Hmm, we have a report with actual data and methodology given, but some bloke on/. calls "BS" and says "trust me" as his evidence that the data are wrong.
Yeah, it's a close one, but I'm going to go with the study in TFA.
Why would the microphone be where you put the phone to your ear? And why would sound come out of it when you are on the phone?
While what you learned here doesn't necessarily "change your point" it does invalidate the single anecdote you had to support your point. So there's that.
Brace yourselves you whiney little geeks. Star Trek...BAD SCIENCE. Star Wars...BAD SCIENCE. Star Gate...BAD SCIENCE. In fact...damn near every science fiction game, movie, and most books involve BAD SCIENCE. Even Ringworld had a long series of sequels trying to undo another piece of bad science from the previous books! THIS IS ENTERTAINMENT YOU JACKASSES!
If you're not dead from an aneurysm: the difference is none of your examples are marketed as good science, or even science (other than "science fiction.") Spore's (EA's) marketers have claiming that the game is an accurate representation of evolution, and even that there's interest from colleges to use it to teach science. That's OK with you?
I think you're believing what you want to believe, which is fine, but not necessary rational or logical.
Finally, as noted elsewhere, at the very least that fact that she would appoint someone who would institute such a policy (whether or not she knew) can be taken as a statement of her character.
That's cool with me, but I bet you don't hold Obama to the same standard. When the shoe is on the other foot, it's "trying to show guilt by association."
Wow, what a load of shit! When's the last time you heard fundamentalist christians complaining about the 100,000+ cases of sites, books, and music "reciting the lord's prayer backwards?" Much less complaining loud enough to get it censored? I'll tell you when: never.
Hindu mob violence in India has nothing to do with "sacred texts" being reproduced. You have no ide what you're talking about. Same with Buddhism -- I am 100% certain that none anywhere would be offended by any use of their "sacred texts", since they really don't have any sacred texts, as they tend to not confuse the symbol for the reality as Islam does so often.
If you have some actual evidence, put it out. The speculative "it would very much surprise me if" and "how confident are you that" weasel phrases are weaksauce.
How does that in any way dispute the fact that Islam's text is not one of a "religion of peace?" So Christianity isn't either -- so they're both horrible. And?
Which would be odd, since there are no such passages. In fact, the only other religion I can think of that has a problem with their religious text being reproduced is Scientology.
Neither deserves to get their way just because they want it, yet some followers of both use terrible means to try to enforce their way. Pretty sad, eh?
Relax Francis. It's not like I think women should pay for rape kits. And I don't believe Palin knew about it, and I think the blame lis on the police chief. You have no evidence otherwise.
Isn't it only high profile as of recently? I can't find any stories about it from before Palin was selected for VP. In that case, it's not really hard to believe at all, is it?
Your link does not in any way support the rumor that Palin "believe[s] in charging women to get rape exams" which is what the post to which I replied claims.
Link? More info? Who was broadcasting holographic images to allow "live TV?" And how would the "lead investigator's" death stop anything (did you mean "researcher?") -- This isn't Japan where people store all the key data in their brains and refuse to write things down. Surely he left notes, no?
I'm stuck with 7. Maybe we'll eventually get 8 and it won't suck as bad. But it sure sucks hard now, and the idea of "re-coding a button" in a friggin mail client is outrageous, especially to someone who came from using the perfect out-of-the-box Thunderbird.
Of course not -- Notes in the 90's had a clunky and ugly 80's-style UI. I mean Notes looks like what most UI's looked like in the 90's.
If they planned to reply to more people then initially were in the list of the original email? Also at least for Version 8.5 (as I just checked) the default is to reply without attachments to save space.
I have 7.0.3 and there is no default -- clicking "reply" brings down a list of "reply" (which is w/attachment), "reply with history" (with attachments), "reply without attachments" (but not history), and "reply with internet-style history" (with attachments.) You have to click twice just to reply, and be sure to click the right one, even though the "true" right one (reply with history but no attachments) doesn't exist, so I have to reply with history and then manually delete the attachment. A veritable UI suckfest.
But it is a moot point if you are an 8.5 server because it only ever stores one copy of attachment ever on the server. So you can respond 50 times to the same person if the attachment is the same only one is stored on the server for all users.
It sure does eat up space on my hard drive in my replicated database -- you know, the replicated database I need to read email offline?
I'm pretty sure Apple could charge $1.06 if they wanted to, and it wouldn't make the slightest difference in terms of sales.
I'm pretty sure you're wrong, since I've read research to the contrary. Unfortunately, I'm too lazy to look for it, so I'll just leave this as-is -- it's as equally supported as your claim, so we cancel out until someone posts a link to the study.

You're right, Tron did not rip off snafu, it ripped off the arcade game Blockade from 1976, which started the long line of ripoffs including Worm for the TRS-80 in 1978 (and then for the Apple ][ and the Commodore PET,) a retail version for the TI-99/4A by Milton Bradley in 1980 called Hustle, and Snake for the BBC-Micro.

I'm surprised that no one else has taken the time to point out that you are, in fact, a dick.
That's almost as stupid as it is unconstitutional and inefficient.

Yes, that's right. Next question.

Isn't it the responsibility of the party claiming something to show evidence, rather than requiring the doubters to prove a negative?

Why is this rumor still being touted as true? Palin never made any woman pay for any rape test. No one did. It's all bullshit.
It's only (barely) usable if you've never tried safari on an iphone. You just can't do the zoom and pan right without multitouch.
What? Those articles are locked and have been for a while (or at least they were yesterday when I posted.)

Um, he just gave one (naked short selling) in a reply to a post that mentioned two others (Patrick Byrne, Gary Weiss.)
Since when do nouns have tense?
