Time travel is so in depth that many people believe it will never get out of the sci-fi area into regular science. Many cultures in the past have viewed time as a line, starting somewhere, and ending somewhere else, without squiggles, or sidetracks etc. Others saw time as a circle where it could seem that you come to the same spot over and over again, or the circle could be infinitly large and the traveler would just arrive at spots that seem familiar to a past time.
When looking at a topic such as time travel you invariably will choose one of these views and practically everyone thinks linearly (it's more prevalent in modern cultures, and makes more sense for time travel). There is no evidence behind an understanding of time however, it's like the theory of relativity. A linear view of time works fine, so does a circular view. Relativity works, but without a foundation in other scientific laws, there is no reason to say that relativity is uniquely true.
When theorizing about complex ideas like paradox's and time travel behavior it's almost impossible to come up with a good understanding without knowing the foundation of time. I must say I agree with you on the binary interpretation of time travel. I wouldn't be surprised at all if paradox's become one of the old legends when (if) us humans come to a real understanding of time.
Less functional and stable? Where have you been the last 4 years? Windows media player uses IE core, and therefor it it unstable, an extra security whole, and not worth the risk of using.
You can get a version of windows without WMP, and it's gaining popularity even among droids as dumb as you! The EU demanded far less than they should have. They should have asked for windows without IE, and pointed to Nlite as their source. nliteos.com
Some people are more capable of seeing violence. By 7 years old, you should know enough about your child to make that decision. Most parents are going to rely on daycare for raising their children, so they certainly shouldn't bring their child along to ROTS.
Being a younger member of the slashdot crowd (I'm 20, and live with my parents), I must say I'm disturbed by the constant young age descrimination. You have to learn how to deal with complex emotions sooner or later, and that time is different for everyone. You might want your child to grow up and not face anything ugly, but this is an ugly world and she will see some uglyness eventually. Will you be there to help her through it, or will she be too quick for you and learn everything alone?
Children are like adults, they perform and act in accordance to what you expect. This is why girls are scared of bugs, and why boys smash them or carry them around in jars. Certainly you understand that girls can love bugs just as much (there's no genetic bug-loving trait determined by gender), they generally do not because it is expected above all that they be clean and pretty.
Remember the goal of rasing children is just that. When you are done (whenever your child goes to college, or whenever she just stops listening) you want to have an adult. Keeping someone out of trouble isn't a very noble goal, and it's very hard to execute too.
XBMC already ported the open sourced milkdrop in early may. It runs well, but theres a few bugs (player skips) at random with a complex visualization like this.
The XBMC team came up with a port in about a week, so assuming the xmms core visualization code is solid, porting this wont be hard.
I wanted to explain my conclusion a little more deeply, but didn't want to sound long-winded.
The existance of the sack, and it's basic properties must be agreed upon as well as some basic properties of the objects which may be contined therein to do any real observation.
Here what we see is that a foundation in nonsense must be made to start the scientific process. This process may actually result in something that gives evidence for the original nonsense, or it might just provide a useful result.
Beliefs are that nonsense foundation that cannot be completely explained. We know that there is a foundation for everthing we understand, but that foundation currently cannout be understood. This is where beleif comes in, it is simply a placeholder. Above all, you must believe something. This doesn't mean "there is no wrong religion" however, in theory all possible beliefs but one could be wrong, but they will all lead to a different view of the reality that is understood.
All this to say that any fact unfortunately rises out of a belief, or lack of fact. This is a prevelent idea, and I'm really surprised the OP didn't understand that beleif cannot rise out of fact. Beliefs can only be modified by facts which contradict a philosophy that is already held. When a fact arises from your own philosophy and it contradicts your belief, there is a lack of continuity, and that part which you think you believe you probably do not.
Beleifs are never grounded in facts. If they were, they'd be facts. Ask a non-idiot about what he/she believes in. Nobody, "tolerant" or not thinks that beliefs are based on facts. What cannot currently be explained by fact is explained by belief.
Theories of the origin of our universe range in supporting evidence. None of the theories are bulletproof, or "grounded in facts". Nothing in science is grounded in facts, much less quasi-science.
Science as textbooks define it starts with a hypothesis... a random idea. As a scientist you look around for supporting evidence. If you're really well respected and a few people agree with you, this theory (with supporting evidence) will be raised to a "law".
You can see the failure of this scientific method with a simple real-life example. Hypothesis: there are nine marbles in Sack A. Evidence: compare weight of sack with weight of one individual marble. Theory: There are ten marbles in Sack A. Now think outside the box: There is no foundational principle that says all marbles must weigh something.
Even in a very simple scientific observation many assumptions are made.
Without a functioning version of IE, there will be significant reason to dump it (usually an executive decision). The user will have a system that is more secure, responsive, and workable.
