Why should the US government bother to contribute to the project when we can wait for the Europeans to do the research and use the NSA to steal their tech. The the government can just give the NSA the funds they didnt contribute to the process and all the politicians are happy.
While I'm not familiar with exactly how the wayback I would assume it caches a copy and serves it up so the error code could be handled on the server side. It may not be how the author proposed, but it seems sensible for archival purposes.
I have to disagree. I have been using that keyboard since 2006 and I love it (not as much as my new mechanical keyboard mind you but that's another story). I use the calc function alot at work and the layout just seems to work for me. I am all for trying new designs, if it works great if not, return it.
But hey, I'm an engineer, not a scientist, so what do I know.
This part made me laugh
To guard against data loss and system slowdowns, Google and Yahoo maintain fortress-like data centers across four continents and connect them with thousands of miles of fiber-optic cable. These globe-spanning networks, representing billions of dollars of investment, are known as “clouds” because data moves seamlessly around them
Go to a store and buy a board game. If its sucks take it back. The store normally accepts them with no questions.
Why should it be different for a console game?
As far as the "no return policy", it is non-sense, especially when it comes to console games. The reason I say this is because if you wanted to make an illegal copy of it, you could just go out and rent it, or use your buddies.
Since with a console you have the ability to rent a game, why should you not have the option to return it if it sucks. Because it would be much easier to pirate it via other means.
Ok, you could make the argument that some one will beat it and then return it. That is a good a argument and very true, so have a 15 day, if this game sucks get your money back policy. This might encourage gaming companies to make good games and have the companies that are wasting time and money making crappy games close.
I just feel, and this is from my limited understand of evolution and Darwinism, that evolution isn't truly science either.
If someone could some me some kinds of cross species link that show how we derived one from another then that would be a different story.
But in my view evolution is like saying that you make apples into seed weed in a matter of a few million years. That to me just seems a little too far fetched. I just see evolution of the only way of explaining existence and eliminating a designer.
I beg the question, if man did not invent computers and software, would have it come into existence in a billion years?
In response to the question of practicing what they preach, some christian organizations do attempt to.
Obviously, no one is perfect. No organizations is perfect either. But at least SOME of us strive to act upon our beliefs.
I believe in free will and that everyone has the right to their own opinions. But I also believe that you must strive to follow the teachings of the bible, not the teachings any one man or group of men teach.
Many religions don't encourage the reading of the bible daily. This is especially important if you believe in God and want to make him happy.
Now I'm not going to sit here and say 'well this is the way it is so you have to believe it'. But as an intelligent human we should allow all to have their own beliefs and if some one wants to believe them, no one should have the right to tell them otherwise.
Back to the question of ID, I think schools should offer both teachings. Neither are provable as correct or incorrect, they are both theories, but the students should be allowed to decide what they believe in and what makes sense to them.
To many times schools teach only one point of view. That is the view point of their books, what they learned, and what their curriculum says they should teach. In doing this, they don't teach free thinking, and the option to do what you see as right.
But I guess that is our society getting us all to believe what they deem as true or correct.
One last thing to the above post,
Jehova's Witnesses have whatever they call that 'board of elders' that are always right and if you go against them you aren't going to heaven, etc...
before you understand something you shouldn't just state it. Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe that A) the elders are always right. and B) they do NOT teach everyone one is going to heaven. They teach that only a select few a going to heaven to reign as priests and judges, and the rest of mankind who made God happy and followed his laws, will live forever on a paradise earth.
It makes me sooooo mad when people make claims of things they believe as true and don't even do research. All you need to is is a quick Wikipedia search: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jehovah's_Witnesses. I don't mean to be a troll but come on.
AMEN
plus if MS whats to steal another idea and label it as their own what else is new. Billy Boy has been cloning software and repackaging it all his life.

What about a new 4xx code. Like 444 - Original not Found, but Archived Version Available [here]?
