You're making the same assumptions that record companies make. Congratulations.
You should congratulate the *AAs on the effectiveness of their propaganda. Bravo, asshole oligarchs, gotta hand it to you: You sure do know how to manufacture consent.
As Japan is situated in a volcanic zone along the Pacific deeps, frequent low-intensity earth tremors and occasional volcanic activity are felt throughout the islands. Destructive earthquakes occur several times a century.
Why is anyone wasting any time on useless technology like this? Is it based on consumer demand? If so then consumers need some basic physics and electronics lessons. This is not Star Trek, people, we can't "beam" your [data] to you via subspace, the inverse-square law fully applies, this is not ever going to be efficient or practical! [communication] things require [phone] cords, get over it!
You'd be ranting about horseless carriages if you were living a hundred years ago.
Humans have diferentiated from that branch point, and so have chimps. Bonobos, Orangs, Gorillas, and a bunch of other species which are now extinct, have branched at other times. So how does this justify saying that humans are apes?
So you're saying that gorillas and chimps can't be called apes because they branched long ago?
If this fossil is 4.4 million years old and already shows great deviations from our most recent known common ancestor and there are several variations that we know of us between us and this specimen, how then do we explain that none of these numerous intermediate species survive today, especially since they must have survived long enough to evolve into us?
I mean aside from yetis, bigfoot, and the like.
We killed them all, and if not all then the rest died because their ecosystem is long gone. The world has changed a lot in the last million years (a glacier ate them, if you will).
Interesting. I thought words meant what they mean, like "ancestry" denoting biological descent.
not any more than a naturally occurring sequence of mutations
Well, self-evidently false. See the part about "words meaning what they mean".
You may be too stupid and or too dishonest to understand what it means: "A group of organisms is said to have common descent if they have a common ancestor."
If you clone something, even if you muck about its genes, it still has the same ancestors, dumb dumb.
From what I have seen, you are too earnest and concerned about your karma to be trolling.
Maybe he just wants his trolling to be highly visible. Remember that trolls always adamantly deny their trolling: "I'm a fan of [x], but [thing x is renowned for] sucks." and so forth.
Why is different just because somebody else (another team) is doing the power-grabbing and warmongering and denigrating the opposition?
One candidate was singing about bombing Iran, one was saying diplomacy should be brought back, you call them both warmongers?
You've got blinders on. Obama was the lesser of two evils: he's not undoing the increments-to-fascism that Bush enacted, but he's not pushing for more. Wake up to that already.
There are, however, plenty of Americans of every race that have been awakened to the goings-on in the US government and joining in opposing them [...] But, go ahead and dismiss all this as racist tea-bagging. Now that it's not W running the show, I guess is okay that the wars (and funding for them) are continuing, that the illegal wiretapping is being even more vociferously defended, that federal agents can write their own warrants and continue to do so, and the widening income gap will continue to widen as the rich are bailed out and the middle class is left to pick up the tab.
All of a sudden, they're awakened to those issues! Funny how all those same goings ons were fine by them when there wasn't a black man in the white house.
It is a dam shame that the new boss is the same as the old boss, but it's a really HUGE coincidence that the same policies suddenly frighten some that didn't mind them before, and that the new boss is different in one very visible way. Huge coincidence.
Am I the only only one who doesn't like that everyone all the time know what I am doing, if i'm online or if i'm available for a chat? Or whatever other people are doing. I abandoned MSN messenger for that sole purpose a few years ago, and facebook too.
I'm gonna blow your mind: You can, get this, not log in! Like, if you're not in the mood for some "what's up?" time, you don't have to close your account and uninstall the application, you can simply turn it off and refrain from inputting any information.
I don't mean to seem curt (it's late and I'm off to bed), but please check out one of the links I posted. Both cover your question pretty thoroughly. Thanks.
I see, well I should have looked at those earlier then, thanks for sharing. Though I gotta say, now I wonder about the toxicity of the products... but in the future where they thaw a head, they can probably detoxify those as well. Carry on then, your money, your funeral, your informed choice (and it does seem informed).
First, I never heard of the site before. Is it really popular? Am I just out of the loop?
Well, it made slashdot, I can't decide if that's popular or unpopular.
How many nerds does it take to make something popular? It's got to be a few orders of magnitude more than how many hot babes... toughy. If only there was a place where I could ask that question.
As a photojournalist, I think it would be interesting to see just how many photos in fashion magazines are airbrushed or otherwise manipulated after the fact.
not Photoshop. As long as fashion models have to be under normal weight to be accepted for the top fashion shows and magazines, young girls will follow this role model and that is the real problem
The law isn't about discriminating against skinny people, it's about the *impossible* standard of beauty that photoshopped models create. The pretty people in the magazines are photo-realistic fictions based on the image of a real person that has been heavily modified before going to print. And not everyone, especially not young kids, is aware of that. The girls, however, will always find imperfections on their bodies to worry about, that's just human nature, but they have enough on their plate without fixating on fictional people.
And what makes you think women wants to know what men like? They compete between themselves to see which one is the most beautiful, they dont need to make any efforts to appeal to men.
Percentage of the men in the room looking at the girl also counts in the final score. That's why they make so many blatant efforts to appeal to men, which you seem to have somehow gone all your life without noticing.

Or maybe that was yesterday...
He socialist communist nazi antichrist fascist muslim black-supremacist [insert bad thing here], and NO ONE who opposes him is racist. Not. One.

obviously not derived from any actual Philosophy or Philosophy of Science studies or history.
Do you have any "philosophy of trolling" to quote from?
'cause you sure do sound like a duck and walk like a duck.

Pretty obscure information, but now you know.
Darwinism has been disproved already, so I do not understand the attempts of science in that direction.
Could you show where Darwinism has been disproved?
I did not say evolution was disproved completely
You should be ashamed at what you did there.
Monkeys have come from somewhere too - maybe humans are just another race from the same point, not related to monkeys in any way.
Well, humans come from apes, not monkeys.
Humans are apes.
Slightly more clever than the other apes. Slightly less hairy. But much more full of themselves.
Do you also want the system like Canada where doctors end up working as janitors?
Do you trust the medical schools of Zambia?

Plants have cell walls. (it's what allows them to stand up) Animals, including homo sapiens, have cell membranes only.
Huh, I'd managed to forget that... thanks for the info :)
signed up for cryonic suspension
What about the ice crystals destroying all your cell walls?
Is it true what they say about under-30s in America, thinking they are so smart when in fact, they're not?
That's true of everyone everywhere.

Being government (and French...) you know there won't be a reasonable definition of "altered", which means the notice must be included on all photos
That is an odd assumption to make.
As a photojournalist, I think it would be interesting to see just how many photos in fashion magazines are airbrushed or otherwise manipulated after the fact.
Every single one.

the women in women's magazines are pure heroin chic: ribs showing, no curves. yuck
i really don't know why
It's because fashion designers are gay men who want their models to look like prepubescent boys.
