"The court's ruling makes clear the legal rights given to al Qaida members today should exceed those provided to the Nazis during World War II," Graham said. "Our nation is at war. It's truly unfortunate the Supreme Court did not recognize and appreciate that fact." I don't remember Congress declaring war. Did I miss it?
Schrodinger's cat was either alive all along, or dead all along. Nope. That's classical physics. If it agreed with reality, we wouldn't need quantum mechanics.
Where one has measured H/V and the other +/- then they throw the results away because they don't tell them anything useful, but where they've made the same measurement they find they always get the same (or opposite) results. Even without any knowledge of quantum mechanics, I could have told them they'd always get the same or opposite results.
Start your day shaking hands with Mickey and in under 2 hours you can be getting a blow from Minnie! You're talking about getting her to blow your dice at the craps table, right? Right?
I'm mainly a C hacker, but I don't get why people would prefer Python over Java. Assuming that's an honest question...
I wouldn't write a large system with Python, but I use it a lot for quick (say up to 1 kLOC) programs because it has a clean, pseudocode-like syntax for expressing algorithms that is terse without being cryptic. It has enough error checking to help me avoid a lot of mistakes, but not so much that it slows down my hacking. It doesn't necessarily have the best regular expression syntax, or the best performance, etc. etc., but it suits me for the scripts I write.
I'm as much of a pedant as the next guy, but there's no need to get mean about it. Anyway, if "nobody" is a word, as is "cooperate", then why can't "noone" evolve into a valid word? I don't think it would confuse anyone.
Frisbee is another good example. How many people do you know who say they're going to go throw around a "flying disc." You don't hang around anyone who plays Ultimate?
I hear this all the time. But other than reference to this theory, I NEVER hear someone say Kleenex when they just mean tissues. Now Band-Aid, that's a better example. Maybe it's regional. The only thing I ever hear someone call "facial tissues" is "Kleenex".
It looks less like a movie, but moreso a non-interactive video game that we will see in 20 years. I'm going to skip this one. Sorry, there's no such word as "moreso". The word you're looking for is "more". Try it. You'll like it.
You can't be convicted of the same crime twice. Killing a person in a different place on a different day is a different crime. The fact that it's the same person is only new evidence to overturn your prior conviction.
This proof has been for a special case; but the proposition is in fact relatively general. (The reader must, of course, be careful not to confuse relative generality with general relativity.)

...the same medium that rocket exhaust pushes against.
The mission is 7 years long. In that time, wouldn't the heat shield reach thermal equilibrium, and become extremely hot itself, if not melt?
Maybe they're just not going as close as we all think.
Yeah, I dropped the parentheses just to give you a hard time. :-)
There are a lot of tacit assumptions in there, considering we don't even know what consciousness is yet.

Yeah, that's secure. Try this one.
Why not read the article and find out?
Read the GP again. He never said it was ok.
That's, what, 1/5 the cost of one of these homes?
"Darn you"? Not exactly living up to your name there.
Read much?

People are not "innocent until proven guilty". They are presumed innocent until proven guilty. Big difference.
If I kill someone, I'm guilty from the moment I do it, whether or not it's ever proven in court.
It means "length" is the direction electrons flow, and "width" is perpendicular to that, even if that makes "length" smaller than "width".
...the obligatory "current computers are fast enough" comment that we get on every article about new technology.
I can only assume people are reading that as "99% of users are prevented from making edits half the time" which is absurd.
