I normally don't feed AC's, but I will say this. You can not call yourself a "Christian" and say "There *may* be a god." The very basic tenant of Christianity is that Jesus IS God. That is why it is called Christianity, that is, followers of the Christ, as in Jesus the Christ or as he's commonly called, Jesus Christ.
Oh yeah, I'm a MS fan boy. That's why the office I'm in pretty much uses Linux exclusively in the back office, why a number of our public terminals are Linux setups and why Linux is the default OS on my laptop.
While I'm no fan of microsoft I've almost always found that you can retain security on a machine and modify the system enough to allow the programs to run under a restricted environment.
It's not bizarre, it's just further proof of intelligent design over random chance in creation. Consider this:
If water didn't have the property of ice expanding as it cools then life in the rivers and streams would be decimated in the winter where it gets cold enough to form ice.
Such care and consideration for such a vital part of our lives. Water that is. Oh, sorry, I forgot, that's just the luck of random chance. Silly me.
Ok, you asked for it. You are dumb. And I'm an insensative clod.)
Now that that is out of the way thing about this. If you are sending a vehicle that needs to remain air tight into a very hot environment this property would be ideal. The vehicle seals would become more functional rather then breaking down. The trick would be maintaining enough functional space inside the vehicle as well as maintaining the relative shape through the constriction.
You don't think this is useful? What if that dolphin dies early because it's not able to get to it's food? The article mentions that without the fin it could still swim but very slowly.
I think it's an incredible gesture that they cared enough about the dolphins well being to have this fin made.
I'm not a scientist but I would imagine that certain minerals would naturally replace certain types of organic matter. If that holds true then I imagine that the forms and layout of the minerals would be a fair representation of the original organic layout.
On the other hand it could just involve a lot of guessing and bullshit.
Keep in mind that what you consider to be "good for the republic" is in many ways a reflection of your political views and may or may not accurately reflect reality.
A flip-flopper is someone who can't make up their mind where they stand on an issue. This week it's good one way, the next week it's good another way. Not the sort of behaviour you want from a President when the country is a war, no matter if you think the war is legal/justified or not.

Bollocks, anyone who sends an e-mail to a yahoo, hotmail, etc account and thinks that it is "private" is off their rocker.
What are you going to do, hurt his feelings? He's dead. On the other hand it might give his family something to hold onto.
Glad to help.
Thank you for setting me straight, I did read the post incorrectly and responded a little harshly. My appologies to the AC too.
(grin) If you don't like my sig you always have the option of viewing slashdot WITHOUT the sigs visible.

Blasphemy! There was no web before the internet!

Quit crying about rejected stories; you think this is a democracy? Cowboy receiveth and Cowboy taketh away.
On the other hand it could just involve a lot of guessing and bullshit.
Thank you and I'm just as confused as you, why was that moderated funny?
What is a "straight-democratic party vote"?
Was this supposed to be funny? Cause it was just stupid and rude.
Sometimes in the international community, for the sake of appearences, you can not afford to admit making a mistake.

Someone please mod the parent up and funny. That is freaking hilarious, especially with that last line.

Nope, just Redundant.
