Agreed.
And if some organism can travel at this capacity to discover earth, than they are capable of observing other organisms on other inhabited planets. Who says they would even stop by our planet to say hello? Earth would have to be roughly in the top 10% of interesting planets to explore.
So, why do people worry about their online visibitlity where you can be a million different people, when everyone and their dog knows your offline person and what it is doing?
Well here in Fat-Lazy-America, people like to sit around and spy on people from the comfort of their computer. No American in their right mind would physically spy on someone, they might get into shape and live longer.
True. But even if you type looking at the keyboard, you can quickly look up and see what your searches are so far and if you spelled anything wrong. Than you can easily backspace and correct. This is also helpful when you are searching for something but you do not know what the keywords are. I think users will see after using instant search for a while, it is a bit faster.
One thing that doesn't work is the site: feature. If you start to specify site:, instant search is turned and wants you to submit your search...even after a valid domain is typed.
...when did it become such a problem? Oh, right - when schools started replacing c with Java
AGREED!
I missed out on C by a couple of years and Java is my first language. Because of various blogs, curiosity and/. I always try and think in terms of memory and the stack.
Oh, and becoming proficient in C is on my todo list
Yes, I agree with that, but only in terms of evolutionary biology.
But if I had to choose between great genetics or great culture I would choose culture.
Well put.
It doesn't have to do with what country someone is from or the color of their skin. Everything is about culture and our environment. We are all humans and we are shaped by our environment. Genetics might play a small role in the beginning and throughout someones life, but environment is the big picture.
Then neither should macro-evolution. Many of it's claims have been falsified, yet it's still taught.
WRONG! Read the comments above again.
jridley stated, "Science progresses when previous theories are shown to be incorrect or incomplete, and are revised or replaced."
If a claim has been falsified (you need to cite one), then it has been revised, changed, modified, etc. That is the idea here. If science is wrong, it will admit it and continue to explore what is correct.
I always thought that a healthy "free market" is where the consumers drive the competition with their vote to buy or not to buy a product. Take the cell phone industry for example.
So where does that put someone who wants to download unlimited media at under $20 a month, drink a beer on Sunday after mowing the lawn, smoke a joint when on vacation, go to a gay friends wedding, and stop getting raped on my income taxes?
...Walk down the street and pick out a hundred random people and ask them if they are interested in programming open source. They don't even say "if you are interested in free open source software" they say "open source programming." Do you think you'd even find one person interested in actually programming open source?
And even pick out 100 random programmers and how many would answer yes?
I'm a poor Java guy that will write an Ant script to run a build that inside of it has a compile task (subset). We (past two companies I worked at) do not use compile and build interchangeably.
Anyway, from your original comment, my reply was a sad attempt at humor, not a personal attack on you personally. I think most/. comments are on the comments, not the person.
Actually, with police around, people here in Chicago are still getting killed. I'd much rather have an automatic to defend myself.
Fire....ummm, they will never get there in time to save my home or family. I have smoke detectors and fire insurance.
Court system. Coruption. I served as a juror for a drunk and driving case. The jury just wanted to go home, and not lose another day of pay. He clearly deserved a DUI, but we found him not guilty because the state attorney did a terrible job of finding him 'guilty without reasonable doubt'.
I'd much rather keep my tax dollars and fend for myself.

Oops, they really got you strung tight over there. Are't you using an IDE like Eclipse? It compiles in real-time so to speak. Unless you meant to say build.
I see both sides of the argument. I do not Twitter and only Facebook-ed in college. I am busy with two young children and a house that needs work, so I guess I do not have a choice.
If I was single, I would probably still be on Facebook, but would NOT Twitter since my two best friends do not Twitter.

I would like my government to be smart economists so that they can solve problems. Why would anyone want anything else?
Yes, that is the one I always remember
Agreed.

its simply evolution

Libertarian of course.

And it isn't so much bashing, but more like making fun of.
I live in Chicago and had two friends go to DePaul. One was in an accelerated program that was a joke to say the most. It is all about MONEY.
Point well taken.
But I will play the numbers and bet that my house or my neighbors house will never start on fire.

This is also where my tax dollars are going? I have yet to find something good out of paying taxes.
The point is eating less meat, not cutting meat out entirely.
...There's a slight difference.
Not that much...only a few zeros

You're an idiot!
Everyone knows that Ohio is a political myth
Why not Mag Lev?
