There's been speculation that North Korea would do something on April 15th. Some people are pointing to the Boston Marathon bombing, but perhaps this is it.
Oh, so you say "But the TFS says that they were first noticed in 2011....."
When did Kim Jong Un come to power? Yes, 2011. Perhaps they've now activated a massive communist snailnet in the US.
We'll get to see the state of the art at LeMans this year (in July). The GreenGT H2 car will be the first hydrogen fuel cell car to participate in the 24 hour race.
Well, I think Facebook showed that for college students, starting out on campus is a perfect incubator. It's easier to be relevant, you can easily mingle with the population to gauge the reaction, to figure out what works and what doesn't. Unlike facebook, these guys have already monetized their service. It seems as though they're in a pretty good position.
I didn't say anything about Christianity (nor did Einstein).
Yes, there is a middle ground. You can simply admit that you don't know. But you seem quite invested in proving yourself right concerning something that is essentially unknowable to us at this point in time.
When the idea of atoms were first postulated, proof of their existence would've been next to impossible. Yet, while reality appears to differ somewhat that original idea, it was close enough that we still use the name. You wouldn't have advocated putting the thought out of our minds back then would you?
Note, in your quote, that he refers to a "Personal God".
"I believe in Spinoza's God who reveals himself in the orderly harmony of what exists, not in a God who concerns himself with fates and actions of human beings."
""In view of such harmony in the cosmos which I, with my limited human mind, am able to recognize, there are yet people who say there is no God. But what really makes me angry is that they quote me for the support of such views.""
I don't think I'd call Albert Einstein psychotic for believing in God. I guess that's the whole point here. Baker is simply suggesting that we not rush to this extreme when encountering someone who expresses some religious beliefs.
I don't think I'd need to let you know. It would likely be headline news. Just like it would be if someone can prove that a new parallel universe is created every time a random event is observed. I'm not holding my breath for that one either.
We just keep moving the goal posts. The big bang created many gods, but what created the big bang? God? And what created God? A big bang? Or maybe the big bang created aliens who created us. And those aliens might worship the God that created the big bang.
Given the impossible silliness of the entire endeavour, I'm not going to waste any time singling out any hypothesis until it looks as though they may be coming for my freedom.
Belief without evidence could also be called a hypothesis. God may well be discoverable, but perhaps he chooses not to be discovered by puny organisms such as ourselves.
I don't have a Lord or Saviour (not yet, at least), so hugging is not in the cards. I'm also not going to spend a lot of time wistfully imagining infinite dimensions. Whatever we may discover in the future will be of great interest to me - whether it agrees with theists or atheists.
Hear, hear. The GP seems to be compelled to expend quite a bit of energy trying to prove that in no way can religion ever be anything but bad. Perhaps someday science will lead us to profound answers that point to a true religion. But some will keep kicking and screaming.
They said they worked out that on their track the car would be out of juice after 55 miles (or whatever). That was the point. After that they'd have to put it away. They never drive cars of any type into their garage. They're always pushed in. This was simply demonstrating that without going through the unnecessary step of actually running it out.
They didn't have a fast charger. So that wasn't an option. They did note that they could charge it but it would take something like 16 hours with their outlets.

"but but but but... Isamofacists!"
Mark my words. We'll get rid rid of this SQL plague and ISAM will again rule the world.

Yes, because getting to a black hole will take a long time.

Was following Snooki not a founding ideal of the dynabooks? Ooops, sorry.
Well, first you'd need a budget.
It might be murder. In my state, if someone dies as a result if a crime being committed (say, arson) the perpetrator can be charged with murder.
Yes.
I think it's just a response to China; "Nice firewall you got there. It sure would be a shame if something happened to it...."
That is all.

They never said that it ran out of power. They said that it *would*.
Tesla doesn't dispute that fact.
It was Tesla that told them it would run out in 55 miles. Why would they need to prove their honesty?
The Stig.
And people who buy cars because they're fast.
Why?
