"With the industrial revolution, more jobs required long hours away from home, and women (esp. those with children) were largely excluded. "
What about the sweat shops of the early industrial revolution? They employed, among the lower classes, many women of child-bearing age.
It's not the pill. It's the shift from strength-based criteria, which men have a tendency to win, to skills and thought based criteria; along with a more egalitarian view of the world that excess has allowed us, that have allowed the shift towards as complete-as-possible equality.
I'm sure I'm missing plenty, but I doubt even a person with more complete knowledge of human civilization would agree that the pill is so much more responsible. Would the pill have even existed if it wasn't for the equality shift?
"I could say that water has the property of being able to carry my spirit to the star Vega in less than two minutes, but it wouldn't be worthy to research that since an offhand glance shows that it could be readily disproven (we know water can't do this)."
Maybe not to your spirit, but I know for a fact that water can do this for *my* spirit. Disprove that!
I lived for six months in China 8 years ago. I recall reading in an English language newspaper of a person who was executed for stealing about $40,000 more than this person was executed for.
China does not like crimes of this sort. Capital punishment applies to many more crimes than in other countries. I doubt the "hacking" offence had any bearing on the severity of the punishment.
I'm not; but I'm curious as to whether anyone's tried to concentrate the midichlorians of others into themself (within the fictional context), genetic engineering, etc....
The Independence day virus has at least some scientific credibility, as they had a ship (presumably, since the aliens didn't seem to alter their hardware/software while in transit) with the aliens tech to study for 50 years. Still highly unlikely (as they couldn't figure out how to power it up, but possible.
I'd like to see this done to living people first of all. Comparing the output of the program and the actual person is the only way to see how well this works. Otherwise, and even in any case, it's just as bad as what soul channelers and the like do, except in this case, the people know they're not really talking to the dead person. Would such a device be used by the charlatans?
I would assume that it'd only be fair use if you only used a function or two of the library. Otherwise, you'd be using such a large portion of the library that it'd bbe equivalent to quoting entire chapters of a book.
Yes, but is this likely to do much within the next few years, or the next twenty? Most of the golden and silver aged computing pioneers didn't (monetarily) benefit from the boom.
How manyof that packed room were bio students who aren't taking third year chem because it's not necessary? How many were cs, business, etc... who took it because they needed some science credits?
What about spoofed ip's too? If anyone could spoof an ip, it'd be a ministry devoted to the net. Why wouldn't they spoof a different ip? Couldn't some else have spoofed their's?

I know that, but that wasn't what the original poster claimed. The original poster stated that an undisprovable was in fact *easily* disprovable.

Wouldn't that be one of the variables covered by the "(or about)" phrase?

"Foreigners just don't do it often in Americans' faces."
That's good.
In this nation, at least, gods have no temporal authority. If Yahweh, or any other god(dess) hasn't applied for the patent, tough beans.
From what you quoted, I took it to mean that several OEM's are sticking with intel's 32-bit line.
How is it that some *younger* people can't use a computer, while others can easily network their home?
"but when I pick up on one error I start to wonder who many others exist that I'm not seeing."
hmmm?
Please use the entire word: Earthquake. I initially wondered why id software liked Taiwan so much.
Some of the best engineers are male, as well.
What about politicians, or their friends, manipulating the market. If a politician played it right, he could own himself or his opponents.
5 billion, not eight billion. The oldest rocks we can find have been dated within about half a billion years afterward.

Does anyone know if SGI sells their cases without any hardware in them?

What percentage of web sites, specifically ones that would have been affected by the CDA, are US sites? This might explain it.
I'm sure he probably already knows this. I think it unlikely that he doesn't have another, younger, computer somewhere.
Aren't the chips used in nuke plants going to be radiation hard? RH chips are very expensive, they aren't something you'd buy off the shelf.
