By "third-party installable apps" I did not mean something that you could pry-bar onto your phone with an unsupported hack. I own an iPhone, and I want third-party installable apps - and I want Apple to create and maintain a developer support community for them. And I DON'T mean web apps.
Let me just point out that WebKit, the Apple HTML rendering engine, which is based upon KHTML, the origional KDE HTML rendering engine, has a Subversion repository from which you can download code, that you can submit patches just like you can for Firefox, and that the code is now used by KDE, AtheOS, Apple, and... wait for it...
No third-party installable apps, so no, it's not a Newton. However, it could be converted into a Newton with a slightly more ambitious operating system update.
For engineering, you're right. For other sciences: well, let's just say that you wouldn't want to have to calculate an Earth-Mars transfer orbit with a slide rule.
It was the intention of the 14th amendment to force the Bill of Rights to be applied to the states; look at the context in which it was ratified: after the Civil War.
If I recall correctly, Warren Buffet didn't lose his shirt; I suspect that you're conflating his attempts to corner the silver market with the Hunt brothers' attempt (they did lose their shirts).
By the way, the Wikipedia article on the Gold Standard claims that a return to the gold standard is supported by objectivists. Funny thing is, there's only one objectivist who's also a famous economist, and not only does he disapprove of a return to the gold standard, he used to be the chairman of the Federal Reserve. That's right, boys and girls, Alan Greenspan was a personal friend and disciple of Ayn Rand herself - see Age of Turbulence.
The little flashlights had cannabis leaves on them, and the book was a pro-legalization book. Now, this was a border guard, not a TSA drone, and part of their job is to keep an eye out for potential drug smugglers.
It looks like somebody doesn't understand that there's "mis-spelled under the domain of English" and "mis-spelled under the domain of the existing functions in this program" and that while a compiler can manage the latter quite easily, it's usually not smart enough to figure out the former.
For a power user, an XP install can be perfectly solid (I'm staying away from Vista until SP1 is out - simple prejudice). For a tech-naive home user, I think XP can be very dangerous.
So I take it that both GP and P are fully versed in topology, abstract algebra, and the other fields needed to understand the mathematical underpinnings of M Theory, and so capable of directly evaluating the mathematical propositions of the theory/ies? 'Cause I know I'm not well enough versed in the necessary math, and I am sure as hell not going to try to take sides in the debate on the basis of a reading of either Brian Greene or Peter Woit.
One could easily translate option four as "the ends justify the means." If an innocent child starves to death, which entails a great deal of suffering, is that justified because the child then finds itself in heaven? Option three can be translated as "God plays favorites." Again, percievable outcomes are not correlated in a just manner.
Those who wish, for lifestyle reasons, to be atheists? I don't wish to be an atheist: I wish to hell there WERE someone in charge to fix things. But I look at the problem of theodicy, and see that a just and omniscient and omnipotent creator could NOT allow some of the horrors that have been visited upon the innocents of this world - so either I have to believe that God doesn't exist, or God doesn't care. By your definition, a God who doesn't care isn't a God at all, so you would call me an atheist.
Evolution doesn't say anything. There are thousands of books and papers which study the process of evolution and which together inform a kind of consensus narrative on what evolution is and how it works, but there is no Holy Scripture of Evolution. Fear the man of One Book, for he will reject the evidence of his eyes.
Roddenberry's intro to the novelization of Star Trek: The Motion Picture responds to the whole Kirk/Spock sexual tension thing in Kirk's voice with a disclaimer to the effect of (I'm paraphrasing from memory, and I read the book when it came out): "there's nothing wrong with two men being attracted to each other, but if I were to go in that direction, I think I'd choose a sexual partner who was interested more often than every 7 years."
I can think of three women Kirk certainly slept with of the top of my head: the slave girl in Bread and Circuses, Miramanee, Carol Marcus; and there are a lot of probables.

Thank you for making sure that if I posted my immediate reaction to that post, it would be modded redundant. . .

So, you see, things are a lot more complicated than some folks seem to think.
Earth-Moon is a different order of magnitude than Earth-Mars.

The radio outrage if it had been a "pro-life" group that Verizon had banned?

Exactly how is keeping a log of your blog's URL spying on you? After all, a blog is a publication, and you can't see it without - the URL!
No, *smart* drug smugglers are the last people in the world who want marijuana legalized.
Heinlein was a Douglasite.

He says that libraries are proof that government can work and you label him a socialist. Well done, Mr. Carlson!

Yorkshire hasn't been a meaningful single political entity since the 1880s; and the ridings haven't even existed since the 1970s.

Absolutely: open access does NOT have to mean the end of peer review!

The "circle of the earth" refers to the circularity of the horizon, and could suggest either a sphere or a cylinder.
