I think the confusion arises from the Apostoles' Creed. It says that Jesus "descended to hell" (descendit ad inferos), but in that time the word they use for "hell" was borrowed from the graecolatin religion as "the place where the dead go".
The Church of the time and most churches today interpret it as simply as "Jesus died", as opposed to some heretics who claimed that Jesus had never died (which survives in Islam: they believe that Jesus never actually died, so there was no resurrection). Anyhow the definition (and the existance) of hell is disputed among the denominations, so it would be better to skip it entirely, otherwise this is going to be a long and worthless debate.
Yesterday we had the story about artificial lungs implanted on rats, today we have this... I think in a week we'll have a story about a computer system, which will be given command over all military hardware...
I think it's the wrong solution but for another reason: they take the network for granted. In the country where I live there are places where you can travel 300 km and find 2 towns. Anyone living between those towns (native reservations, lonely settlers, etc) don't have an antenna anywhere nearby. I don't want to imagine the state of the cellphone network in the middle of Africa, but I suppose that a place with telephone connection is bound to have some kind of internet access.

The example you give is right for the senate, because the whole point of a senate is to represent a State, Municipality, Province, or some other type of sub-national administrative division.
For the representatives, however, the situation is different. Suppose that in Imagistan there is one representative every 50 inhabitants.
Now suppose the Blue Party gets 49 votes in province A, 49 votes in province B and 40 votes in province C.
They would get no representation in the government. That's where the type of election makes the congress more or less "fair".
The story intrigued me, so I browsed wikipedia searching for the history of the atmosphere and atmospheric methane. I find it very difficult to believe the idea of a chunk of Titan travelling all those years, carrying life and enough reserves of methane for the trip. And since methane used to be much more abundant in the atmosphere, isn't it possible that very old, earthy life forms lived off methane?
Now my question is, was this bird really extinct 40k years ago? Or is it an estimation? Because, maybe, they could have lived on longer than they thought.
The summary is really, really misleading. I really wanted to know about this "intelligence density", and which citieas hosted the biggest proportion of graduates every 1000 people. I wanted to compare Bologna with Oxford, Paris, Rome, Boston...
But then I realised this study was limited to a single country.
If he is obsessed with games, then you don't have to teach him something he considers useful. Just tell him that coding a linked list will give him 200 exp points.
I don't think the open-source community focused on this stuff in the same way. In some sense, you only hit what you aim at. What was the goal of the Linux community--to replace Windows? One can imagine higher aspirations. I think the thing is that open source has been great for hobbyists to get involved, and hobbyists in the sense of the word as somebody who really loves it. That's not a negative thing at all.
It's just not clear how it organizes a sustained and creative activity. Google is using this approach with Android. It's open source, but the money comes from someplace else. More broadly, how do people make a living and do something really creative? I think they have to organize it as a business. I'm all for sharing, but I recognize the truly great things may not come from that environment.
Open source generally means the developers need to work somewhere else for a living, and therefore the free project needs more developers than a funded project. Only a few are hired by companies and in the end they produce most of the code. (No news here, for example: Linux). Android is a very bad example: they forked linux and made their own cathedral. He can't generalize with it. Linux, KDE, and Firefox, are innovative and "truly great".
In addition to creating a single RDS release, the robotics group is also making the source code of selected program samples and other modules available online, hoping to improve collaboration among users. In particular, Microsoft wants to entice the growing community of hobbyists, do-it-yourselfers, and weekend robot builders.
They are releasing code. Which is worth mentioning in the summary, since we are talking about Microsoft. Obviously they are not opening the whole thing, because after they extend, they want to make money, but still it is interesting.
Look, I'm from Argentina. I'll tell you what, nobody is going to enforce it in this case. This has not yet arrived to mainstream news, but if it does everyone will laugh at it, and nothing else. Our concept of plagiarism is radically different from what I read about the United States. Consider that our local social networking site is a "linksharing" web, where users post about almost any topic. (Mainly: megaupload links).
In 1949 one of the several nazi leaders that fled to Argentina claimed to have achieved nuclear fussion. The president, a fascist who welcomed Mengele and Eichman, was not stupid, and a couple of months later he called a group of argentinian scientists back from europe to open an investigation, which led to the end of the project and the beginning of real atomic research.
Wait for GNOME 3. Although you won't be able to use GNOME 3 + compiz anytime soon, there are manypreview videos of the new GNOME that I find really interesting. (The second one is annotated in some slavic language but it shows many aspects of the menu and other interfaces)
You can overflow your buffers, dereference null pointers and anything you want. But, hey, if you are a good programmer you know how to avoid them. And if you are not a good programmer then it does not matter what language you use.
I think that in average programs written in haskell (exempli gratia) tend to be more secure because it takes a better programmer to write them than a quick and dirty VB application.

What your Parent meant is that when morality and ethics are left aside you end up with Mengele.
