Most people have accepted genes that pass down through inheritance,
What's really slick is that the theory of evolution predicted genes. If you hold to the notion of an intelligent designer, there's no need for genes, since God forms creatures according to his will. The genetic info is all in his mind.
The real problem is yet another American president thinks he's above the law, as if the entire point of the revolution and the constitution and the millenia of history before that went over his head.
Though sometimes I think a faux monarchical figure head would suit us well. No people should invest so much of their self worth in their elected officials as Americans do in their president. It shouldn't be as hard as it is to say "Bush, you fucked up. You're out. We're going to give some other horses ass a shot.".
It is very difficult to believe, which is why it's conception, detailed investigation, analysis, verification and application are considered monumental human achievements.
They would have made more money if they'd have let Serenity be Firefly.

My biggest problem with lisp is that "emacs" seems to be a given. Let's face it, unless you love emacs, it sucks.
A couple of years ago I learned some emacs, enough to do a few cool things with the built in lisp. I set it aside and a year or so later found "Lisp in a box" or whatever. This is a package that supposed to get new lispers up and running with minimal fuss.
I installed on a Windows machine, the lisp interpreter worked, the editor popped up, and it was a Windows version of emacs. I couldn't remember how to do one thing with emacs, not even how to quit.
Many other like me, I'd guess, will just avoid lisp until "Those that don't you use ilisp with emacs deserve to lose.", as it said in one CMUCL man page, is no longer the horrible truth.
You can figure this out by looking at media that is already targeted at women: fashion mags, certain tv shows, especially some anime, romantic comedies.
Female protagonists are thin to the point of being boyish, innocent, angelic. Male sex objects are also rail thin, feminine in action and appearance, (in anime, the lead love interest if often voiced by a woman), with either a "perfect in every way" personality or a "bad boy with a with a heart of gold" personality.
I have not RTFA, buy my completely uninformed guess is that BioWare retains the rights to all entries and will be publishing "the best of" in the future. So not only do they get a good writer out of the deal, but they get some number of well written adventures for free in the bargain.
I was in the same boat with my one year old cheapo compaq laptop. Periodically I'd download and try out some live CDs, but there would always be something that wouldn't work.
This week I tried a new version of MEPIS and everthying worked without any tweaking.
Not really. Take the piranha poodles in Monkey Island. Guy Brush, if you tell him to walk past him basically says, no way, I'm not going to get shredded. If good Sir Graham were in his place, he'd just march oblivious into a vicious mauling. With some labor, you'll bring him back up from your last save point.
There is absolutelty zero effect on the course of the game, but a huge effect on how much the player learns to hate your game.
Yes I've seen those too. This one is aimed at non-slashdotters to let them know that the page is likely to be crapped up. Our reputation over there must not be stellar.
1. Number of famous people is small compaired to general population.
and
2. If you're famous, maybe you settle out of court. RIAA will be happy to settle, cause they can just take that money and use it to make an example of someone else who won't.
By "you", I of course mean the royal you that includes the Grandposter. The rumor that I was too lazy to check the names is nothing but a scurilous lie.
Yes. These are generally nice guys and I'm sure it's mostly talk, but it does indicate that should scenarios like you suggest come to pass, their heads will be so far up their asses they'll be worse than useless.
When the local gunnuts go around saying "If there's another terrorist attack, any towelheads within range better run for cover", makes me think ideas like yours are just pure fantasy.
Please demonstrate that Intelligent Design is wrong. I'm curious.
Two disproofs of ID.
1. One of the keystones of modern ID thought is that a designed object can be differentiated from an evolved object. An important distinction is that features of the relation between features of designed objects is largly a function of utility, whereas the relation between features evolved objects is a function of ancestry.
The evidence on that score is pretty devistating for ID.
2. The fossil records show an ever changing array of species over the earth. The creation of new species is a continual process, and therefore we should expect to find a mechanism by which it's on going today.
The theory of evolution proposes mechanism for how that happens, and makes predictions about it (DNA, for example) that are borne out, all in a mere century and a half.
After Millenia, ID doesn't even provide a hint of a process. Sure, absense of evidence is not evidence of absense, but to butcher someone's quote about measuring changes in the speed of light, if Mother Nature always evades your attempts to pin her down, maybe she's trying to tell you something.
ID is a venerable theory, and it wasn't bad for it's time, but it does not measure up any more.
The idea is not only not new, it was the dominant one in the west for thousands of years before natural explanations superceded it.
The results speak for themselves. After millenia of providing zero insight into Biology, ID gave way to evolutionary theory which has resulted in an explosion of vprogress.

How do you know something's true if you can't check if it's true?

So long as desire goes down at the same rate as the scoring, its no big deal :)
Good luck with that.

The Martian day is close to 24 hours, IIRC. Maybe the problem is that it doesn't have a big enough molten core.
