Could the lessening of gravity's influence distort the structure of both the drug compounds and the chemical receptors in the body in unpredictable ways, so that they no longer chemically interact with one another?
Perhaps this is a good thing. I consider it like this.
I well understand the idea of downvoting to express a response towards ugly, trolling and irrelevant comments. By downvoting, responders show trolls that their attitudes are not welcome.
However newbies such as I are often too scared to ask our questions, or to comment on something of interest, or indeed to contribute in any way, for fear of someone more experienced coming along and downvoting us.
As a system of control, to weed out the unhelpful while promoting helpful discussion, karma points were initially a useful tool. High karma scores indicated a valued contributor to the site.
However once the mindset of points farming settles in, as I suspect it has done here, the contribution ceases to matter in the rush to acquire more points, leading to a drop in quality and this competitive points scoring obsession. Delusion replaces reason and desire to contribute.
Doing without the points scoring could go some way to redirecting the focus on the items and the discussions stemming therefrom, rather than on the karma farming.
I have a sneaking suspicion they voted for the Liberal Democrats because of the Lib Dems' promise to break up Labour's ID card, database state and DEA missteps - and instead, they just jumped into bed with the Tories.
So, it's a big case of collective cognitive dissonance and more than a little dose of healthy skepticism at the idea that a British bank would actually want to offer a grant, and not a loan - because that goes against their usual track record.
If you mean "online social networking," mostly broadcasting and sharing, and feedback from commenters.
Real world social networking, aka going out to network events and breakfasts, meeting people, sharing information about third party products and services I like through word of mouth and keeping a network of RL people ... can't get enough of that.
thanks for the clarification there. I meant specifically online social networking -- I hope the answer choices at the very least suggested thats what i meant :)
Like all things at which you have to work hard to gain ability, the original poster has but one course: the hardest one. To delve into those tiresome, brain-aching problems at which he once balked in school - the ones where he found that he had to put in a real effort.
And he will have to accept lots of failures before he can start to claim lots of successes. With nobody to mark his efforts down for not showing sufficient workings, however, admitting to failure can come a lot more easily when you only have your own self as teacher and student.
They'll probably reinstall that cable, now, with one small addition: an off switch, and a soldier on post nearby.
"Hello, Sergey, headquarters here. there's another insurrection. Throw the off switch."
Sergey throws off switch
"Okay, done." no signal "Hello? Hello?"
Once they put the service behind a paywall for the customers, they'll only end up putting themselves into the same market as Spotify and iTunes.
In other words, they'll just be a new face among the crowd in the market called The Competition, doing exactly the same thing as everybody else, yelling the same meaningless cant as all the other vendors. Not "share," but "buy."
And if the competition's already doing better than BT and has a more established fan base and brand, well, roll the dice.
A somewhat old article. The D'Armand Speers-teaching-his-son-Klingon story will probably persist long into Dr Speers' eighties.
I participated in a little Hol veS with Arika Okrent on a radio programme a while back. It was a challenge, and I won with honour.
I think that the people who mock conlangs the most tend to come from monoglot environments, so probably even those people, who seek to study natlangs outside of the one language they know, may baffle and perplex the monoglots.
Those who come from bilingual or polyglot backgrounds (myself included), on the other hand, would probably consider conlangs as just yet more, different languages to add to the lists of those languages they already know.
