Awesome, now we have a great tool to accuse people with. How can anything with an accuracy of 78% be worth using? On a grading scale it's a C+. How many innocent people (22%) will be caught up in this mess? If the government is trying to create a rebellion by the people, then this is a perfect method.
How about hiring intelligent guards? Or people with common sense?
If we spent 10% of what we spend on this kind of crap on actually solving the real problems we face, then we might actually get somewhere. But as long as we live in this ultra-paranoid world filled full of invisable terrorists then we'll never get the chance to overcome the real problems. What a shame and what a waste.
The first 4 pages are a nice look at the history of Haskell (which I knew nothing about). The rest of the article gets a little technical for someone with no experience or real world understanding of it.
When I saw the size of the article it was a little intimidating, but there is a wealth of information in it and by the end I found myself googling for more.
You are far too correct. There may be merit in the lawsuit (I didn't read the details) but when dealing with the Government at this level almost anything can become a state secret. Plus this administration (and probably all of them that follow) doesn't seem to care much for the law.
Even if the democrats win the whitehouse it is doubtful that congress will allow any lawsuit like this to proceed.
The solution is to stop electing people who have no reguard for what the laws of this country are founded on. We fought a revolution from Tyrants once and unless there is change I fear we'll find ourselves fighting another one before my child is grown.
my fingers are faster than my brain, then again most things are.
There is a lot more than just javascript on their site, but I use them just for the javascript (here's a link to the actual page I use http://irt.org/script/script.htm)
Look through the whole site, you might find some other areas I've not seen. They've been around for a long time and the content always seems consistent in the areas I frequent.
For years I have fallen back on http://itr.org/ for their wonderful Javascript F.A.Q.s
For asp I have fallen on the habit of going to google, typing the object name and 'asp', from there I find http://w3schools.com/ and http://4guysfromrolla.com/ to have the best code samples and descriptions of use. However, I hate navigating both of them so Google has become my default doorway into them.
Can I now change Yahoo back to the way it was about seven or eight years ago, back when I liked it? Then again I have better things to spend my time on than fixing Yahoo's mistake.
Jerry, what happened? You dissed Google and now you regret it. I bet he wishes he had a backrub...
I invest heavily and an asshole is someone who can't find the humor in life. Yes, I laughed. HARD. FYI - UAL has been bailed out by the government so many times that I'm suprised that there is anyone STUPID enough to invest in them for more than just Day Trading. If you're investing in Airlines then you deserve what you get. If they're a solid company then the stock will rebound. Personally I took advantage of the lower value and bought in at a little over $7 and sold at just under $8. I made a profit because I understand the market and how it works, if anyone lost any actual money it's because they got cold feet and abandoned their investment at the first hint there might be an issue. Yes, I made money while less intelligent people lost money (assuming they sold their stock, if they were smart they would have held on until it rebounded and corrected itself). If that makes me an asshole then while my face with Charmin 'cause that's what I am. hardy har har.
That is the saddest thing I have ever read. I am part of the universe and I have notions and whims. To imply the universe does not is too not understand what the universe is. Yes, the Universe just is and it is conscious in a billion ways that you do not yet understand.
I disagree. Mass in relation to our position in space never changes, but over time it most certainly does. An object today is not the same as it was 2 seconds ago in relation to the timeframe. In relation to the objects around it nothing appears to change. But if time travel was possible and you took an object back in time, I assure you there would be differences in Mass. I know you disagree, most of you will, but our misunderstanding of what Mass is and how it relate through time is a barrier few understand.
I'm sorry, but there is plenty of evidence that our understanding of what Mass is has little relavence to reality. Obviously if we can' account for a majority of the mass in the universe then it is plain that we do not understand mass.
I believe very strongly that our misunderstanding of mass and the search for the Higgs particle will show that the basis for much of our physics has been skewed by our forth dimensional view of the universe.
Your analogy with the honeycombs makes perfect sense if the universe was only forth dimensional, but it isn't. The are seven definate dimensions of measurement for the universe (a dimension is a measurement not a wormhole to CandyLand). A two dimensional object also exists 3rd dimensionally and forth dimensionally (5th, 6th and 7th as well).
Let's look at the fifth dimension of logical measurement. If the forth dimension is a measurement of movement of an object, then the fifth measurement would be to define the object from the time it exists forth dimensionally to where it ends forth dimensionally. It is the entire scope of the objects existance through time. Think of it as a blurry photo that captures the movement of not just a split second, but of the entire existance of the particle. On an ultra micro scale (quantum) these create the basis of what is known as string threoy.
