I will openly admit that I do not have a deep knowledge of the teachings of the bible, and that I am an atheist, who was agnostic for quite some time... I frequently enjoy discussions with those who's views differ from my own in these matters, but this is one point that I have never understood.
I did just read genesis one here And in reading it I saw nothing that says to me that god could not have simply set the evolution process in motion. Where is the incompatibility between creation and evolution? Is it because he said that we were created in his image? If this is the case, then please explain to me further... Why does his image have to be some static thing?
The government of the people, by the people, and for the people. The people who are allowed to spy are of the government, spying for the government. So your own representatives are spying on you... not you spying on someone else, after all the government represents several others as well, not just you personally, spying on the goverment is like spying on them.
So this is the like the difference between holding your camera out at arms lenght to take a photo of yourself and your neighbor taking a photo of you through your window, without your knowledge and posting it on the net...
I am not sure on this on, so if any of you know what I am talking about help me out...
I recall a wave table experiment from my 2nd year high school physics class where plane waves were generated at one end of the table and there was a half barrier at the other end, and the waves refracted at the corner, the point was that the degree of refraction was dependant on the frequency fo the wave...
Is this partly responsible for soft shadows as well?
Corporate america is run by short sighted greed. Execs don't recieve any compensation for leaving a company in good shape, they only get paid for making more money while they are there.
The poeple at the top, who make the desisions about this stuff know that in the long run it is bad, but in the short it is bad to do the right thing, and they only have insentives to make more money now, because they know that they probably will be working for some other company in 5 years...
I must point out that my employer, the American company, Pratt & Whitney, has been very involved in the development and manufacture of the RD-180; the RD-180 is the product of collaboration between P&W and the Russian company NPO Energomash. It is derived from the entirely Russian RD-170 though, read more about it here.
That would work if you could get the slack where you need it, when you need it, but you can't.
That didn't sound to good... I'll try to explain... The ice will freeze onto the cable, and when this happens on two different glaciers, and they move relative to each other, all the slack in the world doesn't mean squat unless it is in between the two frozen points...
No matter ho much slack you put in all you can do is delay the breaking of the line; these glaciers move all the time, and usually not back and forth, but in one primary direction.
Is it just me or does this seem pretty obvious? Is there some technical difficulty in doing this that I don't understand?
And on another note: If they can get hubble quality images from the ground now, what would we be able to see if we had multiple networked space telescopes in orbit?
I am as much for privacy as the next guy, but is this really that big of a deal?
We all have a 9 digit social security number in the states; and if you want to be able to function in society you have some form of official state ID (Drivers licence, or plain ID card) which has your address, date of birth, and so on, as well as your SSN (associated in the database, if not explicity printed on the card).
Most of the light output will be converted to heat after it is bounced around and adsorbed. What is really important indetermining how much heat will be produced by the light, is the lights energy requirement.
You can find many bulbs that are very bright, but don't consume nearly as much juice as an incandesant bulb of the same brightness.
This is a very simple control problem to solve... I actually think that you could do best in this competition by working on making the car faster; Most of the cars are going to have similar line following abilities.
Radio only works for the more serious traffic jams, in places where they have them frequently.
I comute from about 14 east of a city of about 2 million, to about 2 miles east of the same city. The only traffic reports I here (if I am not listening to a CD, which is rare) are about heavy volume in town. I have had 15 minute delays in my 18 minute comute that don't get reported.

Don't you get it? You are not separate from the government. If you would like to be, go live in a dictatorship.
Supposedly, in the USA:

They admitted that part of why they were doing this is for publicity for their young company...
effective, I guess, but at what cost...

But most of them are not the grad school types...
As much as I would love to blame Bush and Ashcroft...
This is the result of a slow and steady decline of our intelegence comunity since the end of the cold war.

You could solve that problem by putting them on towers and using repeaters

One Ape being able to grunt louder would likely be caused by a mutation, what other GENETIC cause could there be?
No reactor is designed to run for ever, everything has a design life, for US fision reactors, it is 50 years or 1.5 billion more seconds to go...
Do you mean they don't take your SSN at the application time, or it just isn't on the card?
The former would be news to me, the later, I am used to (Illinois, and Connecticut)

Or I could be completely wrong...

They make many RC helocopters, almost all of them run on small internal combustion engines, for reasons of both battery life and weight
They race one at a time...
I do think an automated car would have a very hard time in traffic though, and THAT would be a cool competition.
really, 9fps = ~6mph = 10min/mile, a speed that will have you near the middle of the pack at many large road races.

Radio doesn't do me much good.
Cool idea, but I think the GPS info would have to be broadcast to all cars to decide if the connection would be benificial. If this is the case...
Think of the traffic law enforcment implications; every one is blindly shouting out their speed and position. State patrol could have a field day!
