I lived in Brazil for 4 years its just barely a 3rd world country... mainly because of the massive difference in class/weath. That said guns and hunting are banned. People out in the country still hunt on occasion to eat (like capybaras which are fairly populous anyway being rodents after all.) And thugs definitely still have guns... and there isn't much law abiding people can do to stop them when they want to cause trouble. Also there aren't enough police since they rich want to hold on to thier money and don't pay for enough of them though taxes for instance 120,000 people in the city I was in and there were only about 100 police and this was even were they train the poliece another similarly sized city only has 10. I have met several of the officers personaly. One was on the hostage squad and thier policy is to hold off and negociate for 2 hours and then shoot EVERYONE then move on to the next situation cause there already is one for sure by then. Unless you have money to prosecute a muderer of you family member might go free in a month or so, due to overflowing prisons.
Brazil also sells 100% alcohol for cars with beefed up fuel systems since decades. About the same time "Flex" fuel cars came out here real Flex fuel cars came out down there you can run them on any mix of Gas or Alcohol. I saw a chevy mini van with a mini gas tank in the engine compartment to aid in cold starting as well even though it rarely gets cold enough in Brazil to need it.
It was probably around 14-15 years for many years society is the only thing preventing that now where in the past it was pretty much required... my great grandma had 4 kids before she was 20.
If your lifespan was only around 40 years you'd have to have kids early in order to live to help them start a family if you were fortunate enough to do that.
So I suppose the best answer is actually a range of possible number of generations. Which would come to about 428-120 generations for childbirth occurring in the range of 14-50. Because even though you can average out and probably get to your numbers its still a bell curve probably a really good one. Interesting isn't it!
I would like to comment as one of those 46%. Something that happened or not 10,000 years ago has zero bearing on science. I either believe it happened that way or didn't you can't scientifically tell if it did or not because that believe is based outside of our laws of physics. I mean if God created physics and time itself for that matter that leaves any study I do on his creation completely unbounded! Belief in creationism is not limiting if anything it is liberating. I personally am not all that convinced about the process of evolution itself but quite frankly that is irrelevant as it has no bearing on the fact that I can understand the minutia of biological processes as observed. I believe in mutation but not evolution... you find lots of cases of adaptation within short periods (pre designed processes) however most if not all mutations are harmful. In other words the odds are stacked against evolution from the very beginning to the very end at each level the next step up is massively improbable. That said BELIEVE WHAT YOU WANT! For crying out loud that is why colonist populated North America to get away from what is essentially thought persecution! They should stick to teaching low level scientifically observable and provable facts. If anything kids would have a BETTER understanding of how things work rather than just arguing and postulating how things might work. Because lets fact it origin theories are controversial and controversy and drama are not conductive to real practical science. Btw I'm a Computer engineer I highly doubt your future robot overlords care if you were created or evolved!:D
Years!? And you haven't tried it again? The themeing has being updated some and if it was years ago you haven't tried the Stack and Tile windowing. Its also an order of magnitude more stable these days. Also https://github.com/looncraz?tab=activity... yeah thats compositing support work happening now the possibiltity rounded windows, real transparancy and improved themeing is probably going to happen pre R1.
Well for the basic chat (Caya + Stack and Tile is pretty sweet) and web surfing its already pretty good it just needs some html5 support to round it out. There are a few decent little games too. Nothing heavy duty but its nice for light usage with the added nicety of having a very responsive media player (nocks the socks off VLC in that regard however has a few missing features).
Also note that QT 4.8 is ported and there will probably be 5.0 soon enough. It is a pretty good port as well considering how well qupzilla works.
You presume that most of the energy is not being directed into a single channel for there is nothing that dictates that the power would have to radiate evenly. Sure its far fecthed but so is this search. In any case wouldn't they be using the power to fuel thier space ships either opening worm holes or generating antimater:P which release power *elsewhere*.
My best friend in the first grade died because she wasn't wearing a helmet and was hit by a small truck in her neighborhood. It wasn't the drivers fault of course since she just went right out in front of them without looking. Helmets are good common sense... just wear it.
then just implement DVI-D over HDMI... so you don't have to bother with the DRM. Check out the wikipedia article I imagine there are some kinks but HDMI is mostly backwards compatible with DVI-D
