This child is offending and insulting noone. She did an experiment which had a set of results (whether statistically significant or otherwise).
If people, white or black, continue to be over-sensitive to race issues then how will we ever as a single race be able to distinguish between real race issues such as violent racial attacks, and issues which are caused by people making no effort to understand others.
We take communication for granted, but it is a skill which I believe should be taught in schools because we are all so poor at it (myself included).
Stephen Covey, in his bestselling book, The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, even has as a fundamental principle: Seek First To Understand, Then To Be Understood. It's hard to do, but worth it.
My point is: if the girl had no malicious intentions then why are people inferring them? This reaction is extraordinary and I believe does nothing but harm race relations, not protect them.
Well, if you'd care to back any of this opinion with some science people might believe you. Otherwise, I hope like myself, they will simply dismiss this as unfounded opinion and wait for something based on reality to appear.
These our actors, as I foretold you, were all spirits and are melted into air, into thin air; and like the baseless fabric of this vision, the cloud-capp'd towers, the gorgeous palaces, the solemn temples, the great globe itself, yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve; and, like this insubstantial pageant faded, leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff as dreams are made on, and our little life is rounded with a sleep. -- Shakespeare, The Tempest, Act IV
Er... don't ASP's just dynamically generate HTML? Wouldn't the LaTeX equivalent therefore just dynamically create LaTeX markup in exactly the same way?
The age of the universe is a contentious subject and relate directly to the value of the infamous Hubble constant. This constant is a metric indicating the expansion rate of the universe.
Current estimates for the universes age lie between 8 billion and 14 billion years old (there are other esimates but these two are popular and are based on different measuring methods). The reason it's interesting to look at galactic clusters this far away is because it can help to determine the age of the universe by looking at the emmission spectra of the stars. In some models, older stars are thought to have very different structures because the elements available in the early universe were different (less diverse because less fusion creating the heavier elements had occurred). So we can use this data to give us more information about the universes age.
5 billion years ago (the time when this cluster's light headed out towards us) has a very different interpretation if the universe is 8 billion years old compared to 14 billion, because we're either looking at data from a universe 30% old (i.e quite young) compared with its current age, or 64% (old enough to look substantially different).
Select * would be meaningless in this context,so you couldn't use it anyway. The URLs data is not in columns, so you have to select a comma separated list of functions which operate on the data.
Dur.
The US is generally agreed to be a very slow adopter of mobile phone technology, which is very unusual since you're way ahead of the UK as far as web stuff goes.
For example SMS messaging isn't a big thing in the US, but over here (UK & Europe) it's the next biggest thing since email.
As far as I can tell, Italy has the most advanced uptake and decent mobile phone services. You can get mobile phone services that double up as email and will read your emails to you over the phone. And it's cheaper to dial your ISP using your mobile phone than a land line in Italy!!! Incredible.
I think it's amazing that there aren't more phones with integrated MP3 players. It's such an obvious thing to do, isn't it?
Who else agrees?
It couldn't be a better service provider

Orange are consistently rated the best provider of customer service in the UK - I'm certainly a very happy customer and they didn't have to pay me to say that.

I wonder if the young Miss Thielen had been a black girl whether the teachers would have been so hasty to pull her project...?

I thought it was "Quantum particles: the dreams that stuff is made of" and I thought it was Paul Davies that said it...

you are kerrrayzee man.
Most WLANs support 40 and 128bit encryption. Eavesdropping is irrelevant. Unless you happen to be listening with your own quantum computer.
That is the funniest sig I've seen!
Anyone else near Clapham Junction fancy joining together to do this? I have a WLAN in my office.

I can't believe more phones don't offer this. It's such an obvious and cool piece of functionality to add to a phone. Who else agrees?
