Is being more able to reproduce. Those who don't or can't are evolutionary dead ends.
With that in mind, the single parent with 5 kids on welfare is a superior human than your genius physics professor with no children. The concept of a moral superiority comes from the ignorant religious bigot sector. Neanderthals were not sub human, they were human, by definition if they were able to interbreed with humans and produce viable offspring.
Something that a lot of programmers just don't get. Maybe comp.sci graduates would understand that better, they bloody well should if they've been educated properly.
Correct... Or rather, go check the average salaries of physicists. Not exactly stellar, clearly physicists aren't particularly valued within society, there simply isn't a large demand. However, it like the other hard sciences is a good way of getting into other fields.
I wouldn't particularly advise anyone to go into physics, or chemistry or biology... any science... the money is shit. Engineering is the place to be, chemical, electrical, civil etc.
Um, it was pretty bloody clear right from the word go that it was going to end up in a guerrilla warfare situation and a decades long occupation. The idea that it would be all over in a year or two was utterly utterly naive. More, the unwillingless to listen to an ally who has spent the last 40 years managing a situation just like that is stupidity.
In conclusion, either the man is a complete dolt or has a whole other agenda.
An inflatable, sponge based still. The base of the unit is 10cm thick black polyeurethane sponge the glass is simply clear inflatable tubing.. Instead of land, you float it out on the sea. hmm, it occurs that I should patent this.
Har har, get the pun? Just plaster some greenhouses over a beech, paint the base of the unit black. Suck the resulting vapour out and condense in the seawater. You could go as far as making them float. Hell, they could be made inflatable.
Are web sites (and the corresponding fuckwit designers) who assume that a browser window is exactly 1024 pixels wide... I happen to run my process bar down the right hand side rather than at the bottom of the screen, this takes away perhaps 100 pixels and the number of web sites this fucks up is absolutely staggering. btw having the process bar at the side allows you to read the name of each window no matter how many of them there are, it makes far more sense than having it at the bottom.
The problem isn't running out of water, the problem is the economics of the privatised utilities.
Everyone pays a flat rate for their water so there is absolutely no reason to conserve any water at all. On the utilities side, they get paid exactly the same whether half the water is leaked out of the pipes into the ground or whether it's delivered. Maintenence then simply reduces their profits.
The solution, which will fix both problems is water meters. That way the individual household pays for every litre they pour onto their grass and BMW 3 series. The utilities also then only get paid for litres of water which are actually delivered to the customer, not for water which leaks into the ground. At the moment with flat rate water supply, the low water users are heavily subsidising high users of water, including businesses.
Scotland on the other hand has far more water than we need. How does 20p/litre sound?
You are proceeding from an invalid position, and that is, the presumption that politicians are a force for good, or at least, that one might be a force for less evil.
Actually I'm not. I'm proceeding on a statistical basis. By not voting you are implicitly aiding the incumbent, republican, democrat or whatever to continue without requiring change. While I agree with many of your points, doing nothing just makes things worse, if you really believe them you should instead always vote for instability, with the first past the post system that means voting for the second placed party, and encouraging other people to do the same. If you really want to change the system there are a number of tactics which can be used to maximise your influence. If you can't be arsed... well then shut the fuck up, I don't want to hear your whining.
So you get the average tags rather than the tags of people who have previously tagged things similarly. Just consider it tag pollution, it'll be included in the kyoto protocol, meaning you're stuffed if you live in the US.
My brother has both, I got him a cheap point & shoot for £50 (post xmas, great time to buy), being a photo snob he later got himself an £N00 DSLR. Guess which gets by far most use. The point&shoot is tiny so its always there.
BTW, THE most important aspect of a digital camera is... battery life. There are loads of cameras with decent lenses, millions of pixels yada yada yada but they never tell you the battery is only going to last 20 minutes.
1. Not voting isn't a neutral action, it helps the incumbent.
2. Even if you do know every policy of all of candidates, you're not going to agree with all of the policies of any one candidate. This is a feature of the electoral system folding politics into two parties. Until the electoral system is reformed the best you can possibly do is vote on broad general principles.
The understanding of evolution and natural selection in these "interesting" and "insightful" posts is abysmal.
Humans do continue to evolve, contrary to your belief. All that is required is that some people produce more offspring than others. At the moment that would be the poorest portion of society. They are significantly outbreeding the rich and well educated. In addition, when choosing a mate, humans try to choose someone who is physically attractive and physically and mentally healthy. Those who are physically unattractive or ill tend not to reproduce, or have fewer offspring.
You're trying to have a logical argument with people who can't by definition follow it. They believe the universe was created in 7 days FFS. It's a waste of time.
btw, the point at which a bunch of cells becomes a human being is the point at which it's capable of surviving outwith the mother's body. Until that point it's not a viable human being.
They're not worried about the OSS community. Not even a little.
Actually they are, otherwise they wouldn't have made the threat. The problem with Linux being free is that it massively reduces the value of the OS as a commodity item. This is a tactic to force people into an expensive alternative to push value back into that portion of the market.
Their problem is that every piece of software in existence probably infringes on half a dozen patents at least and Microsoft are easily the largest single target in existence. Patents are like nuclear weapons, you can't really afford to use them against someone because they and others will use them against you, they'll have no choice because you've demonstrated your willingness to use your own. It's game theory.

China is a totalitarian capitalist state... Hmm, I wondered where Rove got his ideas from.

They just speak a little sslloowweerr and LOUDER! The natives usually catch on.
But you can tag him "fuckwit".

Somewhere on your home LAN. Your web page latency will reduce substantially.

IPV4 has been fine so far...
Can someone remind me again why we didn't go OSI instead? Rather than re-inventing the wheel again, that is. Oh yeah, design by committee...
IPV6 has been defined by a working group, not a committee... That's ok then...
C'mon, give me a reason to upgrade. What do I get out of it?

Why would you choose Linux over any other unix? It's primary benefit is licensing and cost. A benefit you now clearly lose by choosing SuSE.

You think a single cell is a human being? Don't be ridiculous.
