Well Obviously this old dying star system is the original home of our species. We're just the descendents of the marooned colonists who found that their pyramid space-ships had suddenly (and quite inexplicably) turned to stone.
I don't think corporations as entities for conducting businesses are inherently evil.
Corporations don't have to be evil to do harm. Business (especially big business) simply does not have the interests of the general public in mind , and they have the power to do what they like. (Dow Chemical anyone)?
The Libertarian party, as far as I understand, are extremist whackos. As far as I understand, they seem to have the tremendously naive notion that everything would be just dandy if there were no controls on the economy or on businesses. Perhaps they think that large corporations have the public interest at heart?
I, for one, would welcome our new Economist overlords. But then again, I don't think they're libertarians.
I think that because Windows comes installed on most new PC's, people don't necessarily feel that they bought the software, and so there is not much motivation for complaining about what you seemingly got for 'free'
The New Testament, especially the gospels and the book of Acts are garbled texts with multiple sources, multiple deliberate obscufations and deceptions, and are generally incoherent as texts. It is, in fact, incredibly difficult to make them, and the rest of the New Testament for that matter, agree with each other.
I suggest a close reading of "James the Brother of Jesus" by Robert Eiseman, an exhaustive examination of the relevant primary texts. http://www.depts.drew.edu/jhc/rpeisman.html for a review.
What is at issue is that certain companies have made a business of getting information free and selling it and they don't want their business undercut by everyone being able to get the raw data. Exactly, as far as I understand it. As far as I'm concerned, the public should be the direct benificiary of tax dollars spent.
I would find it distasteful if a war game included killing characters representing actual people who participate in the war (ummm unless they're villains like Hitler).
I would also find it distasteful, and disturbing, if they designed a historical simulator called 9-11, and marketed it to the public for profit.
Why don't you try posting on the Mozilla.org forums?
I don't regularly read the Mozilla.org forums. Do you? The article on/. interested me because I was thinking about whether or not I should update Firefox to the new release.
My question is not whether it would change climate, but whether such changes in climate would affect a feedback loop. Wind is caused by differentials in air pressure, which are, in part, determined by the distribution of heat inputs (I'm trying to be general here).
The question I'm asking is: how likely would it be the case that either a)the effect of massive wind power generation decreases windflow in the neighborhood of the generators(thus decreasing power generation) or b)the effect...increases windflow (with possible result of a runaway positive feedback loop).
I'm sure though that the dynamics are massively non-linear, so it might be even hard to speculate...
Yeah. I think what somebody was trying to repeat thirdhand is that most *known* large primes are Mersenne primes;
Yeah, actually, that is what I meant in my original post- I meant the known primes-- that the largest primes that we know are Mersenne because they're easier to discover/verify than non-Mersenne primes.
Is it possible that google simply has not indexed these images yet (considering that they are relatively recent)? I've heard that google images have lower priority than regular indexing.
I'll quote from Google's own website regarding romoval of pages from its search results:
"Google views the quality of its search results as an extremely important priority. Therefore, Google stops indexing the pages on your site only at the request of the webmaster who is responsible for those pages or as required by law. This policy is necessary to ensure that pages are not inappropriately removed from our index.
Since Google is committed to providing thorough and unbiased search results for our users, we cannot participate in the practice of censoring information on the world wide web."source

I wasn't talking about the spelling of Copernicus. I know that Kopernik is the Polish spelling. I assumed that Kopernik was culturally Polish though.
But damn it if AA didn't lose all my luggage somewhere between London and Los Angeles.
Copernicus is Polish. Or did I miss the irony?
How do we know that Huygens didn't land in a pool of liquid? Maybe like 5 to 10 centimeters deep.
Yes, we could potentially bake with all of our clean free energy.

Aren't most of the really large prime numbers only Mersenne primes?
Then you'd kill at least one Green Party member...
