Per kwh, a coal-fired powerplant pollutes less than your average Camry. I'm not sure how significant the average transmission loss is, but powerplants obviously have enormous efficiency advantages over a standard internal combustion engine.
The trial was more or less a mockery and an excuse for Clarence Darrow and co. to battle it out against William Jennings Bryan and co. I believe that at the end, Darrow declined to make a closing argument simply to prevent Bryan from making one and invited the jury to convict his client, who was a part-time substitute teacher who volunteered to be tried in order to bring a big trial to his hometown.
Can't judge hotness wearing a fugly salmon colored jacket. Where's the fake tits?
Which begs a philosophical question.... if a robot were to have breast implants...
Agreed, it is historically and culturally significant to document disparate worldviews, which is why we should treat Christianity the same way we treat Greek and Roman mythology.
I wouldn't think to deny everything that is not proven. Science is not in the business of proving things. Science is in the business of declaring one explanation to be more or less likely than another.
In support of evolution, there is a great deal of scientific evidence. In support of intelligent design, there is none.
This line: "...the sense that unauthorized downloading is 'not fair on the artists,' suggesting that the industry's messages, led by the British Phonographic Industry, are being communicated effectively."
Implies to me that the study was conducted primarily in the UK.
Being that the UK's ~35 million internet users make up a statistically small percentage of the world's ~888 million internet users, I doubt this is a realistic slice of data.
Sharing of illegal material keeps P2P networks going. Obviously MS can't have illegal material on anything with their name on it. How does MS propose to turn this into a profit-generating venture?
Actually, Newton's "I have stood on the shoulders of giants" comment was a notorious slam. It was written in a letter to one Robert Hooke, who accused Newton of stealing his ideas and was, perhaps most notably with reference to this comment, extremely short of stature.
- To be honest, I started skipping ahead in your post.
- I can't concentrate on anything longer than a sentence.
- The bullets worked really well though. I'm good with bullets.

Actually, it popped them up on Trillian Pro, too.
I think the title "A Modest Video Game Proposal" is enough of a hint. See Jonathan Swift. kthx.

Not exactly a victory for anyone.

I detect a libertarian scent. Is it just me, or is it becoming more popular?

Are we sure this is the right address, and, if so, can we mod this up so people don't flood the wrong mailbox?

"I just know that there is a Big Mind behind it all"
Ahh, the incontrovertible "I just know" argument.

Except for those of us with all-but-undynoable AWD turbo'd cars, yes. Finding and paying for dyno time with an All Wheel Drive car is a nightmare.
