I found out they also have an english wiki link (take previous post link and replace de. by en.) :
Rochechouart (Rechoard in Occitan, earlier La Ròcha Choard) is a commune in the Haute-Vienne department in the Limousin region in west-central France. It is a sub-prefecture of the department.
The name of the town comes from Latin roca cavardi, which roughly translates as the rock of Cavardus, the lord who had the fortified place built at the beginning of the 11th century. More often than not, natives pronounce it [owa], not *[wa].
Rochechouart ist aus Roca und Cavardus zusammengesetzt, der erste Teil bezeichnet einen leicht zu verteidigenden Felssporn, der zweite Teil ist der Name desjenigen Ritters, der hier um das Jahr 1000 eine Burg anlegte.
Rochechouart is composed of the word Roca and Cavardus (note from me : Roche=rock), the first part describe a easy to defend clip, the second part is the name of the knight which constructed a burg tehre.
In other word if wiki is to be believed, there is no relationship whatsoever with the fact it was a crater created by a meteorite.
that doesn't mean there are many deep questions to which the scientific method cannot be applied
No the parent had it right. In all fairness, the best answer to this question is "we do NOT know even if we desire to" and not "my sky faery did it " or "I will reach nirvana after 19th reincarnation" or even "he died for our sins". All those answer are without evidence and are tinted by the cultural background of the person saying them. Shift them to another background and they would change it. Religion is indeed a cultural delusion.
Do you feel that all religious people are a priori ignorant bumpkins,
Not all religious person are ignorant, but indeed religiosity has been correlated to the reverse of education.
Could we stop it calling him quantum encryption and call it by what it is : Secure quantum transmission ? Encryption / decryption involve changing a message with a key as to make it non-decipherable. Quantum "encryption" do no such a things, it only allow sending a emssage from point A to point B , while warning you if somebody eavesdrop (at least in theory...). You could push a message in plain text through such a channel, or a KEY, both can be perfectly read by the eavesdropped, but the sender/receiver pair will know it has been caught. There is nothing encrypted whatsoever here.
Read again , for the US it is only 1.2 trillion, or more like 2% GDP which isn't too far off when I could all the loss of time my colleague and me get with POS windows software breaking down.
WORLD is 6.2 trillion USA 1.2 trillion
Once piracy take off and a lot of people start to be itnerrested into eBook, then real usage and real sale will pick up. until then it is a niche market.
If you go openly and give in a non-democratic country laptop and cell phone with the explicit intent to possibly undermine the local government ("The intent was to enable activists to connect with each other and spread information of what's happening inside Cuba"), then when that said government jail you for "sedition" or whatever, you get what was coming to you. Their intent is laudable, but get real, what sort of reaction would you expect from a non-democratic government ? A smile and a tap on the shoulder ? Yeah, right.
The real reason De Gaulle resisted the US was because he saw them as a menace after the war to the French political and economical freedom. The same reason he did not want the English in the precursor of the EU, because he saw them as a backdoor for the US influence (and indeed , a good case could be made that they sometimes stick stuff in the wheel of the EU out of spite, whereas at the same time seems to be much more friendly with the US). Now whether his prediction turned out to be true or not, uin the mean time we have had for a long time presidents which lean toward "nearing" to the US, to even a point thatour current president is called nastily "lapdog prancing around the US". Still the joke endure.
"But the French pride, arrogance, and rewriting of history" pot, kettle. Especially on the US side on pride and arrogance. As for rewriting history, I would like you to show us that, as in current history book I read it is quite clear the allied only did a favor by putting the French division forward. There is as much history rewriting on the US side too. So really, don't point at the dirt the other are kicking, when you arekicking as much dirt yourself, assuming you are an american.
I am French, I do not care for THAT joke in itself and I don't feel offended, but it certainly help me categorise my interlocutor. Think about it, I am on a forum, discussing X,Y,Z subject and some US guy come in and make the "rifle not used in 1940" joke or another of those surrender joke. What does it say on the intent of the "joker" ? Just choosing THAT type of joke in that context ? Humour seems almost certainly not the goal. Maybe teasing being generous with the "joker", or insult more probably. Anyway, who cares ? The teller of such overused joke look like bigoted idiot and will be mostly ignored, as the gp poster said.
Firstly truly shows us an example of peer review NOT working, that is something we all now take for wrong, but peer review shows as true. I am doubtful you will find tons of those, you may probably only cite a few scandal SPARSELY distributed in a few fields.
But as a whole, peer review WORKS, for every example of peer review working SLOWLY toward pruning the fraud, you have tons over tons over tons of peer review properly edging our knowledge toward an increase and not s atgnation/dcrease a fraud is.
Furthermore even if you can make the case of a few paper not being shown for the fraud they were for a long time, the OVERWHELMING number of paper in climate science is really improbably all wrong. That stretch the imagination.
At some point you have to draw a line in sand as layman (expert is different, they should always be skeptic and try to falsify the previous results) and say , everything BEFORE that line is skepticism, and after that line it is DENIALISM. COE ? We are long past that point. Thermodynamic ? Ditto. Climate Change ? IMHO we have been at the line for some time. People are not SKPETIC of the scientist results. Cliamte scientist have had an hypothese, they went by the calculation, falsification, peer review process. Thousand of times. As a LAYMAN, past that point it isn't skepticism, it is DENIALISM. Just like those PMM building guy with magnet which keep beeing skeptic of COE, without even a basic understanding on magnetism. Elitist ? Maybe but then again if I go to a doctor, an expert, and he says me I need an op, then I go to a few other doctors for a a confirmation, if after I have been to half a dozen doctor I am still "skeptic" I need an Op, then I am not anymore in search fo a second opinion, I am cherry picking until I find a doctor which says I don't need an Op, *IN DENIAL*. And that is exactly what climate change denialist are doing, catching on any single misplaced detail to deny the FULL BODY OF EVIDENCE.
