So you managed to pass philosophy 101 and think that because you can take the most pithy argument about the problem of evil and 'prove' god does not exist. Alvin Plantinga, a standing professor at Notre Dame, dealt extensively with the problem of evil and has several books on the topic. Many philosophers, even those who categorize themselves as secular, generally agree that Plantinga's Free Will Defense is a logical and mostly complete answer to the questions the problem of evil poses. Johnathan Kvanvig, at Missouri, has some incredibly excellent works on the Problem of Hell, a much more difficult topic. Both authors are well worth reading. Furthermore, theologians don't just say 'god exists, nyaa!' and leave it. The argument from contingency (St. Aquinas sustaining cause, further developed by Swinburne as an inductive study) has real legs in demanding the need for "something" to exist other than the universe. Mind you, NONE of this actually will equate the sustaining cause to the Judeo Christan God, but that's what other branches of philosophy and theology is for.
I tend to agree with Kenneth Miller. Anyone that claims to be of faith should read his book 'Finding Darwin's God' where he attempts to bridge the gap between hard evolution and it's implications for religion.
According to Iwata the states will have it by Thanksgiving '06 and that Twilight Princess will be released around then as well. Those two events coliding spells crazy sales for the big N for the holidays.
I don't people are necessarily tired of sequels, but tired of the endless stream released with no time to fallow. Half Life 2 was a sequel yes, but it was also a fantastic game in it's own right, and it was several years removed from it's original source. GTA I just don't know.. I haven't liked a single one of them.
It's not against the law. It's against White House policy, "In a 2003 memo, the White House's Office of Management and Budget prohibits federal agencies from using persistent cookies... blah blah blah." Wow, so the Bush Administration, whom you are so keen to slam as soon as you see an opening, was who set the policy that those cookies *weren't* supposed to be persistent.
I'd normally not respond and feed the fire, but I think your missing the problem a lot of us learned professing christians have with big bang evolutionists. I sometimes think I'm the minority here, or maybe more people have this problem but they can't see they have the problem in order to verbalize it. I also admit you may think I'm not as learned as I think I am. But I am very comfortable with my beliefs so that should probably count for something.
I preface this to say I don't *think* I'm a fundie. I'm generally far too mainstream for fundies to label me along with them. I fully support creation + evolution. I am not sure I have an opinion on ID apart from the fact that it's not a science (I think it should be taught in a philosophy class). More importantly, I don't believe that you *have* to read Genesis 1 as literal. My fundamental belief and view of Jonah being swallowed by a whale isn't impacted by whether it was literal or parable. There is a lesson regardless.
All that said..
Both sides try very hard to ignore the things that give them fits. Where as the fundies are happy to ignore that there really is no scientific basis for ID, the hard science evolutionists are happy to bypass some very real philisophical and logical.. facts? probably too strong a word there, I appologize.
St. Thomas believed that his 5 in unison proved GOD. Maybe all 5 are not legit. But, for example, many very smart people believe that the argument from contingency poses a real logical need for some type of unmoved, first mover. Whether we get the Judeo Christian God out of this is clearly up for debate. But we definitely (in my mind) get *something* that has to be accounted for, and hard science alone can't account for it. Maybe we get the great clockmaker that set off the big bang and let the cosmos run away on it's own. But I, by faith, am left with filling in the blanks myself. Do not fault me for filling that blank with Yaweh.
I know the common theme is that religion is a crutch for the weak. If I'm weak for believing that somehow we are more than the sum of our physical parts then so be it.
well for the day to day I don't think the impact is overly important. Mind you, no one has been suggesting using MD5 for a few years now for important security measures. (pretty soon no one will suggest it for SHA-1.. it's a never ending cycle as processing capacity grows). So always download your files from reliable sources and check the hash against the known good provided by the distributor and more likely than not you will have a good cd image or installer or whatever. So I'd not concern too much, there is not going to be a shift in the community to abandon MD5 tomorrow for the mundane checks.
Ya, I was always of the impression (I have no formal knowledge of the feline species beyond the one actively declaring ownership of the recliner atm) that cats latch with their fronts and drive with their back legs slicing. Now in fairness, considering raptor frontals would (likely) not have the same kind of usage as a cats forepaws, we may just be derailing this topic for the sake of talking about cats!:D

You've completely missed the point. You seem to equate product with proprietary implementation of data storage. In the perfect world, open standards are conformed to and what is *actually* sold is the interface, the method of getting to and manipulating that data. If MS could keep it's monopoly in that scenario, it would be because they actually created the best product instead of holding your data hostage, threatening that if you move away from them you'll never be able to see your files again.
Putting it on the internet is, in fact, fair game, but CNET including it in a published work that would disseminate over a large population is pretty clearly well outside an accepted code of conduct for any respecting 'news agency.' Tho, I don't suppose many consider CNET more than half assed journalism hacks.
if writing non standard compliant code breaks the site.. then yes you will. no one is asking for everyon'e pages to be coded up to xhtml 1.1 and css 2.0, in fact if you can find a short cut or a simpler (non compliant) way go right ahead, but don't whine when the page breaks because of it. the grand parent has no idea what the 'true issue' is. your data should never be proprietary and it should be portable across all platforms, IE hinders that flexibility and makes me have to work more.
What evidence will they have that you have committed any crime by emailing them? I have the legal right to turn my CDs into MP3s even with the DMCAs existence. True, if you tighten your tin foil hat enough, it looks like Sony could then try to see if you are uploading those freshly ripped tracks ergo committing copyright infringement, but the simple act of emailing can not be used against you.
they are bribing them with honey for lack of a better analogy. the article talks about super charging these little buggers with lots of folic acids which cancer cells gobble up in large quantities.
"But cancer cells, in particular, seem to need more than average amounts. To soak up as much folate as possible, some cancer cells display more docking sites called folate receptors on their cell membranes. By taking advantage of a cancer cell's appetite for folate, U-M scientists are able to prevent the cells from developing resistance to chemotherapeutic drugs."
I presume that normal cells could just as easily dock with the nano medicines but the higher likely hood is the cancer cells will do so at a higher rate and increase the penetration of theraputic treatments.
well I dunno if that's an arms race yet. It will be interesting to see if the trackers evolve and stop tracking seeds that send bad packets effectively removing them from the swarm. (note: I don't know much about the topography and responsibility of the trackers, just pondering what ifs).
pretty damned hard to make 'free' not worth it is all. I suppose you can reduce the overall number of pirates (Give me a way to see the TV shows I want when I want them and I'll stop torrenting) but I don't think they are gonna go away even with a change in the distribution model.
What does it matter if it's MS's first console rollout? You do realize that GameCube was Nintendo's first optical disc platform, right? They had as much history with optical drives/discs and Xbox and they seemed to have created of the 3, by far the most stable and reliable hardware.
