Sorry, that came out as more of a joke than it was meant to - I was angling more at the fact that people of greater intelligence are more likely to lead active lives - this in turn will lead to exposure to a greater variety of environments/selection criteria, resulting in a) possible carcinogenic/alien material exposure (you go exploring, sit in a desert, eat any old shit) b) decreased gene pool due to persecution (as detailed in this paper) - results in inbreeding, and mutation.
Basically clever people get themselves into more trouble generally.
If the paper had said that this subset of the jewish religion was dumber than others due to genetics would people still have the same reaction or would they have dismissed it as anti-semitic?
Of course. You can't say anything nasty about anyone in a research paper, and if your findings are 'people without legs can't walk' you'll still be knocked down as being un-PC.
You do have to wonder how much research is never published for fear of a lawsuit....
Bing, bada bing bing bing bing bing! Da dah da da dee dah dum... Best tune ever! Man I love that frog! He's so whacky! He thinks he's on a bike!!!! LOLOLOLOL I know I'll go and pay £8 for a 30 second clip! How can I lose?! What's that you say? Extended warranty?! Jackpot!
Ever since they started putting mercury in our drinking water something has been distincly amiss in Britain.
Ok, sorry, poor phrasing - he fought for the Nazis, as a member of the Wehrmacht - not a member of the political party, which I suppose defines someone as being a Nazi. He wrote his memoirs last year, so I should probably read them - they're entirely in german however. In fact, all the more reason to read them:)
OTOH, my great-uncle might have not been the sole survivor of his regiment of several thousand men - yes, he was a Nazi, but he was a field medic, got hepatitus, and got evacced... Lucky!
Yeah, no WMV or realmedia support - I always use mencoder to change them to xvid - AC3 sound works fine for me, though - I have the optical out on the kiss going into my amp, and surround works beautifully.
Also, there are user firmwares which allow you to make the DVD multiregional. Which is nice.
And it hooks up to freedb.org for cd text, it does VCDs, mp3 cds, web radio, the weather, and there is a module somewhere which turns it into a network monitor as well, with mrtg and snmp support (it runs ucLinux).
There are a few models which support digital TV of all flavours and also have hard-drives for PVR - I think there's a model as well with two tuners, so you can watch and record.
The Kiss Technologies players are great - I've been using a DP-1500s for the last year, one wired, one wireless, using the KMA server which runs on linux.

Now, you don't know that for a fact. He might have lost them in a terrible kitten related accident. Apologize to the nice man. Now.

Realised - that was the intended meaning. Even after navigating away from sites no garbage collectino seems to be done.
I'm fairly certain there's a leak somewhere in teh FF javascript handler - I've noticed memory usage rocketing on some pages which use JS.

Read 'The Man in the High Castle' by Philip K Dick, it explores an alternate reality in which the combined Germano-Japanese forces won the war.
Excellent book

Back to bed, preferably with an attractive woman.
Take in context of the article, that's probably what DeLay means. I wonder how much he's willing to pay...

To the oval office!
To get us to where we want to go

Very nice range of kit.
