Now that the academic scientific orthodoxy has rallied to ensure for now that one disturbing inference, ID, is uniquely excluded FYI, ID excludes itself by not doing any science.
And it's not an inference at all; it's a post hoc effort to rationalize (via pretend science) what its proponents already believed.
And regarding Lt. Col. Bush's "He was just doing his job" defense, I'd like to note that that defense hasn't been recognized in law since at least Nuremburg. I don't think modifying Wipedia pages has been designated a crime against humanity yet.
The idiot doesn't even know that ID holds to old earth dates, and to darwinian evolution. Actually, ID is a very big tent. The employees of the Discovery Institute include YECs, OECs, HIV-doesn't-cause-AIDSists, and (by some indications) Holocaust deniers. They recently hired a well known Bigfoot hunter to round out their staff. One of their Fellows has testified in court that astrology qualifies as science under the redefinition of science needed to include ID.
You can't really be very specific about what ID "holds to". The only universal is that there's something wrong with real science, because it fails to include a Creator in its models of nature.
If NASA were private, and actually had to respond to stockholders, and had to produce science discoveries in order to stay afloat, NASA wouldn't be making stupid political decisions like this. Of course not: it would be making stupid decisions to make its next quarterly report look good instead.

After a couple months using Vista at my new job, I told my boss I was downgrading my dev machine to XP Pro. My job is a thousand times easier with out the great wall of Vista blocking me from doing it. Now you have a good idea of how us UNIX users feel about Windows in general.
it will take a loooong time to convince the people with the money that microsoft is not the best option. The people with the money are the ones that get most upset about having to shell out for "upgrades".
I watched a google movie about Nikola Tesla the other night and there was speculation that the blast may have had something to do with the "death ray" that he was fooling around with at the time. And of course, everything you hear about Tesla is true.
Tesla built his "death ray" at Wardencliffe on Long Island, and it is a possible that he tested it one night in 1908. Who can argue with unsourced speculation like that?
Crackdown on unsafe toys, crackdown on "do not call" violators. Federal agencies are suddenly interested in doing their jobs after nearly seven years of sucking up to the very people they're supposed to be regulating?
Is some kind of election coming up next year, or something?
Sorry, what's stallmans academic background again? Being a throwback hippie from the 60s? I didn't realize being nostalgic was a major. Yet you obviously know who he is.
This building on campus at Case Western Reserve Univ. was also designed by Gehry. It also has issues with snow/ice (its in Cleveland) building up on the odd angles then falling on people. I walk by it every morning, and if you ask me it's just plain ugly. I had classes (at a much less prestigious institution) in a building that won architectural awards when it was built back in the 1960s, but had to have functionality refits later. It especially had problems during thunderstorms, with areas that would channel rain through it sideways like a wind tunnel, and drains that would act as geysers and soak the unwary passer-by in semi-indoor areas.
AppleInsider caught Zucker urging colleagues to take a stand against Apple's iTunes, charging that the digital download service was undermining the ability of traditional media companies to set profitable rates for their content online. Competition is Hell, ain't it.
Halton Arp discovered that quasars are in fact observed to be connected to or being ejected from spiral galaxies. Even though the mainstream theories badly need these objects to exist at the edge of space due to their high redshifts, more recent statistics demonstrate that Arp is probably right, and that redshift is not strictly an indication of distance. Cite?
FWIW, Wikipedia says it's Arp that's working with the 40 year old data.
Not to be pedantic, but couldn't there be another source for the x-rays? What would've happened if this was someones pet theory? If there were competing theories that predicted the same thing, the race would be on to see whether there was something else they made different predictions about, and to see which could stand up to the additional scrutiny.
Same really with the no-fly lists. Before the no-fly lists four aircraft where hijacked, and afterwards? How long do you think a would-be hijacker would survive after revealing his intentions, in the post-9/11 era?

I'd say something's finally *right* with the universe, if people are starting to realize that MS is a crap peddler.
And I wonder how many times they're going to insert this story into Slashdot.

If it violates their privacy statement, you should sue their asses off.

the truth is that upper management is overpaid and irresponsible Cf. The Peter Principle.
