Unlike some water-resistant coatings, it remains more-or-less intact when the fabric is rubbed vigorously, although it didn't survive an everyday washing machine cycle.
I am so angry at SpaceX! My children and I were very scared. How dare them conduct this test without letting us know! We live across from the McGregor Airport and our entire house shook and trembled. The sky was on fire. My 11-year-old son said he âoethought the sun was exploding.â I grabbed a jug of apple juice and made my kids go into my closet fearing the worse.
So, when you fear for the worse, you go into your closet with a jug of apple juice? "One apple a day keeps the doomsday away."
Popper was too hard in his way of thinking. If you only follow what he said, you'll eventually end up having to drop all Medicine as non-scientific (and Medicine does work) and so all the Human Science. Anyway, I think it works very good on the hard sciences (Physics being the first example).
It Really doesn't have anything to do with whether or not the theory expresses reality.
If you're using Popper's way of doing Science, you'll never know for sure if a theory expresses reality. The theory will be more plausible as it provides data about the reality and when it shows correct predictions about observable facts.
No, I didn't read it, but it seems really good. I'll look after it.
My sig comes from Borges, an author I deeply recommend. If you don't know him, and if you're interested, you can start by reading this book. This short story, The Library of Babel, is particulary interesting if you like math, computers, and something like that.
I imagine how those developers working on Linux would be looked by the other MS employees. 'Oh, man, they're in the Dark side. They wear dark clothes, long hair, a beard, this can't be a good thing.'
And the belief that a completely unregulated market will solve, or avoid, all sorts of problems is so deeply held completely in spite of the fact that, according to the proponents of this ideology, such a market has never been seen in all of human history?
You're right. This sounds to me like communists who call themselves 'marxists'. 'The earth has not seen a true marxist regime'. They say exactly the same thing: things were bad because people didn't go far enough into the idea. Blergh.
I don't know much about the political groups in the US , but here in Brazil there is a small group (but very, very noisy one) that likes to call themselves libertarians but are, in fact, only economically libertarians. Now, by the feedback I've received, I understood the same thing doesn't exist in the US - or, at least, it's not called the same way.
I'm sorry I caused all this mess because I couldn't (and here you can replace 'couldn't' with 'was lazy to') read something before posting anything. By no means I'm arguing that all libertarians are hypocrites - even here there is a respectful libertarian group.
I couldn't agree more. I'm tired of all economic libertarians saying the market will rule itself despite many examples showing just the oposite.
And the worst thing is that many of those so-called libertarians favor the government in the current individual freedom issues we're having (eg: the Patriot Act) and when it comes to 'impose freedom' to other nations.

Maybe selling your sons isn't that bad after all.
Ops...

No. I follow Indiana Jone's way of hiding into nuclear-proof refrigerators.
What about monkey-dancing? The judge will be amazed!

I quite enjoyed it. Nothing like a glass a scotch a lawn chair a cigar and 1.5 million foot pounds of pressure to make someone feel alive.
Man, gotta love the smell of burning proppelant in the morning. I love this one:
Wow..Just observing the numerous misspelled words in your posts makes me realize why you idiots thought that the aliens were coming!

US troops are cheaters. They use all those hi-tech weaponry and the other teams only have AK's, knives and home-made explosives.

It is needed because silverlight has a different implementation of the CLR, which supports dynamic languages such as javascript or python.
So, you need a long beard to support python?
Ok, now it's official: with Silverlight, 2009 will sure be the year of Linux in desktop!
There's no turret defense. How could I live without a good turret defense game?

A spider that had been sent to the International Space Station for a school science program was lost.
The spider's just out missing some classes. For sure, he (or she) was tired of all those science stuff. Damn boring teachers!
Grab your katanas! Bill is coming! The day has come!
There's a lot of money there. I think audits on those cases are common and I guess there's nothing to be afraid of.
...and not after some other fictional 'non-profit' organizations?
In Jurassic Park they used frog DNA to replace the missing parts. And frogs are alive and well too.
