on autopilot mode and let this story make its way to Slashdot while it shouldn't since there is nothing to discuss. The driver doesn't know if the autopilot was engaged or not. So, until we know, there is nothing to discuss. Why /. are you wasting our time publishing such stories?

Pretty stupid comment. Like speaking different languages is the only way someone may accomplished himself. A fortiori if speaking means learning a subset of already made sentences while singing. BTW, how useful is this today to speak six languages unless you are a translator?

I wonder if she actually speak fluently six languages or if she just sing opera in six languages.

Spot on. As a friend of mine said after the news of her nomination came out.

Better build an ark.

You are right, very old buildings are built with framing lumbers having the actual 2x4 dimensions. I don't know when exactly the industry switched to 1.5x3.5, but it is somewhere between 1930 and 1970.

To put things in perspective, the Milky Way is about 100 000 light-years in diameter. The Sun is located about 25 000 light-years from the center. So far, the very first radio signal human made sent from the Earth hasn't reach that many solar systems. In a sphere of 49 light-years from the Sun, there is about 208 stars of absolute magnitude 8.5 and brighter. Keep in mind the strength of a radio signal is proportional to the inverse of the square of the distance between the sender and the receiver.

Pointless comment. We got the fucking signal, nothing like sending a radio signal to Napoleon Bonaparte.

Western countries can claim greener and cleaner economy because they moved the dirty business in these countries. Trump wants them back in USA. That's why he withdrawal from Paris Climate Accord. These dirty businesses provide job for the less educated in the country.
