Morality aside, I think the military would be pragmatic enough to know that a fearless solder probably wouldn't last too long in a battle. Fear has a purpose.
RF signals are not imaged - all the data is encoded in the time variation of the signal. Hence, focus is not relevant. Increased gain does NOT mean increased noise - which is why having a big satelite dishes improves reception.
And I can't believe I just weighed in with a serious response on this article. Time for more coffee.
Yes, I know this book is about writing portable C/C++ code.
I have to switch between Linux and Windows (Linux has the AVR tools, Windows supports the drivers for our Vector Network Analyzer). I've written most of my (non-avr) code in Python. I've been able to move my testing code and GUI interface code effortlessly between the two environments.
And yes, python has been released for PalmOS. So there.
That the nature of the world changed as a result of the fall is, I believe, a Christian tradition. The sin of Adam and Eve plays almost no role in Jewish theology, although I understand it is important to the Christian concept of original sin.
The Jewish dating of the calender is by no means "sacred" - it was worked out by rabbis as best as they could from the texts. Everyone needed to agree on the year so they could have a coherent calender, but whether 5766 is the correct number of years is not particularly significant. It's just the best estimate of the rabbis who worked out the calendar.
The reason to date from the creation of Adam is that scripture mentions how old he was when he died - started the clock at when he was created.
What is the ID "debate" actually about? Ask one of the prominent ID theorists.
Darwinian evolutionary doctrine, because it is aimed at teaching an atheistic, amoral
paradigm of society, is an important tool used by liberal-socialists to dismantle the social
and political order upon which the Constitution was based in 1787.
Clearly, there is more motivating this than scientific thought. There is the concern about not teaching about God, and perceived impact that will have on the morality of the nation. Do we teach what is scientifically correct, or what some think will give the best moral education? Science is survival for us, at this point. To play games with our science education puts us at risk.
I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day: I have put before you life and
death, blessing and curse. Choose life -- if you and your offspring would live. (Deuteronomy 30:19).
What would God have us do? Live, or die because we insist on ignorance, thinking it's what He wants?
Oh, just check the RFID tag/credit card database at office depot...

Vim 6.4 Released
·
· Score: 1
I learned to use vi about ten years ago, and still use it quite a bit. However, I only use a tiny feature set - I'm not even sure how to do search and replace (no, don't tell me, I don't really care.)
That being said, I do like that
1) It's on every unix system, and
2) It doesn't require any control characters to work.
So no matter how convoluted or weird my login path to the machine I'm editing on, I know I can edit a file. These, to me, are the principle defining features. Oh, and hitting a percent sign to find the corresponding bracket or paranthesis is also very handy...
Except they're not in circulation - their sitting in big piles on top everyone's dressers. They keep making more because they go OUT of circulation so quickly. And a 19% profit margin on PRINTING MONEY is not too impressive. I understand it's congress's issue, not the Mint's. Still, SOMEONE should get rid of these things!
As long as were ranting about coins, can we finally get rid of pennies? If the copper coating is scratched, they provide a health risk when swallowed (as kids sometimes do), as stomach acid attacks rhe zinc and can lead to a sharp edge. No other coin is attacked by stomach acid, and who uses pennies anymore anyway?
A team led by Nobuyuki Kawai of the Tokyo Institute of Technology used the Subaru Observatory on Mauna Kea, Hawaii, to confirm the distance and fine-tune the redshift measurement to 6.29, using a technique called spectroscopy.
Who in the world would know what a redshift measurement of 6.29 meant, but would NOT know what spectroscopy is?
If you actually read the article about "most studies are wrong", you see that it was about finding statistical significance in studies about populations (mostly in medical studies.)
The studies about the ozone layer do not fall into this category.
The "most studies are wrong" article was an interesting view of a statistical phenomena - if you are looking for positive correlations with statitics at a 95% confidence level, your incidence of false positives may be higher than 50%, for a sufficiently low number of actual positive correlations.
That's very relevant to medical studies, but not to observations of the ozone hole.
References to that article are going to annoy me for a long time, I can tell.
Romans 1:26-27:"For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence [sic] of their error which was meet."
Corinthians 6:9: "Corithians 6:9-10: "Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God"
While your sentiment is commendable, most of the churches officially condemn homosexuality. There are new testament scriptural reasons for this.
I also get annoyed about people citing the first five books of the bible in their comndemnation of homosexuality; eating pork is also an abomination, but I don't see Pat Robertson getting all up in arms about it.
It's completely analogous to the question of where the energy comes from when you burn something. You have the same atoms afterwards as you did before, just in a different arrangment.
There are several ways to keep track of this energy (change in rest mass before and after, strength of the nuclear or chemical bonds, etc.). In the end, different configurations have different potential energies, and the difference must come out as kinetic energy .
The definition of a scientific theory is one that can be refuted by experiment. A theory gains acceptance when experiments that could refute it fail to do so.
Creationism is not a scientific theory in this sense - I've never heard of an experiment proposed that would refute it. I'd love to hear one if someone had one.
So the problem isn't that it's unprovable - it that it's not refutable.
My understanding is that there was no detriment to either of their careers. I don't know if they were in the same chain of command (I think not), but it was second hand and several years ago. Of course, someone could have been pulling my leg...
As long as they give you a private place to change before leaving work, then no problem. But if you have to go home first to change, then it becomes a pain.

Yes, you're right - I forgot about that. 5766 years plus the six days. As Rashi said "Scripture did not [intend to] teach anything of the earlier or later sequence [of creation]" - the exact meaning of time during the six days being unclear.
According to Jewish tradition, it has been 5766 years since the creation of the world. Hence the year on the Jewish calender is 5766.

Ok, I'm over it now.
I've never heard the term before, but I find it strangely pleasing.

For those interested, vortex tubes that run on compressed air are commercially available. Search McMaster-Carr for 31035K11.
As you are a student, here's a linguistic tip - when someone claims "proof" instead of "evidence" in a scientific context, they are usually crackpots.
Peppercoin has already worked out a way to cheaply (i.e. transaction costs are much less than 1 cent)and securely do micropayments.