And I have real world evidence as well.. Pandaboard does DVI-D for the very reasons you mentioned and it works just fine with a couple TV's I have tried that said it was picky one one monitor I tried though it seemed to be a kernel issue as one kernel would boot up on HDMI the other on DVI so had nothing to do with the hardware itself working correctly.
USB on the panaboad is meh... and the SD slot is utter garbage:C I speak from experience that slot ate at least 3 cards two of them were brand new frist was probably because it has trouble with SHDC the other two were regular SD cards I'd RMA the board if it were mine however it was for a school project.
Actually I would expect them to bear strong resemblances as most of thier appearance would rely on genes that have nothing to do with thier survival at that critical point of change.... even after long periods of divergence there should still be lots of similarities. enough that they could be traced directly between one another.
That I think is the greatest obstable to evolution as people try to portray it.... there are no "in betweens"
Or its an example of a common designer... nobody has observed any of these cases enough to know for a fact.
lungfish are pretty interesting too odd that they don't have wings:-)... and that there would have to be separate evolution of components for flying fish... birds lungfish and mammals to all exist... which is highly improbable.
There is the developed eye which is inexplicable which I mentioned earlier. I take similarities to indicate a common designer as that is the simplest explanation it causes all that complexity to collapse into a single idea.
Fossil evidence of human ancestors has been falsified on many occasions mostly by combining fossils from different species or modification with tools there are also honest mistakes as well. An example of an honest mistake would be the brontosaur wasn't even a real dinosaur at all.
By fragile I meant unadaptable.... as in rather small changes in eco system can wipe out entire species rather quickly "ruining" an entire chain of evoltion as it were.
I said in my first post I didn't mind teaching about mutation and adaptation... however I do mind teaching evolution essentially as a religion. I don't believe species evolved from a common ancestor but I can conceive of the development of close relative species and later on those differentiating themselves further however I am still not an "Evolutionist"
There is a difference between "taking time to understand it" and having it shoved down my throat and ridiculed if I believe anything different which is what is experienced in universities and I would even expect in many high schools.
I would argue that I know rather a bit more about evolution than most and probably on par with most/.ers... I wasn't contending that students should brush it aside but as in my cause I shall take it with a grain of salt.
genetic smilarity isn't a good argument for either side from what I understand. You can argue that this species is related to that etc etc... however I can just as easily argue they merely had the same maker.
From what I read of that article there you see adaptation... which I even mentioned myself its still a fish and completely the same otherwise.
There are lots of documented mutations and adaptations. Look back at my original post... I said I didn't mind teachins such things as they do occur however I do mind and find it offensive when people imply that its the only possibility.
I do not believe in full evolution from from a common species.... that doesn't mean I can't understand the concepts of genetic mutation and adaptation.
Funny that you mention dropping rocks as you can observe that in real-time... no one has ever even observed a full evolution from one species to the next. At best we have observed high failure rates of mutations and some adaptability within a species.
I happen to think this... I have seen countless countless cases were fossil evidence has been falsified. And I have never seen a single case of one species evolving into another. Quite the opposite in fact it seems to me that the DNA we are made up of is rather fragile and tends to degenerate rather than improve.
Evolution is not scientific fact... that is a fact. Stop treating it as such. I believe that being religious has no practical impact on my interpretation of the world... though many interpret it differently than myself that does not mean that my interpretation is any less valid if it meets scientific standards even though my interpretation will account for religious ideas.
I personally don't mind teaching of the possibility of species advancement through mutation which is what evolution is. However I do take offence when it is shoved down my throat as the only "reasonable" explanation just because some fanatical secular humanist says so.

What UK use do you speak of I'm from North Carolina and it has that same meaning to me. Could be that is it just plain English.

No it is the pocket edition. Written in C++ it has/had a limited world size also rather small acutally...

Well those sorts of things are hard for many reasons such as the battery being dead, still in gear.. out of fuel etc...

Its close... has alot of posix anyway in addition to the BeAPI.
Without 3G of course.... you have to have 1700 and 2100 on Tmobile for 3G to work at all.
And not just that! "I'll get you, my pretty, and your little cdr too!" ... sigh making Lisp jokes on slashdot what have I done.

AMD/ATI makes game console graphics which are embedded. I believe they did sell off thier "mobile GPU" tech though probably because they saw it as becoming completely obsolete. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATI_Technologies#Console_graphics_products
Its got SATA-II SQUEEEEE!

Sun already did that with HotJava it supported javascript.
