Yes

I'm on Cyproterone Acetate. Does it say anywhere in the paper if certain anti-androgens are worse than others?

"And before you downvote, ask yourself: Senseless violence to stop outsiders who are just trying to survive: is it really any less bad when the outsiders are animals?"

Yes, it is.

I use the equivalent thing on Firefox. Partly so I can use or not use different groups of addons quickly and easily, but also so I can be logged into the same websites multiple times on different accounts.

Not in my experience

Assuming the economy doesn't weaken and we find ourselves with less money to spend.

Or you can import the two images into graphics software like gimp. Invert the colours in the top image, then knock transparency for that layer down to 50%. If the images are identical, you'll just see grey. Any differences will instantly become visible.

It would help if Linux games actually worked on Linux, instead of only on single version of Ubuntu that's usually a few years out of date, and you have to have libraries X, Y and Z installed, only it won't tell you this, so have to trawl through various support forums. And god help you if you're running something truly bizarre, like Debian.

I usually have more success running the Windows version through Wine than I do running the Linux version. I wish I was joking.

I thought the Lunar Guidance computer used cooperative multitasking.

The Germans fired nearly as many shells, 1,100,000, in just the first five hours of the 1918 Spring Offensive.

Because nations tend to avoid starting wars they'll obviously lose.

If the US military falls behind technologically, other nations might start thinking defeat isn't so obvious any more.

Are most drone operators experts on bird of prey escape tactics?

The US Army's version might be new, but the general idea isn't. The Russian Drozd is the earliest of this type of system I'm aware of, and that was fielded in the late 70s.

That's more conspiracy theorist, than cynic.

I'd recommend Altirra even if you're on Linux, it works well through WINE.

There probably isn't enough data to render a full image, but how many lines do we need to draw to give the impression of a person, or a tree? Surprisingly few. Couldn't the same apply to a sonar image?

It's just an idea. I'm not saying its true, just that its an interesting possibility.

We might be looking for sentences and words that just aren't there. Dolphins see with sound, so maybe all those clicks and whistles are their way of sketching images for each other.

I though slat armour worked because RPGs only had a detonator in the nose, so unless you were very unlucky and the tip of the RPG hit a slat, the RPG would just jam itself between two of the slats.

That's backwards. Explosively formed jets need space to form, so work better if they detonate a little distance from the target.

And feeling targeted and discriminated against increases anger, fear and hatred of society, which leads to the outcomes that these policies are trying to stop.

I wonder what the chances are of a cosmic ray or some stray radiation causing AlphaGo to have problems. It's quite a rare event, but when you have 1920 CPUs and 280 GPUs, it might up the probability enough to be something you have to worry about.

Acoustic homing torpedoes.

We've had autonomous killing machines since WW2, and nobody seemed to care until recently when everything got reframed in a scary Skynet/Terminator way.

Most people seem to get their knowledge on the subject more from movies than reality.

8KB of ROM, 128 bytes of RAM.

It doesn't even have a screen buffer, just a half a line buffer. You have to count scan lines and keep track of what's being drawn on a cycle by cycle basis, then update the line buffer live to get what you want on screen.

If an EA-18G Growler is close enough to effectively jam the HQ-9's radar, then its close enough for the HQ-9's missiles to shoot it down.

And the HQ-9 or shorter range systems surround it are more than capable of shooting down any anti-radiation missiles fired towards it.

That sounds horrible. I don't want the internet to become a giant echo chamber. I want to hear differing views from time to time, because I might be wrong.

Seems similar to this http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/07/150701133348.ht...

I suspect a website called vactruth may not be the most impartial website around.

Margaret Thatcher was a research chemist.