I need windows for school so I'm running nLite on win2k3 (SP1). No IE, much less insecurity.
Wars can be justified using the freedom word for two cases (IMO) 1. Your people is under rule of a tyranny. 2. Someone is trying to undermine your free government.
The war of 1812 was the second case. After England lost the revolutionary war they were trying to interfere with practices that were necessary for our country to exist. Disrespecting U.S. citizens by capturing them and forcing them to join their army, and of course getting in the way of trade (mostly by ship).
Nearly all U.S. citizens respect the first two american wars (revolution and 1812). When a war does not address the value most important to its country, the citizens can be dissapointed. As I was with the outcome of WWI, WWII, and everyone was of Korea and Vietnam. The civil war had no possible good outcome for members of the united states (either win resulted in a loss of freedom, and it cost many american lives)
I was looking at a list of wars that the U.S. has been involved in over the last 200+ years, and was surprised that the "war on terror" is the first war for U.S. freedom since the war of 1812.
Don't get me wrong, there was the civil war, which also dealt with issues of freedom, but a win for either side would result in a loss of freedom somewhere (north wins: states loose freedom, south wins: black people loose freedom)
Problem is, the U.S. is already turning the war to perserve freedom into a grab for power and dessimation of individual rights. After the Real ID act passed, now we are seeing a fake testimony of a soldier about terrorists and copyrights (even if they are pirating things, they aren't under U.S. law). The trend of fighting wars apart from freedom is continuing and it seems there's no way to avoid it. How could Roosevelt start such a communist society without being caught?
well we can all see that your nutrition and exercise teacher was smoking crack.. with a reply like that it looks like you weren't paying attention in tech comm or ethics either.
Go ahead and run off all your power, become anerexic and watch everyone make fun of you! Just dont tell everyone else it's the best way to feel good through the day.
Your understanding of exercise is wrong. If you must eat breakfast alone to do a workout in the morning, eat breakfast alone. Completing a workout after eating 7-10 hours earlier is not healthy, and will mostly break down muscle. If you want to loose some fat and gain some power (why not?) make sure your metabolic state is correct first.
The principle of eating before your workout is universal and doesn't need any source. In case you dont believe me, here's an article about nutrition and swimmers. http://www.bcst.com/uploads/876.htm Swimming not your thing? Talk to one of the real health experts at your friendly neighborhood gym.
I also did a softmod on the vanilla 9500. It worked great, and I sold the system to a friend. The 9500 and 9500 PRO were actually different boards, however the 9700 and the 9500 were the same.
As I remember it, the mod was first tried when someone in europe (thinking Germany) spotted the one difference between a 9500 and a 9700, one solder point. They changed the solder point and their 9500 was a 9700.
Someone made a driver that ignored the signal the card sent to identify it's model, just assuming the model to be a 9700. A lot of the cards worked too, it sure kept the 9500 vanilla above the cost of the 9500 pro for a while.
The Matrix brought a lot to mainstream, but I've heard a lot of criticism about films that Matrix adapted from. Blade has been compared to the matrix (a weak argument, yes). I just watched Dark City this month and it's amazing how similar this movie is, released just one year before The Matrix.
If slow motion, multi-camera 360 degree rotational effects was enough to get a film the nod for top100, reloaded should get that spot.
I have to agree The Matrix was just too well done to be left out of the top100 list. I dont think many people trusted time to come up with a good list though.
Remember that not all the world has bought into the united states lame idea of intellectual property, and anti innovation laws. IDK where bittorrent.com is being hosted, but if they get bothered by the MPAA, they'll probably just go to Denmark or Switzerland where information is still free.
The right to abortion (in both rape and contraception failure cases)
Recreational use of drugs (such as cannabis, tobacco and alcohol)
The use of landmines in war
Eating animals
The use of animals to test drugs (for developing cures for cancer, as well as testing new cosmetic)
With the exception of rape, every one of the activities you mentioned do not involve others. When your behavior can cause others trouble it should be handled under ethics, which doesn't really dictate what you can do, only the ways in which you can do it. So I lied, landmines could also be considered an ethical problem.. it doesn't matter, there are no rules in war.

Absolutely. Any time you're having a problem with your neigbor make sure you talk to him/her first. Not only is it the polite thing to do, you have the ethical responsibilty to go to your friend/opponent before seeking legal protection.
If the fence is really important to him you might be able to work out a deal to your own financial gain. Keeping communication open will require that you respect your neighbors directly.
This is the same feeling I got when studying Physics 2 with no in-depth lecture and a poorly written book. Einstien's theory of relativity just makes rules about what cannot be, and when you look at things as if they cannot happen, usually they dont.
I guess it can be summed up by "choose your battles" although that is a fairly passivist theology.
