You are mispeaking and this is a catch 22 as we could go on endlessly.
But lets make this simpler and less controversial. I'll revise my original statement to:
I assume you include crackpots like Maxwell and Planck among the unscrupulous exploiters of scientific ignorance.
The point you are missing is that because he didnt believe in a personal God does not mean he did not believe in a God.
To claim he was an atheist is a stretch. "There are people who say there is no God," he told a friend. "But what makes me really angry is that they quote me for support of such views." Einstein never felt the urge to denigrate those who believed in God; instead, he tended to denigrate atheists. "What separates me from most so-called atheists is a feeling of utter humility toward the unattainable secrets of the harmony of the cosmos," he explained.
While it may not have be Abraham's God it isn't the other end of the spectrum (Dawkin's Nothingness) either.
Uhhhhhhh 5-star fail (http://failblog.org/)
If you're going to quote, at least try someone or a source less slanted.
If Einstein was not religious he was deeply spiritual and he was certainly not an atheist. Though this is a controversial subject it has been misrepresented by both sides by guys like Dawkins. What is clear perhaps is that he did not believe in a Judgmental Creator (personal God). However, to say that it's nonsense and that he didnt believed in an orderly creation is nonsense. He did not believe in chance determining the universe. Some people call that a creator or God as did he. Provocative choice of word especially amongst his peers.
I understand what you're saying. I don't think it's analogous to LCD. Just the way I am reading it perhaps. My understanding is the screen doesn't need to be fundamentally changed to produced an active matrix display at the level of a pixel.
Very true but the following suggests it just might:
1. Esquire is inviting people to play with it infers it might be. It may not be the cheapest of the cheap and in fact they offset the cost with the other e-ink screen (the ford advertisement for the flex).
2. As the article states they opted for better "flex connections (these are pricey connections). It looks like it was made to be reprogrammed and different screens."
It's all very possible. I'm hopefull.
I think you are misunderstanding the technology. Review: http://www.eink.com/technology/howitworks.html
They are very much pixels, dots, or "e-ink microcapsules" which means you should be able to draw any image you want. In the howitworks they seem to have 3 shades: white, black, and grey.
When you say you can only show what it was designed to that sounds like if it has an "1" you only get 2 bars like on a calculator. That is really misunderstanding what is actually going on here.
I'm just stating facts, i was trying to be secular and non-judgmental. to say something is something other than it purports to be is making a judgement call.
I was merely stating the fact that islam does acknowledge christ not only as a person but also as someone inspired by a higher power... i.e. divine.
...the scientologists are going to get you for hosting all these blasphemous comments.
how come all their famous members are half-witted artists. why no notable nobel prize winners. you would think some physics guys would appreciate having science fiction for a religion.
I don't know who made this particular definition "official" but I'd reject any such definition that classifies EVERY non-christian religion as a "cult". Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, etc. ALL meet your #1 criteria; they reject Jesus Christ.
ehhh you're only partially right....
Muslims (islam) do not reject Christ and in fact Muhammad acknowledges him as a divine profit in the Koran. Albeit he is not the major profit as in Christianity.
GREAT idea. wish the did the same here in nyc.
here in ny local news station (1010am) asks people to call in traffic updates which are free if you have a certain carrier.
even the mta (metro subway) used surveys a few years back when they first went electronic with the metrocard. dont see why they couldnt log entrance exits and entrances and times.
I would love to see a class action to get back money for DVDs that didnt work in my player because of their protection i have to assume. I just bought the 300 and it wouldnt work on an older DVD player. im sure less legal copies would have no problem.
On another note, i would love to see a class action challenging some of the fair use rights we lost with DMCA. I am of the view that i shouldn't be penalized because someone is copying illicitly. i believe the aclu was pursuing this. did anything become of it?
well theoretically, if we dump enough gas into the sky and block the suns rays from ever even entering we would have the reverse effect of warming but cooling. Perhaps we need to find a good balance:)
All this fuss over the math is making the invalid assumption that the 25 viruses appear only once. The viruses were setup in different ways: within archives (rar, zip), attached, merged The samples file itself contains 34 files.
To get a more accurate count times the total number times the virus was presented.
On another note, i tested with avast v4.7 which did very well. Not as good as kaspersky though which found 2 more after avast said everything was clean.
sounds like a bad idea to me. What happens if the government spyware is in the wrong hands. Seems to me this would be very dangerous and open up a can of worms to someone hoping to protect their computer.
An example is Encase FIM (just for law enforcement FBI/Police/etc) which has a remote stealth agent for connecting to evidence computers. This is not picked up by scanners but im sure its available on warez sites which probably means its not just in intended hands.
In the end i want an AV tool that can tell me if anything potentially dangerous is going on with my computer. The AV tool wont be able to discern if the user of the spyware has good or bad intentions so it shouldnt try (especially based on the author of the spyware).
On the other side of the coin, I would think the journals provide some level of oversight as to what actually gets published. Meaning i wouldnt want any fool publishing his/her theories on the world. The government would have to compensate in this role and have specialists performing this function for every discipline.
on another note, should the government regulate what is worthy of publication and who is worthy.

link above is reading the esquire article the same as me. Could take the display and turn it into something else like "a dirt cheap e-book reader."

I did my part and gave a 1 star rating without owning it. 8-B Hopefully EA really is looking.
I'd love to see the companion to this article. Greatest unsolved computer exploits. They never seem to get much publicity when they are not caught.

after you press ctl+sht+a it appears perpetually under the tool menu. i wonder if its a feature they planned on implementing in a later release.

along the same lines... i have a calculator that is more powerful than the fastest supercomputer 50 years ago. I should send my findings.
