If I wanted the thoughts and discussion of a proponent of a Demon Haunted World, I would go to BioLogos, not where I go for 'News for Nerds'. Really, Templeton Prize winners' wacky notions of reality are available all over the web, if you bother to explore a bit. I'm reading Slashdot for a reason, and Woo isn't what I'm looking for.
Before going to the article, I quick checked Wikipedia for "Mark C. Taylor". First sentence:
Mark C. Taylor (born 13 December 1945) is a philosopher of religion and cultural critic who has published more than twenty books on theology, philosophy, art and architecture, media, technology, economics, and the natural sciences.
The research project will continue for a three year period, by the end of which which the scientists hope to have established the scientific basis for their laser-ablation technique.
Wow! Lasers! This is the kind of news I get up early for. Will there be film at 11:00?
heh. I'm unsuccessfully scratching my head trying to remember the book, but it was classic science fiction of the good ol' space opera variety. The adolescent hero's adventure was all about striking it rich by finding huge thorium deposits on Mercury. Written in the 1950s.
"“Holden crater has some of the best-exposed lake deposits and ancient megabreccia known on Mars,” said HiRISE’s principal investigator, professor Alfred McEwen of the UA’s Lunar and Planetary Laboratory. ”Both contain minerals that formed in the presence of water and mark potentially habitable environments. [...]“"
"Meaningless"? Blown out of proportion?
I don't think so.
When new-fangled speeds like that became available, a baud was no longer == 1 bit per tone per second, and I objected to the sloppy language.
I remember - uphill both ways...
I wonder if people using the term "deniers" will ever stop setting up strawman and accept that people are questioning the causes of climate change, not whether the climate actually changes.
INHOFE: I think I was right on that, and I do believe — first off, let’s keep in mind, though, what the issue is. It’s not whether or not we’re going into a global warming period. We were. We’re not now.
You know, God’s still up there. We’re now going through a cooling spell. And the whole issue there was is it man-made gases, anthropogenic gases, CO2, methane. I don’t think so
Anyone who is lactose intolerant simply does not have the mutation allowing the production of lactase beyond the juvenile stage of developement. It's a mutation, you either have it, or you don't. No bacteria involved.
They're idiots who shouldn't be allowed off a supervised range with a gun. Shooting at a highly elevated target with no (likely) backstop but the sky is the height of firearms irresponsibility.
Just a few years back, some yahoo in Jersey let loose a few.30 cal rounds at a soaring turkey vulture. A couple miles away, a guy working on the roof of his suburban home took the round and died on the spot.
If you're not certain of your field of fire, you don't squeeze. Period.
Quite true. There are >40,000 groups in my.newsrc, but the handfull of groups I subscribe to have very little spam, and that is mostly easily filtered out. I think it just might depend on what groups one is familiar with. Certainly nobody cares about "most of them". Most of what is on the Web is junk, too.
um... I thought that the issue in this particular proceeding was another judge's decision that by Singh's use of the word "bogus" he meant that chiropracters were intentionally dishonest (libelous), rather than an opinion (fair comment) of the scientific merits of chiropractic.

First sentence:
I didn't read the article.
The Earth moves one way, the Earth moves the other way.
You can't explain that.
"findings"? What "findings", exactly?

Water vapor comes and goes.
CO2 stays a long, long time.
Not only do I get a new one, it's a relatively unused one, Ophiucus!
Shiny!!!

Google is trying to fatten up the long thin tail.

Tiresome of me to point it out, I know, but I do not think that word means what you think it means.
Really.
We need to take our country back!
Last week, somebody handed me a paper to read, but the damned thing is upside-down. I'm still trying to figure it out.
The first mention of Light Peak in the article is a link to an overview at Intel:

The other day, I used a wrong option for wget and downloaded the internet. Maybe I should post it on an Internet file-sharing site.
You may have left your sliderule out in the rain.
Wait, what!? Who are these people, really?
"most of the groups are filled with junk"

As that towering Texan figure of 21st century science, Dr. MacElroy said, "Somebody's got to stand up to the experts!"
The paperless office.

This is why I like cash. It has some other guy's picture on it.
