After using IDLE, Emacs, and Elcipse (on install worked decent, a later install sucked), I'm certainly willing to try it. I like Python, it's just hard to find a decent auto-complete (which, given python, is very understandable - heck, you can trivially add/remove member from an object runtime.)
Stupid python tricks: __builtins__.__dict__['fool'] = 1 #`print foo` produces 1 __builtins__.__dict__['some variable']=45 #`print some variable` obviously can't work, but it is still amusing
Odd, I don't consider the 'religious fanatics' to be the ones advocating restraint, they are in fact, advocating the opposite, just in a different area.
Yeah. Except the description in the TFS anyway, what started it all, wasn't draconian copyright law. It was a group trying to make a profit off of someone elses work without compensating them.
The thing is, your company probably wasn't selling it as a standalone item, like the companies mentioned in TFS.
Those lawsuits were basically making a profit off of someone elses work, without compensating that person. Your company may be using as an aid to making their profit, but I'm sure they put a whole lot more effort into it, and the speech isn't the centerpiece or primary portion of the class.
I would probably clip to your pants (trousers if you are British), which would have a wire to clip to other garments, which would in turn clip to your devices.
The human genome can effectively be stored in about 750MB (each base being only 2 bits). The largest genomes are only abut 10x that size. IIRC the FASTA files for it take only about 3GB uncompressed.
Even with specific protein sequences, etc. I think that's a bit excessive the bio-informatics field.
Also, I'm not sure if even the NIH could afford that kind of storage cluster.
Volcanoes also release a lot of Sulfur Dioxide and ash, both of which have the opposite effect, and more-than-counter the CO2 they release. So, sorry, your proof to the contrary does not work.
Lets say the population doubled every generation. that gives us between 2^2400 and 2^6000 people. I think that EASILY covers the population of the earth.
Even at 1%/generation you have >>> 1.01**2400 23512406327.088676
That between 1 in 2^2400 to 1 in 2^4000 nucleotides from either individual. Admittedly that indicates 0 inbreeding, but even cutting those powers down to 10% of their values, that's a lot of room for divergence.
Yes, there is more than enough time for the divergence we see. Also, regarding mitochondrial eve - Adam and Eve had *SONS* their sons wives came from elsewhere, there's no way in hell her mitochondria would be passed on.
Sorry, you knowledge is either lacking in the field of genetics, what the bible states, or both. The individual posting about Noah makes a better case.
Umm, incompetent numbskulls such as yourself can program in any language - Java, C#, Perl, Python, PHP, C, C++...
I've seen idiocies in ALL of them. There are things I hate about Java (and reasons I would never use it for my own projects, unless the only other option was Perl), no doubt about it, but blaming it on people not being able to program... I feel sorry for your boss if you are a developer.
And there is the clinching point - the bible never claims what evolutionary biologists call a bottleneck of two individuals (i.e. what the cheetah went through in the last ice age), rather that if you trace back far enough, everyone can trace back to the same two individuals.
Going back 10 or even 6 thousand years, assuming four generations a century (400 per thousand years), that's 2400 to 4000 generations.
That could account for a lot of diversity, even if *everyone* could trace back to the same one couple somewhere in their lineage (and that couple is not the entirety of that "level" of the tree).
As an owner of a Toshiba Thrive, and several IPad 2s, I'd have to disagree with you completely.
Can you expand the storage by 128GB with an SD card on the IPad[2]? No Can you plug HDMI and USB into the IPad[2]? No Does the IPad[2] have a user replaceable battery if yours dies, and you don't want the downtime of a standard replacement/fix? No Does the IPad[2] have a 1280x800 or better screen? No Can you get an IPad2 for $550, with 16GB of storage? No Does the IPad[2] have more apps? Yes -- Does it's apps contain a wider range of functionality? No Can you get a large range of apps to give you most of the fun/functionality you need on an IPad[2], for free? No Does the IPad[2] have flash? No
So, the advantages ot the IPad[2] are more apps (not necessarily functionally more, just more), and probably less malware (only a problem if you are ADD or a moron when downloading software), no flash, and it helps if your wallet is too heavy. Oh, and you get a device with a logo that shouts "I'm a pretentious prick!"
While my HS, and most in the district, had police officers, they were there for only two purposes - control of drugs and weapons (knives, shivs, guns... not milk). Even if a fight broke out, it was the teachers and the administration that handled it, not the cop.
yeah, using police for minor school infractions like that, that's just stupid. If it weren't for the weapons being a real problem, I'd say it was stupid to have the cop in the schools of the district I went to, but honestly, the teachers and administration shouldn't have to worry about training to deal with that kind of crap.

No, they too want to make a bunch of controlling laws, it's just a different set of laws.

Actually, closer to 7000

I would probably clip to your pants (trousers if you are British), which would have a wire to clip to other garments, which would in turn clip to your devices.
Or use some form of wireless energy transfer.
And right here. The universe is a small place if you are a photon.
So am I. I was just talking about the base genome, not the diffs.
I wouldn't say that, though with slashdot's view of patents, I'm sure the general population will think they are starting off on the wrong foot...

The ark is a valid criticism.

Even at 1%/generation you have
>>> 1.01**2400
23512406327.088676
~3x the worlds population today.
True, but if you are going to find flaws, there are plenty of real flaws to target, without making some up.

And that one does describe a bottleneck event, so you have a point there.

Typo, user of several IPad2s (which I've had to use for business reasons, and not being able to use my own device)
*sigh*

So, post a MyCleanPC topic on the frontpage and slashdot their site?

Yum.
Correct.
Mind you, I've seen GPLed projects that allowed BSD project to back port some code, and not require a license change, but it doesn't always happen.
Hey, I'm not condoning any of that absurdity. I'm just saying there are cases where it is valid. Most cases, it isn't.
Yes, but plenty of those "uninterested" kids become interested later. Why punish those kids because of the ones that won't.
Seriously.