Let us not mistake outselves by believing we understand Mass, if we did then that big super collider wouldn't be spinning. We won't uncover the secrets of Mass until we get our physics and our thinking beyond the forth dimension.
Jesus had nothing to do with the ten commandments. Those were given to the Jews exclusively. Gentiles are bound by the Seven Laws of Noah, not the ten commandments. The other items you mentioned are also part of the Mitzvah (the 613 laws God passed down).
You have mistaken and combined several beliefs and then referred to the 'Bibilically ignorant followers".
It appears the ignorance is in your own understanding. Even though Christianity has a strong Judeo root, it is not Judism and their is a large difference in the two.
137:5-9 What we love, we love to think of. Those that rejoice in God, for his sake make Jerusalem their joy. They stedfastly resolved to keep up this affection. When suffering, we should recollect with godly sorrow our forfeited mercies, and our sins by which we lost them. If temporal advantages ever render a profession, the worst calamity has befallen him. Far be it from us to avenge ourselves; we will leave it to Him who has said, Vengeance is mine. Those that are glad at calamities, especially at the calamities of Jerusalem, shall not go unpunished. We cannot pray for promised success to the church of God without looking to, though we do not utter a prayer for, the ruin of her enemies. But let us call to mind to whose grace and finished salvation alone it is, that we have any hopes of being brought home to the heavenly Jerusalem.
Do we know so little about what God is? I am definately not a creationist, but I do have very firm beliefs that I feel are fully backed up by science.
God is the Universe, sentient or not, it contains you, me and everything else. We are all part of the whole.
No invisable man, no pink unicorn. God is right in front of your eyes in everything you see. God is not a man, nor should we imprint our humanity on something that is most definately not human, but so much more.
As for Carbon dating, I have never believed it to be accurate, measuring isotopes based on a common rate of decay over thousands and millions of years sounds scientifically strong. But I have a suspicion that there is a variable factor involved in the decay rate that physics has overlooked. Mass is getting smaller as time progresses. Astronomers know this and mention it often, but they tend to say things like 'The Universe is getting bigger' or 'Galaxies are moving away from each other as the space between them grows'...ie. mass is getting smaller. This isn't a wild theory, this is backed up by every telescope pointed at the sky. We know the distance between Galactic objects is increasing, is space getting larger or are we getting smaller? We're getting smaller and I'm pretty sure we need to make adjustments to a lot of our physics to take this into account, especially when dealing with objects over a great length of time.
When the verdict was announced in court, there was a big puff of smoke. I notice most of the media forgot to mention that part. You'd think someone would have pointed out that smoking in a public building isn't polite...
It won't be worth anything without the following link. In fact this one link could be the entire Textbook.

Of course this would create an entire generation of sarcastic, dark humored scientists who all know everything leads to 42.
I am very fortunate to live in Butler Missouri, Robert Heinlein's hometown. Once upon a time Butler was known as 'The Electric City" because it was the first City west of the Mississippi to be fully wired for Electricity. Sadly this little town has lost its technical edge, but Heinlein is still hailed as a local hero.
I wonder how much of an effect growing up in 'The Electric City" had on him and his writting and what affect he himself had on the community and its total aversion to technology (it's very much 1980 here in Butler).
In fact when I moved here I felt like a stranger in a strange land...
We can use all the leftover batteries to finish building the electric fence between the US and Mexico. Just imagine, a fence that keeps going and going (insert Pink Bunny with drum here).
If there is any truth to this then it is a sad sad day. This is not the kind of situation those laws were enacted for. Didn't the Government learn anything from breaking up AT&T?
I suggest we file an Anti-Trust suit against the Federal Government and insist on breaking it up into 50 different Sovereign States with their own Gover.....
For the record we here in the USA equally screw all nations, usually with the help of the puppet governments we install.
To imply that we only screw the UK is an insult, we've spent the last 8 years trying to prove to the world that we'll screw anybody for any reason possible.
I insist that when discussing how the US screws other countries you please remember that we would never limit this activiy to just the UK. We're just like a 16 year old boy, we'll screw anybody. To imply otherwise is simply barbaric and an insult to our leaders and everything they send others to die in their place for.
