i should have been more clear, you are correct. The contradiction is between the idea that IV fertilization is acceptable, despite the fact that it creates embryo's which will be destroyed while destroying embryo's in any other context is absolutely wrong.
By the same logic I suppose the tabs actually belong outside the browser window, since the page title displayed at the top is also a property of the current page.
From a usability standpoint, I think the tabs belong adjacent to the content. Most of the time (in my experience) the mouse is going between the page content and the tabs so they belong adjacent. Also, since I have the tab bar only visible when their is more then one tab, does that mean the address bar will be jumping up and down when I open and close tabs, that seems like it would be a little weird.
Creating the implantation embryo's has to be legal, because it helps people have a child. Since the embryo's that for some reason don't get in are human beings that WILL die before they're anywhere near breathing, the humane thing is to kill them as soon as possible.
It's not okay to kill embryos, or anything human, in order to learn.
Those are contradictory moral stances that you are taking. Why is it ok to create many embryo's that will be killed if the goal is to make one that will become a baby. Please explain how that is ok when you believe that killing the same fetus during an abortion is always wrong. That sounds like awfully muddled thinking to me.
Well said, although you missed a key point that the already existing lines of stem cells that Bush limited research to are nearly useless because of their age and contamination.
I guarantee you that if an American pharma company said that they could make 10 billion dollars on stem cell products from embryonic research, about 3/4 of the Republican party would immediately sell out on any contemplated private ban on stem cell research
Is it supposed to be reassuring that most Republican's only maintain their batshit insane fundamentalist ideals they use to get elected until some big corporation is able to buy them off? Funny, that doesn't make me feel any better about them.
How can you say that someone who has been a chief executive of a state (and a city) is unqualified compared to someone who has never run a company of any size and whose sole federal experience is less than one term in the Senate?
Alaska is a state the size of a small city and Wasilla is not a city. Sure, maybe in Alaska it qualifies as one but nowhere else. I grew up in a town in Massachusetts and that town had twice the population of Wasilla.
As for Obama, how is it that for him the only experience you count is Federal? Palin has 0 years of federal experience compared to Obama's 3 years. Gee, that sounds like Obama has more.
If we include state experience, which you only saw fit to mention Palin, we see that Obama has 8 full years compared to Palin's 2. Wow, that also sounds like more experience for Obama.
Additionally, while in the Senate Obama has served on the Foreign Relations Committee as well as the Homeland Security Committee. Those two committees deal directly with one of the biggest political issue the next President will have to deal with. How's that compare with Palin? Well according to her "[she hasn't] really focused much on the war in Iraq." So no Obama doesn't have any executive experience, but he does have experience that relates to actual issues a President will deal with. All the executive experience in Alaska will not give you that.
Barack Obama is only less qualified for office when you distort the facts to fit that conclusion. My mom was spouting the same nonsense the other day, but she has an excuse since she is a willfully ignorant fundamentalist.
I'm a San Diegan, though I don't know much about UCSD. However all the University of California schools are affiliated. I don't think it's wrong to refer to the University of California, but it's not that common. Probably since UCSD is quicker to say by 1/3 and is also more specific.
His point was that while a number like 193 has a prime number of digits in decimal, if you change it to binary (11000001) it is no longer a prime number of digits long. So no, it is not an inherent property of the number. Every prime number has a prime number of digits in some base.
At the bottom of the page here it says comments are owned by the poster. Since the vast majority of content on slashdot is user contributed it seems that it's at least as accurate to say we are providing content to them.
That's typically been the base, but it's not so easy to put Cheney aside since he is the current VP and it is yet to be seen what sort of a precedent he set.
That said I don't think Biden is at all likely to follow in Cheney's footprints, but the precedent is their for any other future VP's to take up.
Wow, so many nonsense assumptions and stereotypes in one paragraph. Previously you said "taxes are needed to fund the government" but now you seem to be contradicting that believe with your libertarian, anti-tax ranting. Anyway, I've got nothing to add since you've taken up debating straw-man.
Forgive me, but I find it ridiculous to say that a slightly higher tax burden on the upper middle class will in any way make their standard of living equal to that of someone making 40k. You know very well that is not the case and no one is proposing something even close to that sort.
Progressive taxes are how you equalize the tax burden and is the only fair system. I'm not sure exactly what you are referring to saying that policy is responsible for many of our current problems.
They get a report that WTC7 came down. The producer quickly goes on google, pulls up some information about the building (the name and location) and hands it to the reporter to read. What is it about this that is so difficult for you to understand? There is nothing at all accidental or weird about them having some basic information about the building correct.
The buildings falling within their footprint seems a little too convenient and counter intuitive.
I think that right there is the problem. People assume that their intuition on how a complex system they know basically nothing about should work is worth something. It is not.
Ask any professional demolitionist how difficult it actually is to have a building fall straight down without collateral damage. It's quite the science.
Right, without collateral damage. Do you guys have any idea how stupid you look?
This BBC thing is dumbfounding. Every ask yourself if they new the WTC7 was supposed to fall before it happened, why they would have known that? Do you propose that the BBC was somehow involved in bringing down the buildings? If not, how did they know ahead of time. Was it because George Bush was afraid no one would notice that another building fell so he wrote up a press release for it?
More likely the BBC just screwed up as the media so often does.
But that other plane wasn't heading to NY and even if it was, why the hell would it have been a target? Unlike the iconic WT1 and WT2, WT7 was just another office building.

It should be pretty obvious I'm talking about population. Geographic size doesn't mean much.

Care to back that up with maybe an example of his alleged excuse making?

I do not find that attempt at humor funny. You are clearly mentally retarded or something.
What does capitalism have to do with it?
Does it really make more business sense as a monopoly? Without competitors what is the motive for funding research?

Or maybe it's a good idea to have the names on his ticket invoke images of the Islamic terrorist that the Republicans failed to deal with.

When? The 9/11 truthers are labeled conspiracy theorists because they believe in a huge cover up. When has the term been used widely without evidence?
