I suppose there is no conflict between science and religion in the same sense that there is no conflict between science and Batman, i.e. one, science, is a way of explaining how the world actually works and the other is a work (or body of work) of fantasy fiction.
But, in the sense that most religious people understand their religion to actually describe the real world, then there is most assuredly a conflict and it is a conflict that science wins because scientific theories are testable and provable, or disprovable. Religious dogma is not.
Yes, prosecutors would have to prove the requisite mental state which is probably one requiring intent, but we would have to look at the specific code section to see.
...just not at the same time. You could take your list and make several iterations of it with heach having a different set of features listed toward the top. Present a different set to each respondent. That way, while you are doing yoru survey, you could eliminate any possible bias created by the listing order.
Actually, this reminds me of a system I have seen construction workers use. But they went the Japanese one better by transferring the senses of one person to another person. For instance, the construction workers, without mechanical aids, were able to transfer the visual sense of one worker to the auditory sense of another worker who was effectively blinded.
One day, I saw this truck driver trying to back a truck through a very narrow garage door. This other worker would stand there and yell things like "left," "right," "'mon back" and the truck driver was actually able to translate these aural signals as though they were vision and back the truck through the doorway without hitting it. It was almost like science fiction, except it was real!
In case you're watching only replies, MikeRT hinted that Luke 17:20-21 is not considered "gnostic".
Luke isn't considered gnostic in the sense of heretical, since it is a canonical gospel, but it is certainly more gnostic in the lose sense than is Mark, for instance, but less gnostic than John.
At any rate, the quote at issue wasn't from Luke, it was from the Gospel of Thomas and the quotes aren't the same.
How did that gospel go?
The Kingdom of God is inside you and all about you, not in mansions of wood and stone. Split a piece of wood and I am there; lift a stone and you will find me.
Um, you reallize that was from a Gnostic gospel, right? And that that Church of England, just like the Catholic Church, don't cotton to no damn Gnostics? In fact, during the Albigensian Crusade, the Catholic Church said to "kill them all [believers and heretics]. God will know his own."
Wow, that should cost IBM, what, about $35 a week, right? I'm so glad they are behind open source. I can't wait to see the new "pwintew pwevewences" dialog.

1) My iPhone in standby mode does not DL my email until I hit the email button at which point it connects and begins the transfer of the email. This is a setting in the email settngs preferences. By default it is set to manual. This is where I left mine.
2) My iPhone, when it is actually turned off, as opposed to in standby mode (i.e. hold the top button down for 3 seconds rather than just pressing it) it doesn't even receive calls, much less email or anything else.
3) Does anyone on slashdot even own an iPhone? Most of the comments are completely clueless as to the actual operation of the device.
This should make it much easier for NASA to lose priceless historical data than having to lose hundreds of physical tapes. Losing all data will be just a reformat away now. They just have to remember to not back up which shouldn't be too hard.
I'm not sure that any court would find crackpot to be actionable libel. You might surprise me with a case, if you dig hard enough, but the word crackpot is pretty clearly a word used to express one individual's opinion about another and is not intended to be a statement of fact. I don't think the reviewer really thought the author was a cracked cooking vessel of some sort.
Generally speaking, libel means that someone has made a false statement of fact about another person. If the reviewer had said that he couldn't take seriously the writings of a convicted child rapist and the author was in fact not a child rapist, then there might be a libel issue.
Also, I would suspect there is at least a qualified privilege for a reviewer to give an opinion of the writings of a work the author himself has submitted for review. There is a certain assumption of the risk that the reviewer will not like the author's work.
Finally, it is not true that frivilous lawsuits cannot result in sanctions in the U.S. The Federal Courts and most state courts have some version of Civil Rule 11 which allows the Court to sanction parties and their attorneys for filing frivilous lawsuits.
We are apparently supposed to conclude that 20% of the people in business do not have telephone service?
I am guessing telephone service in business is 100% as well. Now, we could make a similarly arbitrary distinction between email gotten via pop3 through a desktop client and IMAP email gotten through a desktop client and pop3 through a web client adn IMAP through a web client and I bet all four of those would fall below land lines in adoption.
Damn, you beat me to the post. I thought the exact same thing when I read the blurb.
Here is another clue for the cops: you can find more drunk drivers leaving the bar parking lots early Saturday and Sunday morning than you can at the donut shop on Wednesday afternoons.
Ooooo, maybe I can get a government grant or something.
When you send huge portions of your peak reproductive populaiton through the meat grinder in the span of about two generations, you can probably expect a decrease in genetic diversity. The good news about the next World War is that it will be nuclear and with all the radiation will come mutations which should help out with the genetic diversity issue.
Apparently it does. This is exactly what I was thinking. I bet Congress and the Fed would even support us on this. Piracy and theft and anti-inflationary economic pressures makes sense.
Assuming Regal Cinemas is not the copyright holder (as reasonable assumption) then why is Regal Cinemas the "victim" and why do the cops have no discretion not to prosecute? There is something wrong with this story. Maybe the reporter is just ignorant (another reasonable assumption), but the witness to a crime doesn't have the authority to prosecute or order the prosecution of the crime; the witness only reports it.
The "paperwork" would have consisted of a letter from your bankruptcy attorney to the bank giving your bankruptcy case number (I usually include a courtesy copy of the first page of the filed petition) and citing 11 U.S.C. 362. Faxing the letter usually results in the account being released within an hour or two, at least in my experience and IAAL. I don't even charge extra for this but YMMV.
The political philosophy of anarchy could be called libertarian socialism as opposed to communism which could be called authoritarian socialism.
Libertarianism, as extolled by the American Libertarian party, purports to believe in political freedom whilst maintaining private property but with no regulation of any kind on the private property and whilst having no commons.
Anarchy doesn't mean everything is "legal" and that there are no rules. Anarchy posits a system in which people have political and economic liberty, but there would still be rules though those rules would be agreed upon by everyone and there would be the ability for an individual to opt-out. Murder would not be "legal" or tolerated under anarchy, but as a practical matter, the only type of murder likely to come about would be crimes of passion since the economic incentive to murder would be non-existent.

"No, no... let me guess how you'd feel if your brother was the pilot."
True anarchists would be embarrassed to hell that their brother was a dick-headed, flying pig.

Given that the article appears to be already slashdotted, it appears this website is really the biggest, baddest off switch around.

LOL, that is great. I loved it!
Didn't they roll this out a couple of weeks ago and shut everyone down who was trying to use MGA?
Which is...?
