... and does this not trigger some skepticism from you? ZERO disagreement in scientific circles throws a red flag for me. When have 932 people (give or take a few due to multiple authorship) universally agreed on anything that isn't as axiomatic as 2 + 2 = 4?
And lets factor into that probability that the issue is EXTREMELY poltically charged on all sides.
And when, please oh please, in the course of human history, has a socially impacting position ever survived contact with a reactionary force without becoming dogmatic in and of itself?
I'll save you the trouble here.. and here's an axiom we all can live by.... politics ALWAYS destroys objectivity. Nothing is immune. Hegemony will repress and contrarians will coalesce and radicalize.
It could be said that universal agreement is in fact universal agreement, but without legitimate debate, even 10 to 1 disagreeing, on a subject so massive in scope, that simply succumbing to one side (or reacting in opposition) due to such an appearance of universialty does nothing to the position except increase it's dogmatic power!
Has it occured to you that the academic scientists might just be as controlled by the peer reviewers who control their purse strings as the industry scientists? Lack of dissention doesn't pass my smell test, in light of the heavy politics.
In short.... the jury is still out... and that's the most objective position to take.
Why wouldn't you believe the swedish police would have a public information officer, especially for a situation affecting one of the largest and most public sites in the country?
It's not like they have Dick Cheney running things!
the hosted service is exactly the same as the standard gmail service, as far as i can tell... no integration with outlook or evolution or whatever else.. but i don't really care about that.
what i'm enjoying about gmail hosted is that i no longer have to manage my old postfix/ldap/cyrus/spamassassin set up... for small domains like mine, that's worth more than anything!
Not real scientists huh? Well we'll see what you say when we take another one of your labs and lock you people out of the bathroom on the 3rd floor!!!!
if you grew up in a hard-core strict biblical creationist family like I did, you might be familiar with the "water curtain" nonsense.
Here it goes:
pre-flood there was no water on the earth.. it was all below the surface and... get this folks... above the atmosphere in a great belt called the "water curtain"
methuselah and the other ancient patriarchs lived during this time when the water curtain filtered out cosmic rays and UV radiation that create the free radicals which we now know are the main cause of aging.
I know it's true! Some guy who read a book by some guy who read a book by some guy who read the bible told me so!!
e think that a better defense mechanism is taking two weeks longer to starve to death so we can eat you scrawny arrogant bastards as you drop like flies.
And where do you think the fat to fry the scrawny arrogant bastards will come from?
Would someone be so kind as to point out to me just WHERE in the Constitution exists a supermajority requirement for ANYTHING, let alone "such inferior courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish." Congress could, theoretically, remove completely the confirmation function of the Senate for all non-SCOTUS judges.
Oh, and it's the responsibility of ALL branches of the federal government to enforce the Constitution. The constitutionality objection is part of the rules of procedure of BOTH houses and probably has been so since 1789.
I'm both amazed and dismayed that/. actually has a lower level of political discourse than K5!!
You forget that insurance companies, being financial enterprises, are regulated by a whole slew of laws and alphabet agencies in dozens of jurisdictions.
Accordingly, there is a great deal more competition between cable companies than there is for the RIAA cabal, which has no such legal restrictions
Every... ahem.. interaction I've had with belkin tech support in recent years has been irreparably harmed by a... umm.... LANGUAGE BARRIER *cough*hindustani*cough*.
Seriously, take everything they say with a grain of salt, they're of little help with genuine problems. I stay away from anything belkin i can't easily return to the store.

i didn't even RTFM but who needs anything but common sense to know that hormonal teens are less interested in gaming and more interested in fucking?

A) it's not WiMax, it's EVDO

C) Can you screw me over now? Good!

You pronounced it wrong. Everyone knows...
IT'S A TWAP!!!
And where do you think the fat to fry the scrawny arrogant bastards will come from?
actually... it depends on the country of launch.
See the Outer Space Treaty of 1967 which is international law.
Jurisdiction is the responsibility of the launching state, accordingly.
