Jews believe than mankind is made in the image of God (which is probably what she meant); Son of God relates to the trinity--that Jesus was on a similar level to God himself, which is absolutely antithetical to classical Jewish thought (both pre- and post-dating Jesus.)
None of that information is new...of course there are different ways of measuruing unemployment. The one we mainly use is what percentage of people are looking for a job. "Chronically unemployed" is another way of saying "bum". Note also that before WWII most women stayed at home; workforce participation has increased tremendously in the last 60 years. CPI is very complex--the statistical adjustments are likely over- and underestimating inflation. That computer (or TV, or car, or washing machine, or health care) you just bought for $1000 is ten times better than a $1000 computer you bought ten years ago. Etc. etc.
That graph is highly misleading--generally you compare debt as a percentage of GDP. If you look at the source for that figure you'll notice that only about half is actually held by the public, the rest is held by other government agencies or the Federal Reserve. Another point is that the American government is getting very advantageous interest rates on the debts (bonds) it sells. ((Between 4.44% and 4.72%) which barely outpaces inflation, which is usually between two and three percent. On top of that, the GDP continues to grow between two and three percent (conservatively).
To end off, let's compare some major economies and their level of debt.
Nope. Oil is generally used for transportation only (in the US) becasuse of its high energy density and ease of delivery. If they could put a nuclear reactor at the Tar Sands to provide the energy to recover the oil, even if it took two kwh to collect one kwh of oil, it would still be to our advantage.
Well, I just checked, the new Desktop Search doesn't properly index mhtml files...unfortunate.
That plug in will go through my mhtml files and treat them as text files, not ignoring the HTML mark-up, which makes it not ideal. Better than nothing I suppose.
Well, I guess the point is that previous administrations did not have to grapple with the same ethical concerns, so you can't paint Bush as some uniquely anti-scientific Neanderthal.
I'm a physics major; I tried reading the book summer after my junior year. I kinda gave up. Many parts are as hard as a grad level book, but not explained as well, and no problems to work out to help you understand it.(IIRC) I haven't looked at it in a while, so I might understand it better now. It was fun to skim through and ooh and ahh over some of the cooler parts though. You really can't judge the difficulty level of the book without looking at it. Just because I learned about Lagrangians or phase space already didn't mean I could follow all the arguments. (or at least without a very large amount of effort on my part.)
Well since your worldly view addresses exactly 0 (zero) of any of the big issues from the Israeli side, I stand by my original comment.
Well, I very rarely comment on these issues in a public forum, but your comment stood out, both for the general cluelessness about Orthodox Jews it displayed, and the rather ugly comparison to Afrikaners (there is no "South"), and not in a good way.
As for your friend Zach--being a religious Jew (usually referred to as Orthodox in America) implies a certain dress and comportment; wearing a yarmulke at minimum (for men.) While this is not something of great religious value in and of itself, it usually shows what sort of group that person identifies with. Additionally, thrice daily prayers, observance of kosher laws, care in speech, etc. are generally obvious and fairly reliable indicators of a person's religious leanings in this area.
another funny thing is that if you take a map of holland, and mark tiny red dots for every teenage pregnancy, you'll find a couple of big red blobs right in the areas where we still have some really, REALLY religious folks hanging out.
Perhaps because the really religious teenagers get married younger/refuse to have abortions?
Well as a Orthodox Jew, I should point out that it's not exactly hard to notice. Oh, and that Orthodox Jews have many different viewpoints on Zionism and the "peace process". I also have a sneaking suspicion that you have not the merest glimmer of what a "worldly view" is in this case.
Hmmm...I edited a 340 page book in Word '97 (with a P2 233 and 32 MB RAM) with several hundred megabytes of pictures and dozens of text boxes. Admittedly I did each chapter separately, and then combined all of them at the end. But I'm still impressed that the software could do it. (And don't talk about LaTeX please--I needed full WYSIWYG and be able to adjust all parts of the book dynamically.)
I might also add that I started the project within a month of acquiring my first computer--I very much doubt a newbie like me would have been able to accomplish anything substantial with LaTeX.
I think the bug challenge of which you speak is for Don Knuth's TeX btw, not Latex, which is still being actively developed.
What does WPA or WEP have to do with this? Those are wireless security standards. BPA is Broadband over powerlines into your home. Still wires. AS for cable modems...DOCSIS 1.0 security is pretty weak, DOCSIS 1.1 security is better, but many providers don't turn it on at all, which makes you quite vulnerable to anyone with a hacked cable modem.
That might be a problem with displaying all the digits...1 000 000! is approx. equal to 2.8 x 10^456573 which would take an incredibly long time to print out. I asked Mathematica to suppress the output;)

You have it reversed--the data acquisition is what's important. Not the "formulas" (which would probably be on the scientists home pc anyway, or a pad!)
It takes a long time to get viewing time on telescopes, (years sometimes, with your thesis possibly riding on it.) You also have to worry about the integrity of the data now, what if the joker added some random numbers, and boom--you just found a new quasar.

First of all, that link was not the main point of my comment (which you did not address.) Even so, what did you find misleading about it?
To end off, let's compare some major economies and their level of debt.
UK--40.8%

Italy--105.6%
Japan--164.3%
Russia--28.2%
Spain--53.2%
India--59.7%

Why don't you use ICE ECC? http://www.ice-graphics.com/ICEECC/IndexE.html You can add an extra layer of error correction when you burn data on to a DVD.

According to http://www.sgi.com/products/remarketed/onyx2/tech_ specs.html and http://graphics.tomshardware.com/graphic/20020625/ index.html
let's compare some specs
IR Pixel fill, smooth, Z 224M to 448M
Pixel fill, textured, AA, Z 156M to 312M
Polygons/sec 10.9 M
Memory 64MB + 80-160MB
In 3D Mark 2001 SE (which is *lower* than theoretical numbers) Parhelia scores
FR Smooth 751 MP
FR Textured 2478! MP
Polygons/s 11.1M (with 8 lights!)
Memory 256 MB
not to mention a nice new Athlon will be an order of magnitude faster than whatever MIPS processor is in there. 3-D technology moves very quickly...

Does it search inside mhtml files yet? I stopped using Google Desktop Search because of that limitation, has it changed?

Whoops, missed a zero. That would be about
8.3 x 10^5565708, which would take an even incredibly longer time to print out...
That might be a problem with displaying all the digits...1 000 000! is approx. equal to 2.8 x 10^456573 which would take an incredibly long time to print out. I asked Mathematica to suppress the output ;)
And in Mathematica 5.01, 1 000 000! takes 9.875 seconds on an Athlon 1700+. 10 000! took .016 seconds. (Of course, I didn't co-write it)
