Although I really love your books, I was an atheist already when I read them. I can image that due to the sometimes harsh and confrontational arguments of, for example The God Delusion, believers are antagonized, leading them to not be receptive to the arguments anymore. That's why I don't see this book as a deconversion book. Hence my question:
Are you going to write a book that is targeted at deconverting believers by convincing them with subtlety?
Sounds like it could be the plot of the new Crank movie!

And this is the point where feminists shoot themselves in the foot. On the one hand they say women are smart and independent, but they can't show that because they are oppressed by men. Then they say that women adapt partiarchy without thinking about the consequences, thus portraying themselves as willingly mindless robots controlled by men. Well, which one is it? Feminism is in this regard extremely sexist against women.
It is total nonsense that most organic food doesn't contain pesticides (read http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~lhom/organictext.html). They are simply necessary to maintain a large crop field. In fact, the chemicals they use have an increased risk to be harmful for YOU because they are not modified by humans. Our modications have made pestidices more specific to certain organisms, which means they impose less of a risk to other organisms.

Good question. The particles that will probably be searched for next are light supersymmetric particles. They have a very high energy scale however, so it will take a long time to build and consequently it will take a while to verify if susy is correct (especially because a lot of parameters can be tweaked to increase the mass of the new particles).
These particles however, are not elements that form any of the particles in the standard model, they are simply additions.

Note the absence of Usenet in this list. Sounds like the bandwidth cap is the leading cause of these depressions.
I don't see why they roll their own distro. This means they have to maintain all sorts of stuff themselves, while there are already so many viable alternatives. If they used, say Ubuntu, support would probably be much better.
So you are saying that this finding does not confirm an already existing statement in QED but adds an additional constraint to the framework? This is very interesting!

and full of torrents
My genome would make an awesome screensaver!

It's a feature.

Why on earth would they post that code as an image...
Very nice joke :)

I always use latex beamer + tikz for graphics for my presentations. The results are way better than powerpoint slides.
