Or are you for allowing school choice... even when it means fundies can skip teaching evolution and condoms?
They can start up their own schools, of course.
But not with the taxpayer's dollars. Publicly funded schools, even with vouchers, which are taxpayer subsidized, should teach the scientific consensus.
And you are of course against crap like the Fairness Doctrine, right?
Only right wing wackos care about the fairness doctrine these days. I wonder why that is.
First off, he's dead. He can't howl. I figure Darwin would back me up on that assertion.
If he wasn't dead.
Second, there's no reason why something like manual gender selection wouldn't affect the course of evolution greatly. For example: selecting out girls will cause many boy's genes to not pass to the next generation. So if the Chinese and Indian populations do this, they'll be selecting themselves out of the gene pool. Evolution at it's finest.
See, evolution doesn't need natural selection. All it requires is selection.
I tend to lean to the left side of the political spectrum, but two threads of liberal thought piss me off more than just about anything: anti nuke environmentalists and autism/vaccine linkers. Both group are as bad as any anti science fundamentalist, but in a way worse: they think that science and reason backs them up, when really it doesn't. They're just using it as a rationalization for their existing superstitions, mainly of the "don't mess with mother nature" variety.
Right... Because Republicans are just mindless automatons
Yep, by their own admission, in fact. I'm not sure how it happened, but I ended up on the RNC mailing list. The lastest message from Michael Steele (RNC chair) said, "The battle is joined. As you all know, the Republican Party is unified in our opposition [to the stimulus]"
This is a common republican theme: we are unified, and we fight. Sounds like mindless automatons to me...
If windmills were distributed widely enough, they could produce their own prediction data. i.e. windmill A, downwind from windmill B, should use windmill B's output as a predictor. Or, more broadly, windmill A would rely on a set of windmills within a given radius for prediction data. This would require a much larger distribution than will be available any time soon, but would probably be the best way to go in the long term. P2P wind power prediction. Me likey.
Now FOX has this propaganda puff piece for the TSA called "Lie to Me" going...
Have you actually watched the show? If anything there's constant disdain for lie detectors and other mechanical lie detection techniques, favoring microexpression interpretation. I'd hardly call it propaganda, just a cross between "The Mentalist" type shows and CSI.
Every human and piece of physical infrastructure that is a member of the government has a gravitational effect on you. As gravity has infinite reach in the universe, there's no place you could go to escape this crass physical manipulation by the government.
Reductio aside, that wasn't what what I meant. You missed it.

Apparently in this universe my comment is +5 insightful.
How fucked up is that?
In his universe Spock has no beard.
How fucked up is that?
And your lack of compassion and understanding is wholly unhuman.
This is silly. Putting solar panels in orbit? Please.
Use the money to build nuclear plants. Don't bore me with the waste issue. There is no such thing as waste, just more fuel.
Servers just explode. Natural causes.
I guess using this technique you could torture someone, then make it "all better."
Lovely.
I'm spending it at home with my wife and 18 month old daughter, who we named after the first computer programmer, Ada.
Hang in there, Mr Geek. Your time will come.
Only on /. can you see jokes like this. Awesome.
Educate yourself. Nuclear "waste" need not be wasted.

They could have said "City's Move To Nix Security Cams May KILL YOUR CHILDREN!"
I mean, remember poor Caylee?
By that logic, all performances by Keanu Reeves are not derivitive works.
Woah.

Good. We don't want people to just dream. We want them to do.
None of the others you cite are competing with Firefox.
An honest comparison would be if Opera, or another browser vendor, installed a plugin for Firefox. Have they?
And I'm sure you'd argue that Microsoft would never, ever, would have any ulterior motives for their actions.
The liquid fluoride thorium reactor can burn existing nuclear waste just fine, and it's been available since the 50's.

Gravity.

Sweet.
Seced from the human race while you're at it. And I'm sure you feel constrained by the laws of physics. Might as well seced from the universe, too.
Adn you also won't call the police if an arsonist set the fire?
