Does this mean if I buy something priced at $1.96, I have to pay $2.00 because I won't be able to make exactly $1.96?
In the same way that you can't buy something at 1.965 anymore, you will no longer be able to buy something at 1.96... it isn't too tough to grasp... you round up to what you can pay with.
so it was one of their own satellites. The US didn't own it - whats the problem?
I suppose you would have the same "what's the problem" attitude if the US started testing nuclear weapons again (on their own soil of course, so its "ok")
ID does not propose that the creator must be a diety
ha ha ha ha. Yes, in ID the creator must only be someone eternally existing with the ability to manipulate all matter in the universe at will.
But diety [sic].... no!
In case you missed it, in ID it must be a deity, or else who created the creator? If life can not come from non-life, then there must be some eternally existing intelligence to kick things off (aka God). So either you don't understand the theory, or you are lying.
You have to love when a theory tries to sound more sane by saying "but... it could be space aliens too!"
You are both right. The founding father per say were in no way fundamentalist. But the culture of most of the people who came here had a strong religious bend to it.
Firstly, NPR has some amazing stuff. I dare you to listen to the most recent halloween episode of this.
Secondly, if a competitor is violating the law, what is wrong with suing? Were you equally as angry at competitors who went after MS for anti-trust allegations (which turned out to be true).
1) I believe I read the "censorship" was just the user community flagging the video, not Youtube. Of course, the real point of this is the desire to feel 'persecuted' so they don't both pointing that out. It is better PR if it seems your ideas are being 'censored'.. instead of 'no one wants to hear them'.
2) Even if they are.... who cares? I thought 'conservatives' were all about individual rights, as in, a private company can do whatever the hell it wants. They are quick to point this out with protestors acting against private companies (crashing shareholder meetings, etc) so why the double standard?
The product launch is about a month away, you put down $100. Lets say you could get 4.40% (currently what I get on savings).
($100*.044)/12 =.36
So you are paying a.36 "fee" to be certain to get a system. Ripoff? hardly.
no way, this bubble is way different. This time, instead of being unprofitable while hoping to strike it rich with any IPO, companies are unprofitable and hope to be bought out by Google.
Everyone learned from the last time, obviously the stock market is untrustworthy.
So the government failed to fund a company who promised unbelievable results with no byproducts while not supplying any details? I must say, I'm actually proud of them. Glad to see tax dollars aren't being wasted on Vaporware
US: Hey EU, we need to talk about your Pieces of Information
EU: Oh, is there a problem, I thought I was giving you the right number, 34 is the minimum right?
US: Oh, yes, 34 is the minimum number of pieces of information, if you just want to do the minimum
US: Look at Bulgaria over there, they give 54 pieces of information, don't you want to be like Bulgaria?
EU: Look, if you want 54 pieces of information, just make the minimum 54
US: I just want you to want to do more than the minimum
Sorry, I forget the actual script, that's off the top of my head.
There is no guarantee of privacy anywhere in the Constitution- only a requirement that the evidence gathered can't be used against you in court.
Only on/. would something this dumb be said. The constitution is not a computer program: "gee, you're right... you don't actually have a right to air"
So you're telling me the MLK's rights were not violated when the FBI threatened him with the release of his personal activities if he didn't do what the government said? Please.
As others pointed out 'theory' doesn't mean 'guess.'
The word you're searching for is hypothesis. Here's how it works:
1) Data
2) Hypothesis that explains current data
3) Prediction derived from Hypothesis
4) Data from new tests
5) See if hypothesis matches #4 data
6) Repeat, then hypothesis is called theory
So, if something can not be tested by going through that process, it is just a hypothesis looking for a way to become a theory. Atomic theory has gone this way too, there was always a theory that explained current data, and had some predictive power. These models eventually failed as new tests were made. Therefore new hypothesizes needed to be created.... This is the scientific process.
Ummm... they didn't surrender after dropping one on their city, so why would they be more likely to surrender if we just dropped it on a forest? Actually, they didn't even surrender (they way we waned) after we leveled two cities.

It was a really good interview...
Missed the obvious: "There's no such thing as a free launch"
Making different denominations different sizes or shapes would result in complete and total havoc
Do you realize that all of Europe did this, largley without incident?

Is there anything I'm missing there about ID?

The resultant virus was disabled so that, after replicating once in a cell, the daughter viruses could not replicate. So there was no risk.
Life will find a way.... have you learnt nothing?
You know, they now podcast their entire episodes! It is great.

So if internet-related tasks are part of your job, what's the difference between being an "internet addict" and a workaholic?
What if you work at a brewery? If you drink constantly and can't stop are you an alcoholic or a workaholic?
I think I know the answer.
It also should be noted:

That I did not know... then the pre-order is so you're in line ahead of most people right... ie. they fill out the pre-orders, then stock the shelves?
The product launch is about a month away, you put down $100. Lets say you could get 4.40% (currently what I get on savings). ($100*.044)/12 = .36

I love it when something I read about in a sci-fi book 20 years ago comes to life in a practical application.
You won't be so chipper when you are drinking your recycled urine and feces through a straw in 2026.

You are just making yourself look less intelligent. Such topics have been covered in the past

Only on

"we don't have to worry about the food being bad" would be a logical fallacy.
False, whether the food is bad does not cause me worry when I walk into a Mac Donalds.
Wow, this post was so amazingly wrong....

We had the founding fathers, then maybe 50 or 100 years to bask in their glow
It says a lot about your understanding of US history that you think it was like that.
I read this earlier, I couldn't think of a better example of "damned if you do, damned if you don't"
Military uses them first on US citizens:
OMG the Military is testing weapons on US citizens!
Military uses them first on non-US citizens:
OMG the Military is testing weapons on non-US citizens! What are those people worth less to you racists?
Military doesn't develope these weapons:
OMG the Military is using deadly force against civilians
