Further research would be required to determine if we are exactly in line with the axis of the system - but even if we are, we probably still have hundreds of thousands of years to come up with a solution, said Tuthill. I'll just leave this little problem to my great(x1428) grandchildren to deal with.
Classic misunderstanding of the Catholic Church. We don't disagree with evolution. We say it is a theory, good science, and (most importantly) not contradictory to the faith.
Basically, the Catholic Church says: Evolution is how God created, Bible is why.
That said I think evolution is a much more beautiful thing than God just snapping His fingers and saying "BAM!"
If Comcast states in the agreement that they monitor what the bandwidth is used for and that they throttle down whenever they deem it appropriate, it would not be fraud. It's only fraud if they mis-represent the truth in the contract, which they probably will not because they are coming clean.
Everyone knows printers get sold for nothing and all the money is made on the ink and paper. You don't here about raids for selling printers below cost Since it is generally accepted by all printer manufacturers that there is no money in printer, but rather in the ink, all the companies are doing it. In fact, since there are more than two companies doing this practice and surviving (even thriving) then it clearly is not a monopoly. If there were only two printer companies in the world, and the much larger one started selling ink for nothing, then the analogy would be comparable.
That said, you raise an interesting point about where Intel/AMD make their money. Is it in the CPU or the Mobo's/Video Cards/etc that are optimized to work with the CPU?
Uhm, most of our space exploration to date has been unmanned. Mars rovers, the probe that just flew by Mercury, et al. Actual time spent in space has to be greater on the robot side than on the human side. Humans can only take so much, machines are... well.. machines.
I don't think pollution would be a huge factor. There wouldn't really be a global warming problem in North America (or anywhere) if there was only one coal plant in the entire continent and no other green house gas emitters (cars, factories, etc) anywhere else.
It may have been a good idea to leave him in to prevent the discussion from completely revolving around him anyway. Then again, it probably would revolve around him no matter what. This being the internet and all...
At first, I disagreed with you. But on comparing this with another medium on the internet (Visual Art) I see an interesting correlation.
Art Gallery is to Radio
Actual Painting is to CD/Non-Degraded format
High Resolution Picture on the Net is to mp3s
If someone scans a painting and puts it on the internet in a viewable, but degraded, fashion is it legal? If so this law might actually make sense. The only issue I see is proving that listening to Soulja Boy is educational...
Do you have any development documentation to prove that?
Is it up to date? Is it progressive VS any other codec out there? Do you need GBs of music to better understand the format, or only maybe one song at every different combinations of encoding?
Too late...

Is this kind of speed possible for a tiger? Apparently yes. Syed says tigers can reach speeds of 35 miles per hour with a run up of only a few feet so this enclosure was clearly no barrier to Tatiana.
After her leap for freedom, Tatiana killed 17-year old Carlos Souza and was shot dead after mauling two other victims. Emphasis mine.
Well... I guess I'll talk about this one as well then. Though this one isn't as easy.
Seems to me like the most harm being done is by the people in the towns, as opposed to the actual Church proper. The then Cardinal Ratzinger sealing the inquiry makes sense if you think about it. I mean, there have been cases with teachers and such where a student lies about abuse and the teacher's reputation is ruined. If 10% (arbitrary number) of pedophile cases are fraudulent everywhere, we can assume that 10% in the Church are fraudulent as well. Therefore, in order to protect those 10% from being humiliated unjustly would we say that it is fair to protect everyone assuming they are innocent (which we must do in the normal legal system) until they have been proven guilty, then hand over everything found to prove them guilty to the authorities?
I'm sure there is a better way, but this idea doesn't not make sense.
And in addition, I'll be one of the first to say that there have been/are some serious issues in the Church, and that is as a Catholic who will remain a Catholic until death and ever after. So what do you think I can do to fix it?
Read the citation...
The charges were ignored by the Church hierarchy until two months ago when a papal investigation commenced. The inquiry was ordered by the Pope after appeals from chuch leaders to settle the controversy and restore the Church's status in Austria.
Now the statement follows a request from the Pope that Cardinal Groer give up his duties and is being taken as a sign that the investigation has found against him. Citation
I think 'ignore' might be a bit of literary flare, getting a full blown Papal Investigation going isn't exactly a small task. The Pope is somewhat busy, running the largest single group of people in the world. It probably took as long as it did to get started. And in two months they ask for the Cardinal's resignation. I wouldn't call that covering up.
RTFA sir...
He [The Pope] rejected accusations from critics who say the Church is an obstacle to science and human progress The last thing the Pope is going to do is say that all Medicine is bad. To believe that is blatant ignorance on your part.
I will be sure to convey your disapproval to my sister that she allowed doctors to perform a Cesarean Section on her during a difficult childbirth. This was, after all, nothing more than medical intervention to allow procreation and must therefore be against God's will, correct? Caesarean Sections are quite allowed. If a life begins at conception then any followup procedure that is involved in saving that life is perfectly acceptable. Unfortunatly I can't source this after 20 minutes of googling, however, as a Catholic I am pretty confident that Caesarean Sections are completely moral actions. (If I am wrong then I was born illegitimately!)
If you believe that the Pope is saying that Medicine is evil you are completely wrong. What the Pope is saying is that research into embryonic stem cells causes the death of a person (where a "person" is defined as an embryo at the moment of conception, through birth, through life, and unltimatly until the moment of death). It is imoral to cause the death of a person, therefore it is imoral to do research with embryonic stemcells. If Medicine were evil, why would so many of the early hospitals be Catholic, run by orders of priests/brothers/sisters who have sworn obedience to the Pope?

Mod parent up, speaking the truth.

Next time I'm about to fart on somebody's face, I'm going to say, "You're about to experience chaos."
The judge read that as inadmissible because it would cause the jury to become biased on a non-factual (emotional) level. Apparently he was right.

I guess I thought it would be reasonable to assume we were talking about copyrighted content considering the context. Seems I was wrong...
Do you have any development documentation to prove that?

If one was to download an mp3, would one need to prove that it is being used for Educational or Scientific use?
