I don't *know* that we're not actually being held down by thousands of tiny invisible fairies flapping their wings, but I *do* know that things in a vacuum fall done at the same rate, and flapping wings can't help you fly in vacuum
Actually, it raises the question. Begging the question is a formal logic term that does not mean what most people seem to think.
Text from the link:
An argument that improperly assumes as true the very point the speaker is trying to argue for is said in formal logic to "beg the question." Here is an example of a question-begging argument: "This painting is trash because it is obviously worthless." The speaker is simply asserting the worthlessness of the work, not presenting any evidence to demonstrate that this is in fact the case. Since we never use "begs" with this odd meaning ("to improperly take for granted") in any other phrase, many people mistakenly suppose the phrase implies something quite different: that the argument demands that a question about it be asked--raises the question. If you're not comfortable with formal terms of logic, it's best to stay away from this phrase, or risk embarrassing yourself.
The climate in the US has driven away conferences and discouraged researchers. Export controls hinder work on crypto systems. Presenters may be prosecuted / threatened for their work under our DMCA (remember Dimitri? How about Felten's battle over SDMI?)
Is anyone really surprised that such tactics have scared off science/engineering discoveries?
(1) the research demonstrating the superiority of the Dvorak keyboard is sparse and methodologically suspect; (2) a sizable body of work suggests that in fact the Dvorak offers little practical advantage over the QWERTY; (3) at least one study indicates that placing commonly used keys far apart, as with the QWERTY, actually speeds typing, since you frequently alternate hands; and (4) the QWERTY keyboard did not become a standard overnight but beat out several competing keyboards over a period of years. Thus it may be fairly said to represent the considered choice of the marketplace.
I recently guest taught at a Philadelphia public school. The nicest bathroom in the building (in the teacher's longue) had no door knob (the hole was stuffed with paper towels), no curtains to cover the big window overlooking the parking lot (don't turn on the light or it is easy to see in from outside), and no lock (a brick slid in front of the door mostly kept it closed).
The whiteboards sound great but I think the chalkboards will hang around a long while with the more necessary purchases sitting on their shopping lists.
The abacus as we know it today, appeared (was chronicled) circa 1200 A.D. in China; in Chinese, it is called suan-pan. On each rod, this classic Chinese abacus has 2 beads on the upper deck and 5 on the lower deck; such an abacus is also referred to as a 2/5 abacus. The 2/5 style survived unchanged until about 1850 at which time the 1/5 (one bead on the top deck and five beads on the bottom deck) abacus appeared. http://www.ee.ryerson.ca:8080/~elf/abacus/history. html
Who cares if they have the logs? That worries people? All the logs could show is that you downloaded a torrent. The MPAA would already have better info with a bot that connects to all posted trackers to grab addresses and see who is complete and seeding, meaning they have the whole file.
I had a "types and programming languages" (graduate level) course at UPenn that made heavy use of OCaml. Though I can't imagine voluntarily going through that material, the resources page gives a good general background including OCaml references. The homework page provides some OCaml programming examples. The solutions seem to have been pulled, but I imagine they are still easily found on archive.org (which is not responding for me right now to check) or via google.
I don't see why my phone number should be exposed to telemarketers (or even people that know me whom I don't want to have my number) because other people have trouble keeping track of phone numbers.
He is adamant that there is no God which created everything, yet he points to artificial order which could only be created by an intelligent designer.
Why would it need to be the work of an intelligent designer? Perhaps this was just one of an immense number of random permutations that, more or less, happened to work?

How much wider a slice could you want? As of 10:18 AM Eastern, the search turns up a single female in the 18-99 age range.
Hell, I'd bet it was a factor in Christ's execution too.

This will no doubt mean lower video game prices now that publishers will be drawing ad revenue, right?
Wow, a typo typo.

But the abacus in use today is the Chinese one.

And support Chinese hardware?!?

As far as I can tell roaming profiles hasn't been added yet, has it?
This bug seems to cover it, and it is marked as fixed/verified and was slated for 1.8 alpha 1, but doesn't look like it made it.
Any idea when it should make it?

Couldn't SCO have downloaded it from one of the many mirrors by now?

Seems like a "5, Funny" joke is lurking in there somewhere...
