Citing Sokal's hoax in an argument against peer review is odd since Social Text was not at the time a peer-reviewed journal. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sokal_affair
The rules change as you get into different environments, but you still have to follow them. In the "real world" all of the tests are open-book, but they are often timed, and 90% is usually a failing grade.
Thank you for saying this. IRBs exist for a reason and it's concerning to see an article like this essentially saying "Hey kids! Go do some human experimentation!"
Still the reason why cop abuse stories hit the news so hard is because it isn't commonplace
That, plus police are in a position of strong public trust. When a cop does wrong, people feel extra-betrayed (as well they should). That goes double when it's someone high-ranking, and triple when that person is or appears to be covering for his or her underlings' misbehavior. Police are held to a higher standard by the public; they should be held to that standard by law and practice, but often are not, which fuels discontent.
In addition, we never see any cops condemn poor behavior by other cops. And by "poor behavior" I mean tasing kids to death and rank corruption. I believe that 95% of cops are good people, but it would be a lot easier if PDs ever gave any impression that they knew it was possible for cops to screw up.
1. Very few Unitarian Universalists of my acquaintance (and I grew up UU) refer to themselves as Christians, and the ones who do are the ones who are Christians.
2. I think that many theists would see my beliefs (which are within Taoism) as atheistic. I think that a lot of atheists (especially "New Atheists") would say that my beliefs are non-atheistic because they have too much higher power and magical thinking in them. It's really a matter of how you define "atheist".
3. I've played in D&D games with atheist clerics. It's really up to the DM how and even whether to justify giving atheists access to god-granted powers. Maybe there is some force that contains these powers, and you don't actually need a god to access it. Maybe some god (probably a trickster god) finds atheism amusing and is granting powers to the cleric for fun. Maybe gods do not in fact exist at all, and the atheist cleric has simply learned how to dispense with the mumbo-jumbo. It's your world. Tell a good story.
The largest act of terrorism in the United States before 9/11 was perpetrated by Timothy McVeigh, a lapsed Catholic with no connection with extreme elements of Islam. Domestic terrorism is a significant threat, and a government that treats Islamic terrorism as the only problem is not protecting the country.
I suspect that if this were an offline tool, the number of users would be less by 2-3 orders of magnitude. It's also easier to make it compatible with mutiple OSes, since you can put the UI stuff in Flash and do the heavy font work on the server where you control the environment.
The site has the ability to produce fonts that access an impressive set of Unicode blocks. Not Unihan, but most of the alphabets and syllabaries. People may not create the characters for those blocks, but that is not the fault of the site.
Good for you, (and I do mean that sincerely) but I'm pretty sure you can't translate "I got out of a foreign language requirement at my school because I could demonstrate how my knowledge of Perl, Python, and C++ equated to knowledge of different human languages" into a C++ statement that can be correctly understood by someone who knows C++ and not English. It's that kind of full range of expression that is considered necessary to call something a language.
if sign language counts as a "foreign language", then so should any advanced programming language;) You may want to educate yourself about ASL before you make blanket statements like that. Programming languages aren't anything like it.
Well, you should certainly make sure there's no malware left over from a previous owner on any device you give to your children. (Or use yourself, for that matter.)
Thanks. I wasn't aware of that. I don't think it's sufficient, though, and I'm not sure if there's a good way to know that an article is deleted or just absent.
Creating a wiki for deleted WP articles would be doable if you didn't need to be an admin to see a deleted article. That's the policy that turns deletionism from an annoyance into a scourge.

The genitive of bracchium is bracchii or bracchi, not bracchiumis.
A lot of vpr systems do just that. Also, dictation systems display what you've typed on the screen, so you can correct by voice if necessary.

Not 99! You'll destroy the world, you fool!

Thank you for saying this better than I would have.

I had a similar reaction as soon as I saw "". Would it kill Crockford to quote attribute values?

Fair enough. But nobody seems to think it's 2nd-declension masculine.
