Wahabi militant group is simply doublespeak for terrorists. These are the same islamic nut cases that let a bunch of Saudi school girls burn to death because they weren't wearing their head scarves and so couldn't leave the burning school building. Wahabi "militants" were the nutballs who ran the Taliban. bin Laden is a Wahabi militant as is Hamas and most of the Palestinian terror groups.
These guys' idea of an "independent" Kashmir is nothing more than another Sharia state to replace Afghanistan and give bin Laden a safer place to hide out.
Thats a complete assumption, you assume that a god would be more intelligent than us, but if he designed is in him image wouldn't we have that same intelligence and just not have reached our full potential yet?
Don't confuse intelligence with knowledge.
is it not possible that we are an experiment, or a recreational activity
You forgot to add: to my finite brain which is completely incapable of comprehending the intent and purpose of a being vastly more intelligent than myself.
If an omniscient god was telling you what happened, wouldn't he let you know that it was the other way around?
Why? When I tell my 8 year old why the sky is blue, I don't go into quantum theory to explain why shorter wavelengths are scattered more than longer wavelengths of light.
The writings in Daniel were designed to show God's blessings upon Israel, not get sidetracked in a discussion on celestial mechanics. Medieval monks may have debates on irrelevancies like how many angels can dance on the head of a pin, but God gets pretty much to the point He wants to make in scripture.
No, when they wrote Amendment I, it was to ensure freedom of political speech, not the ability to rat on a company's products.
Freedom of speech has been totally twisted out of its original meaning and with the willing help of the likes of most people on slashdot. Thus we have people here screaming because a couple of bloggers might have to pay through the nose because they ratted out trade secrets, and cheering because campaign finance reform shuts down the ability of people to express political opinions through campaign contributions and media advertisement.
In other words, they cheer when the very speech the amendment was designed to protect is stifled, and scream in anger when a type of speech the amendment could care less about is questioned.
Unfortunately, the priesthood of science has been corrupted on the altar of politics, and the scientific clerics can no longer be trusted to give us the unadulterated truth on these matters, especially when it's time to renew the grant money.
The best, most conservative evidence of the day says that human impact on global warming is negligible, and that, therefore, we really don't need to do anything at all.
Now, of course, you aren't interested in the best, most conservative evidence, because you are all for doing something, anything right now, immediately before we all suffer catastrophic apocalypse.
So much for taking the best, most conservative evidence.
Global warming is nothing more than the latest tool of the ever with us tyrants to put themselves in power and tell you how to live your life.
Remember, the tyranny that makes you feel morally superior is the tyranny you embrace, and the modern green movement is all about moral superiority.
The overall reaction is an efficient ozone sink, with a rate of reaction 1500 times greater than the one with O*. This pushes the O3/O2 equilibrium downward. More ozone is continually being produced by sunlight hitting O2, but since the O3 is disappearing faster, the result is a much lower concentration of O3 relative to O2 than if no Cl* were present.
What's the rate of reaction of O2 -> O3? That's the governing rate that determines reactant to product ratios.
Get real. Like the greens are going to let you pave over something the size of Alaska with solar cells. We can't even get them to let us drill in a desolate frozen waste the size of a football field.
Oh, sheesh. There's nothing more annoying than an anti-religious bigot who thinks he knows all about what religion teaches, opens his mouth to tell us all about it, and proves that he doesn't have a clue at all as to what religion teaches, all the while thinking he is enlightening us with his brilliant understanding of religion.
Christianity (which is what you really mean when you say religious fundamentalist, let's just be honest about it). Teaches that MAN is a special creation of God. There is NOTHING in modern Christianity that would be threatened whatsoever by the discovery of life on Mars, your little prejudices notwithstanding.
Christianity also would not be threatened by the discovery of other intelligent life that wasn't like Man. The Book of Revelation discusses other creatures in the attitude of worshipping God. Christians could simply point to this scripture if other intelligent life were found.
Now, let's just cut to the chase. You don't like Christianity because it talks about sin. Specifically, it talks about some particular sin that you like. It threatens your lust for personal anarchy born of your radical individualism and so you must discredit it at all costs.
What is the ratio of terrorists in poor countries compared to those in rich countries? Very high.
And I thought Saudi Arabia was a very rich country. Silly me.
You know, the terrorist leaders are all wealthy men. Arafat was a billionaire, ditto bin Laden. Why aren't people like you demanding they share THEIR wealth and improve the condition of THEIR people?
Non-intuitive. You're just accustomed to it. Here's the intuitive way, the way most people think:
d - delete dw - delete word dl - delete line c - copy cw- copy word...
etc.
etc. If you're going to use abbreviations, follow the conventions and rules for abbreviations as used in English, not some programmer-ese that makes sense to no one in the real world.
the fear will breed opponents to the US. The stronger the fear is, the likelier it is to fool individuals into thinking they can solve things by killing US citizens.
You win the prize for the greatest misunderstanding of human nature. Congratulations.
The terror factor would be through the roof. The actual damage would very minor. Chernobyl was a incredibly HUGE dirty bomb. It killed a few hundred in the immediate vicinity, and may kill a few hundred more in twenty years from cancer. But the hysteria it produced was off the scale. People in Italy, thousands of miles away were in a panic because a radioactive cloud about as powerful as solar radiation in Denver on a sunny day was heading for them.
Slashdot Mirror
Only to people ignorant of the political situation in Saudi Arabia.
To whit: the Saudi GOVERNMENT is trying to eradicate Wahabbist radicalism from their country (you do know they banished bin Laden, right?)
The Iraqi GOVERNMENT was SPONSORING terrorism.
Got it?
When you find me these other groups flying jets into buildings while crying Allah Akbahr, call me.
There is no North Dakota. It's a government conspiracy.
Yep. I remember that. A few days after the eruption, there was a fine layer of powdered ash all over everything. This was in Colorado Springs.

Both of which would be a purpose.

The best description I heard regarding engineers and physicists is this:
An engineer knows how to turn the crank.
A physicist knows why you turn the crank.

Too much water is needed. Just cut off the air supply and let the fire smother.

What radiation? It's made of dark matter.
Let me introduce you to the concept of rhetorical irony....
And I thought Saudi Arabia was a very rich country. Silly me.
You know, the terrorist leaders are all wealthy men. Arafat was a billionaire, ditto bin Laden. Why aren't people like you demanding they share THEIR wealth and improve the condition of THEIR people?
I don't know where you got your numbers, but this site
places total deaths at 41.
You are also aware, of course, that it is the exposure that counts, not the source.
Oh. I guess not.
Non-intuitive. You're just accustomed to it. Here's the intuitive way, the way most people think:
...
d - delete
dw - delete word
dl - delete line
c - copy
cw- copy word
etc.
etc. If you're going to use abbreviations, follow the conventions and rules for abbreviations as used in English, not some programmer-ese that makes sense to no one in the real world.
And is therefore bad UI. A UI is not about forcing the users to do what you want, but making it easy for the user to do what they want.
