I mean think of it like this: Would it really matter if a society like 18th century Europe gave any info to a foe as advanced as the current US military?
This is understating the issue greatly. Really, it would be more similar to a tribe of cavemen doing battle with a modern army. Any civilization capable of mounting an invasion over interstellar distances would likely be many thousand years more advanced in technology.
Are you coddling terrorists by making statements like that? And you probably don't like democracy as well. I think we might have to have your phone line wiretapped.
Hm... I think I've seen something like that somewhere:)
Unfortunately none of that stuff works properly... The camera is crap the MP3/cell player is inconvenient and they give you hard time on a plane if it's also a cell phone, etc.
I carry a lot of crap when I travel. Laptop, laptop charger, spare laptop battery, cell phone, cell phone charger, camera, camera charger, MP3 player, you get the idea. Plugging all of that in a hotel room is a pain. I would gladly pay $10 extra for getting rid of some of that mess.

Very simple -- if you are travelling, you can recharge them from your notebook when it is plugged in. You don't have to carry an extra charger with you.
Intel's marketshare has just dropped by 2-3% and they are certainly extremely worried about it. Intel's huge market cap needs correspondingly huge profits and Intel's profits came below expectations because of AMD.
Perhaps you should read the judgement and the ruling. What was ruled inconstitutional was the policy of teaching ID as a scientific alternative to evolution. Even under the most broad interpretation imaginable it is not the same as banning teaching ID.
I don't think your implication is correct. The fact that the _policy_ of teaching ID is unconstitutional does not imply that teaching it as an alternative to evolution by an individual teacher is unconstitutional.
But even if you take that very broad interpretation the ruling says nothing about teaching it as long as it is not presented as a scientific alternative to evolution.
Therefore the claim that the ruling bans teaching of ID is erroneous even under the broadest interpretation.
The ruling was a little more narrow, concerning a specific ID policy of the board. Taken broadly, perhaps it may be interpreted that ID should not be presented as a scientific alternative evolution as you suggest. However teachers are certainly still allowed to discuss it in class.
Ironic? More moronic. Why don't you read the judgement:
1. A declaratory judgment is hereby issued in favor of Plaintiffs pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 2201, 2202, and 42 U.S.C. 1983 such that Defendants' ID Policy violates the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States and Art. I, 3 of the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. 2. Pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 65, Defendants are permanently enjoined from maintaining the ID Policy in any school within the Dover Area School District.
Just because something is random, does not mean it is unpredictable. Suppose I toss a coin 10^6 times. Then I can pretty confidently say that the fraction of heads is going to be between 49.9% and 50.1%. Each toss is random but the result is reasonably predictable.

Actually I don't. I need an AAA battery for my headphones though. If it were USB rechargeable,
that would be convenient.

which despite my total lack of sexual interest in, could still land me in prison, just for having viewed them on my computer.
What if you had sexual interest in the images, would it be ok to put you in jail for viewing them on
your computer?
Actually, you can neither prove nor disprove a theory with observations.
You observations are just making a theory more or less likely to hold.
What does it mean to disprove a theory, in any case? Does special general relativity disprove Newton's theory?
I don't know about BSD kernels but popcorn comes out fine.

The problem with understanding relativity is that, unlike saying that Einstein was a genius, it is a not a simple thing to do.
Please hand me over a few more of those market shares. Intel or Amd -- does not really matter.

The announcement comes in the same week that a US court banned the teaching of intelligent design in classrooms.
The court did not ban the teaching of the ID, it ruled that the teachers
cannot be forced to do that.
