Of course, it helped that the enemy that we faced was morally bankrupt and couldn't have possibly won the cold war. It frightens me that people actually associate "morally bankrupt" with "couldn't have possibly won." The two don't necessarily go together.
See, the question "Does evolution occur?" is a very different question from "How does evolution occur?"
You're trying to provide evidence that Darwin didn't have enough information, or the right background, from which to answer the second one. The first one requires only an awareness of the mechanics of heredity and the will to examine a lot of phenotypes. Genetics doesn't need to come into it.
Are you forgetting the fact that the reason Darwin even postulated evolution was that he had mountains of data? Does the name H.M.S. Beagle mean anything to you? Evolution has been observed in the laboratory, as well as in the wild? Your comment betrays a great ignorance of the actual science.
I wonder if this man would have been freed if not for the media whirlwind and outcry over this.
In this era, it's almost our duty to raise hell about wrongheaded actions like this, since media attention and publicity can often be more successful than bona fide legal arguments.
I agree entirely with this statement. The whole appeal of Facebook was that it was simple, without 'bells and whistles' to annoy you or distract you. Thank Zeus we can still hide most of the things--even though it's enormously inconvenient to go through and do it.
The issue here is that he uninstalled WMP11, installed WMP10, and rebooted a couple times, whereupon everything worked again. Which seems to be fairly strong evidence that WMP11 may have been the problem, no?
True, something weird could've been going on that got fixed by a couple reboots, but Occam's Razor does unkind, sharp-edged, cutty-type things to that hypothesis.
It's not. It's measured in electron volts. 1 electron volt is equal to the charge on an electron (absolute value) times 1 volt.
A volt is a unit of energy per unit charge, so
(Energy/Charge)*Charge = Energy.
Or if you want to know it in joules,
1 Volt = 1 Joule/Coulomb and the charge on an electron is 1.60*10^-19 Coulombs, so 1 eV = 1.60*10^-19 Joules.
So that means they're measuring mass in terms of energy--which is fine, if you remember your Einstein.
I would say that's not true, unless you too strictly define a 'mistake' to be something that is demonstrably a bad idea using _known information. What if it turns out this thing is a black hole generator? The prospect doesn't worry me and it shouldn't worry you, because it's fantastically unlikely, but in that event we will know most definitely that turning it on was quite a big mistake, albeit one we didn't know about at the time.
That worst case scenario was only stated because of a strict adherence to the principles of science: since nobody's done it yet, there's technically no way to know what happens.
But common sense dictates that the world is probably _not_ going to end as a result of a high-energy collision between two particles. The energies involved aren't great enough to do that by, say, cracking the globe in two, so some weird effects from the collision would be the only way. You really have no cause for concern.
Did anyone else see the wings flex at landing, in the beginning of the video? I've never seen anything like that. Seems reasonable that you'd have to let them flex, though.
Yeah, no kidding, I really didn't realize/. had ads.

Base 13, of course.
I would very much like to know how this relates to haptic glove technology.

Well... No. Sorry.
Because "minister" has unpleasantly theocratic connotations?

My browser thinks that's the default value... what's the deal?

It doesn't really make sense. I think they're just trying to give a reference for how small this thing is.
Some of the demos are pretty funny. http://demonstrations.wolfram.com/AddingWholeNumbe rs/
I never imagined computers could do such things.
