Exactly.
Just because it wasn't evolutionary adaptive at the time doesn't mean it isn't helpful now. Our environment has changed quite a bit since we our genetics (supposedly) found it more adaptive to turn the trait off. And if we can activate it in the right situation, we're set.
If the blogger was really suave, he'd reveal his identity to the lawyer and then ask for the 10k. What would they do then? Seems like they'd come out looking like fools.
Is this like and adult open source version of lego mindstorm?
I remember loving that as a kid, never really figured out how to make it do anything, though....
Yeah, that's my college there. My RA got a notice for infringement so his internet was shut off. He's in a room by himself, so he maybe be screwed.
UO is a very progressive school in a liberal town, it's great to hear they're standing up for students. From the article it doesn't sound like they're protecting any of our rights, just complaining that it's difficult for them... Oh well, either way it protects the students.
If it's ruined by vandals with agendas, you'd be weeding everyone else out but them and the people who really care about wikipedia, which may do more harm then good.
Age doesn't matter, just knowledge and the want to be fair.
I think a system like/. where you could peer rank contributors, or articles so there is an agreed upon standard. Possibly make popular articles un-editable unless your ranked high enough.
Nah, after countries industrialize population size basically stagnate, take Europe and Japan as an example.
Even the US is only increasing in population because of immigration. The world can hold another 12 billion people or so, and by then the worlds population will have leveled off.
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_population it's mentioned in there, sorry for not getting a more specific reference)
And computers are way out pacing space technologies in terms of research and improvement. By the time we can colonize other places there may be no need for humans to be there.
