An AP attorney filed six Digital Millennium Copyright Act takedown requests this week demanding the removal of blog entries and another for a user comment.
that would be true except for the fact that your intelligence is only possible because your brain is constructed of billions of cells with discrete knowable functions and mechanisms. ultimately, because it is made of a finite number of components, components that are getting better understood over time, it is only a matter of time before humans like us engineer something of equal if not superior function and design compared to our own intelligences.
That's why it is religious theory, not scientific.
exactly. The point I was making however, is that of burden of proff which resides on te believer/claimant; eg. if I claim that there is a cliche' invisible teapot in orbit, I'd have to show evidence of its existence.
Why should it? Nothing has been offered that refutes Creationism.
you mean like say endogenous retroviruses, nylon-eating bacteria, HIV, antibiotic resistance, human chromosome 2, pseudogenes, Alu [all 500,000 of them] along with other bits of complete and utter trash littered throughout the human genome... I'd say there's a considerable lack of evidence in favor of creationism, and tons of evidence in favor of evolutionary change.
1) mining helium 3 currently there are no viable fusion reactors to use any of it though
2) space telescopes
3) forget the moon, visit an asteroid instead-
the moon requires that rockets carry much more fuel for laeaving the moon than an asteroid, also the moon is deficient in volatiles in comparison to many asteroids/comets
yeah, when the national debt gets too high compared to the GDP you get problems, less money to lend for example, higher inflation [weak dollar] and if it gets high enough the GDP gets the chair knocked out from under it leading to recession. As for the consequences of "everyone hating us" I would imagine that it might affect the balance between exports and imports, people boycotting american goods if that is occuring...
Yeah, the acceleration capabilities of the hardware are not accessable from anything other than the stock OS so not too useful i nthat area and as you said, these processors are limited in what they can do, parallelisation for example isn't all that useful for tasks that cannot be parallelized [a lot of the desktop computing isn't if I remember correctly] and then again there actually might be a way to use that 3d capability after all, I haven't personally tried it so take with a dish of salt: http://forums.ps2dev.org/viewtopic.php?t=8364&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=211
Great, if we do actually get to see Duke Nukem forever for sure... in our hands... what will replace the ever popular Duke Nukem Forever vaporware meme? Spore?
it should frighten *everyone* that Government took it upon its self to grant special powers to those who would and do threaten our civil liberties in favor of perceived safety. It shouldn't surprise anyone though and that is sad,
If I remember correctly, the excuse used for doing so was that reduced revenue = reduced spending [i.e. cutting things] to prevent an explosion of the national debt... it happened with reagan, bush senior and now bush junior and if mccain is elected... you get the idea... at no time since reagan have we actually seen any favorable results in terms of reducing spending enough to compensate for the tax breaks. not once.
except that if it bothers enough people, it can be changed. for example, if Debian found this unacceptable, they could make a few code changes for their version of Iceweasel, same with anyone else.
Debian has KDE 4.1beta1 in the experimental branch.
debian unstable and experimental should satify the requirements for KDE4.1: eg.
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ experimental main non-free contrib
deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ experimental main non-free contrib
if you're trying to use the debian port, know that Linux Mint being based on Ubuntu which is based on Debian is no longer close enough to use Debian's experimental branch packages. for an experimental beta like this, you would probably be better off either compiling from source [pain in the arse if you ask me] or installing the debian port on debian through a virtual machine of course any of the other OS/port combos would likely work too.
depends on what linux distro you're using. so far there are packages for mandriva, opensuse, debian and fedora. the release has also been ported to windows and mac with a set of packages for kubuntu coming up in a little bit however you can compile from source if you really really need to have the beta on other distros/OSes

30 billion dollars = 60 million PCs with decent processors to take care of pretty mcuh any cyber war they want.
compile them yourself I guess...

You're right, he did it of his own free will- that should scare you.

more like moral hazard
Ignorance is bliss.
I would imagine that you could support the superconductor material with something significantly stronger

correction: viacom wants all of the pie but they're going to get nothing if they keep fighting.
Viacom wants some of the pie, they claimed that youtube was unfairly benefiting from viacom's intellectual properties...
you have a point, MKVs in particular don't seem to play well... half the time the subtitles don't show up at all...
