Can't you do the same with Firefox 3? The Awesome Bar is a new feature (which can be disabled if you want), it is not intended as a replacement for good old point-and-click bookmarks.
The Olympics are the best kind of patriotism. Everyone can get really excited about their country for arbitrary reasons, and so far as I know there have been no wars over the outcome of the 100m dash.
School teachers in the US do have a really high turnover rate for various reasons. Also, your plan does not take into account elementary school, when "trained teachers" are required due to the large number of subjects taught. And indeed, if you are talking about majorly increasing teaching pay and having two professionals per class (teacher and TA), you are talking about a lot more money.
How do you know that it was not the other way around?
Are you suggesting that they included only the books that did not support their views?
The history of early Christianity is well known. Everyone knows about Arianus and all other leaders/sects/whatever that were declared heretical and persecuted, through killing, confiscation of property, denial of position, etc. This is common knowledge and available in many books. I'm not going to provide a bibliography for something that is not seriously in dispute.
No, I am not suggesting they including only the books which did not support their views. What I mean is that the canon was not formed by a top-down pronouncement. It formed at the as groups of letters and books began to circulate together and was later affirmed by synods. Moreover, you will find that in the case of disputed books, the litmus test was generally Apostolic authority, not theological correctness. So it seems that the theological views came from the canon and not the other way around, as you asserted. Note that your response was centered on persecution of heretics, not on the actual formation of the canon.
Yeah, but Matthew and Luke are commonly to be believed as being based on Mark, and were thus also written at later dates. It's inconclusive whether their endings were embellishments of Mark's story or not. But you have to wonder why Mark would leave out such an important ending to his story. And don't talk about John or Paul because they were both written way after the other gospels/time of Christ - at least if you believe current scholarly research.
Yes, Matthew and Luke used Mark as a source, not as their only source. Perhaps Mark did not omit the resurrection and there was a textual corruption of the copy which was transcribed for Codex Sinaiticus (i.e. the last page fell off). Or perhaps omitted the actual resurrection story for literary reasons. He, generally speaking, spares no expense of words (he also has no birth narrative). And all this excitement is based on the idea that Mark was first, which is by no means a sure thing.
And this current scholarly research is? . . . Paul (among other authors) did indeed write before various gospels were composed, and affirm the resurrection.
Wonder if I'll be reading about this in 20 years from the prospective that this is what allowed religious fanatics to create generations of religiously indoctrinated Christianized children that jail and execute intellectuals.
Ironically, many Christians are convinced that the converse will be happening in 20 years - they will be in jail or executed for their faith. Really I think it will be neither, it least in that time span.
This bill does not specifically force me, a LA teacher, to teach ID, or the mythical status of global warming, but it does represent law makers meddling in an area they are not experts.
This would be like the legislature directing doctors on the proper methods of suturing a wound, or instructing how to treat a form of cancer. Doctors wouldn't stand for that for more than a second because they are highly trained professionals that know how to do their job. Teachers are also highly trained professionals that know how to do their job without the state meddling directly in the goings on of the classroom.
Would a law which interfered with the improper practice of teaching or medicine be acceptable? It seems to me that many would support a law which restricts bad teaching or the practice of bad medicine, even though the legislators are no more an expert than in this case.

Hey! I'm a Christian IT Professional, you insensitive clod!
I wish that someone would create a non-bloat version of the Java class libraries. Do an analysis of important use cases, redesigned the class libraries to be much less "fluffy" and then post some metrics to show how much better it performs. Have it on my desk Monday morning.
I've been using the RC releases, and while I do like the new browser, the memory footprint is still a monster. Currently, it's using over 175MB of ram for the windows I have open (21 different pages) - and that seems excessive to me. You're right, 21 pages seems excessive to me as well.
But I type with the Dvorak keymap, and I doubt those tiny keyboards are good for touch-typing. So I think I will have to go the route of "soft" keyboards (a la iPhone) if I ever go down the smartphone road.
You mean like all those thousands of years before global population reached one billion where there were hardly any socio-economic or geopolitical conflicts?
I think one of the biggest issues here is that the US military wanted to act like a law enforcement agency. In the case of POWs, you do not execute them or imprison them indefinitely, because they are not guilty of anything. However, these cases cannot be tried in the civilian system, since due process has been violated in every conceivable way with these detainees, so the charges would likely be tossed immediately. Since neither was acceptable, the US Military opted for a third way, and that is unacceptable according to SCOTUS.
The Posse Comitatus Act prohibits the uniformed services (Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines, except the Coast guard) from participation in domestic law enforcement. State militias (i.e. National Guard units) are exempt when they are under state and not federal control.
This act would probably not apply, since hopefully the USAF would only actually activate this measure in a time of war. However, perhaps someone could pursue a legal challenge under the 3rd amendment, which prevents soldiers from quartering in private residences.

If only our politicians were a 1/10th of the man that he was.
No! Don't waste good men on politics!
Keep in mind that Apollo astronauts weren't selected because they were good scientists. They were chosen because they were good pilots.
What does being a scientist have to do with his claims? He is making his claims based on insider knowledge, not on scientific discovery.
Seriously, for such an advanced species, they make very little sense.
What makes you think an alien species shares your notion of "sense?"
Wow, I cannot believe I am playing Devil' advocate for little green men . . .

They chose the books that supported a particular set of theological views.
What is informing your assertion here? How do you know that it was not the other way around?
"...and will that have a positive effect on desktop Linux adoption?"
Until Linux wireless is brain dead easy, the answer is NO.
Last time I checked, NetworkManager is far better than Windows' native wireless client, and the same as or better than Apple's.
Why not mark comments as read via mouse-over, like Google reader?
Yes, but not until about 3 days goes by.
