Yes, I have heard of them, but a couple of cranks who write books doesn't make a scientific theory.
What research have they done? Where can I find their papers? How many biologists support their position?
Yes, I have made up my mind. 150 years of finding evidence and doing research is a fairly serious questioning of reality IMO. The fact is that this mountain of evidence and research points to evolution.
*You* are kidding yourself if you think you're being open minded by accepting the creationist dogma. You wouldn't happen to be a fundamentalist Christian would you? If so, why aren't you questioning the "reality" (fairy tale) *they* have been shoving down your throat?
What about the Nazis? They'd be pretty high up the list don't you think?
Do you suppose that the native american population was decimated by marauding bands of atheists? And hey, don't forget all those millions of Africans that were enslaved by those evil atheists.
If you're talking some religious bullshit, then where is your evidence for it? (There isn't any.)
Talking about 'strongest theory in the mix' is rather dishonest when the 'strength' of your favoured "theory" is nonexistent. Do you even know the definition of the word theory in science?
No, I like my Gnome Tranfer Manager just fine thankyouverymuch.
It's their site that's broken. If they really must ensure that people hand over their details before downloading, then there are ways of doing it that don't fuck things up.
Some fuckwit in charge of the site there has decided to disallow downloading if they don't get a HTTP referrer. This breaks my download manager, and there's no way I'm going to get 130Mb on 56k modem before my ISP session time limit is up.
The leading compressor there gets 1.8226 bits per byte on a large archive consisting of several different data types (text, images, code).
If you're just talking plain english text, then a dedicated text compressor can do a bit better through the use of a large dictionary file. Not much better though, general compression algorithms are amazingly good.
Tried hdparm to get your disks working at full speed? That's all I had to do on a PIII 666 for decent capture. The low-latency stuff in 2.6 should improve this too.

Maybe it's a trademark thing on the 'Convea' name. I suppose if you want to take the GPL licensed version and sell it, then you should call it something else.
I don't recall that Ringworld mentioned exactly how many wires there were between a pair of squares. The one that got snapped didn't result in a catastrophic failure, so you have to assume there were more than two at least. It could have been thousands, or millions I suppose.

"Also, Native American culture didn't believe that land could be owned, therefore, if they didn't own it, it couldn't be "stolen" from them..."
So... what are your thoughts about ownership of atmospheric oxygen? Probably not part of your culture, hey? Thought as much.
Well, don't mind this oxygen extractor I got here. I mean, if you don't own the oxygen, what do you care if I take it all away.
It gives a figure of 44% creationist beliefs in the US. I can't find results for Australia, but there is no way we have that level of ignorance here. People are generally well educated here, and the average person would laugh at anyone professing belief in Creationism.
The 'Monopoly' RAM image on the site is saved at a point where there is a sequence of 'double-ups' where only the last, and most valuable spin loses.
From the 12, go "Low" to get a 4.
From the 4, go "High" to get a 6.
From the 6, go "Low" to get a 2.
From the 2, go "High" to get a 4.
From the 4, go "High" to get a 5.
But they don't mention if choosing a losing bet results in the same outcome in the first few spins. e.g. from the 12, do you still get a 4 if you go "High"?
Thanks, I would have been surprised if they had made software backups illegal.
It seems that those writing the copyright laws are concerned only about what businesses want, so we get reasonable rights for corporations, who are mostly users of software, not producers. OTOH, millions of MP3 users get shafted by ARIA and co.
What is this limit then? As far as I could find out, about 40 K (yes Kelvin) is the lower limit for doped silicon, because the dopants 'freeze out' at that point.
I assume you mean 0 degrees celsius when you say 'below zero', so how does the freezing point of water have anything to do with the performance of silicon semiconductors vs temperature?

There is no competing scientific theory.

Speaking as an Australian, I'm very glad that you are totally incorrect.

Got a reference for that?
AFAICT, making copies for back-up, bugfixing or security testing is still excepted in the Australian copyright law.
I think you're more likely to get a GNU/FOAD from RMS on that one....

Nicholas Petreley is a raving loony creationist.
Of course he's not going to like anything involving Evolution. Or bonobos, or any other s^hXimian.
Definitely worth a read. Peter F. Hamilton seemed to like it too, judging by his quote on the back cover.
No, don't read it, it's crap!
But anyway, in the novel the squid didn't do anything that an intelligent aardvark or funnel-web spider couldn't have done. Why squid ffs?
