True but there could be another galaxy on behind us that would see our galaxy as the inside of the circle, the inside of what we see will be the first ring, first ring of what we see will be the 2nd of what they see and our double ring will be their triple ring.
Already stated that I don't really believe it just thought it was something interesting to discuss.
But if there is a conspiracy it makes sense to keep the race close and competitive so that when the 'winner' is selected it's close enough that it could have gone either way and you don't have someone that was polling 5% miraculously winning. See Bush/Gore, Bush/Kerry for examples (not that I believe either one was rigged it's just a topic for discussion).
Not old enough to obtain a license at that time. Nice straw man argument though. There will always be things that fall through the cracks but why give up our freedoms and liberties (not to mention our constitution)for the illusions of security?
With a proper background check, proof of long term citizenship, etc. a suspected terrorist isn't going to be granted a permit to carry the gun. I have a permit to carry a gun in Oklahoma, a state and federal background check was required, fingerprints were required, and money was required. Those weed out most if not all of the people that shouldn't carry from getting a permit. You could just have the person have their permit ready at the checkpoint and they could be directed to another line or something. No permit you still go through the metal detector and x-ray and they catch you with an illegal weapon.
It's honestly our best means of protecting ourselves from thugs/terrorists/criminals. Police are the people that are there to catch the person after the crime has been committed and clean up your guts after you've been shot or clean up the mess if you successfully protected yourself. They are not responsible for preventing anything or securing your safety at all times.
Real profiling. Until grandma and grandpa with that brace on his bad knee bombs us there's no need to 'randomly' pull them aside for a more in depth search.
Tips from other countries that racially profile and do it well like Israel would help point us in the right direction. It's not all about racial profiling either. Just a mix of some good questions asked to people with other real security measures would be just as good if not better than what we have now.
Down syndrome adds no new genetic information it's just the same information copied twice. That's why they they have too much peroxide (double the production due to the doubled information) to be handled by their body.
You speak of beneficial mutations and I agree there are beneficial mutations (natural selection). The wingless beetle or the dodo bird are other examples that thrived in their invironment due to their mutations.
You still haven't provided an example of a mutation that adds new information to the genome.
But it's still based on assumptions that we can't prove. We've observed 30,000 generations of fruit flies and have yet to have one mutation that has added information to the genome. Only mutations that lose (remove) information.
I've never understood why science is so 'open minded' about things except when it comes to evolution being wrong. We must remember that evolution is historical science and we cannot test/repeat what has happened in the past. Remember science has been wrong about human ancestors in the past and has had to change its stance on them but operational science has very rarely changed. We build upon operational science to put men in space and on the moon and develop these vaccinations but historical science is guess work based on what we can observe today and then try and apply to the past assuming things were like they are now. Operational science has never disproved creation or evolution. Historical science depends on your presuppositions as to how you interpret the data. Don't forget evolutionists and creationists are looking at the same data and applying it to their respective presuppositions.
We can observe natural selection in process today and I've never heard a creationist deny natural selection but natural selection is not the same thing as grand scale molecules to man evolution. It's thought as a mechanism by which the weak die and the strong survive not how information is added to the genome.
This is historical science and as such is not repeatable. Sure we can make good guesses or hypothesize about what happened but we can't set up a repeatable experiment that can be falsifiable. As such it cannot be a theory just like evolution and the big bang can't be theories but at best hypotheses.
I thought only the lyrics could be copywritten not musical notes. Is this not true? I seem to remember Weird Al getting into hot water from the Chili Peppers for taking their music and putting his lyrics to it but there was nothing they could do about it.
So relating to the story if he was only playing the music not singing the lyrics how can he be in violation of anything?
doesn't the summary defy conservation of energy? I thought they should speed up if they get closer and slow down if they get further away like an ice skater.
I do believe they have ground penetrating radar that could work, my understanding is that the egyptian government is not allowing it.
What you are thinking of is a 3d seismic survey, commonly to find oil and gas. problem with that is you can't really image small scale things like tombs just larger scale ancient geology.
Now I just need a droid that understands the binary language of moisture vaporators.
Oh sorry, I thought every comment was supposed to have that joke in it.
ghost recon/ravenshield comes to mind for fps. no points crap just take what you want and play.
the new ghost recon advanced warfighter (GRAW) had a tac points system that allowed you to buy better guns or respawn on the leader that got hammered by the community and they implemented an option to turn tac points off. the game itself (graw) sucks but there is a demand for the games without useless 'levels'.

But it does lend more weight to the theory that we don't really pick our leaders but we have the illusion that we pick our leaders.
I gotta oppose this as well since I do have a fairly hairy chest and don't really enjoy crying.

I'm not going to discuss anything with anyone who's first line is an attack. Creationists aren't 'Flat-Earthers'.

at least there is someone else as bad as me at Photoshop!
Yes, because criminals respect the law! [/sarcasm]
At least not everyone from oklahoma is as dumb as i am. wait i mean uhhhh look a pterodactyl!
..terraforming day on slashdot? I didn't get the memo.

now we can finally watch pr0n at over 1000fps!

for the price of these new systems they will have paid for the free discs many times over.

or got stomped on by transformers.
yes. sadly some of the better stuff (Dead Like Me) get canceled for stupid reasons.
