Why wasn't this brought up by the national media before the election? Oh, that's right, as many democrats wouldn't have voted for him if they knew that...
Right, because as we all know, it was impossible to get any media attention for negative stories about Kerry *cough*swiftboat*cough* no matter what the merits. Too bad there are no right leaning news organizations *cough*foxnews*cough* or media companies *cough*sinclair*cough* that could get the word out on what a bad guy he was.
It may be only because it is new, or it may be that they never will find any positive effect.
Since all we've got is anecdotal evidence, I can only go by what I've seen. I've known a number of families who've tried this treatement. They all pretty much felt like it might be helping but couldn't say for sure. My impression was that they really really wanted it to work.
Nonetheless, it's only fair to note that I've been told I have an abreaction to milk and certain wheat products. This should not be taken as proving the theory, even in just my case, but it certainly doesn't contradict it either.
Have you yourself noticed a reaction? Being told you have a reaction certainly does not prove anything. The things I've read about the gluten/casein theory is that these things get turned into a opium-like substance in the body resulting in a permanent stoned state. This seems to be inspired by the a likening of the autistic experience to that of being high.
If you're autistic, you're almost sure to be allergic to gluten+wheat and milk.
There are no studies showing this to be the case. All evidence about the effectiveness of gfcf diet are entirely anectodal. I'm sceptical because food alergies are often blamed for unexplained medical conditions. I think people like to attribute things to diet because its something they have some control over.
About 99% of cases of autism appear to be caused by heavy metal poisoning insulting the development or function of the brain (there is a perfect overlap between the symptoms of heavy metal poisoning and autism -- because they are the same thing).
Appear to whom? This has not been born out by studies. Currently the only evidence in support of the metal poisoning theory I've seen are from people selling chelation therapy. If you know of any scientific studies to support this I'd love to see them.
People are abusing those benefits Best Buy provides.
Using every loophole available isn't abuse. Its business. Do you think Best Buy's accountants look at some obscure tax regulation and say "well, this would save us alot of money, but it really wasn't meant to be used this way"? I don't think people owe corparations any more moral consideration than corporations typically excersize towards people.
A little karma bump for this AC's post: The author didn't predict *how* the flow would change, just that it would, with very high probability, change. This is *obvious*. Try switching the brain thingy on in future.
Did you read the article? Each sensor monitors the activiation of 1 neuron. But the state of 100 neurons (the limit of the current device) is not sufficient to guage what the brain is trying to do. We don't need smaller sensors, we need alot more of them.
It may seem like a waste of time to you, but to the guy who's going to be using your API or modifying your code it will be a godsend. In any case, you might want to try using a good ide like Intellij. It'll will wrap a statement in an exception handler or add a throws to the method with a single keystroke.

"For my own opinion I prefer unchecked exceptions as the code is far cleaner. "
No, the code will just appear cleaner. Hiding exception propogation is an invitation to ignore exceptions. If someone wraps code in a single catch, you can at least see where they've been sloppy. The equivalent in a non-forced exception check is to do nothing, which is invisible.

The sunspot activity data over recorded history sure seems a hell of a lot more compelling proof that our climate depends directly on the Sun's activity than it does on anything that humans do or don't do
So why not earn yourself some karma and link to a good study showing this?
But it's a lot harder to indulge your anti-capitalist prejudices if the problem is sunspots, so the fear-mongering types do their ignore any astronomical contributions to the global warming debate, and actively supress funding for that line of inquiry if they can.
I have a hard time buying any postion founded on the notion that capitalists in this country are being supressed. Corporations don't usually have much difficulty getting a hearing.
Humans inhale oxygen and exhale CO2. Yet global warming people don't advocate killing everyone in China and India, which would reduce human exhalation of CO2 levels by nearly 40%.
Humans, like all living things are carbon stores. Killing them frees the carbon.
Now here's where the trivia fact comes in. Trees "inhale" CO2 and "exhale" oxygen.
We've come up with many many ways to pump out more of it, and we weren't doing that a few hundred years ago.
I would expect you to provide some evidence showing CO2 levels and the average global temperature from a few hundred years ago.
You'd expect wrong. We weren't pumping massive amounts of oil out of the ground and burning it a few hundred years ago. A few hundred years ago the Amazon rainforest wasn't being razed at breakneck speed. Do everyone a favor and aquaint yourself with the theories before dismissing them.
We need to understand that climates change, always have and always will. We like our current climates, but they won't be here forever, even if we reduce the atmospheric CO2 levels.
You won't be here forever either, but if people were trying to accelerate your death, I doubt you would be so fatalistic. Stopping global warming isn't about halting climate change. Proponents of the global warming theory aren't claiming that the climate does not change naturally. You claim to be an 'informed scientist', but your representation of the views you dismiss are grossly uninformed.

Depends. If you play lots of mmporgs, you'll probably think they are very different. If you play mostly other genres of games, they'll seem essentially the same. Turn based combat, special attacks on timers, role based team play. Both are enourmous time-sinks.
Mozilla = an effort by underdogs to group together and make a better piece of software than Microsoft, not just focus on their big bad enemy and lament their life. Palestinians = well... not that!
Actually MMPORGs are pretty much the only genre of game that the points brought up in the article don't apply to. MMPORGs are long lived, have tons of replay value and don't need cutting edge technology (The most popular MMPORGs today are by and large still the first ones released). There have been attempts to build open source MMPORGs, but so far not much to show for it. Still, I think the problems are more a lack of focus than than anything else.
This is a good illustration of how un-pc it is to be pc now. This poster assumes that the presence of strong female characters must be the result of political conformity - even if they are actually present in the original story.

In a few billion years the universe itself will cool down to uniform starless waste. So it seems the goal of spreading life from earth is as irrelevant as any other. Now that we've established that its all going to come to naught, I think fixing up the planet is a more appealing activity than being spores.
"No, it was the federal law that required convicted felons be removed from voter registration lists. Did you actually read the article you linked?"
If thats what they had done, then there would have been no discussion. What they actually did though was remove thousands of non-felons. No they didn't program the database, but they did tell the company doing the work to use very loose criteria for matching names, thereby ensuring many false positives.

If you are that paranoid, you ought to drive. And the fewer people flying, the better. I remember the days when planes often had empty seats and travel was a lot more comfortable, even in the tiny seats.
You think planes are more crowded because more people are flying, and that if less people flew, there would suddenly be vacant seats on planes? I guess if I told you it had more to do with airlines trying to maximize profits, you'd say I was just another paranoid conspiracy nut.
