That's a common misconception promoted by creationists.
Ok.
I heard it where someone was saying that the history As We Know It(tm) was too long. That events happened in a more compressed fashion. So the 1600s were actually the 800s or something like that. He did some analysis on the fables and stories from the early middle ages and concluded that the "recorded" events actually happened concurrently rather than sequentially.
So the end result was that the dating methods were therefore inaccurate and actually were much more compressed in terms of time. So that an artifact from ~2000BC was actually ~500BC etc.
AFAIK the procedure was calibrated using known dates on Earth, then using that scale to go further back in time. Sort of like calibrating Celsius with 0 (freeze point) and 100 (boiling point), then using those units to go below zero and above boiling.
So will a "scale" calibrated on Earth work on Mars?
If I commit fraud against the person who is committing the fraud, that that is a crime.
Of course a lawyer could argue this to death. And that SHOULD be a crime.
Life was a LOT simpler before lawyers appeared. Now everywhere you turn, simple things are being complicated because some lawyer is going WAY beyond being reasonable to get his client off. Common sense is dead in the legal proffession.
Key fobs, RF remotes and Garage door openers are using the 330 Mhz junk band and are right in the middle of the Military A-Band
We had rock bands come to us (near a Canadian base).
About 3-4 miles from the hotel was a NORAD RADAR. The pulse from the RADAR would manifest itself as a "BZZT" in the band's amplifiers (If was funny seeing the band try to locate the source.....). Heck, you could hear it on your car radio.
Big wattage is NO joke. The spill-over into other freqiencies is a fact of life (anyone with a CB will know it as cross-talk).
I was merely pointing out that existing laws prevent everyone from voting. And I am not talking about felons. It is much more clear-cut than that, supported by everyone (except those affected of course, if they can understand the exclusion).
manipulate those tests in such a way as to prevent people with certain opinions from voting
Yes it COULD be structured that way. I was thinking more along the lines of "what are the major issues and what are the party platforms".
For our recent Candian elections it would be: health care (money, money, and money + accountability), taxes (keep the same, tax everything in sight, cut personal), accountability in Government (hide as best we can, who cares, set up watchdogs everywhere).
A lot of this is probably to do with the number of invalid votes witnessed in each election, which inevitably is because of the paper/pencil option
Ah yes, but then this creates a self administered stupidity bar.
If you are too stupid to put an X in a black bordered circle, then maybe you should not be voting?
I STILL think that there should be some sort of additional requirement to vote. Something which tests knowledge of issues would be good, so that not just charisma and sound bites are important....
The cast gets marooned on a planet which has a diabolical race which insists on the cast performing lame stunts in order to get food, and not become food. The cast must vote who will become food.
Continuity is presevered by the cast having children.
In a stunning development, some of the eaten cast re-appear for one final stunt.

Sounded plausible at the time.....

Are you a lawyer?

A number of years ago there was a database (well, file manager) called Q&A. It was DOS based.
:-((
It had a free-form query engine that would accept thinbgs like:
"Find all the widgits which are green"
"Count how many blue widgets I have"
"Add five percent to all red widget prices"
Then MS aquired Access, and all was lost
Conning a con artist is NOT equivalent - you're scamming a person who deliberately targeted you in hopes of stealing from you.
It is still a crime.
Therefore he's clearly not doing this for personal gain.
Seems to me there is a fairy tale about this...
Oh yes, Robin Hood!
Still, it does not make it right. Committing a crime is committing a crime. The ends do NOT justify the means, or else our society becomes lawless.
Think of the terrorists. They commit crimes for their "justice". Your point of view may differ.
There are no windows in the basement.
Ok then, pull the floor tile and jump into that!

ShellBlock fixes Bug 250180, by disabling the shell protocol handler.
This fix is for users of all Mozilla products on Windows XP
Hmmm, article states Win2K and XP, fix page states Win XP.
Who to believe.....
char sig[120] = "\0"
I ran this, but got a syntax error.
Should it not be:
char sig[120] = "\0";
Yes, that potential always exists. No system is perfect.
But we should strive to improve things. YMMV.
maybe all I care about is foreign policy or intellectual property rights. Your choices for major issues reflects your own bias, think about it.
Perfect! You DO know about those issues....
So the test is verbal, through sign language, Braille, whatever....

Was not your point that eveyone should vote?
I was merely pointing out that existing laws prevent everyone from voting. And I am not talking about felons. It is much more clear-cut than that, supported by everyone (except those affected of course, if they can understand the exclusion).
But we already HAVE a requirement before you can vote. Not everyone CAN vote right now.

Novell Netware
Which is really quite funny, as NO ONE uses Netware as a client. This is a Network Operating System and AFAIK has no email client.
Who wants to use a server as a workstation anyways?
Yes, but what if ping is blocked but port 34432 is open for a service?

then use the Permit Cookies hotkey extension
:-((
:-))
Yes, but use such a utility, you need to KNOW about the utility
Now I have a new bookmark
Call me oblivious, but wasn't this one of the reasons why cookies were created?
Using the Mozilla cookie control, I regularily go through my cookies. Anything that looks like it is coming from an ad site I delete and block.
Any site which I do not recognize gets the same treatment.
I have not had any problems from any site because of this.
My prediction is that the experiment as I suggested it will reveal an anti-mentoring bias among formal professional trainers.
Only the poor trainers. The good ones know that they cannot teach everything, and there is nothing like hands-on experience.
I have known one or two good ones out of many bad ones. Sad really...
try getting a formal mentoring program going in your company
Ah yes, but in today's bean counter dominated HR department, who has anyone to mentor?
But then, bean counters are ALWAYS short-sighted, focussing on the quarterly bottom line more than anything.
