Just so you know, city boy, cattle stand in their feces and piss in their drinking pond on the ranch too. Growth hormones and antibiotics are not unknown to ranchers either.
Corn is cereal, cattle eat cereal. Note to city boys, grass is cereal, corn is grass. Look it up. Vegetarians can turn back into meat eaters by picking up a burger. It's no chore.
You sound programmed by the evil vegan underground.
Baloney. Provide a cite. If you were concerned, you'd be lobbying for labels indicating if the animal was artifically inseminated, transported in the uterus of a rabbit or any number of other 'unnatural' things that are done to expidite bovine rearing.
You didn't mention what your degree was in. But, if it's in IT, I don't think you should be writing this paper at all. You don't have the experience to proceed. The mere fact you're asking a group like/. is proof that you don't know how to gather the data.
I was in IT for 35+ years. Married some, single custodial dad for some. IT didn't exert any undue influences, the people in the marriage did.
Go over to a mirror and stand there looking into it until you find the source of the divorce. Oh yeah, have your soon-to-be ex stand alongside you. The children should be playing in the yard, away from the causes of the problem.
If he killed his wife and disposed of her body with forethough it was not a crime of passion. That phrase doesn't mean you kill someone you love, it means you kill in a fit of rage.
First, a big mistake is conflating patents and copyrights. Not the same at all. So all of your skreed about not being for the individual is nonsense. I hold copyrights, many of them. Each time I write something, I get one. Doesn't cost a dime.
Second mistake is made over and over by/.ers. Note: software is not the only damn thing copyright applies to. Horrah for you that you donate software and got a 9-5 writing it. Someone writing a novel does not have that luxury.
"Since India is unique in that there is representation of almost every major religion in the world..."
You didn't clearly specify that representation meant "governmental officials of that religion", hence the confusion.
As far as representation in the population, U.S. wins that one. As far as gov reps: Jewish, Catholic, Baptist, Unitarian, Scientologist, Quaker, Unspecified...
Sounds like he was describing the Carboniferous, when there weren't any large animals to consume the large plants. The insects, arachnids, etc. of the time were much larger. That doesn't hold for later times (Jurassic). By the way, the Blue Whale (alive today) is the largest animal to ever have lived.
Right, stealing was made illegal by the government. Thou shall not... Laws are codifications of things people want. Prohibition was driven by people and codified. Later, people decided it was a bad idea and 'decodified' it. Do the same for copyright, drinking, or whatever else you don't like. If you're in the minority opinion and the law truly doesn't abridge your civil rights. Oh well, be a criminal. Just don't whine when caught.
Hence his statement about your paranoia. Your last to paragraphs here only cement the idea that you are paranoid and out of touch with reality. Stan Lee is a government shill?
There are no fictional books that are 'required' reading, despite the plaints of those who have read them and think others that choose not to "wouldn't grasp them anyway". Pompous, and probably wrong.
I write, but I do not expect that to float me unto death. I work as a backup to what I enjoy.
He appears to have sold books. That puts him way the hell ahead of most writers.
"When you're cranking out four essays a week in addition to attending classes and teaching you get pretty good at writing thoughtful pieces in a limited amount of time."
No, you get pretty good at writing pieces acceptable to the prof, nothing more. Thoughtful pieces take -- thought.
Probably because EM is a good medium, the signal they receive (we don't care about pre-electrical civilizations) would be distinct from the background noise, there is a pattern to the signal, etc.
Curiosity (we don't care about non-curious civs -- actually, an oxymoron) will ensure they want to figure out what this strange, point emanation is.
You presume unreachability.
We (the current generation) don't expect, nor care about a response.
What evidence? For that matter, what hypothesis? It is basically abstract parlor conjecture, much along the lines of "Oh, one can travel back in time by spinning an infinite mass counter clockwise at an infinite speed and rotating clockwise around it." If all three requirements for a "hypothesis" are impossible to accomplish, it ain't science.

Horse friggin' shit. Farmers can always breed their own damn cattle. No wonder you posted AC.

A very sorry comment on the subject of research papers, I'd say.

Don't get all high and mighty.

"What if it was muslim extremists discussing how great 9/11 was and how they really wanted to do it again..."
Then in the UK, they would be protected as expression religious beliefs. That's what's happening now.

Assuming you weren't joking, that statement is enough that I shan't read it. No worth my time.

First: You're not sorry to make this political.
Second: These tests were around before NCLB. I took versions of them thirty years ago. NCLB is a load of crap for other reasons.
Nice OT injection, though.

First, we hang all economists.
Because you were not there to offer to carry it out on your back?
I agree. Much better to leave it where it is to be eroded to little pieces that are too small to be of any use at all. Much better. {/sarcasm}
When the ignorant fanatics fight the ignorant fanatics everybody loses.
Nope. The nonigorant get a neat show.

"Maybe it's just me, but if we want to keep religion out of science, we need to start with ourselves."
This is the first comment I've seen on this article that invokes religion.
Because the public economic capital funds their intellectual capital. Unless, of course, they are supporting themselves without grants from the gov.
"As long as it's conceptually possible"
Being nitpicky, no. One can conceptually require an infinite mass spinning at an infinite speed.
What evidence? For that matter, what hypothesis? It is basically abstract parlor conjecture, much along the lines of "Oh, one can travel back in time by spinning an infinite mass counter clockwise at an infinite speed and rotating clockwise around it." If all three requirements for a "hypothesis" are impossible to accomplish, it ain't science.
