As a college student, I couldn't be happier with my school using this. If you get away with plagiarizing a paper in school the following thing happen:
1.) If the course is graded on a curve (most are) you wind up brining down the grade of the rest of the class (assuming that you copied from a decent source)
2.) You waste the professor's time grading someone else's work
3.) You don't learn the material that would have if you wrote the paper-- you come out of school a with a little less knowledge
Cheating is probably the most anti-intellectual thing you can do. It has no place in any university. One does have to consider borderline cases and first offenses, and should give the student the benefit of the doubt. If I ran a school, anyone caught repeatedly cheating would be expelled and their names would be added to a page on the school's website.
Futurama has already thought of it. In the year 3000, advertisers inserting their propaganda in dreams is as common and accepted as road side billboards.
Please cite some reputable sources. I'd like to see one example where a judge denied custody to a parent expressly b/c they were a pagan. If that were the case, any appeals court would have overruled based on the first amendment.
Is religious fundamentalism more ingrained in Saudi Arabia than in the USA? Maybe, maybe not, but I'm sure there must be exceptions either way.
The difference between the religious zealots in America and those in Saudi Arabia is that the ones in America don't lock school girls in a burning school because they can't find their burkas. In America, we don't have massive public beheadings in soccer stadiums. In America, everybody has the right to practice their religion with out obstruction by the government. This does not happen in France and certainly does not happen in Saudi Arabia. There is no comparison.

I always call attention to the fact that many of our greatest minds, a perfect example being Albert Einstein, would today have been diagnosed with ADD, prescribed stimulants, and had the insights that they would have otherwise shared with the world snuffed out and replaced with mindless conformity.
What evidence do you have of this? I can think of Bob Dylan, who clearly had (and probably still has) ADHD, a counter example. During 1965-6, what most would argue to be his best period, he would regularly take methamphetamines before writing. These would calm him down the point that he could write very non-trivial songs in a short period of time. Had Einstein taken a little meth he could have been even more productive. Now that you can get Ritalin from a doctor instead of meth of JD on 15th and M, why deprive yourself of safe, helpful medicine?
The micro payments system erodes our privacy. With a cc number connected to micro payment id numer connected to every user id in many websites, a lot of web activity will be recorded on your credit card statement as a summary of what your micro payment bill was. Thus, your isp, micropayment company, and your credit card company (and the govenment via patriot act) could see your activity. If you throw it all into a database, anyone who wants to can infer via datamining all sorts of fun information about you.
From my experience, you would want things that are denser than aluminum to be used to skip stones-- they retain more energy as they skip through the water.
We had seen one of his videotapes and could reasonably guess that it the stone skipped over fifty times. In these kind of skips, the stone will skip something like 12 times in what looks kind of like a skid, after each skid, the stone files up again and repeats the skidding process. This happened five times to the stone, with each skid shorter than the last. In other words, all of the skips do not take nearly the same amount of time, some are extremely short and fast while other are more familiar, longer skips.
I have witnessed a guy in MINNEHAHA SPRINGS, WVA skip a stone over fifty times. It was on a man made lake with a bank that contained many large peices of slate which were ideal for skipping. When watching him skiped, I noticed that he threw the stones with a slight curve.
He did provide a highly visbile link to the definition of SPF. That page gave a very good overview of the topic. Why cater to (define NOT_FLAMEBATE)lazy people who don't read the articles?
I think it's fantastic that major ISPs are taking proactive steps to curb junk email from their users. SPF seems like a great system because it introduces accountablity though simple server software, not some crazy, e-comerce based postage-stamp solution.
I was surprised to read that GATE was not listed in the package list. It's the best piece of software to tie together the descrete components that were included. Another complaint is that are a lot of so-so implimentations of very good algorithms. (#define NOT_FLAMEBAIT = 1) I suppose that you have to turn to corporate software to get the really robust implimentations and to free software when you want the cutting edge.
The real way around this for the United States and the EU is to cultivate technical excellence among their own citizens-something the current corrupt governments and corporate elites are hesitant to do.
All of the major refcent technical achievemants have been done in the US and Europe (and to a certain extent India.) Sure a lot of these people are Chinese emigrants but China has only attempted tp copy work that was already done to add more restrictions on personal freedom. In the free world, you can write open source software as an alternative to restrictive corporate software. In China, you'd probably be shot in the head of you wrote software that was a freer alternative to Red Flag linux.
But why not concentrate on implementing IE's version of DHTML? Given, MS doesn't follow set "standards" in this department. But many developers prefer MS's approach and most users (willingly or ignorantly) use Internet Explorer. These two factors cause many sites to support IE exclusively. It is very expensive for companies to implement Mozzila compatible versions of their webpages for the minority of internet users who don't use IE. Why not save everyone a lot of time and money and support Microsoft's version of DHTML?
Legal Ramifications Resulting From Use of NTLM

Mozilla 1.6 Beta Released

From http://www.mozillazine.org/talkback.html?article=3 990 Microsoft's NTLM authentication protocol, popular on Windows-based corporate networks, is now supported by Mozilla on all platforms. Previously, NTLM authentication was only available to Windows Mozilla users, requiring the presence of the Windows SSPI API. Now, the SSPI code has been discarded and a cross-platform implementation has been checked in.
This makes me wonder if Microsoft will peruse legal action to block Mozilla from using a cross-platform, non MS implementation of an MS technology. Because NTLM is undocumented, I wonder what the legal ramifications of implementing it are? Do you own a copyright to an undocumented technology?
When scientists look for life out side the solar system, why don't they focus on moons of Jupiter like planets instead of finding Earth like planets. These Jovian planets could harbor moons that could sustain intelligent life. If you look at our solar system, two planets are good candidates for life (Earth and Mars) while three moons are good candidates (Callisto, Ganymede and Europa.)
In the external solar systems we've found, most have had a Jupiter like planet orbiting near the star. This would expose it's planets to a similar amount of heat that the earth is exposed to.

1. Spend hundreds of thousands of $$$ developing product.
2. Give the product away for free.
3. ???
4. Don't profit.
