When did I state that "downloading is a revolutionary act?" I never did, and I never intended to.
The grandparent poster was making a blanket statement that we always should yield to the government. I was merely pointing out that this is not always the best thing to do.
What would be cool would be direct interaction with the brain to make it feel like participants are truly immersed in the virtual world--like what's in Arthur C. Clarke's The Light of Other Days. Hopefully one day...
(I just want to make it clear that I agree with evolution and natural selection. I only ask to further my knowledge and understanding of the subject).
Why does my biology book use HIV as an example of natural selection if HIV is not alive?
I have been unfortunate enough to have had an ID "biology" professor. Surprisingly he taught natural selection and had no problem with that, but the thing he denied was that new genetic "information" gets added to genomes (I think he equates "new information" with new alleles).
I am not an expert in biology or genetics, so I may be way off here. Would resistance to anti-biotics in micro-organisms be an example of genetic sequences being rearranged or duplicated, or is there actually a new genetic sequence each time the micro-organism becomes resistant to an anti-biotic?
If you're playing music via a Flash music player like the MySpace player, you can use Firebug to tell where the actual music file is located. Not sure if this works all the time.
The contents of your brain would NOT be backed up with this device. Rather, the raw audio and video it received as input would merely be recorded.
This thing (obviously) does not record the associations made by a person's brain based on the raw input the brain receives. And it also does not record other inputs, like taste, smell, and touch.
The idea is basically to wear a camera and an audio recorder and have a way of searching through the recorded data. Nice, but this is no where close to backing up the contents of one's brain.
When locusts swarm, are they ALWAYS chasing one another? Does the idea of there being several leaders in the swarm and the swarm moving due to a bias still play a part in the swarm's movement?
...we could just pray and ask our god friend to tell us where these diseases will break out. Better yet, we could just assume that the areas with the most sin are the most likely to have outbreaks. How could we go wrong?

Yes, and the Boston Tea Party was wrong. So was the American Revolution. We should *always* do what the government demands. Always.
Your kind will soon enough be naturally unselected.
The end times have been delayed!
I have another word: Guarana.
...ScuttleMonkey. You can do better than that. This is not news for nerds, and it does not matter.

I'm sure this would be good for the survival of the species.
If you're computer savvy and have a gateway computer or a UNIX-based OS on your router, you could run a proxy like Privoxy and filter this stuff out.
Have new alleles actually come into existence, or were existing ones selected?

Are viruses even alive in the first place?
The Bible does, but whether science does is highly debatable.
By god, right? How about a better word, like 'consists?'
I went swimming in a lake with mine in my pocket (accidentally). Still worked.
Doesn't this only pertain to American humans?
That's pretty freakin awesome. Didn't know that existed; thanks for sharing.
Just to be clear, I subscribe to ToE.

Or we could just use Linux with mplayer :)
Man, I'm using IE from now on. It's WAY more secure...
