R* = the average rate of star formation per year in our galaxy
fp = the fraction of those stars that have planets
ne = the average number of planets that can potentially support life per star that has planets
fl = the fraction of the above that actually go on to develop life at some point
fi = the fraction of the above that actually go on to develop intelligent life
fc = the fraction of civilizations that develop a technology that releases detectable signs of their existence into space
L = the length of time for which such civilizations release detectable signals into space.[3]
So, with fl,fi,fc and L (4 of 7) being completely unknowable, the result N is something more than parlor talk? No.
I'm all for parlor talk and will ponder extraterrestrial life with anyone. My personal opinion is there is other intelligent life, it's just really friggin' far away.
Make a percentage estimate? Pfffft! It's bullshit.
"The scientific community largely agrees that humans have caused global warming, but what happens if we stop being the cause and it still gets warmer?"
The scientific community that largely agrees that humans have caused global warming will simply turn to another fear tactic for funding.
Lame. You've spouted crap and been called. Now you rely on two bolded words to try to show you really know what you were talking about when it's obvious you don't as your last sentence here shows once again.
The reason they use 'most probably' is not doubt, but lack of the observation you mentioned. What I see you failed to include is that nylon is a completely new and man-made chemical and there would have been literally no use for nylonase prior to it's development.
"Eventually..."
Not by your criteria. It would entail having the complete sequence immediately before and after the mutation. You see, DNA mutates constantly and your goal post can't be satisfied. You'd simply claim the gene was introduced from elsewhere.
I'll turn your little unspoken demand of live-action observation back on you. Can you demonstrate the existence of a god or gods? If not, you need to loosen up your demands of science as to how it writes its conclusions.
And, other than prejudice, what evidence have you? I would also point out that Nebraska and Montana (two of the three) are definitely not southern states.
"Team of dumb asses discover that the non-elite aren't actually as retarded, backward and anti-evolutionary as they had prejudged."
Kinda makes the 'scientists' look bad, though.
Acrobat Reader is easy. Replace it with a clone. They don't have the specific attack points. Works fine for me, even tested it against a known pdf infection.
Thank you for this illustrative example of exactly why Linux is making such inroads into everyday use. You, for most of the public, are the face of Linux.
I never understood nor looked on with anything other than raw hate, fucking around with another person's work or personal machine. You're deciding for your personal, shallow jollies that someone else's property and time have no value other than to amuse you. Do that to mine and there will be definite and unavoidable physical violence. I will even get fired to do it.
Just to correct your shallow interpretation, the SEALs (it's an acronym, all caps) destroy bad guys destroying much more stuff. Kinda important to have that qualifier.
Pulled down by whom? Pulled down why? Where did you get your number? Your post is too devoid of information to mean anything. Nice insinuation, however.

And, pray tell, what values do you plug in when you haven't a clue? Say, fl, fi, fc and L?
Oh. Seems like we agree.
The Drake equation:
R* = the average rate of star formation per year in our galaxy
fp = the fraction of those stars that have planets
ne = the average number of planets that can potentially support life per star that has planets
fl = the fraction of the above that actually go on to develop life at some point
fi = the fraction of the above that actually go on to develop intelligent life
fc = the fraction of civilizations that develop a technology that releases detectable signs of their existence into space

Yes the probability formula. Factors that cannot be known.
"The scientific community largely agrees that humans have caused global warming, but what happens if we stop being the cause and it still gets warmer?"

What model and what speculation?
And that idiotic fake formula so many like takes another hit.
I shall remember in the future, when my purpose is intense, to not use whom.
And over protection of worker's 'rights' is one of the defining characteristics of a failing country. See Greece.

"simply treating uppercase as equivalent to lowercase is fine for English"
Not if you want to use names.

Now that you've been corrected as to the political affiliation of the perp, your response is?.......

Cut and paste. I'm pretty sure I don't normally type that fast.
One can admit guilt in a venue other than court, say a video recording. He did some admitting there, for instance.
Then you accept the consequences without whining, right?

Please reference the code where the computer can access communications without being connected to anything other than the power outlet. Thanks.
and hold.

Exhale.
"Dude. Wouldn't it be funny if we like wrote that up as a paper or something?"
Thus stands most cosmological theory.
