Science is about reproducible results. Publish the details of your experiment, so I can perform your experiment (and variations on it) myself. Your claim is strengthened if I get the same results you do.
The only person who could reasonably reproduce an experiment would be another scientist within the same area of science. A random member of the public lacks knowledge, time, and equipement to reproduce any scientific experiment - and most of all any person, scientist or otherwise, lacks the time to reproduce all the experiments they would need to do in order to avoid trust.
Trust is at the core of science - you trust journals and reputable scientists not to lie, because you cannot afford universal scepticism.
Early human life must have been gritty when things weren't bountiful.
With twelve hours of darkness per day (on average), and needing only eight hours sleep, they had a LOT of time in the dark while awake. Especially in winter. I reckon they must have had a lot of snuggling up time on their hands.
While the IS stuff is rather a hot news item, I do not agree that slashdot is really the place for it. One of the reasons I look at Slashdot is to get a nice newsfeed without 5 items per day about wild muslims.
Damn! There goes my new article about about "Emacs or Vi? Which do wild Muslims prefer?"
While I do not fall on the recorded Autism spectrum. The way they make Sheldon would be very insulting to people with these problems.
While having Asperger's can bring some problems it can also bring strengths and pleasures (e.g. Aspie "special interests" can be great fun, almost like being in love, but with a topic rather than a person). I wouldn't refer to Asperger's simplistically as a "problem". It is a condition with problems and advantages - and also some differences that are just plain neutral.
Referring to the autism spectrum as unqualified "problems" is part of the problem. Asperger's isn't a defect, it is a difference with positives and negatives.
PS: quite a few people on the spectrum think Sheldon is great. At least we get a vaguely recognisable Aspie character who has some strengths (genius, can be very generous with money) and obvious weaknesses (not all of which are core Aspie weaknesses - e.g. his narcissism is more Sheldon than Aspie).
Design, but looking at a dachshund, I wouldn't use the term "intelligent".
Of course it is intelligent design: the annoying dogs are all short and cannot run fast. That makes it easier to get away from them. Would you want a dachshund that could run like a greyhound?
Agreed. Without geany there, this comparison is not very useful. Whenever I was using Linux, I missed notepad++, until I found out about geany.
You know, Notepad++ will run perfectly fine in Linux under Wine. It isn't that hard to install and use. I have Notepad++ and TextPad on my Linux desktop right now.
The Linux police don't come and arrest you if you install your favourite Windows programs in Linux.
Of the winners in computing, those that won because of technical merit are swarmed by those that won for other reasons.
Things win because they are "good enough", for a "reasonable enough" price, at the right time - but it helps if they are being pushed by a ruthless, anti-competitive monster monopoly.
I had no idea that this was the case in the soviet era. Can you cite your sources please?
Tsk. Don't you watch any movies?
The film "Enemy At The Gates" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0215750/) is all about a renowned Russian sniper during WW2 who learned to shoot accurately when he went wolf huinting with his father. Being Stalinist Russia, bullets were expensive and difficult to buy (as were most items) so you learned to shoot very well and not waste the ammo.
The show is popular with quite a few Aspies because it is one of the few almost reasonable attempts at portraying an Aspie-like character. Sheldon also displays signs of OCD and maybe Narcissistic personality disorder, but an Aspie without those other conditions can still recognise or even identify with many of his actions.
What I get out of this story is that, if you're lucky enough to survive the trip in the wheel well, it's much more convenient to travel this way than doing it the regular way: no queuing, no overcharging from the airlines, no restrictions on the amounts of liquids you can carry, no getting your gonads showered with x-rays, no groping from TSA perverts... and of course, no arbitrary, secret no-fly list that prevents you from boarding the plane in the first place.
The airport security theater almost makes me want to risk my life as a stowaway.
And no waiting in the queue for the toilet either.

Given this, dogs are probably better judges of people than we are.
Clearly dogs should be employed in recruitment departments.
Apache Struts, Tomcat, and elasticsearch (mentioned in the summary) are all written in java.
To me, that indicates a JAVA vulnerability, not a Linux vulnerability.

I always walk around outside looking at the ground (don't like the sight of moving people).
Google isn't going to film my face from space - at least, not until they cover the ground with mirrors.
And it's true we should not have to do crap like this to use our netflix accounts!
Now, try doing that outside the US, where you are also blocked because of location, not just OS.
The article suggests that Arch will be the first distribution to have 3.16, but Gentoo got there before it,
Reminds me of a kindergarten: "I was first! No, me! But I did it before you!"
Now, children, why can't we all play nicely?

How come your neighbor New Zealand can do better?
Because we haven't worked out yet how to lure Tony Abbott across the Tasman (and leave him there).
The Death Star proved that. Overwhelming support. Brushed under the rug. This administration is a joke.
They should have asked Tesla to build Death Stars ... and let them sell those direct to the public. Kill two birds with one stone.
So now we could breed up a strain of highly intelligent chimpanzees by selecting new parents from the highest scoring chimps?
Nope. That was on the Internet. That is completely different.
Yeah, the Internet's nothing to do with computers ... it's just tubes all the way.
in the form of a vaccine?
Vaccines cause neurotypicality - you heard it here first!
Step 4:
Prices are high and a de facto exclusive license exists. People notice this is bad and want deregulation.
Your Step 4 is the status quo in Australia (well, Sydney, at least).
Taxis have been a highly regulated monopoly for decades. No "historical cycle". No steps 1, 2 or 3.
So when are they releasing it as a game?
I would LOVE to see wine in cans
Cans are opaque.
Please keep us updated on all conversations you have with your mother. Thanks.

Just avoid Internet Explorer all the time.
