Soccer leads to one cool thing you could do with autonomous battle bots (as if autonomy shouldn't be enough to interest slashdot nerds): have armies of them fight.
Clinton got into trouble because he stood in the way of the same psychos that have been running this country into the ditch for the last seven years (and throwing away a good chunk of our wealth). If the press and DC really had a problem with lying, Bush would have been shitcanned years ago.
That's what I'd like to see, but maybe date copyright from the date of first sale or distribution and not creation. I'm envisioning a publisher going back 17 years and finding that novel they rejected and giving it another shot.
How about get rid of the tax and just require copyright to be affirmed every ten years. People could still sit on a copyright, but then at least they'd have the opportunity to fall off.
It's not grounds for impeachment because nearly every Republican and a few Democrats still have Bush's back in Congress. That siding with Mr. 19% approval against the American People and the Constitution isn't a deathblow in this Democracy is depressing.
The Bush administration has to be covering up something very embarrassing. Something worse than what we know about already. Otherwise it wouldn't be spending its remaining political capital on this issue.
There's no mystery: the Bush administration began spying illegally on Americans soon after it came to power, that is months *before* Sept. 11. Not only did the system fail to prevent the attack even though much information was already known about the hijackers, but it was initiated during a period when terrorism didn't even make the list of Bush administration priorities, even though they'd been warned by the Clinton administration to take it seriously.
So what's to hide? 1) Illegal spying already has failed to protect the country. 2) Illegal spying was not started to protect America from terrorism. The real purpose is still not public.
Somewhat related to your other point: This congress won't have the guts to impeach Bush, because despite what you say, all most every Republican politician still has his bag. The next Congress can, however, impeach a president after he leaves office: this is mostly symbolic, but would also cut off all federal funds to Bush and prevent him from taking other federal offices.
This is in reference to George Washington (1st President of US). So you can take this either way, but there was a fear of being pronounced dead without being dead, although there may have been no basis for it.
OT, but the story I get from my Grandmother is that her father, a roofer, was pronounced dead after a fall and was put on a cold marble slab and sent by train to his family. He was found to be alive on arrival, three days later.
Evolution is good science and should therefore be taught to children so that they are scientifically educated. It's irrelevant whether it's part of anyone's religion.
Let's look at an example going the other way: should schools not tell people that it's possible for someone to be mistaken for dead for three days then "come back to life" just because it happened in the bible?
What's the concern with all these new releases? Why would anyone bother with them?
I played AD&D off and on for years, and just last week played 3rd edition for the first time (never played 2nd). It felt pretty much the same. It's still a dungeon crawl simulator focused on battle mechanics, some of the rules have been streamlined, though there seemed to be more of them.
3rd ed. is a ploy to sell source books. The marketing drone's bullshit answer about why 4th ed. is needed tells me that things aren't going to change.
Answer this question: How many times have eyes evolved on this planet? Once. Once in the entire infinite universe.
You may be right, but many researchers think they've evolved dozens of times independently.
Fusion fuel is so far removed from the context of life that it has taken billions of years for life to learn to harness it, but it has.
Computers swim in the see of thought. It may be that algorithms are the stuff of thought. When it comes to evolving sentience, computers are playing on their home field. Is it a leap of faith to assume the right program will just evolve intelligence? Sure, but the idea is far from absurd.
He's proposing a variation where monkeys that make the least progress towards typing hamlet are killed off, and the remaining monkeys are allowed to breed to replenish their numbers. Conveniently, this requires only a large finite number of monkeys.
No it doesn't.
Yes it does.

I'm curious why this isn't modded as flamebait. Environmentalism and "Scientists" as a sect of Atheism? Universalists? Is there anyone less an atheist than someone who thinks that God is the entire universe?

Being disillusioned is a good thing. And why should libertarians complain when someone runs off with their money? It's not like he signed a contract when you gave it to him.
Do you think it's better for the Chinese people to see Western companies collaborate and legitimize oppression from their government than to see such censorship denounced and shunned by the wider world?
You don't understand the mindset of the current American government. They believe in a unipolar world where you have to sit back and take it if they deem you should have no Internet, but they will nuke you if you so much as stub your toe against one of their cables.
He's too old. Wants to bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran. Wants to stay in Iraq for 100 years. Yes, I know he said with no casualties, but he hasn't promised to pull out if there are casualties, to say the least. Does anyone think it's possible to stay in Iraq without casualties?
Romney: Wants to double Guantanimo: I don't know if this hurts him in the general election, but anyone that's Pro-Guantanimo is Anti-Rule-of-law.
Huckabee: Wayne Dumond. The democrats all know about it even if the Republicans don't. It will come out in the general.

The spying started before 9/11. It wasn't about terrorism, and it didn't work anyway.

What's your point? Some crackpot 20 years ago spouted bullshit about oil reserves, so sensible people shouldn't be concerned?
