The fallancy here is that the word "choice" hasn't been defined sufficiently. Your post gives me the impression that you are assuming that to make a "choice" cannot be a physical phenomena. This will force those who believe in reductionism to come to a, possibly incorrect, conclusion that none of our actions are a matter of "choice".
I think would be possible to find a good definition of "choice" which does not assuming it must be a non-physical phenomena, a definition that would be much more useful.
I seriously hope you arn't suggesting that you think it would be ok to indefinitly hold the burglar in your basement, exacting various forms of torture? If not, your analogy fails to be analogous. If you do, well...
Not liking the actions of others does not give you a carte blanche to exact punishment of your choice.
Uhm... If you actually read the article, you'd have notice that they have not given a guarantee of a federal trial. Thus he could be sent to Guantanamo without one.
I started getting slightly tired of all the unexpected failures while using windows, so i glued the reboot button so it's constantly performing planned reboots and haven't had a failure since!
Google can be frustrating, especaially if your search terms center around things like "C++".
Google seems to be giving me quite nice results for some random terms i tried. Exactly how is searching for "C++" stuff a problem? (Didn't even need to quote it)
This would be accurate if the neither patients nor anyone involved in the operation knew of the praying being done. So, if you said "5% of the time, knowing that someone prays on one's behalf shows a statistically significant effect.", then i'd be more willing to agree assuming it could be backed up with studies.
Not only do the average/.'er have a natural instinct that triggers every year on april 1st, and many even dread the day weeks in advance. Even if the site operated like any other day and attempted to hide a single well constructed hoax amongst a slew of real articles, it wouldn't work on more than a handfull of idiots.
The survival instinct will make the readers doubt every single story they read, scarred by memories of their first time surfing the net on april fool's day.
Well, as always some people only read the/. summary. As entertaining as that is, it's not very informative. They claim to have produced much stronger than expected gravitational waves. Nothing 'artificial' about it, you can even make some of your own if you got the right equipment.
If you are sitting on one of those rotating chairs, position the chair away from tables etc. Then start spin around fast, you will now be producing gravitational waves. The amount of gravitational waves you produce depends on your mass and how fast you spin. If you achieve high enough angular velocity you may observe the gravitational effect on nearby objects.
Well, the button on the right that says "Download" *could* be misread as "Send me Viagra". But that's just cause I don't really have very high expectations when it comes to the intelligence of humans in general.
That "oversees", which quite obviously was meant to be "overseas" in this context, was incidentally the correct spelling of another word with completely different meaning does not make it a grammatical, rather than a spelling, mistake. The submitter obviously, or so I would assume, intended to write "overseas". Thus it was incorrect spelling as the error happened at that layer.
For every word you type, there are quite a few (actually alot of) words within just one edit distance and the chances of hitting one of them is significant. Chance doesn't change a spelling mistake into a grammatical mistake even though it may be difficult in some cases to determine which type of mistake accrued.
The above rant was in fact just a minor mis-spelling, I actually intended to write: "Grammar Police suxxors!"
They are comparing the progression of the disease *after* the signs have been detected. People with higher levels of education manage to tolerate the effects of the disease longer before the signs appear. Thus Alzheimer is detected at later stages in those people.
If you are rolling down a hill and realize what's happening later than the others, you'll find yourself going faster.
Guess they were a bit stupid to build it on US soil then. I'm sure they can find some uninhabited islands out in the Pacific where they may be allowed to use their bandwidth however they want.

Seriously... At work and you're browsing a _very_ pink /. site and clicked on a link to a site selling UNICORN T-SHIRT's.
A penis would only help improve your abysmal image at work, even in the form of an unicorn's phallic symbol.

Well, 4 MB is also the size of a page in the x86 architecture.
I wouldn't mind saying something stupid if it ended up being one of those quotes that people laugh about in a hundered years.
We already got one such quote about everything being invented already, there's not really much room for another.
True, and even if that was not the case, where would we put the Bootloader Recoverer recoverer?
Blind as a bat, ne?
Not entirely familiar with Jave, but does it include any debug information, like breakpoints, in the class files?

Uhm... wouldn't that be 100% that are "using the Internet 'Just for Fun'"?
Yes, photons are known to travel at light speed. Nothing new to see here.
I don't care what you're saying, I won't stop looking over my shoulder. Global Warming has a big nerf bat and she's not afraid to use it.
Mmmm... that's *alot* of noodles.

I think it would be big news if a police officer pulled over an university library asking to search their premises.
Say, are you perhaps one of those viral marketers I've been reading about on PA?
