Read this interview with the original CTO for details on the brilliant designs for mesh networking, low power, and especially the display - there are fantastic advances here, the questions are whether this was the right place to do them...
However fortunately our blood is all not exposed through our skin (otherwise we'd leak anyway). For example, putting your arm in a vacuum tank is unlikely to make it explode...
As far as I understand, the pressure is exerted on the lungs, which allow gas exchange with the blood through lots of tiny air sacs.
Holding your breath doesn't work; your lungs can't contain enough pressure to help. You'll just get a ruptured lung, which is a medical emergency even if you were in a hospital and not exposed to vacuum.
/me wonders about the corner case of being in a vacuum in space and being in a hospital, that happens to be floating around... would they be able to help you then?:-)
It's quite easy to interpret the Genesis story as more than pure allegory, and for evolution to be part of the process as well... just look at the actual account: "Let the land produce vegetation; Let the water teem with living creatures; Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds"
A key issue is that for years now there have been debates about OpenOffice.org's source code being put under the control of a foundation with representatives from all major contributors, rather than Sun's corporate ownership. This would be the first step they need to take to allay the problems, but they've just put off doing it, which IMHO has decreased trust.
In South Africa criminals tend to use stolen cars, and then copy license plates from similar looking cars... of course if the car is recovered they can look at engine/serial numbers etc but it does make tracing the car harder... all based on anecdote not evidence
Yes the methodology is important - and in this case the article is a fascinating read - basically he compared the number of mistakes beforehand and afterwards, but also looked at the correlation with the number of deaths before hand and afterwards.
In this case the causes are a known problem (especially line infections) and they could directly correlate the adoption of checklists with a drop in the incidence of line infections, and subsequently with a lower death rate. Seems like fair enough science to me, and logical as well:-)
A friend of mine does this with an optical sensor over the flashing LED on the power meter (it flashes faster when more power is used) - to prevent the whole system wasting further power he uses embedded systems to run it.
Sorry, me being silly, of course its postfix and Lucene.
Proprietary it may be in terms of being unusual bit it's fairly simple and you have access to the source. The point is that even if you can't get support from them you could in principle get support from someone else at some point since the source is all available.
Zimbra is built entirely on open source software, much of it standard mail stuff (exim, spamassassin, amavisd etc), and their own mail indexing and web interface on top of that. That makes it much safer than a proprietary offering.
Yahoo! is compelling with the acquisition of Zimbra. Zimbra is amazing Ajax. Don't build your own - it is as nonstandard as you can make postfix/courier, and very intolerant of customising the backend. Instead, license Zimbra as a service, elastically as needed.
They do lots of educational institutions too and you may be able to get a good contract with them
You gotta seriously look at what was intended to be understood by Genesis 1 - even before modern theories about the age of the earth there were scholars who wouldn't have interpreted it as being literal days
The problem with that is that your very existence as a conscious observing entity is taken for granted (but cannot necessarily be explained in terms of the very theories you promote) , which has serious consequences in terms of (for example) your moral and ethical approach to theories:-)
The NetworkManager version that's in Fedora 9 absolutely rocks (totally reliable WPA amongst other things). Once it makes its way to the other distros I think you may want to reconsider.
You're assuming that being a scientist has to be your primary definition in life, with all others subject to that.
Being a scientist should mean that you can apply the scientific process to science. It's not necessarily clear how to apply it to, for example, the existence or otherwise of the human soul (let's see, Take soul, separate from body, observe effect on brain... can I try it on you?). You may not believe that anything other than physical observable matter and energy exist, but that doesn't mean that they don't, or that the scientific method would be the best way of examining them.
Yes, but I'd wager that the "misperception that he was pushing creationism into science education" was largely because he is a religious minister, so people assumed he must have said something rather than reading it carefully.
And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? If then you are not able to do as small a thing as that, why are you anxious about the rest?
(Luke 12:25)
It may not be pure reasoning on the lines of Greek philosophy, but it does contain reasoning.
He was saying they should bring up the topic because about 10% of the kids in the class believe in creationism. So you should rather engage in critical discussion than just ignore them.
He is an evolutionist. Him being pressured to resign is ridiculous, and largely due to people assuming he meant something different to what he said because he is an Anglican minister. That's called discrimination.
You didn't read what he actually said them. He didn't say they should be taught as acceptable alternatives, he said they should be discussed critically.
I wouldn't divide it as cleanly as that. You can believe that the Scripture comprises of moral spiritual and historical Truth without believing that the creation accounts contradict evolution...
Lets take the account of the origin of life in Genesis 1, for instance: "And God said, Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, on the earth. And it was so.The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their own kinds, and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind. And God saw that it was good."
So basically if you read it literally, God commanded, the earth produced vegetation - this doesn't really seem to contradict evolution to me.
The key principle is that there is a supernatural God directing natural events. There's obviously plenty more to debate here, but I think a lot of the problem stems from culturally derived views of the Bible rather than examining what it actually says in the way it was originally meant to be interpreted
And before I forget - Komodo does things I've seen no other editor do as well, like syntax highlighting and autocompletion on code from one format embedded inside others (e.g. CSS code with XHTML, Python code embedded in HTML templates, etc, etc)
Agreed, Komodo rocks. Just a correction - Komodo Edit is now free as in speech as well (they started calling it Open Komodo then changed the name back) - all the source is available under the MPL I think

Cool! Not being on OSX, I've never tried TextMate
In Komodo you can also define your own languages for syntax highlight and autocompletion, including the nesting.
