It is more or less saying that evolution is a fact, but it's God that drove evolution to man and gave him the soul.
This is an excellent point because I think this is what many people mean when they refer to Intelligent Design. It is not the same thing as the thinking of creationists, which is rather easily rebutted. How can you prove or disprove that God drove the progress of evolution? It just comes down to one's faith. Why is this even an issue?
It was controversial because a lot of people thought it was bad to waste money on a crappy show. Better to fund something worthwhile. Personally, I'm of the opinion that they can spend their money on whatever they like. Even if it's stupid.
Why is that scary? He and the other 3rd party candidates are the only ones that actually have to work to be competitive in the race. You wonder why the race is so close between Kerry and Bush (and Gore and Bush in 2000), but it's because except for a couple issues, they say the same bullshit.
Maybe so, but would they be forced to release this export functionality in the normal distributions? I doubt it; probably it would only be included for big organizations like governments that complain about it.
Not just that but if the eye stays perfectly still everything will became washed out. Vision requires constant movement of the eyes even if they are frequently very small movements.
It's just not 'stress' in the way that many would imagine the stress of a responsibility for many people or millions of dollars.
This is an excellent point, and I think that it comes to a large extent from experience and education. Primarily experience, but looming deadlines in college that force all-nighters (or earlier preparation) help to build this experience. When you get to a certain point in life, what most people would consider stress for what you're doing (managing millions of dollars or people) is not stress to you because it's just normal. And not in an unhealthy way.
The distribution of source code must include everything reasonably necessary to build the code as a binary. So, that includes makefiles. See the following from the GPL:
"
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable."
That's true, but the grandparent was talking about Jakarta Collections. To get comparable functionality (for some things) you have to install additional third-party software and keep track of the dependencies for each application.
In particular, to do something relatively simple like easily getting command-line arguments you need to use a third-party. It comes down to your particular application. If I'm writing a quick-and-dirty app that requires command-line parameters and is platform independent, I'll use Python over Java anyday. I don't want to rewrite the command-line parsing code and I don't want to install another jar.
The fact that Jakarta Commons Lang exists further emphasizes this point. Most of the functionality it adds to the Java base install is already in Python by default.
I think he's referring to the fact that you have to download the Java stuff separately and install the jars into your CLASSPATH. By default Python, has a lot of the features you're talking about with one install. This is very nice for some quick and dirty applications.
Another thing that I like about Python is the sane way they treat environment variables and other platform-specific features. Rather than ignoring them like Java tries to.
This would be good because in my research I must sometimes access older
articles as well. If they're not available through an institutional
subscription they typically cost $8+ an article to purchase. So, I like
the idea of publicly funded research being publicly
available.
However, I think that it would be difficult to say how
far this should go back. Most journals only have online access for the
last few years and are continuing to add to that. What incentive would
they have to make these older articles available if they're just going
to give them away?
If that were true, it would be nice if this became so commonplace that you could "hibernate" every night for about 8 hours. Thereby, extending your lifespan by ~33%.
I think I've heard that as well, but Crossover Office have shown that MS Office can successfully be run under Linux. And relatively painlessly by my understanding. If MS did put out a port of Office (big if), I would expect that they would try to license the Crossover Office technology from Codeweavers or buy them.
I ran into a similar problem that the linked page refers to while running a Java app on a Solaris server. The fix that solved my problem was to execute "ulimit -n 1024" in bash before starting the VM. Other shells have analogous commands. This makes the maximum number of file descriptors equivalent to what is the default under my Linux distro (i.e., 1024). This does not sound to me like a PHP problem.
I'm not a physicist, but the Wikipedia article states, "A theory of everything is needed to explain phenomena such as the big bang or gravitational singularities in which the current theories of general relativity and quantum mechanics break down." What I've read in the past indicates (for various reasons that I can't explain), that you can use one or the other to try to explain the big bang and gravitational singularities but not both. I'm thinking I read that in Stephen Hawking's A Brief History of Time, but I could be wrong.

If you're using all XP or 2000, why not use Remote Desktop? There's a really good linux client as well if that's the reason you were using VNC.

See, he's saying that OS X will be Linux instead of BSD in ten years.
Maybe so, but would they be forced to release this export functionality in the normal distributions? I doubt it; probably it would only be included for big organizations like governments that complain about it.

I thought the animation was done very well.

You know there's a reason 1984 was set in Great Britain. It seems every day that books becomes more relevant. Scary. . .
The Win32 version can be compiled from source but you neet QT to do it.
Well, that would explain why it costs money to get the win32 binaries.

Well, the difference is if I don't have a phone I wouldn't have to pay. Fortunately, I wouldn't be tapped either. Sounds like a win-win situation!

And about a million other languages.

Have they actually used this information to give people speeding tickets? I can't imagine it being cheaper for most drivers if that was the case.

My understanding is that they didn't use any of their own raw data, but the data from Rosalind Franklin. More info.

So, the important question: is the DVD trilogy going to be the special edition or the untainted versions?

But surely you can just walk in there if it's a national park and see what those big rectangular things are.

I think he's referring to how quantum physics and relativistic mechanics don't currently jibe. Hence, the search for a Theory of Everything.
