That we have to google how to have a baby. Your deity must be proud! Or Darwin. Here I was thinking we're the smartest we've ever been... and we need instructions on how to reproduce. Never mind that 2000 years ago, even 200 years ago, most everyone was illiterate. And 20,000 years ago, they probably didn't even realize babies come from sex. (Actually many tribes consider the baby in proportion to the number of contributing men). What ever would we do?
There is no way you can track down all those bits and alter/destroy them. Regardless fo the legality, it is impossible from a legal perspective.
Go Buddhist, give up everything, change your name, (your SSN will stay, IIRC) and reinvent yourself. Seems to me to be a lot for a stupid text file. As someone who would work at a summer camp, I would disappear 3 months out of the year to the world outside the camp. I'd come back fresh, refreshed and unencumbered. Live off the net for a while and see how really irrelevant it is to the Real World.
Eh, Droid is not that cool. Its cool, but its under powered and nothing on it feels fluid. And I'm sorry, having it be fluid is pleasing to my brain. I'm looking towards Nokia for my future phone.
I hear that my iPhone is bogging down your network. I would like to help you with your problem. Release me from my contract without early termination fees, and I will take my traffic (and business) to Verizon.
Wrong again. You can land a helicopter with a stalled engine. It is called "autorotation" and the parent mentioned it. The blades will continue to rotate and actually act as brakes while providing some lift.
This is why NASA is looking into airbags. People do walk away from helicopter crashes, but the forces are just right around the survivability limit. This is why a cushion makes sense.
That is what is being ruled out. The location (deeo inside) and our understanding of atmospheric entry would mean these fossils would have to have been in the original rock, then atmospheric entry would have formed a coating that would provide a clear delineation between what came with it, and what got there later.
Also, the fossils would be of different minerals if Earth had provided the materials.
I saw recently that NASA was leaning towards judging structures on a few meteorites as organic in nature. Meaning, we could have been derived from, or seeded life on Mars. Multiple times.
They only know the addresses you resolve. Visitation is a completely different matter. I resolve things without visiting all the time. For instance, ping. or maybe someone visited me and I want to know who they were.
And if you're so concerned, I don't know why you don't set up a DNS pool and resolve though multiple servers, so none except your local (which may be on your own machine) will know the full picture.
I am actually employed by an effort to do just this. IHE is an effort to use standard interfaces to facilitate patient management.
The thing you (and other/.ers) don't appropriate is how our current situation came to be. It evolved organically, bottom up. My company specifically makes products to enable data sharing. The problem is every hospital has different software packages and does it in slightly different ways. This IHE is the first attempt (that I know of) to give some standard at all points in the clinical health setting. We *are* using SOAP and XML (today), but are encumbered by legacy databases, formats, and protocols.
But what is worse, the Federal government in initiatives being advanced right now, are not using the IHE standards. So we already have fragmentation. But we'll get things there.
Adding to the complexity is access isn't just like using a web server. We have HIPPA to worry about. And a simple thing like getting your doctor who is affiliated with the local hospital is way more complicated than just installing a VPN and some certs. The coding schemes may not match up and have to be translated between offices, and then there is the whole security thing. Just because Dr Brown and Dr Stewart are linked to the local hospital, doesn't mean that Dr Brown should have access to Dr Stewart's files... but he might.
My company is actually achieving cost savings for our customers, but so far it is limited to linking similar geographically disperse systems, which, actually happens a lot in countries with socialized medicine. We will be able to do the same in the US once IHE has matured. Several areas are functional now, but several are under development.
Many are bland as hell. There's a few juicy ones, which have already been highlighted. The attitude that came across from reading email after email is that these people beleive they are doing science. They are well intentioned and don't mean to be pushing an agenda. However some of the emails indicated a desire to please governments and the IPCC. It was not as the AGW skeptics would have you believe that these scientists are forcing the policy, rather, it seems they are trying to do science that both pleases the governing bodies while still remains science.
But I think there should be no consideration of what pleases whomever. It should just report the facts. But that's hard to do when you're funded by them.
Actually I read the email, and no, there was no conjecture around it.
He actually manipulated the data to "hide the decline".
The only question is why did he choose the words "hide" as opposed to "correct" and "decline" as opposed to "error" which the skeptics (of this breach) are trying to imply, that "hide the decline" has the same meaning as "correct the error". I would argue to everyone, that the word hide implies falsification or concealment. So the author was knowingly manipulatin data to conceal the truth. Where the truth is some statistic that indicates there has been a lowering of the trend.
Unlike cars, which have to be titled in the state, wherein the titling carries specific safety and emissions requirements, there are no titlign or registration requirements for TVs. This is totally unenforceable.
This is par for open source. We've (I) have been clamoring for this for at least 5 years now since 2004/5, and we're getting it delivered in 2010. I am happy it is coming, I am sad it took so damn long. Because I know I was not a marginal case. I refuse to use GIMP because it just isn't laid out like PS. I tried I gave up. I tried I gave up. I tried I gave up. I've seriously tried every year, but I am too ingrained with PS to "get it"
But I am glad the fan boys came around and realized *they* are the marginal users, and continuing their stance is in turn marginalizing their software. We do need a PS replacement that isn't so damn annoying. Imagine if the KOffice, OpenOffice and GNOME Office document writer apps were a white window where your typing went and each tool bar a separate window. People would hate it. PS/GIMP is no different.
Windows supports multiple DPIs. Leave it at native resolution and use the lowest one you can find. This will make the fonts bigger and more readable. If that doesn't work set your base font settings higher.
Well I for one, have never seen a calendar end. They just contain cycles... In fact, if it doesn't renew, then its not a calendar!
The Mayans had the advantage of not having 7 days in a week and 12 months, which creates this idea that the calendar "runs out" so we have to buy a new calendar every year.
It is all making sense now. Planet X's orbit modified the Pioneer trajectories via gravity assist, and was not in the same orbital position near the other probes when they crossed its orbital path. This completely undeniably confirms the existence of the planet and 2012 hypothesis. In short we're all going to die in 2012.
I also would suggest this in government. That all laws get renewed to automatically expire after 10 years. That way we can keep the law makers busy keeping the good laws while letting the old ones die, as well as keeping them from making crappy new ones that won't survive a 10 year renewal.

or just maybe remove all the link destinations?

The best you can do is come up with ad hominem attacks against Watts, who didn't even right the article?
The character of Watts does not change the science, or the data tampering.
The review must not have been that thorough.
Except for the fact that it wasn't an oval track. It was the regular track with thew twists and turns, and for that, drafting is useless.
Hell, even the E92 M3 (v8) gets better mileage than a Prius.

Actually, I read many of the emails last night.

Linus has though, fueled many thousands of flame-wars with his product.
Obama just fuels just one Afgan war.
Just buy you TVs in Oregon, Nevada or Arizona...
Unlike cars, which have to be titled in the state, wherein the titling carries specific safety and emissions requirements, there are no titlign or registration requirements for TVs. This is totally unenforceable.

Wow, the normal /. response would be that I, being on /. would be incapable of getting girls, even chubby ones.
Besides, my facebook says otherwise and who needs friends when you get head? They just get in the way of more head.
LOL.

This has always been true. My friends quip about my dating chubby girls all the time. I never told them why, but they'll know now!
Don't waste my bandwidth, especially on a mobile device.
Idea fail.
Everything should expire after a year.
I also would suggest this in government. That all laws get renewed to automatically expire after 10 years. That way we can keep the law makers busy keeping the good laws while letting the old ones die, as well as keeping them from making crappy new ones that won't survive a 10 year renewal.
