Marquette isn't really a university though. It's a Catholic institution, and thus a religious cabal. One really shouldn't expect anything better from them with regard to free speech. The outfit (catholocism) is run by a beady eyed possibly latently homosexual homophobe who spent 10-plus years working hard to protect a world wide organized pedophilia ring, and yet people still feel like they need to treat it as if it were respectable. Ecrasez l'infame I say, or j'accuse, or some such apropos froggy barb.
Even if registration worked perfectly, preventing the bad guys access while permitting the good guys access, it's too easy to work around this. If you wanted to create something bogus you'd simply create the new article as a stub as a registered user and then come back later to edit it anonymously. So why bother?
I don't see how this article is supposed to show anything. It's a publicly edited encyclopedia. That means you can't trust it. That should be obvious from square one.
The value of the system is not that it provides ready access to definitive information. The value comes from providing a very rich compendium of information on a wide variety of topics in hypertext format. This makes it a great place to start, especially if you are trying to track down something that is given scant coverage in the old fashioned paper publishing trade. (E.g. the Armenian Holocaust). Once you've gotten your feet wet, then you can follow it up by checking out a monograph, etc.
But hey, that's what you should do with a paper encyclopedia too, and with textbooks, and with films, etc. Is there that much of a difference between the fake Siegenthaler biography and say the presentation of racial relations in this country in the standard high school history texts? The textbook is better than nothing, but if you want to go on to make responsible claims about the issue you obviously need to learn more.
Let's not destroy the good tool that exists just because it's not something that it never claimed to be.
Obvious nonsense, your post is rather, I say.
Only a handful of countries recognize Taiwan as an independent country. Taiwan isn't a member of the UN. It's not recognized as a soveriegn nation by the US, Googles base of operation.
It seems that folks expect Google to make a political statement that the US government itself isn't willing to make, nor most other countries on the planet. That seems a bit much to ask.
I presume that the "Province of China" moniker is included to differentiate the political entity from the island of Taiwan. The political entity includes a number of smaller islands in addition to the main island of Taiwan.
How about an earth-bound one?
All of the posts seem to ignore the GR resolution of the twin paradox. It's not just how fast you are going relative to the earth where this 100 years ocurred, but how you got to that velocity. Otherwise who's to say where the time dilation is.
Of course those who have just read about SR tomorrow will have to wait a second or so for GR to have been published.
Paris cafés with any serious clientele have implicit buy or leave policies. So it hardly seems plausible to claim that this somehow is devastating to any sense of culture or vulgar.
The real problem is that to implement such a policy requires some sort of wait-staff. Coffee shops tend to be minimally staffed, and it isn't feasible to try to enforce any sort of buy or leave policy.
If there were anything like real culture going on in cafés this wouldn't be a problem anyways. Sociability would drive the laptop zombies away. They seem to be a solitary breed, not amenable to conversation. So perhaps the solution is for others to lean over the shoulders of the squatters and pry into what it is they are doing. If it doesn't eventually drive the sqatters away, at least it could help mitigate the obnoxiousness of their hermit like presence.
Anyone sufficiently interested in wine to fork out the money for such a thing would already know what raspberry or cassis or cedar smelled like. What sould the market for such a device be?
It's especially odd to see this being touted in Burgundy, where what separates les hommes from les garçons are the hard to describe gravelly, leathery, spicy, earthy notes. Limited to simple smells, dialing up a Domaine de La Romanée Conti La Tâche would give you something pretty much indistinguishable from a run-of-the-mill Russian River Pinot Noir.
I wonder if they'd plan to add a randomizing feature that would make 1% of the wines smell corked. Also I wonder if they would include cat piss to capture the aroma of the average Sauvignon Blanc.
It is mistranslated:
darf die SCO Group GmbH nicht mehr behaupten, Kaufer von Linux-Betriebssystemen hatten eine Strafverfolgung zu befurchten, es sei denn, es handelte sich bei den gekauften Betriebssystemen um SCO Linux oder Caldera Linux. . . ....that SCO Group GmbH may no longer claim that purchasers of Linux OS's have to prosecution with the exception of OS's purchased from SCO or Caldera. (damned german clauses - unless it is a matter of those operating systems purchase from SCO......:-)
Ridge's ridge is NOT an unlikely spot to grow good wine. It's antedates Napa and Sonoma in terms of fine wine production. Long before Silicon Valley ever came to be great wines were being made up in them thar hills.
A Chardonnay redolent of cinnamon is already a little bit shuddergenetic. I guess one could warm it up and use it as a mulled wine.
As for the Pinot Noir mentioned as Lucas's private stock, Marin County Pinot Noir doesn't exactly tickle the fancy of an oenophile.
Perhaps the force (which is now too much a part of the culture to merit capitalization) makes up for lack of terroir, though.
Oddly enough the one red wine that goes consistently well with most fish is Pinot Noir which is also the principle grape in champagne, at least in most cuvee. The grape works with fish because the acids tend not to be as astringent. I suspect the same acidity without astringency helps give champagne it's crispness.
As for Riesling, I think any riesling, dry or not, goes pretty well with most fish, though it has to be a good Riesling with a nice acidic core. But something like a Loosens's MSR Spatlese goes pretty well even with swordfish or salmon.
On the other hand you can go wrong pairing white wine and fish too. Chardonnay tends to taste like stainless steel when drunk with salmon. A Loire style Sauv. blanc is generally safe, but not exactly fitting for something like Sole.
Champagne goes with most foods safely, but I can't imagine enjoying it with a good steak, roast etc. Then again it would probably be finished before the main course, so would it matter?
Actually Korbel's Natural Russian River Valley Champagne is not too bad. It's hard to find, and it retails at about twice the price of their standard plonk, but it's not bad.
