Yet Einstein implied as much when he said: "God does not play dice." Many scientists and mathematicians are guided by what they see as divine beauty. If that isn't supernatural causation, what is?
A quote from Einstein frequently taken out of context by defenders of creationism/ID. He was refering to uncertainties indicated by quantum theory that he refused to accept. The remark is not an invocation of religious belief at all.
Good point here. Non-computability (complexity) enters into many successful scientific theories and does then no harm.
Again, out of context; a common example of wedding a rigorous scientific or mathimatical idea and a mystical one. ID excels at this.
The evolution of life is such an awesome phenomenon it deserves a much better theoretical foundation than currently exists.
That might come to pass, but it won't be anyting as idiotic as ID.

"Google manages to achieve this with sophisticated techniques for rippling changes through the cluster, yet achieves 100 per cent uptime. This is serious stuff, and there are a lot of IT managers out there who would give their eye-teeth to be able to do it half as well."
Sigh...as an IT manager I can only dream of 50% uptime. Damn you, Google!

I live in the city, so I don't have a "yard" or a used book store within walking distance. Even if I did, how much could I get for my personal CD collection? $2-$3 a pop, even if the locals had the same taste as I do.
Amazon allows me to get my stuff in front of thousands of people across the country who are actually looking for that obscure CD I have for sale. In many cases I've doubled my money with the hard-to-find stuff, all by just doing a search and fillng in a form. I just drop it all in the mail box at shipping time.
That is really convenient and I'm glad to give a piece to Bezos for the help.
You can't see the Chrysler Bldg from that point on Park. The Met Life bldg blocks your view, as do all of the other tall bldg's along Lexington Ave north of the Chrysler.
I seems a view like that would only come from an upper floor in a bldg on a side street between Lexington and Park.
I've dated two cute women who were Sims nuts (that's right--cute gaming chicks--two of 'em. No, don't ask me where I found them--go find your own). In both cases there were times I came over when they had a Sims session going on. So they just let it run by itself while we cooked dinner or whatever and eventually the Sims would start a fire in the Sim kitchen and burn everything down. This always happened. Cracked me up every time.

One Click didn't go anywhere. It's still available on Amazon. You won't see it unless you are signed in.

For a second there I though you were talking about "faith-based initiatives".
It's true. Our nation symbol is no longer the American Eagle, but Paris Hilton.

Goog point. You would need some major cojones to try and sell air and water to we Americans!

No, actually, it's good non-fiction

The way of the warrior
Is the path of shadoooooooow
The gift of the warrior
Is to perceive that which cannot be seen
(don't you mean "which cannot be perceived"?)
The spirit of the warrior
Is to STRIKE in a single moment (should be under "way")
The destiny of the warrior
Is balance in all things (file under "spirit")
And when balance is lost (gasp...)
All that is left (dramatic pause...)
Is... the reckoning
Yeah..."the reckoning"...right.
