This, like Can Spam and others, will have no effect until it starts putting people in prison for some Mitnick-style hard time. It will be especially effective if it puts people who wear suits to work into prison. Until that happens, it is to laugh.
I maximize my desktop space by putting the computer case on the floor. I like my cases to resemble the layout of a '56 Ford pickup engine compartment... room to climb in and walk around. If I want to change out a drive, it shouldn't be necessary to route my screwdriver through an alternate unverse to reach the screws. I don't want to disconnect the IDE ribbons to see the memory chips. I don't want to worry about the audio cables getting sucked into the CPU fan. For those times when a small form factor is important, such as hotel room microdesks or college dorms, there are notebook computers. They work great.
>Use the same inaccurate software global warming hoaxers use to make their claims! Ignore the fact that the software isn't even able to predict cloud cover!
The only hoax being perpetrated is by those few delusional Limbots and fringe right-wingers who have yet to look at the actual data. The Arctic ice cap is thinning, the Antarctic ice cap is breaking up and melting where it is over water, sea temperatures are rising, and if you want to see glaciers in the US's Glacier National Park, you'd better go soon.
Whether the observed golbal warming is a function of human activity, strictly natural processes, or a mixture of both is still an open question. That it is occurring is an observed fact. Claims to the contrary have all of the intellectual rigor of Holocaust Denial, Creationism, and Geocentrism. Sheesh!
Sadly, he commited suicide. He had been haunted by his mother's suicide and had attempted suicide several times since he was severely injured in a car accident in Ireland. Very sad.
I noticed the illustration for the Rubic;s Cube was of the 4^3 version, not the standard 3^3 one. The standard cube I could solve, but the bigger one was pure evil, along with Alexander's Star and a few other vaiants.
Complain about movies made from their books often have just cause. However one very rarely hears about them returning the money they received when they sold the rights.
>In my opinion, reviews should be really short. If I get bored reading the review, it is unlikly I will read the book.
If you can't handle a well-written 3,000 word critical essay, that's your problem. It is not a reflection on either the essayist or the novel. You should recall, also, that logically it quite possible to have a boring review of a really great novel and a really great review of a really boring novel. There is no causal relationship between the two.
If reviews longer than "This Sucks!" bore you, stick to teevee.
The more education you have, the more likely you are to actually think about what the federal government is doing. That makes you a problem by definition. Clearly, the government needs to keep track of people like that. They need a list of people to round up as soon as habeus corpus gets suspended during the next national security emergency.
I think I started out to be sarcastic with this. The more I look at it, the less sure of that I am.
Of course there are unspeakable horrors. This is Lovecraft. The real question is always are they tentacled or untentacled horrors. As I recall, in AtMoM we are dealing with untentacled horrors.
>I guess I'm a creationist now, I'm glad someone had the decency to tell me.
Are you claiming that you originated the toughts you posted? I have never encountered anyone voicing the blather you posted who did not have an a priori belief in creationism. There is not one "criticism you posted that has an ounce of support for it.
>Maybe you are afraid to admit that evolutionary science is full of holes,
Hardly! Please list some of these alleged holes. I would absolutely love to find one. I figure that it would be worth a Nobel Prize and life tenure at Harvard or Stanford. Seriously. My only frustration is with religious zealots trying to shoehorn their fundamentalist dogma into science classrooms.
I notice that you do not deny being a creationsist. If you are going to try to pretend that your bushwah actually passes for scientific thought, you should read some actual science. That way you won't sound like a luddite. I seriously doubt that you have heard "many" people who are not creationists criticize scientific researchers for leaps of faith. That statement is another staple of the creationist propaganda mill, as is the posture of wounded innocence that you affect. Save it for someone who hasn't seen it hundreds of times. As for religion, I have no quarrel with it until it enters the science classroom. On a personal level, I regard Biblical Litteralism and its offspring, creationism as heresy.
>How can these researchers say for certain that these remains are of anything other than humans?
I assume that by "human" you mean the species Homo sapiens. The shape of the skull, dentition, the shape of the tibia, all point to it not being H. sapiens. In fact, there is some debate over whether it belongs in the genus Homo at all.
>It is more probable that these remains represent a small group of homo sapiens that had genetic development problems, or some other kind of ailment.
No, it is not. This would require an even greater speciation event than the idea that they are descended from H. erectus through isolation and time. To state that it is more probable that they are simply mutant H. sapiens shows both your ignorance of biology and your creationist indoctrination.
>Pygmies exist in Africa today, but are not considered a new species.
That's because they aren't a new species. Height is not the issue here. Try to learn just a little bit of comparative hominid anatomy before making yourself look a fool.
>This report is more about research scientists getting more grant money than actually using the scientific method.
This is just standard creationist bullshit. You are impugning the reputation of scientific professionals you have never met on the basis of absolutely ZERO evidence. The implication of your statement is that they have knowingly falsified data to obtain money. Please immediately post a link to any kind to support for your slander or retract it. You are simply repeating the creationist lies you have been taught. Read some actual science texts about hominid evolution, comparative anatomy, and paleoanthropology.
I thought about modding this idiot with another Troll point, but what's the point of having karma if you can't burn some of it flaming an obvious moron.
The IRS lacks staff and adequate software and hardware. The BIA has totally hosed the accounting of the trust fund money. The Justice Department says that complying with a large FOIA data request would crash their servers. The current, tiny No Fly list contained the name of a prominent Senator. I should worry about this, why?

Hmmm... I can think of some interesting things to do on a stroll through suitville at lunchtime (wearing gloves).- Verified that the claimed physical attributes bear any relationship to reality,
- Verified the claimed income bracket,
- Verified the claimed IQ
- Verified the claimed negative STD status
- Verified the claimed unmarried state of the individual
- Verified the the included photograph is the individual in question or even of the same race, gender, or species.

Is that there are people, like me, who actually like Solaris. I haven't really seen anyone say nice things about SCOunix on its merits technically.
The quickest way to find a cat in my house is to sit down at the computer. Within 30 seconds there will be a cat on the keyboard.

I want to be able to slot a chip into my handy behind-the-ear slot that will give me instant fluent Japanese or French or calculus.
