Russian forces in South Ossetia started to shell Georgian towns. Georgia responded by mobilising a military force to stop the shelling. Russia then "retaliated" with a full offensive. Why? Because Russia wants to control the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan oil pipeline. Did the US invasion of Iraq teach you nothing?
So if firefox install, by default, an ad-blocker which also blocks google ads, and ie does the same then is that going to bust its bubble? Or does google have some other source of income?
They get around the whole 'jet' naming problem by saying that 'This thing flies on a jet of air'. Yep, and I love my home latpop computer, it's so super... so it's a supercomputer.
Sounds like guys who were a little curious about their sexuality trying to justify the marks on their anuses to their wives. "I swear, it was the aliens."
Lines are not cheap at all, they require you to scroll through code that isn't visible on the screen, or they required you to use valuable short term memory to remember code that should already be visible. If you can't figure out the "obfuscated" code then you're using the wrong font/size or you're line spacing is set incorrectly.
Isn't such a "signature" very easy to forge by ubisoft in their own patch? Also, is the original RELOADED crack written in such a way that *!RELOADED!* needs to be there to work?
Of course, I'm ignoring the motive at this stage, just looking at the technical possiblity.
This whole "References" stick is the basis upon which researchers can follow someone's reasoning back to the original source, and a way to weed out people who have no idea what they are talking about but still wish to impart their uneducated opinions.
I'm not saying somnolent49 is one of these, but his statement "This is not quite true." directed towards a published article requires at least one reference refuting it's claims in order to strengthen his or her argument. I know Scientific American is only a magazine and not a proper peer-reviewed scientific journal. However, effective and speedy dissemination of quality scientific knowledge is gained through such aids as referencing, which not only aleviate a researcher from chasing down the studies that are the source of claims made by others, but also show that such claims are well-founded.
...PvE leveling and thats usually the focus of any MMORPG early in its history as players build up their characters in preparation for the end game (yes I know you can PvP at any level in WAR, but realistically people will want to race to the end levels first and likely avoid PvP as they do in so many other games...)
That's because I haven't seen any MMORPG that has stumbled upon the brilliance of gaining experience for PvP in addition to PvE. Back when grinding my nth character in WoW, it would've been so much more fun to kill 10 allies of the same level, than say gather 10 bear tongues for the same XP.
Because it isn't just spam, it is a pre-emptive strike to get people associating a USA invasion of Iran with WW3. I Nigerian lottery will hurt the person who believes in the scam. This particular email looks like political propaganda (note, propaganda isn't necessarily bad: "Propaganda is a concerted set of messages aimed at influencing the opinions or behaviors of large number of people.").
This isn't ordinary spam, but tries to get americans to wake up to themselves and associate the USA invasion of the arabic countries with the German invasion of Poland.
When Germany invaded they were told that it was the for the good of the country in pretty much the exact same way USA is doing. If you've ever caught yourself thinking "why did the Germans invade, didn't the population see this was wrong?" then look at the population of USA, as history is repeating itself. This spam is an attempt to stop it.
They must be trying to redifne the word "science", since it is completely impossible for ID to be thought of as anything remotely science given the current definition of science. Here are a number of definitions of science:
[from dictionary.com] - systematic knowledge of the physical or material world gained through observation and experimentation. - knowledge, as of facts or principles; knowledge gained by systematic study.
[from wikipedia] Science (from the Latin scientia, meaning "knowledge") is the effort to discover, understand, or to understand better, how the physical world works, with observable physical evidence as the basis of that understanding. It is done through observation of existing phenomena, and/or through experimentation that tries to simulate phenomena under controlled conditions. Knowledge in science is gained through research.
The best that I could do for ID being in science is placing it in psychology, as a study on the relationship between IQ and belief in ID.
ID can't be proven false. Also string theory can't be proven false at this time either. The difference is string theory has a strong basis in physics and has grown from the attempt to generalise physics through rigourous mathematical formulae. ID is (not even a theory) but a set of conjectures without any basis in anything that is observable.
I don't think the problem is that ID can or can't be proven false, but that ID has no grounds on which it could be conceivable to be true.
Basically, they had high points of Science and Technology, but their rabid spiritualists tried to force every little thing to be expressed in terms of religion (Just like this bill is doing) until they became what they are today. They were once top in the world, and now they are firmly at the bottom.
Wasn't it the crusades that razed the scientific knowledge of the islamic regions?

Oops, sorry, this damn new slashdot format made me think you were replying to another comment.
Are you choosing to believe the Slashdot post's summary over a comment extensively citing scientific literature?
So true. I miss multiple return types in the popular C-derived programming languages.

I'm sorry, but I like to think we've evolved our coding standards from when quipu were being used.
Code isn't important, what is important are the electrons which guide other electrons around in the circuitry... code is just syntactic sugar.

I wouldn't call coal powerstations more ecologically safe than nuclear powerstations: "The waste produced by coal plants is actually more radioactive than that generated by their nuclear counterparts"
