first of all.. let me just say that NO.. i am NOT wearing a tin foil hat.. However...
what are the conciquences of having all these waves being beamed and bounced around the world? Radar.. Radio.. TV.. Microwaves.. Cell Phones.. Wireless Internet.. and God knows what the military is REALLY using up in alaska [fas.org].. ect.. ect.. ect..
what are the long long term effects to the earth? the us? dose any one know?
I believe bad grammar and chronic misspellings are the first signs of irreversible brain damage caused by radio waves. You should have worn the hat...
These are all representative of this intrinsic monetary value because it's impractical and incredibly cumbersome to carry 150 pounds of gold bars, or 300 acres of land, or 500 bushels of corn in your pocket.
So rather than blame this guy for finding a nasty niche market. Why not go after the companies that are paying him. If you ever get spam from him/them/whoever, just make a note to not buy things from a company that uses such an annoying form of advertising.
I think most people already don't buy things from these companies, which is why said companies need to resort to spam - to weed out the few suckers who will buy.
1. Easy management : yes and no. It's full of "objects", "class", "methods", etc. I can understand that; my client cannot.
Java, Pascal, C++, Python, Perl, etc. are all also full of objects, classes and methods. The programmer's job is to hide these things from the client behind a friendly interface.
2. Separation of code from content : if you don't count DTML as "code", that may be true.
Somewhat true, for DTML. However, Page Templates were recently introduced and they (mostly) separate code and presentation quite nicely.
The zope.org site suck big time. The search engine lack option and return too many hit without any regard to revelance.
Well, most search engines suck; that's why I use Google with the "site:" constraint.
Zope may be what you are looking for. It's hard to beat for ease of use, maintenance, separation of code from content, etc. Zope is scalable, can also do enterprise-like stuff, connect to RDBMS and all, use any number of authentication schemes other than its own built-in scheme (LDAP, *nix passwd files, NT domains, databases). I believe you can also run Zope behind Apache w/SSL, which should take care of your security needs. Give it a try, anyway.
My fiancee and I are songwriters and we have a band, and of course we'd like to be able to make a living writing and playing our music, even if we never become zillionaires doing it. If you were getting your first recording deal today, but had your 30+ years knowledge of the music business, what things would you do, not do, do instead, etc. What sort of things would you do to protect yourself and your rights to your own music? In other words, what wisdom in dealing with record companies have you acquired can you pass on to other artists about the whole signing process, copyrights, publishing, etc.?
What's more amazing is the large effect a mere 24 oz. of sugar and coffee (aka venti Caramel Frappucino) has on how software gets developed and functions where I work.
Quote: Don't confuse "theory" with "unproven idea".
I think they are the same thing. Gravity is the description of an observed phenomenon. You can't prove gravity exists. It is "unproven". You can prove that two objects are attracted to each other, but you can't explain why. You also can't very well have a control and a test group.
Hmm. "Unproven idea" was probably a poor choice of words. Insert "unobserved phenomenon" in its place in my original post, and I think my point is still valid.
That way everybody and their mom can write a client or have tie-ins to different applications.
As soon as my mom gets the hang of using the mouse and learns the difference between single-cliking and double-clicking, then she'll probably start working on a client app to meet her business's needs.;)
The implied assumption in your statement is that you do! - such hurbis is often a clear indication of ignorance.
I wasn't trying to sound arrogant or all-knowing. Often I hear people talk (or write in forums) about biological evolution as if it were a single event of distinct speciation, that maybe happened once or twice some millions of years ago, when the monkeys turned into people, when in fact it is nothing more than "...a change in the genetic characteristics of a population over time." (http://www.talkorigins.org/origins/faqs-qa.html). I was just trying to make the point that evolution is an ongoing and observable phenomenon, not a single event that turns species A into species B (though this may happen occasionally, according to some) or some wild speculation by a bunch of heathen scientists to disprove the existence of <favorite higher power>. I'll admit I'm not a evolutionary biologist, but I am extremely fascinated by evolution, so I tend to read a lot of the current literature, and have what is best called a well-informed layperson's understanding, so I try to at least make sure we are all talking about the real theory of evolution as we understand it today, not some uninformed assumptions about what it is, as the original poster was trying to do. If someone wanted to discuss with you that they thought computers were evil because they are powered by little demons inside (please refrain from Wintel jokes), before continuing the discussion you'd probably want to bring them around to see that computers are mostly just a bunch of tiny electronic switches and wires.
However, the fossil record fails to show the progressive transformation of any living organism into a distinctly different kind of organism. The fossil record is "punctuated" by new fully formed organism. Is it not this observation that is the prime mover behind the concept of the "hopeful monster" or punctuated equilibrum.
As an analogy, I think we are still living in the comparable ara of newtonian physics and still waiting for relativity.
I agree. We only know what we know, and we'll probably never know everything, but that shouldn't stop us from accepting today what we know as true today, until something proves it false, or not so much false, but maybe as less-encompassing. Newtonian physics is as valid today as it was in 1700 or so. Gravity didn't stop working when Einstein put forth his realtivity theories, but we now know that classic Newtonian physics only explains a subset of the universe. However, if you want to plot the course of a rocket, you still only need to know what Newtown knew.
So we have witnessed one species become another? Where was I? Rather, we have witnessed dogs get big, small, and get new colors, shorter tails, bigger eyes, But over thousands and thousands of years, they're still dogs.
I don't think you (or most people) really understand what evolution is. It's not one species suddenly becoming another, like monkeys turning into people, or a thing that happened once or twice in the distant past. It is a continous process of change, small or large, that is happening now. The example you cited about the dogs is actually an excellent example of biological evolution, even though the evolution in this case is artificially accelerated and forced down certain paths by man. Evolution is also happening right under your skin, as we speak. Our immune system is constatnly spawning new species (yes, species) of antibodies to fight foreign invaders. We end up with millions of species of antibodies by the time we die.
Then am I wrong when I say it is called the Theory of Evolution?
No, it is indeed called the theory of evolution, but gravity is also called the theory of gravity. ( So you shouldn't mind if I throw you from the roof of my building. You'll have about 4 or 5 seconds to fold your arms and explain how gravity is just a theory before you become part of the pavement on Market Street.) Don't confuse "theory" with "unproven idea". In fact, the scientific definiton of theory is nearly the opposite of "unproven idea". A theory, according to Dictionary.com is "[a] set of statements or principles devised to explain a group of facts or phenomena, especially one that has been repeatedly tested or is widely accepted and can be used to make predictions about natural phenomena." I would say Creationism hardly falls under that classification.
