I can't understand how the DMCA is still in force. It's casual dismissal of the Free Speech and Due Process are clearly unconstitutional. Hasn't anyone ever challenged it in court on Constitutional grounds?
I could have told you the shuttles will keep on flying. It'd be embarrassing for the Americans to have to rely on others to get American astronauts into space. The shuttles will keep on flying until another one blows up. Keep in mind that the Orion program will be years late and billions over budget. There'll be quite a gap to stop.
By the time you have a fair comparison (ie. written C code that can really do everything Javascript can), you have basically written Javascript itself in C.
...which completely misses the point. You have some computation to perform, so your program can be implemented in any Turing-complete language. In speed testing, the important thing is the program, not the features of the language.
goal of kicking every single American citizen square in the nuts, and that program ended up being fraught with budget overruns, cases of mistaken identity, citizens getting kicked square in the nuts twice, some citizens not getting kicked square in the nuts at all
This seems like an especially good metaphor considering that the root goal isn't even theoretically possible.
I'm talking about pricing per GB of data transferred. Then, the heavy users can download as much as they want and the ISPs will love them for it. The ISPs will seek them out and the heavy users will fund the upgrading of hardware to make transfers even faster. The present model seems quite ripe for abuse.
If they want to have users of their product, they need to do something useful for them. Otherwise, they're real nowhere men making all their nowhere plans for nobody.
Even if exact same books and syllabus is used, students will learn material differently from different teachers.
But is this difference really worth umpteen-thousand dollars a year? For an undergraduate degree, if you are going to cover the same material anywhere you go, you should save your money. If you're a keener, you'll master all of the material no matter who your professors are.
Is there any serious doubt that Scrabulous infringes on Hasbro's intellectual property?
And what intellectual property would that be? The trademark is pretty much the only claim they can make, but I think that most reasonable adults would read "Scrabulous" as meaning "Scrabble(TM)-like, but not Scrabble(TM)". Copyrights would only apply to their artwork and specific wording of the rules. You can't trademark facts. And any patents would have expired decades ago.
The price this guy is paying for electricity is awfully high. Are all Americans gouged like this? I only pay 9 cents Canadian per kWh, and that's a flat rate.
You'll find lots of books, lectures, and web sites about physics and social psychology. I guess you believe that physics and social psychology are religions.
It would seem that all the reasons atheists may have for stating that do not count as "proof".
Atheism is a spectrum that spans from agnosticism to absolute faith. Personally, I am a "soft" atheist. This means that I reject the belief in the existence of (your) God as being lunacy and say that He *almost* certainly does not exist. A "hard" atheist removes the '*almost*' and is making an absolute assertion without knowledge, which is what the grandparent was complaining about. Now, the "hard" atheist is *almost* certainly right, but he is still overstating his case.
To me, an agnostic doesn't take a position, but a "soft" atheist does. Some people think that there is no evidence to be examined, but this isn't true. If we examine the evolution and history of the various religions and the individuals behind them and combine this with our knowledge of psychology and human failings, we conclude that all existing religions are horsecrap. Now, there is a 1/infinity chance that your religion is correct purely by random chance, but I don't have much faith in that.

So, is it because of Global Warming or is it all Dubya's fault?

The FCC is fine unless you show any boobs or say "Fuc~>!$&88(!(9~~\\`
Just charge the heavy users more. Doy. Problem solved.
Maybe a couple charges of treason should be thrown in as well. Electoral fraud. Coup coup d'état. Indecent exposure.
Sounds a lot like the C64 DTV.
I'm under 40 and got an A+ in my COBOL course back in 2087.
Looks like he succeeded where the MythBusters failed. The device looks pretty much identical to the one they built.

The fastest-growing ... what to call it ... form of religion-related beliefs in the developed world is Atheism. Rationality is the universal solvent.

And the universities already consume all of the money on causes they consider more worthy. Forcible changes will foster resentment.
The universities that are forced to provide free tuition because of a government program might have a little resentment as well.
The rest of your message advocates making science less competitive. I don't see how this approach produces anything other than mediocrity either.
Maybe such people should be called "bluenecks".
So, to be clear, you don't want McCain to win, but you're going to help him do it.
