He did have some bizarre stuff in Homecoming about a supposed biological/developmental explanation for homosexuality, though I don't think too much should be read into that.
The original definition of Web 2.0 in my view was just asynchronous data transfer - so you don't need to reload the whole page to get more information.
Having worked on the Obama campaign, mostly with the data end, I have to say they did a really good job. There are a few things that could have been improved, sure, but overall the system scaled very well until the last few days when the load became just ridiculous. Even then, it only displayed minor misbehavior - it worked just as quickly as before. The vast majority of volunteers have read/limited write access to volunteer and voter lists. I don't believe I had access to any donor information. The fact is, below the upper echelons, a data leak is really, really insignificant, because the data is essentially publicly available anyway. We got all the starting information for our database from the DNC, which got it from voter rolls. I'm assuming here they don't store credit card numbers from donations, etc.
It's pretty simple in my view. Convicted felons don't get elected. Stevens' race was already slipping out of his grasp, and this only solidifies a Begich win.
Optical scan machines or touch screen with voter-verified paper trail (i.e. receipt that you drop into a bucket). Choose a random sample of let's say 200 ballots from each polling place; if they don't match the official totals by say five percent, recount the entire polling place by hand. This will happen occasionally by chance, but it won't be that often. Combine the results of this sampling for each congressional district and perform the same check (with a lower margin of error). Again, if it doesn't match, do a hand-recount.
Putting CO2 into the oceans has the simple effect of forming carbonic acid (CO2+H2OH2CO3) which increases the acidity of the oceans. This is obviously a bad thing as even small changes in pH can really screw up the oceans.
Teaching of creationism as a theory isn't forcing a specific state religion on the people.
There could potentially be a religion without creationism as a basis. Therefore, yes, you are establishing a state religion. And let's stop pretending that when one talks about creationism it isn't in the standard Judeo-Christian sense. "Creationism" refers to the Old Testament definition.
It is teaching the theory that some people (the majority of the people on the planet according to census results of who claims a religion that believes in a Creator) believe that there was a Creator.
This is history or anthropology or comparative religions but NOT science. Anything that is not falsifiable should not be in a science curriculum. Spare it for history class. A theory that many people believe this is first of all patently obvious and second of all does not belong in a biology class. It is a history thesis or an interesting proposition to consider sociologically, not a biological theory.
No.
Stem cell research has absolutely nothing to do with abortions. The embryos come from those which were not used in IVF procedures. The alternative is to simply discard these embryos.
Bush's solution is to have surrogate mothers "adopt" these embryos to prevent any from being discarded, which is obviously not viable on the scale needed.

And I'm curious what this "club" is that you have to be a member of.
As to the oil, it's very simple. Drilling for more oil is at best a stopgap measure and at worst simply increases demand as prices slightly dip. We need to invest in nuclear, solar, wind, and other alternative energy (NOT food-based ethanol).
Have you ever worked with Apple's APIs? They have added an absolutely HUGE amount to the original NextStep platform.

There's free breakfast and (I think) dinner. I spent a few days at the Googleplex last month, and there is free food everywhere as well as ping pong tables, pinball machines, etc. At night they often hold meetings of area interest groups. There are many, many other benefits.
This is pretty simple math; the weight increases with the cube of the scaling factor as you scale up a model, yet the strength of the materials used only increases with the square of the scaling factor since it depends on the area of the cross section of the member.
I tried searching for "unrealed tutorial." Google gave me links to tutorials for UnrealEd. Cuil did not. That's not going to give me a good impression.

Some otherwise smart people (including my parents) completely seize up when confronted with new technology, ignoring directions and reason.

You know as well as I do...govt's always want more.
Slashdot commenters always make broad, sweeping generalizations.
You can recount electronic votes, as long as the machine prints out a receipt that you verify and drop into a receptacle.
My optimal system for the US race:
Optical scan machines or touch screen with voter-verified paper trail (i.e. receipt that you drop into a bucket).

It's simple supply and demand. Top-quality athletes have a much smaller supply than teachers.

It was patented in the '20s but we have no evidence that it was ever built. The first transistor at Bell Labs used germanium.

It is actually a long-running joke on the Wizards website. Supposedly it's a brain in a vat that actually runs everything.
