What corporation has ever considered a debate to be ended when the results aren't favorable to it?
Expect criticism over experimental methodology, analysis of the data, and maybe even allegations of FCC bias by whichever side doesn't get the result it wants.
I mean that religion has often perverted the human sexual drive for it's own ends.
I don't think you even need to stop there. It seems to me that if a religion is false, than anything it asks of people is unreasonable, from self-castration down to wasting Sunday mornings.
Personally, I think the question of whether or not some religion is actually true is a pretty interesting one. From your tone I'm going to guess you've already decided that none is, though.
I was curious about the Matthew verse you quoted, and if there were any interpretations that seemed plausible and didn't make Matthew sound like a nut-crusher. I did come across this, if you're interested. Not a great article, but it's something I guess.
... but I prefer to believe that students taking courses voluntarily in high school should be...
I'm not tying to be obnoxious, but what exactly does that mean? That you have doubts about the truth of the belief, but that you're willfully suppressing them?
In my experience, hearing just one side of a story almost always leaves out important facts.
Before we go apeshit, shouldn't we maybe get the government's / police's side of the story?
I'm not saying that nothing bad happened here, just that until we know (or at least give an opportunity to be voiced) both sides of the story, we're really flying blind.
Make the case to them for why they should care. In terms of money saved, or reduced legal liability, lost opportunity cost risks associated with buggy research software, etc.
If you can't figure out how to make that case, then your company might actually not need improved software processes. If you *can* make the case, then... (a) you might get the help you're looking for, and (b) you'll have a better understanding of the
business and of software development, and (c) you'll look good to upper management, which
is always a good thing. (Just make sure to
also make your immediate management look good
as well.)
No, he later said, "If magnetic fields caused cancer, linemen would die of lukemia[sic] right and left."
I know. I was mostly just trying to be funny.
But even if we take my joke more seriously: his failure to notice higher rates of cancer in linemen (or of non-Leukemia cancers) doesn't necessarily mean it's not happening. In fact, you're Google search seems to confirm that. So we could still ding him (if we were being serious rather than just cracking jokes) for being unrigorous in his data collection method.
I agree with you there. Sometimes Police take matters in their own hands when they should be busy enforcing the actual laws on the books. In addition many police just act above the law when off duty simply because they are police during the day. Really the police should be policed more rigorously then the general public.
This doesn't strike me as a +5 "Insightful" comment. It's a broad-brushed rant with no supporting evidence. Even if it's true, it's not a novel idea. I suggest we stick with fact-based discussions.
I think there's something that's missed in all these discussions of photographers' rights: Why *do* people feel threatened by photography?
It seems that just about everyone feels anxious about being photographed by strangers: police, security guards, but even (most?) regular people.
Why? Is it a fear that somehow the photos can be used to cause actual harm? Is it the fear that a stranger photographing you can only be up to no good, even if you're not sure if/how he'd use the photos to harm you? Is it the fear that with so many laws on the books, just about anything you're doing is illegal, and photos can be used to help convict you?
Given their open development environment and the types of programmers it attracts, I think you'll only have to wait a few weeks after the release date...

What do you mean?
Are you saying that it doesn't exist, or that it's just rarer than we pretend?
Consider that if ~ 50% of married people are adulterous, then there's a huge fraction (~ 50%) who are monogamous.

And home-schooled kids learning Latin would know the plural of curriculum is curricula ;)

Because there are some things even they won't jerk of to?
Actually, I think the SQL 2012 standard only supports the short form, "SADDAMIZE TABLE".

I would have paid good money for you to not even have started that one.
How can I get the images out of my head?
Or if you tried cooking it and then dousing is in soy sauce, I would imagine...

You're new here^h^h^h^h to statistics, aren't you?
I wonder for whom I should root when a lawyer ends up suing the RIAA on behalf of a slandered printer...
Good point! Elektra was helping Barker experience the joy of giving! They rock!
I guess her lawyer's barker was worse than her biter?

That would make sense, except even Microsoft employees don't like being photographed.
I'm not sure what's causing your lack of spam. What's your email address?

You overstated the numbers, but for what it's worth, I don't think your post deserved to be marked as -1 Troll. I think your points is valid.
Wow, she really cared about defending her virtue!
