Plenty of muslims condemn things like suicide bombing, including those in positions of power. If you read the right papers you'll read all about it... not surprisingly it doesn't play well in the American media, so they just don't play it.
And the gypsies, and the mentally ill, and I'm sure I'm missing one or two. I think what's important to teach is the whole story, and the facts behind it. The holocaust was awful, and is was awful for a lot of different groups including but not limited to the jews.
Interesting twist, but not accurate. That would hold if the question involved finding out what happened to industrialized terran planets... we're just asking about earth.
To use your example, the global warming science is more like concluding "Smoking did not cause G. Burns to die before 100." or "Smoking did not artificially shorten the length of G. Burns' life, look at these lung scans." (I have no idea what his lung scans looked like, or if he would've lived to 120 had he not smoked, it's what we call an illustrative point.)

And it's morphed into a new meaning, update the jargon file. It now means baseless fear uncertainty and doubt, simple as that.
You imply that the phenotype is required to pass on the genotype, and that's not accurate. Think of it this way
It's genetic for a species to have 10% sterile offspring.
It's genetic for the species to pass on this percentage to the remaining 90% of the species
Now... what are the percentage changes in sterile offspring in resulting generations? what the changes in absolute numbers of sterile offspring in resulting generations?
IF homosexuality is a genetic trait, AND IF homosexuality becomes socially accepted to the point where someone entirely homosexual does not produce offspring, THEN incidence of the genetic trait of homosexuality will plummet in just a few generations.
AMD is definitely close behind on fabrication, no doubt. I disagree that they held the lead for 6 1/2 years... more like 2 in the desktop market, 0 in the laptop market, and maybe 3 or 4 in the server market... maybe.
And I wholely agree that the architecture is more important, but it's something that is easier and cheaper to catchup on too. It amazes me that intel continued down the failed architecture of the P4 for so long... more watts, more clock, more watts, more clock... but they did, so I guess you may be right.
I dunno... I have one of the Lenovo multi-touch screens... and I find myself using the pen about 90% of the time for the accuracy. I thought I'd use my finger all the time, and for apps that are designed for a touch screen (read big buttons, no menus) I do... but the pen really isn't so bad. But the multi-touch (pen + finger) is definitely a path I'm glad to have, would be annoyed at this point if you took either or away from me.
What I'd like is a way to do this in power manager.. I really like Aero and the other glitz... but I'd like it turn off at x% remaining battery if it's going to cost me battery time. Personally I'm running it on a brand new laptop so I have no comparison, and I'm far too lazy to make all the adjustments and see if it changes.
Is the head thing is a result of the constant exposure to the radiation, or something more nefarious like you hooked it up to a mind control device?
Any idea what the efficiency of something like this is compared to say, a wire?
How about "standby mode" as has become so popular in all sorts of appliances these days, can the tablecloth sense that no one is drawing its current and dial it back a notch until someone is?
The only reason eh? I'd wager another big reason is because of people who make posts like "what happens if I put my elbows on the table" or "what if I spill water on it?" i.e. The public's fear of electricity.
Listen, just cause you have a use for it doesn't mean anything. Those two posts clearly show how they can wire things up neatly in their exact configuration so the manufacturer should clearly shelve this item.

Google's Evil NDA

Firstly, Non-compete's are likely not valid if you're enough of a superstar to warrant the court case... but they're valid enough to keep most employers from hiring you if your previous employer calls up and threatens the case.
NDA's are definitely not starting to become that way. What's happening with NDA's is that they're making every Joe off the street sign them in order to look at the most un-interesting business processes and secrets, so Joe is just talking about it anyway. But for what you're talking about we'd have to see some court cases where the business then tried to enforce these NDA's and the court not only ruled in favor of Joe, but also said the invalidation of the NDA was not just because of scope of the NDA but because of the entire concept of the NDA, which won't happen in this corporate friendly country.
Lastly, you really blow this choice issue out of proportion... The original argument does not assume equal opportunity everywhere, it assumes there are opportunities outside of google, which I must say is a pretty fair assumption.
They being developer evangelists, blogs, other developers, and the general documentation communicate it just fine. Marketing and webcomics do it poorly.
So yeah, they're not going to hook you if you have no interest... but if you're going to be interested enough to comment on it on slashdot, I figured maybe you'd get more input.
I hear this joke on Slashdot all the time, but I don't get it, what is it that you guys fail to understand about.NET? It's not really hard to understand what it is or what it does if you spend 20 minutes trying to figure it out. I will definitely agree when they launched it they didn't seem to communicate the product to the marketing team well, and perhaps the argument could be made that they still haven't... but how does that change the reality of what the product is?
The situation was never reversed. The original poster said the performance and the fab. While AMD had the performance crown (And yes, I bought some AMD chips at that point too), Intel has always held the fabrication crown... and that will always make it hard for AMD to take and hold a lead for more than a few months.
While I agree that the concept of an Apple AMD merger is kinda silly, I think you fail to properly understand the differences between Intel x86 and AMD x86 chips.
Linux has one failure for this market in my (granted limited) experience with it... it works in a strange bubble where people update large swaths of it frequently. Updating a package may well replace your version of apache, or your X Server.
Is Dell going to 1) rely on Ubuntu's package management and hope everything keeps just working like it did out of the box 2) maintain its own repositories, guarantee everything keeps working, but then if you upgrade things like your video card you have to link in to new repositories, and god help you (pretty unlikely since 8 computer models down the line this could be a serious pita) 3) try and keep the users from updating 4) something else entirely?
I don't know, I'm more familar with the pure debian world (living in unstable/testing) so these are real issues... if they stick with a stable release of ubuntu this is probably a much smaller concern, but then how happy would most linux users being running 2 year old versions of all their packages?
Yes, and that's my point. There's going to be a way, and that way will be exploitable, so the original poster's comment that thieves would have a problem selling stolen ipods with this kind of security is only true for the casual thief.
The print needs to be resettable in some way though, otherwise they've taken away your ability to resell your own ipod on ebay, which bites into their ability to sell you a new one.
It doesn't, but it's a pointless example in the case of iPods, thieves aren't trying to steal the contents of the drives, they're trying to steal the device itself.

Intel always has the fab lead which makes it hard for AMD to hold the performance lead.
AMD never has had the fabrication lead, which makes it difficult to hold the performance lead when it does take it.
