I see where it says Congress shall make no law respecting an _establishment_ of religion. I agree with the statement whole heartedly. I see nothing saying faith shall play no role in government. This country would not be as free as it is without men that relied heavily on their faith in God to determine that freedom. The field of science would not be as advanced as it is without men that relied heavily on their faith in God for wisdom and direction.
Just as an FYI, Brown is new to Harris. The former CEO left shortly after the data center was functional. He actually went out on top of bringing Harris up to a $6B+ company. Not defending anyone here, just giving some information. Brown could not possibly be responsible for this blunder.
With that said, I thought the idea was a little crazy to begin with when Harris wouldn't even put less critical data into a 3rd party providers hands, even with sensitivity guarantees. So, why would their government services division think the government would do it with more critical data?
Someone please quickly develop something that implements this. I need to use it to influence the behavior of the used car salesmen that Good hires to push their product.
I saw no need in your statement to explain it. When you have to explain sarcasm, it fails. Plus, explaining it makes it difficult to carry the humor on to replies.
But the waterfall quadruped robot is not able to sprint.
I would ask for the addition to define evolution. Evolution is tossed about to mean both micro- and macro-evolution as if they are one thing. Evolutionists would do themselves a tremendous favor to make a distinction between the two. Micro-evolution to a degree can be seen. Macro-evolution has no evidence of existence at all.
The battle is over in science not because there is no founding for it. The battle is over because the leaders in the scientific go out of their way to seek out those with any dissenting opinion to popular theory and throw them out. Do a bit of research yourself and you will find many valid, well-informed professors thrown out of universities for presenting or even researching on the side aspects that did not agree with the status quo. People, particularly on this forum, put Christians down as ignorant. I believe it is much more ignorant to just flat out silence opposing views rather than actually investigate them for real merit.
Actually if you would take time to look into it, you would find the extraordinary efforts those in control go to in order to remove any scientist that presents a solid basis for creationism or intelligent design. Our higher education system is being destroyed by keeping dissenting viewpoints out when science has the intent of examining everything.
Wish I had mod points so I could mod this up, even though anonymous, as informative. Must be the most well thought out response I have ever seen on Slashdot.
I completely agree that turning anything into a no-no tends to make it into a big deal, however I agree with your grandfather as well. He does/did have a very good basis for his position.
Matthew 15:18 "But what comes out of the mouth proceeds from the heart, and this defiles a person."
"I'm far more concerned with..." and "It's only music..." and "What's the harm in watching..." are all phrases that I have recently been covering in my Sunday school and discipleship studies recently. As Christ followers, the things you list, nudity, violence, mindless "culture", should concern us greatly, but so should the lesser things as well.
Matthew 5:19 "Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven." Philippians 4:8 "Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things."
I am certain my geek card will be revoked for quoting scripture on/. Oh well. It's worth loosing if so.
Well, I was all set to read a real world review of OO.o to understand the shortcomings. Well, right up till sentence 3. You lost me there. Can't be a very competent review with that kind of language.
Somehow it appears everyone is missing what was actually said unless I am terribly mistaken myself. Quite possible.
I believe it was along the lines of if there is something you don't want people to know about, you shouldn't be doing it. I don't believe the sentiment was don't tell; it was don't do it. Makes perfect sense to me. If your doing something you would be embarrassed for people to find out, then STOP! Fairly simple and incredibly smart.
Oh, that Facebook notified all users of the change and clearly explained it in advance? Is that what's being cried about here? Ok, I get that then. Carry on.
I know. I know. I am not new here. But, people, please read the article; not just the summary. The ones agreeing with just the summary are a little brainless. The ones saying how wrong the summary is did not read the article. The article doesn't just talk about "jerk that's right" vs. "nice but wrong". It addresses managing the logical, geek, stupid sucks and makes my job harder mentality. Not that management will ever read this article and walk away willing to change anything.
Do none of you use http://www.slacker.com/? I started with Pandora, but I find Slacker far superior. It is free with ads and has a paid subscription with no ads. The channels are more professionally programmed, so I don't get the odd song thrown in that just doesn't fit the chosen genre in the least.
I can sympathize with subby somewhat, and since the question of what type of job to look for came up...
I am a generalist myself, and I love it. I found a good nitch as a generalist that doesn't force me to specialize necessarily and let's me stay involved with most of the tech that interests me. Security. It's the hot button "specialty" for a lot of larger companies right now, and you need to have experience across the board to be half way successful as a security specialist.
This should be moded up. The parent needs to learn a little more about diabetes before commenting. I am a diabetic. More injections per day is closer to how the body naturally regulates insulin. Insulin pumps are even better at this since they deal in micro doses all day long. You bolus when you take in sugars, and get micro doses based on an hourly rate to maintain your basal rate. It is more natural and has nothing to do with the effectiveness of the various types of insulin. Even with animal based insulin, the medical profession would have still moved to multiple shots and pumps.

You asked for two evidences of evolution. That's what I gave. Might want to re-read the request.
Ok, I'll play along.
Bacterial resistance to antibiotics.
Mosquito resistance to DDT.
Nope. No need to retract. That is quite the well crafted propaganda I expected in reply.
Odd that the bible, including creation, was taught in public education until approx 1948.

Indeed.
Those tend to be referred to as network and system engineers these days.
