science ought to look to take ideas from evolution every chance they get. usually there is a reason these sort of elements of nature are arranged as they are. is this kid the first to do that with solar tech?
Probably the lamest idea ever. Long range sniper kills of this type represent an insignificant minority of deaths, they really think people are going to wear this crap?
The detection method sounds flaky and lame. What I would pay to see though is the other side create an 'electromagnetic' interference device that causes this armor to 'stimulate' the wearer to dive into a brick wall or something.
This advice is just plain stupid. I'm all for standing up for yourself, but the way you are painting it is that you really have to fuck the guy up, which may well be deserved, but it's still very poor advice. What punishment are they likely to get for such an attack? Thrown out of school that's what. Congrats your advice has got him expelled. So jump the bully in an alley and do it you might say? That's fantastically lame advice too. Not only is it extremely risky, but the intended message you are attempting to send the other bullies is likely to be lost.
Bullies more often tread on the edge of what authority figures will enforce. Psychological abuse, knocking shit out of your hands, getting in your face. Often they rarely actually beat the kids up, just harass them constantly in ways that many teachers just won't do much about beyond telling them to knock it off if caught. Retaliating with an attack with the intent to jack them up is going to put your kid firmly in a much more clear bracket of trouble than what the bully is in.
Prob running something like dyndns or something that would automatically notify the server of the ip address when online, so he simply had to use his registered dyndns name.
My apologies, I meant origin of the universe when referencing big bang, in reference to the previous posters claim of not knowing where matter, etc came from.
There's no reason why someone can't be a believer of evolution while still being religious. They deal with different problems.
Would you call someone an evolutionist if they claimed that God created the first living cell (and only that cell)?
No, that would be a creationist. To me, the simple matter that someone is willing to abandon all reason and usually the search for truth(scientific progress) just because science can't yet answer that earliest part of the origin of life question is enough to group them with any other creationist. The "god did it" answers to all unknowns is useless and down right dangerous to the progress of human knowledge.
Faith is more often in direct opposition of scientific progress, because to make such progress in some cases provides compelling evidence to doubt what a believer previously held as truth. This is why creationists are trying to get their nonsense taught in schools as science, or failing that, trying to get evolution to be taught in such a way that reduces its scientific validity to those learning it.
In my opinion, the survival of religion as a whole is entirely dependent on the fact that science may not ever be able to answer huge questions such as the origin of life. In that sense, I believe religion is becoming threatened by science, which is leading to all this bullshit evolution vs creationism, even though at this second each subject isn't necessarily mutually exclusive.
I said plenty in my post, you just have your god goggles on. Creationists argue against evolution for a huge number of reasons. The origin of life is just one of them. Like I said, no FACTS support creationism, plenty of testable evidence support both evolution and big bang. That doesn't make them fact, that makes them the best explanation for what we know and can observe. Please entertain us with this prophecy that supposedly provides support. Phophecy is not fact.
There isn't a single thing in the bible which has any significant evidence of actually having happened. In fact, the most significant of the fairy tales, such as we all coming from 2 people, the flood/ark, etc have compelling evidence in science that they in fact didn't happen, or rather, if they did they left no evidence that such 'real' events would have left. Short of pulling a bag over your head and calling all science wrong, your superstition carries no more weight than following any other fantasy literature. Also, statistically makes more sense? Are you serious? That's the dumbest thing I've ever read. You are saying that explanations that can be observed, tested, and confirmed are inferior statistically to your bibles collection of nonsense that without exception requires the complete abandonment of logic, evidence, and reason? Wow, that defies belief there. You truly are a true believer.
Please, educate yourself on evolution. You keep echoing the same creationist drivel that shows complete ignorance of the subject. That referring to "just randomly combining like most 9th Grade Biology teachers hold happened". Here is some help on that particular subject. http://www.talkorigins.org/indexcc/CB/CB940.html No doubt that site addresses a number of your other bullshit creationist arguments as well.
the theory of evolution makes no claims on the origin of life.
the big bang is more of an attempt at that, sure, and it too supported by much evidence. like all things in science, evolution and big bang are the best we have right now given what we know, can observe and test against. that's infinitely more useful than what creationists have(nothing), and it certainly isn't a religion as you attempt to claim.
science follows theories best supported by evidence. if evidence contradicts the theory it must be adapted.
there is no reason to expect science will ever know how everything originated with high certainty. we may simply not have access to information needed to study and test with.
feel free to provide your arguments for why evolutionists should change their views. so far you have parroted typical creationist nonsense, typically fed by total ignorance of the theories you are arguing against.
There's a big difference to the ESRB, they have alot of assinine rules when it comes to ratings. They don't care if it takes a patch/hack to unlock it. If the art assets are there that is grounds to effect the rating of the game. It's pretty stupid I agree. That the assets existed on the disc brings into question the validity of the rating they received, resulting in them having to give it a new rating.
It's clothed game avatars performing sexual animations. Certainly nothing any more harmful than the content in the rest of the game. But since our country is so retarded with regards to sexuality(thanks religion), all hell breaks loose over effectively a dry humping minigame all to re-rate the game from 17 to 18(omg save the 17 year olds). It would not have been practical for the ESRB to test for the presence of this content. They don't go through and watch all game animations, so they couldn't have caught it like they could some nude textures or something.
Once that ESRB changed the rating then the idiots started coming out of the woodwork claiming they were somehow harmed by the content. It's a bunch of free loaders trying to make some money is all it is, and politicians trying to make a name off the controversy. It's all a sad demonstration of what a greedy society we've become.
Also, and I can not vouch for this personally, as I have never tried the 'mod'. But I have heard on numerous occasions that the content is accessible not through a actual applied patch, but by performing some things in the game in order to access it. If that is true, and I have no idea if it is or not, then that would certainly be grounds for re-rating, and unfortunately lawsuits, even though we all know a ratings change of 1 year does nothing at all for anyone.
Only if the 'patch' simply unlocked the X-rated scene that already existing on the disc. There is a huge difference between what you are saying and what the hot coffee mod actually did.
The AI kid will learn to hate people. Witness the evolution of Little Jimmy Skynet We're all doomed once he learns how absolutely pathetic people are in online social situations.
No, that's been clear for a very long time. It's a broken and retarded concept I agree. My point was that nobody is getting sued for right click save as copyright infringement for web page images and shit, so your example is fear mongering in my eyes.
Bullshit. With that logic anyone that has ever visited any page is infringing, because every browser I know of caches images and html pages in a directory somewhere. Maybe your fear mongering believes that too, but it would never hold up to scrutiny.

what will it take for this failed experiment to be abandoned?

Screw prior art, finally a "useful, concrete, and tangible result" demonstration
Clearly we knew monopoles exist already since Microsoft is guilty of being one right?

Religious views have never been based on good arguments.

only you can answer that, Jose :)
hehe. surprised that thieves are dumb? who would have thought that thieves are fucking idiots.

There is no slicing and dicing. Just because Darwin threw out a potential hypothesis doesn't mean it's an integral part of evolutionary theory.
