Read my other comments and you'll see I agree. I don't understand why so many are ignoring interresting phenomena and patterns just because you dislike those noting them. It would be like ignoring gravity because you can't prove how it propigates and some priest is saying his god is making gravity.
Well, there you go. Maybe you can look at the geological and cosmological record to prove or disprove the hypothesis. As a pseudo-atheist I know that just as much good science comes from disproving a "bad" hypothesis as comes from proving "good" ones. I also know that putting blinders on to any approach to answering or asking questions is foolhardy.
But as a mostly-rational creature I find it interesting that all these physical phenomena do coincide in a system that is supposedly inherently entropic and prone to chaos. When you look at a satellite image and see a perfectly straight line in the forest in the middle of nowhere you have to at least be curious.
Just because you (and I mean you) can't fathom an experiment to prove a hypothesis does not invalidate the hypothesis. It just makes it an unproven hypothesis.
But it is interresting to ponder how one would test Intelligent Design. Modify some physical constant and see what happens? How long would such an experiment last? Would looking at different periods of the history of the universe and checking for existance of like. After all, according to the BB these constants have changed.

Most wake up and realize that the company views them the same way they view the janitors: necessary maintenance workers. Few companies have "career paths" for IT staff. Start thinking about fast food franchise opportunities or working your way into managment.
Here we see the ugly underbelly of liberal media again. The NSA still conforms to the 4th Amendment. Just because some liberal, Bush bashing, hack shilling a book thinks otherwise don't make it true.
Before you flame me or mod me a troll please try both IDEs. I did. Eclipse is flaky and slow. Visual Stuio is slick and fast. Right now I use SciTe editor but I'm gonna be using Visual Studio if I have to write a free PHP plugin myself. I develop for a living and when it comes to productivity I just cannot use an IDE that flakes out or bogs down every 30 seconds. Even Zend Studio is a bugfest. I'm not gonna pay for the privledge of debugging someone else's software.
I'm sure even Sony's dimwit management has to realize that they are losing sales due to slipping consumer trust. As media devices become more intelligent, the opportunities for manufacturers to secretely audit and control your use of media will increase. Trust wil become more and more important. Two years ago Sony was on my golden halo list of clever manufacturers. First I bought a Vaio computer and ran into severe issues upgrading the OS. Then I noticed that they keep pushing for proprietary formats for encoding and storage. Now this. Today a guy brought in a nifty looking PSP and all I could think of was what DRM easter eggs are waiting for the unwitting consumer.
Reading between the lines on question #12 and you'll see SuSe has a combined 60% share but Ubantu, a relative newcomer, already has 53%. Realistically I'd say SuSe is way ahead in terms of an enterprise ready system. They just need some more polish.
I never liked Superman because he was too perfect. Someone with that kind of power remaining uncorrupt just never jibed with reality. Superman has been redefined though. Shows like Smallville have been rehabilitating Superman into a more believable character. Older comics seemed to gloss over Superman's internal motivations. But that is changing. Even so, most of the time writers still blame Superman's moral missteps on foreign elements such as red kryptonite or mind controlling aliens.
Won't comment much on the anti-American rhetoric buuut....at least we are trying to do something. Add to that we are very open about our own problems and choose to face them rather than hide them or pretend they don't exist.
Long before "Open Source" meant software is was in widespread use in the military intel community to refer to publicly available information such as news and publications. In fact, it is still used that way.
What NY services does he consume? Should he also expect fractional benefits? NY and California suck ass and deserve shitty economies. Tyrany of the populos states.
My big complaint about OpenDocumentSchemas are that they rely on RelaxNG that has poor support in developer tools. It also adds another layer of confusion for customers who are veeery reluctant to accept non-W3C standards.
Novell has all the components of a solid business, just not the vision. Just look at their homepage - does it tell you who they are or what they have planned for the future?
****NEWS FLASH*****
Today the EU has pledged before the UN to create a new UN controlled Daylight Saving Time system. Emperor Bono of the EU declared this pre-emtive strike a hit back at US hegemony over Savings time.

Can't do ain't the best approach to science.
Physical property X can vary from Y to Z but it doesn't. Slightest variation in X would preclude life.
Ex: Boiling point of water, melting point of ice, enzymatic reactions, patterns of moulcules and crystals, etc....
2. Hypothesis
Possibly, some external stimulus is arranging the observed phenomena to ensure a suitable environment to enable life to exist.
3. Experiment
Like gravity, we are still looking for answers on how it works at the physical level and how to verify.
4. Results
...see 3.

Look at the diagram. They use a motified version.
Here are a few downsides off hand:
* More parts == higher maintenance (pumps, special catalytic convertor, etc)
*at least 24 ft of piping that may be impacted by even minor collisions
*Steam systems extra sensitive to corrosion from impurities in coolant.

The other folks are drinking booze instead.
Virtually every morning TV and Radio show gets their matierial from bloggers and pseudo reporters.

I never intentionally clicked a banner AD but I frequenty click on Google's sponsor links because they are often exactly what I'm looking for.
Chirac will blame this on Bush.
You mean spelling.

Glad to see we've become so much more enlightened.
Maybe it was a dream but I remember taking the tram ride for a few minutes into a secret lab where an experiment had gone horribly, horribly wrong.
From what I've seen, stocking free M&Ms goes a long way to job satisfaction.
