No. The long day theory doesn't dismiss the account of creation, so "original sin" can stay. Furthermore, "original sin" isn't really necessary to Christianity.
I need to hear about this sect of Christianity that doesn't subscribe to Original Sin. Jesus was a big deal because he was a blood sacrifice to cleanse humanity of Sin. Without that, what else is there?
The chemistry between Leia and Han is much better than Anakin and Padme....snip...
I did not like Hayden Christensen's acting, but I also believe that a good director would've fixed that. If it's a bad take, you do it again. He was awkward and it made me cringe a few times.
I cringed more than a few times. I can't watch Episode 2. It's the worst of the the three to me.
To make it all worse, the Han/Leia love story is subplot; it isn't essential to the story. It certainly adds something, but it all still works without it. The Anakin/Padme relationship is the pivot on which the whole story arc depends. Everything that happens from episodes 2-6 is a result of what happens between them and I didn't believe any of it. (Faster-than-light travel, force fields, laser swords, traveling in a submarine through the core of a planet... all acceptable, but she's with him? No.)
It needed a script doctor who knows how to do romantic dialogue (isn't this what Carrie Fisher does in Hollywood? Can you imagine the fan reaction to that?) and a director who knows how to get decent acting out of a cast (Christiansen isn't great, but he's capable of more than we saw in Episode 2).
The image will come out of the copy machine right side up!
Patent pending.
Sure, it comes out of the copier oriented the right way along that axis, but the photocopier spits everything out face-down. How do we solve that problem, smartass?
Raises hand in court. "I have a question. I was surfing the web on my phone last night, googling the defendent's name..."
Would that be good enough to get kicked out of the jury during the middle of the trial?
Oh, and don't forget those sites that you can pay for background information about people.
If you're going to pull a stunt like that, do it when they are selecting, not in the middle of the trial. What you describe is just being an asshole messing with people's lives.
When 20/20 took a look at dangerous "exploding" trucks, it was found that if you put a small amount of explosive near the crash area, that you could indeed cause a truck to explode in an accident. But does that mean that the truck company should be found at fault for a usage scenario that is not supported?
Point taken, but to be fair that was NBC's Dateline that did that, not 20/20.
Graffiti was awesome! There were multiple ways to make some letters but all letters could be made with a single stroke. It was really fast. Graffiti 2 was a huge step backwards. I ended up copying Graffiti 1 files from my Handspring Visor onto my Palm TX to replace Graffiti 2 (a trick I learned about here on Slashdot, I think).
Any sources other than left-wing Huff post or media matters?
Honestly, no. There are decreasingly fewer and fewer non-blog, non-editorial sources for anything. That's what this whole discussion has been about. Legit and credible news sources barely cover the actual news, let alone fact-check one another. Fact-checking seems to be a vital service that is done exclusively by bloggers with an opposite ideological slant or by Jon Stewart.
That works okay for people reading on a PC, I guess. The paywall that matters to MYT's management is the one in the iTunes Magazine Store that pushes the NYT to subscribers' iPods and iTablets.
Hospitals charge so much. Someone along the way decided to jack up a price and its been flowing downhill to the consumers ever since.
Why not? Your health is the most valuable thing you have. As long as it is a commodity that you have to buy from someone, what price wouldn't you pay for it? So far, the market will bear health being a sixth of the entire economy. Shall we try for a fifth?
I just look at it like a game of Ikaruga... just make sure the dark bullets and ships don't touch your light-oriented ship. Or else you explode violently.
Deriving a Grand Unifying Theory of Everything is probably easier than Ikaruga.
Which the inner geek in me embraces Star Trek but oddly the girlfriend would not go with me to the theater to see so I got it on dvd. We did go see Twilight god help me got being so whipped.
My wife loved the new Star Trek and she wouldn't be caught dead going to Twilight. Sucks to be you.
I have a ton of fake information in my profile. I make a point every year of celebrating my "fake Internet birthday". You can still change your name anytime you want. I gave myself the middle name "Hussein" last year for a while. And a number of my friends have changed their names upon getting married.

Recently it was discovered that profanity is linked to the amygdala. Does it affect signing, too?
That is a seriously interesting question. And precisely the sort of distracting thing that keeps me from finishing my dissertation and answering my own language-based research question. Thanks.
I think I read something (in the same article as I read about the endurance hunting you reference) that humans already deal with sleep deprivation better than most of the animal kingdom. It's one of the reasons that endurance hunting works for us but other predators can't do it. I don't think knowledge workers like slashdotters would want to go without sleep long-term. Sleep is when learning happens (moving memory traces from short-term into long-term memory). Even if you could, why would you want to kick your cognition in the teeth like that?
The amount of training that it takes to turn a civilian into someone capable of killing is immense (beyond the capabilities of shipping companies) and only a tiny percentage of the population is capable of making that shift even with the training. Nonlethal weapons that target the pirates' boat rather than the pirates is preferable for many other reasons, but this is the biggest one.
The touch doesn't have vibrate at all and the alleged tablet probably won't either. I wonder if Apple leaves it out for consistency across different devices on the platform.
When they add social sciences to their stable of publications, I'll be submitting to them exclusively and encouraging my students to do the same. I hate what the publishers are doing to my field. (And you haters can shut up; my work is as rigorous as it is possible to be when investigating something as amorphous as language and human behavior.)
Flashy graphics means lots of horsepower wasted on eye candy. This is NOT what I'd expect in a forensic tool, or any professional tool. I can see the need for a colorful, easy to use interface. What I can't see is displaying every wrong search result (honestly, even retrieving the full file set from the database is a waste, let's not even talk about displaying it for a split second only to retrieve the next mismatch and display it). Or wasting valuable screen real estate for nonsensical rubbish. No wonder they need 100" see-through touch screen displays (which I'd love to see rationalized next time the budget comes up).
A lot of that is actually great narrative storytelling through visuals. They are showing the audience what the tool is doing (sorting through a database) without adding words to the script. Just like if a super slow-motion camera were to follow a bullet into a human, you wouldn't really be able to see the internal organs and bones that clearly. It's meant to be impressionistic.

It's out of print, but there are plenty of stores that still have a copy on the shelves. And I agree, it's one of the best Wii games I own.
Here how you do it:
Print out the image.
Put the image in a copy machine UPSIDE DOWN.
The image will come out of the copy machine right side up!

Just because that's what Toyota is focusing on, doesn't mean that's what's actually wrong. They were all about floor mats previously.

Use body heat from meatbags as a power source in case we accidentally block out the sun with pollution?
Wait, no, that's stupid. My mistake
Only Warner Bros executives would think that was a good idea. Networking their brains into a massively parallel processor, however...

The rich get richer
The poor get poorer
How long has this been going on?
Since the last time a batch of rich people were rounded up and shot by the poor people. In the case of China, this means only a few decades.

Microsoft wants their news sites to be read. Murdoch apparently doesn't.
I hadn't really thought about the weirdness of Newscorp and the MS of MSNBC being partners. Cats and dogs living together, mass hysteria.
