I think the hardest part about this battle is that they are so uninformed.
If you feel that they are uninformed, then why not put together a package for them containing an outline of the situation and references where to find out more? Ignorance is only a temporary problem.
It's been awhile, but I think the cracks are caused by tidal forces. That is the moon is warped by gravity (think about the tides here on earth) and it causes ice to buckle and water gushes out. This could set limits on the depth of the ice, but I'm not sure.
While it is a native OS X application in the most basic sense of the word, it does not yet use the Aqua interface.
And it never will. If they add that feature they will have to support it on every platform, meaning macos, macosx, gtk, qt, windows.... you get the picture. While there are complaints that mozilla is redesigning the wheel, it does (arguably) save them development and commitment time.
Some advice from a person who has been programming professionally since high-school: Go to college. I can't tell you how important it is. If you are anything like me, you will want to wait as long as possible before you join the corporate world. If you thought high-school was bad... just wait for manditory relaxed fridays and company barbecues. On the other hand, college is great. It's nothing at all like high-school (unless you go to a crappy school like nyu...). The professors all have PhDs, you only have to go to a class if you want to, and when you do, the professors treat you with respect (compare all three to your high-school experience...). Looking back, I barely learned anything in all my years of public school compared to what I've learned in college. Plus, having computer skills can get you into some really cool research.
If I can chalk this down to one simple take-home message: Go to college. It is worth it for at least the experience, let alone the amount you will learn (if you apply yourself).
Damn. What a death. "He entered an airlocked storage lab and died from exposure to nitrogen." Those unreactive gases sure are dangerous.
Surely those who write articles on such topics could do a little research. The author most likely saw that he died in a nitrogen environment and concluded that he died from the nitrogen. Silly writers. Nitrogen isn't a deadly gas! It comprises a huge portion of our atmosphere. It's the lack of oxygen that killed him. Next they're going to run a story about the deadly effect of H20 in our tapwater.
1) Faith is belief without justification. By definition it does not hold water.
2) I am not sure what "it" refers to.
3) See (2).
Maybe I can clear up what I said earlier. You state that anything is possible - perhaps unlikely, but almost never impossible. This is true. Anything is possible. Alien abductions are possible. ESP is possible. Psychic powers are possible. But do you live in fear of aliens abducting you while you sleep? Are you afraid that somebody will read your mind and get your root password? I'd guess that you wouldn't be; These events are just not very likely. They are comprable to me saying "it's possible that Zelda was true and our lives are just in a videogame." But that's just silly.
But this isn't science. It's just rational thinking. Scientists actually go and test supposed psychics and ESPers, but nothing ever comes from it. While you say we are backing ourselves into a "science" based dogmatic society, it appears that you are the one being dogmatic by insisting on the validity of your beliefs against extreme odds.
Oops. You hit the nail on the head. Alien abduction, ESP, psychic powers, etc. are unlikely, as you put it. Face it, anything is possible, but not everything is probable. Hey, it's possible that I might get hit by lightening while I write this - or maybe Vanilla Ice will give me a hand job - but it's not probable. The key to science is probability, not possibility. The argument, "Hey man, it's possible," holds no water.
Yeah. I also think it's funny that they think that this is a sign of decay:
Essentially, 60% of the web changes every 3 months.
Why should a site have to be updated all the time for it to be considered good? I have found tons of things like math tutorials and programming howtos that haven't been updated in years but are still valuable resources. I would only considere these 'decayed' if they randomly started losing images and text. I guess that this study is proof that you can prove any hypothesis given enough time.
I'm with you on this. I thought that I'd try out Gentoo because it sounded cool, but I was fully expecting to install Debian the next day. I was wrong. Gentoo blew my socks off. It really has what all the other distros lack: Speed, extreme customization and ease of use. The install takes some guts for a newbie because it's all command-line, but it's definitely doable.
Perhaps the coolest thing about gentoo is that while it is easy to use and to maintain, it somehow teaches you all the fundamentals of running a linux machine at the same time. Portage, the packaging system is totally rad and... I better stop ranting before somebody calls me a narc, but Gentoo rocks. If you like using linux, or have ever thought about trying linux, you need to use Gentoo. Period.
I think what they are really talking about are "Denial Of Sex" attacks during dates. The methods to protect oneself from DOS are the same as they have always been: Beer, peer pressure and roofies.
... and I highly recommend it. It's slick, it's fast and it's easy to keep your system up to date. The install process seems complicated because it's all command line, but it's really quite easy and gives you a good feeling for your system.
On an upnote, this was commented out in their source:
The Sharp-USA site uses DHTML and other advanced techniques supported by Netscape Version 4 and Internet Explorer Version 4 and above. We are in the process of upgrading so that Netscape Version 6 will be supported. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.
The days are getting warmer and warmer. Something must be going on.
Dude, it's springtime! This happens every year, remember?
I do agree with you though. Here in Seattle it's been snowing in LATE MARCH. Seattle is lucky to have it snow once a year, so big fat flakes dead into March is odd, as in not normal. You gotta wonder: Is it el nin~o or is it el environmento chango?
In a breakthrough today, scientists working for MacDonalds revealed that eating two Big Macs a day makes the human male appear "sexy" and "charming" to females of that species. While preliminary testing points to the special sauce as the active ingredient, some scientists still insist that it's the love put into each sandwich by a dedicated MacDonalds employee that transforms a regular man into a "hunk of burning love."

Make that "Reasons I Dropped Chemistry and Took Up Physics" for $500.
I'm guessing that the thing I didn't like was the thing that you liked, considering that I found it too engineeringy.

Math uses deduction
Just wanna make one thing clear: Math uses induction too.
Yeah. I also think it's funny that they think that this is a sign of decay:

Anything else would have looked better. Tk just doesn't have that polished look that everyone knows and loves.
Man. I was going to use this as a base for a "there are many ways to do it" joke, but I just can't get myself to write it.

It's people like you who make sushi research sound bad. Flamer.

Given the choice, I would rather accept neither. And then I'd tell the lunatic outside my apartment to stop screaming in gibirish. What an ass.

It's nice that the media releases news stories with units that real, everyday people can refer to, like the size of Singapore.
I'm still waiting for this app to display .debs or ebuilds.