Only if everybody accept it. If not, then they get no support. If tehre is a lot of unemployment, then it will cost your job as other people will probably accept poorer condition, if there is under-employment then they will have to offer more. So really saying it will cost "your job" is really dependant on whetehr you can easily be replaced, and the conjuncture.
Here around (germany) they pay me 1 hour for every 8 hour on call, if NOTHING happen. If something happen, then I get the normal pay for that time (6h-20h), double pay otherwise, triple pay for sunday or holiday day.
from wiki ond ecimal separator : "In the Middle Ages, before printing, a bar ( ) over the units digit was used to separate the integral part of a number from its fractional part, a tradition derived from the decimal system used in Indian mathematics.[1] Its regular usage and classification can be attributed to the Iranian mathematician Al-Khwarizmi. Later, a separator () (a short, roughly vertical, ink stroke) between the units and tenths position became the norm. When this character was typeset, it was convenient to use the existing comma (,) or period (.) instead."
If you look at the countries using the comma, it is actually historically that they used something similar as shown above. Mostly latin countries and europe use comma, north america and asia use period.
In France, the period was already in use in printing to make Roman numerals more readable, so the comma was chosen. Many other countries also chose to use the comma to mark the decimal units position.[2] It has been made standard by the ISO for international blueprints. However, English-speaking countries took the comma to separate sequences of three digits.
See : comma is an ISO standard. So using periosd made no sense:). Tit for tat, pot, kettle, your psot not being so insgihtful etc...
At least those guy are policemen and/or related to law enforcement/anti terrorism. Whereas for my short stint in the US everybody and their grandma had a weapon. Whether you find the first sobering , or me the second frightening is a question of the culture where youa re born. And FYI, in the french airport they also had french guys with automatic weapons. So it isn't a German things.
Counting the random crap, in email alone, I have had in the last 4 years 4 Gb (ok PST format so who know how much is really data but bear with me), or 1 GB per year, , 61 mb would be less than a month. And as far as I can see the archive of my colleague (most asked me to back it up for them), it is similar measure from 1Gb to 4Gb for similar period of time. 61 Mb is utterly nothing and I think that maybe they are real email, but but choosen out of a larger context. With such picking you could very well take innocuous email and put them together to show something nefarious. You would only have to change the header/date in files which need far far much less time than making all up.
When my parents bought a home, the elevation was not on the contract or even sale presentation. You could only see if you were going to search for special map with precise elevation lines. So how many people living there do REALLY realize they live on ground below sea level ? Well *NOW* maybe a lot. but how many did back then ?
That would only works if the password is kept on a temporary file. Otherwise there is no reason whatsoever the password would be anywhere on disk. And that does not work at all if you use a bootable CD.
Some of the system I used allowed to enter with alt+3 digits other ascii char like 00. You just need to know and try if it allows it or not, taking the risk that a later update will break it down, but that is valid only if you updates on regular basis. I do not use that trick anymore but when i use a passphrase for important stuff, there is no space but the dictionary word are distorted (1 br3ak [th!s] 0_n_e) and mixed with various char like,;:.-_+/ etc... 6 words out of a dictionary is not a decent passphrase *at all* as you can use dictionary. 6 word warped and mixed with various char is neigh unbreakable.
Even in US school speech is restricted to whatever the school want to restrict it to. One can argue to infinity whether freedom of speech should be universal and unrestricted , but it is NOT unbound. There are many example of restricted material of speech even in the US (try showing a boobs or yelling bad words in prime time). In France there is a law which say that school are SECULAR and no proselythism should be done. Whatever I always thought this was a very very good law.
And in France at least, there is an unspoken understanding between the press and the government. You don't say anything to embarrass government officials, and you get to keep your job.That is absolutely not true. So many scandal come out because PART of the press is not behold to their "master". That you do not read them or know them do not mean they do not exists. One such example I would citate is the "Canard enchainé" which poo-poo rightist, leftist, and centrist and do not mind earthing up scandal. Also Le monde at its time also unearthed a few political scandal. And a few other on TV radio I forget.
By the way, I know this because I'm French, I was born in France, and I've lived part of my life in France. Except that you are not right, and I am a french, I have lived there 25+ years. The only point where you are right is that we do not have "freedom of speech" as open and unbound as the US, but we *DO* have a liberty of expression.
A sklightily longer search would demonstrate you that with people wanting to beat the polygraph, they work as good as blind chance. Withpeople UNAWARE that polygraph are snake opil which only mneasure a few physiological parameter which are not always correlated to lie, but also to other stuff, in other word in you use it as a magic truth wand , they can impress and LEAD THE PERP to admit the truth. In fact it has been demonstrated that most if not all operator use posychological trick during AND MOST importantly AFTER the test to gather info. Fact is, it only works if you are 1) unaware 2) do not believe in your lie. Even in such case , look at antipolygraph.org you reach MAYBE a 60% rate barely above chance. It is useful to coerce some unknowing perp, but to c atch spy or good liar a useless piece of woo.
Whether dowser are fooling themselves or not into thinking bthis works, this is the ideomotor effect which make the Y shaped branch move wiki on ideomotor effect when properly tested dowsing DO NOT WORK.
But in place like where it is done, the water table is usually very high. So you cab dig ANYWHERE and get the same freaking result. Heck dowser pretend there are underground river where you dig. No there aren't. Basically go to randi.,org and look on dowser testing. They do no better than blind luck. The guy never had to give back money in 20 years, not because he is efficacious, but because you litterally live over huge amount of water. Look at the video where they had dowser search for pipe with running water. And laugh.
