So what is your excuse for ignorance if not youth?
Development of flagella has been gone over again and again, it is basic evolution re-using existing structures and processes to build cellular structures:
And further, abiogenesis, what you seem to call OOL, has nothing to do with evolution and natural selection.
And then some lame appeal to philosophers, not biologists or scientists, making arguments from ignorance. For a reasonable refutation of the first work of dreck, see what an actual biologist has to say about it:
Well most of the god-tards have moved on from disputing that things evolve.
You are wrong and that is part of the problem. I know it seems almost impossible to believe, but in the US, literally 46% of the population reports to believe that humans were created exactly as they are now within the last 10,000 years.
The problem is, rational folks just can't imagine that such a huge % of the US population could believe such utter nonsense so we don't treat it with the seriousness we need too.
Note that this still means that in order to initiate the download, the server S has to serve out the whole file at least once, to the first downloader -- and if the file is being distributed without the copyright owner's permission, then the operators of server S can be taken to court. This legal pressure was the reason that the Pirate Bay switched from serving BitTorrent files to serving magnet links, which enable users to download content purely from each other, without the Pirate Bay ever actually serving the content themselves.
This shows a basic misunderstanding of how BitTorrent works.
TPB never had any copyrighted content files on their servers ever. They served up.torrent files which were files that pointed to trackers for the content files being shared.
Now they use magnet files, which allows users to get.torrent files from other users instead of from TPB.
Raspberry Pi supply problems are long over. You can get one overnight now if you want. I still wouldn't order one from RS though, their performance during the supply shortage was terrible, no more of my business for them ever.
Yes, maybe as what you said. But we are not talking about politics and legislation, we are talking about the legal system which should be the one place that the playing field is level and it clearly is not.
The system is brand new and it seems the app store service provider still has some details to work out about the licensing.
Liz, the head of the Raspbery Pi foundation, is aware of the issue and has already directly addressed it by saying there will be a fix in place by tomorrow to allow the app publishers to properly list the license their software is offered under.
It still does not say desktop replacement. It says it can be used for some of the things you would do with a desktop, that is a big difference from saying it can replace your desktop.
My 256meg Pi runs XBMC great, it surprised the heck out of me. But that was not what I bought it for and is not what I use it for so it was just an added bonus.
I will be buying one of the new 512 Model B boards to be a media player for sure.
I might get a model A board to use for an embedded application as I do not really need an RJ45 port and I find the only thing I use the USB for is a wifi dongle as I run my existing board headless anyway.
Solar panels are very typically guaranteed for 80% output at 25 years of age so they do not need to be replaced 'regularly' by typical definitions of regularly.
Batteries you are looking at 10 year life cycles, which might come a little closer regular replacement. However, even that can often go to 15 year cycles with a properly sized and used string of batteries.
This is just typical vulture capitalism. Hedge funds bought the company, loaded it with debt to repay the 1 percenters and are now selling off the corpse and union busting all in one smooth move.
I am very skeptical of this until it has been repeated, tested and evaluated in other settings by different researchers.
For some reason when reading the story, it really reminded me of "facilitated communication" which is a terrible, cruel scam non-communicative and vegetative or near vegetative state people are subject to. I realize this is different, but really not very different.
The reason it smacks of racism is because we had 8 years of exactly what you are describing under a white President and everyone who is now complaining about it was perfectly happy with it when it was a white guy doing it.
Funny how all those things are now a problem when they were not a problem at all, in fact you were unAmerican if you said they were a problem, during the Bush II administration.
I take exception to your statement the government can not keep secrets.
The CIA has a budget estimated at 10's of billions dollars per year. The Military intelligence agencies probably at least that much as well. They obviously do something with that money.
How many intel related operations and actions can you directly cite that are confirmed or well known to be intel. operations?
They manage to keep their day to day operations around the world pretty well secret I feel. And have for many years.
While renewables could certainly provide a fair portion of the power for EVs, even if you are burning coal or oil to power your EV, you are much better off having only one source point of pollution instead of 10's of millions of little source points (tail pipes)
If you have one source point for the pollution it is much easier to upgrade to cleaner technologies as they become available and make sure the very best pollution control devices are installed and working properly.
The other issue I have been told about by an iOS developer is that often time, if you have a somewhat successful app, a larger, better staffed and funded development house can just essentially copy it and push their version of your app to their existing installed user base.
Obviously this is second hand, but considering well known developers have been caught doing exactly that, I tend to believe him.
The most egregious abuse of private property rights I have ever seen was in Connecticut where the right wingers took private land to make sure the shopping mall developers could make more money.
It was the liberals on the US Supreme Court that tried to stand against such illegal confiscation.
There is no evidence that "Community Reinvestment Act" loans ( the loans you are talking out your rear end about about without knowing what you are talking about ) are generally considered decent loans without a major percentage being defaulted on.
Instead it is commercial loans that are often underwater and being walked away from as regular business decisions (see: strategic defaults, it is always ok when businesses do it) and home equity loans, not CRA loans that were a major factor in the 2008 melt down.

It is worse than just the mistake about still serving up torrent files. He seems to think TPB actually served up the copyrighted content files..

Yes, it has been done with the Raspberry Pis.
Beowulf clusters in the Raspberry Pi world are called "Brambles"
Visit the RPi forums and search for that for real world feedback on how to do it.
Early models did not have mounting holes, all the recent models do have mounting holes.
USB issues have been improved greatly.
What seems not to be possible is pumping video larger than 640x480 over the USB ports, otherwise, it is apparently working fine.

If I understand you correctly, you are suggesting they offer a shitty support option for free.
That is a mistake, then they will just think your support is shitty and not worth paying for.
Always provide your best support, always.
As mentioned up thread, they only question you answer for free is "How do I access your paid support?"
There are plenty of states that have the sentence "life without parole" my state of Michigan being one of them.
It works pretty well. There is no parole, no getting out, end of story.
It is the automatic sentence required by law if one is convicted of pre meditated murder in Michigan, no exceptions.

This had little to do with unions.

Please read and learn instead of playing into the hands of those that would pit workers against workers.

fMRI has problems and is very subject to interpretation, misuse and manipulation.

Not really. What he described is called "goal post moving".
You need to double check how human the lethal injection process is.
There are really ugly and tortuous problems with it all the time, same with the electric chair, hanging and firing squad.

The Raspberry Pi has at least 17 pins available for I/O and the Rev 2 boards have 4 additional I/O pins.

Lefties don't respect property rights?
The most egregious abuse of private property rights I have ever seen was in Connecticut where the right wingers took private land to make sure the shopping mall developers could make more money.
It was the liberals on the US Supreme Court that tried to stand against such illegal confiscation.

God right wingers are delusional.
I would check out the RPi forums and potentially the wiki. There are a lot of folks who use the RPi for robotics.
Here is a link to the sub forum that includes robotics, but I bet there are robotics threads in lots of other places on their forums as well:
http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewforum.php?f=37
And here is the RPi wiki:

Feel free to ask on the forums, I have found them to be very friendly.
Nice right wing talking points there.
