Experience. There is a big difference between trusting one's own senses examining something directly over trusting what a computer tells you is a good approximation of the same experience. You could just as well say it is the same to read a book on the topic or look at a video of experiments being done.
Part of the reason science majors are made to do real experiments in their field, rather than run through simulations is to get the experience of actually doing things. Yes many experiments like say the Millikan Oil Drop, or the many wet chemistry precipitation experiments could easily be simulated on a computer, but that would mean the student never learns how experiments are actually done and how hard they can be. Millikan in particular I think helps give a student an appreciation for just how hard science has been in the past.
Congratulations, you have discovered a basic definition of the word like. Indeed if something is like something-else it is definitively less different than other things that it could be compared to.
To remain employed the serfs will have to sign away any rights to such silly things. If they are lucky they can have their day, or hour in a puppet arbitration court.
There is no requirement that they be lawyers, or studied law at all. Though they still have to get approved and I doubt they'd get far w/o some sort of formal legal background.
A big problem is that our system is based on common law, meaning that how a particular law has been applied in the past, precedent, directly affects how it is applied in the present.
In other words there are real laws on the books that were never written, and our system is supposed to work that way. The founders were very aware of common law and what it meant.
No one sensible favors complete non-regulation as the left claims the right wants and no one sensible favors regulation for regulation's own sake as the tea party/right claim the left wants.
Basic regulation is a requirement of our society in order for there to be a free market in the first place and for laws to be enforced. Basic regulation and oversight provide the structure for the market to exist in.
I happen to be left leaning and do think that the Tea Party in general, especially the higher echelons of the Tea Party, are far too generalized and radical in their positions against regulation. Yes reducing regulations in general for a simpler law-code, just like refactoring a program for leaner code, in general is a good thing but you have to look at WHY those regulations are there in the first place, not just who put them there, and what the effect will be if they are simply repealed.
Like program code the various codes of law do often grow outdated and experience things like mission creep and over time can do more harm than good, BUT that doesn't mean that regulations and laws (after all all laws are regulations in one form or another) in GENERAL are bad.
I believe that more things need to be regulated, but they need to be regulated well, and those regulations need to be enforced.
One thing I hear from the right and especially the Tea Party is the sentiment that all government workers, all government, is incompetent and corrupt merely by virtue of working in government. I come from a family with quite a few government employees, mostly scientists and professors, and I take offence to such a notion.
The problem isn't that they are unpopular the problem is to the public the MPAA is unknown. Most people don't know of or why they should care about the MPAA.
No determining if someone is being a jerkoff is part of the USPTO's mission.
Though their current admission strikes me similar to a guy coming out as gay to his parents years after his mother started introducing him to nice boys.
ok. One guy does not the scientific community make. What papers has this guy published? What journals has he appeared in? What books has he written? What research has he done?
Who is this guy other than a name and cheap youtube link?
Who says that life arose from purely chemical reactions?
Electricity has always been a factor in the more modern plausible origin of life theories. Experiments to generate complex organic molecules from base components by simulating early Earth like environment have always involved some sort of electrical component, namely in the form of simulated lightning.
Though your real gripe is against that the randomness, in your view, could not have given the result of life because the chances are so small. However in order for the chances to be small they have to exist in the first place as small is greater than 0.
You are considering only the improbability of a single event under a single circumstance but not considering how many times that circumstance might occur in the universe, which is vast, old and to any reasonable point of scientific certanty contains a large number of such circumstances. You are focusing only on the single success without taking into account or having any idea of all the other times it almost but didn't happen.
Perhaps cite it as you would a dictionary as a jumping-off point in rhetoric but certainly not as the main point of an argument. Wiki is supposed to include links and references to outside/original material for a reason.
This article also assumes that the developers (or often developer) is not also the server admin. Many shops have one or a few IT people wearing many hats.
Not really. Seriously look at the percentage of rural population in the farming industry. I guarantee you it is lower than 50 probably than 25%. Most farms now don't need a huge population to support and most food production is on a factory scale.

What lawsuits?

The problem is that introduces a lot of work load into the system, which is arguably highly overstressed as it is.

The title of this article seems to imply that this should be a surprise.
Did anyone think that online shopping would be "greener" than traditional?
You can fault the local wallyworld for a lot of things but general inefficiency largely isn't one of them.
Except, being gay in a person is a state that doesn't need to be fixed but being a disaster in the USPTO IS something that needs to be fixed.

Also exactly what about electricity makes it more or less "Godlike" than any other part of the physical universe?

No free-standing 3d is also truly 3 dimensional. It isn't very close to market but it would still keep a viewer focused on a particular scene.

Well for feasible you have to take into account the oil industry's feasibility which is a far larger bribe than the US population can ever give.
Sorry, I'll try to be quieter.
Aye Wave was always "This would be really great if they put a bit more effort into it."
Uhm, it is one site for a presumably limited duration the facts of which are sealed pending a court case.
The 73k sites are only hosted by the main site, and I'd bet the majority of them are dead anyway.
This is a far far cry from China.
