The truth is, we weren't "built" to live beyond the age needed to produce successful offspring. It is just wrong to assume that all the diseases adults get, including depression, could be cured by operating our bodies the way they were "designed." After our early twenties, our bodies are running in "garbage in, garbage out" mode because we weren't "designed" to live past those ages.
Someone who is convinced that evolution, rather than superstition, explains the current state of life on Earth is probably someone who is convinced that that scientific method is the best way for finding truth. People who value the scientific method can be called scientists even if research is not their primary occupatoins.
Christians do the new and old books. Jews just do the old ones. Someone who does both, with any nonzero distributions, is a Christian.
In my years with the Lutheran (ELCA) church, the old books were mostly ignored. All of the "evil hateful god" stuff was left out of all teachings. I assume this was because no independantly minded, morally concious person could honestly say "I'm a christian" after realizing that entials more than just the hippy, get-along new testement stuff.
Wow... you wrote all those words without even attempting to support the idea that "the Iraq war protects the freedoms of Americans." You rambled about US citizens have a lot of freedom. You asserted that military action, in general, was needed to make it this way. You used words like "overall." But the only military action anyone mentioned was the one in Iraq, about which you said absolutely nothing. Thanks for playing the internet: insert coins to continue.
While the GP was being a major jerk by posting that, your contention that military action in Iraq preserves the rights of Americans is higly pretentious. You don't even know if the GP was an American.
Hm, after consulting a dictionary, it looks like average is sometimes used to mean median. But most books define it as mean.
Of course, even if it does mean "mean," that doesn't mean half of the people would be worse. there could be multiple people that are the mean. In this case, less than half would be below. But now I'm being really pedantic.
It seems like your area is different than the rest of the US. In the midwest, the only times I encounter mexican immigrants (legal or not) are in food service or other low-skill occupations. I've been to socal. There are a lot more mexican immigrants and so there is more spread in terms of job skill level. But the average still tended toward the low end of the skill spectrum. You obviously have more experience with socal than I do, though.
I came from a rather large high school in the US. We didn't have any courses in economics available to us. What is "high school level economics?" Or did I just miss out?
There is no consensus on what IQ scores measure? That's wrong. It is clear that IQ correlates strongly with financial and social success (social being likelyhood of getting divorced, etc.). It may be hard to define "intelligence," but IQ is certainly a meaningful measurement of the likelihood of success.
You CAN reduce the risk posed by a human problem by using a technological solution. Computer scientists want to see everything as black and white, 1 or 0. The fact is, you can't 100% eliminate a security risk, but you can reduce the risk with both human and technological means.
Actually, there is a way around this. Copyright law states that the guy who had is writing stolen is owed $150,000 per incident. For online content, that means $150,000 PER HIT. Hell, you don't even need a lawyer threaten to sue for xBillion dollars and quote the law. They will settle right away, I imagine.
Lots of things are considred "AI." For example, the ability to play chess is AI. AI need does NOT necessarily have to behave like a human would. In fact, most researchers would prefer a more rational AI than a more human one. The person who wrote this article obviously doesn't know what AI is, because he thinks the Hollywood definition is meaningful.
That's an interesting legal opinion. I've only ever heard it on slashdot, though. Do you have any specific legal documents you can point to which indicate that this is true? You state it like it is a legally established fact.
Yeah, and it sent messages over UDP with NO authentication. You could send a message from anybody to anybody. Fun stuff. And it told you the IPs of everyone on your list.
You are what is called an "anarchist." No government can exist without taxes of SOME sort.
Also, your belief that you must do what god commands you is frightening. How do you know it is a real, intelligent, invisible creature that is talking to you and not just a mental illness? There are some very REAL mental illnesses that cause people to hear voices. What do you do if you are commanded to hurt others?

Look above you. Did you see that? It wasn't a meteor--it was the joke.

Does anyone know what the lyrics to the Champ's song, "Tequila," are? I have a feeling a lot of people are going to be sued.

You know how dumb the average person is with statistics? Think how half the population is even worse.
[you used the word "average." i don't think it means what you think it means.]

You aren't very good at math, are you?
Also, look up the difference between average and median.

It is certainly a leap of logic to say that "athieism" caused what you calimed it caused. A huge leap, actually.
It is ridiculous to make income off of non-continuing work? I hope you don't have a 401k. Or any other type of investment. Geeze, get in touch.
"circa" is used with dates, not the number of desktops. he used it wrong. look it up.
Criminal. Civil. STFU until you learn the difference.

circa 150? meaning circulation 150? why were your desktops circulating?
