OK, to deposit that PCL and get a 4 Insightful, is truly amazing.
What's up with that? So they only have names when they're American scientists?
The submitter did a 1/2assed job, obviously, but he didn't name the student either I doubt he mean't any disrespect to Mr.R when he called him "a self taught math genius". I doubt Mr.R. would be offended by the article's hurried lack of detail. Only EHT's looking to bignote themselves to other EHT's by baselessly whining about USA, would be offended.
are you just another one of those hicks Hey! hicks have feelings too you insensitive clod!
Turn your Karma modifier option off in preferences. Otherwise you'll only get to read responses that filter thru the strange deluded mind of moderators who give PCL's like the parent post a +4 Insightful.
They might be objecting to evolution being used to explain the adaptations of the animals living around volcanic vents. I don't agree with that objection but that might be why they're objecting.

reminds me of a doctor in the small town I grew up in. His surnname is spelt DEATH. He likes it to be pronounced... Dee-Arth. LOL
Or the teacher at my school, surname spelt COCKBURN, who liked it pronounced Co-burn (with Co prounouced as it is in the word CODE) a silent CK?.... and yes, junior high was fun with a teacher called Cockburn!
All the power is on one side of that equation. That's the reasons unions exist. Only the ignorant or the innocent could honestly believe otherwise.
You don't have the "right" to keep your job In Australia you used to have the right to not be unfairly dismissed. (eg. for criticising your employer, wearing too short a skirt for your bosses wife's liking etc)
unbelievable. a racist pig who called all Americans rednecks was moderated 'insightful' and on the same day this joke gets -1 100% Troll. Interesting use of your one eye Mr Moderator...
oh, I didn't realise you would want to move the goal posts and instead of "each country" now it's only "countries with democratically elected leaders". The mod who gave you a point for that one might be a bit of a redneck himself.
Out of curiosity, what did the people in the below countries do to deserve the leaders they wound up with?
Iraq -> Saddam
Cambodia -> Pol Pot
Zimbabwe -> Mugabe
Germany -> Hitler
Italy -> Mussolini
Australia -> Howard
Chile -> Pinochet
Uganda -> Idi Amin
Yugoslavia -> Tito or Milosevic
Iran -> Khomeini
Libya -> Qadhafi
Indonesia -> Suharto
Phillipines -> Marcos
China -> Mao
I was considering adopting digital television but without appropriate copyright protections I find myself experiencing fear, uncertainty.... and a little doubt.
Either the print company is magnanimously trying to ensure that your printing experience is the best it can be... or it's just a grubby way to force cart refillers to buy new carts and users of old printers to purchase new printers when they stop making new carts.
telecoms should stop their pathetic whining when communities they had previously ignored as being unprofitable, create their own WiFi networks. There is nothing quite like the arrogance of monopolists.
The existing human viruses could take huge leaps in lethality or virulence as a result of mutations - for example higher powered flu's or airborne variants of existing body fluid transmission viruses.
The point was that providing a blended species host could allow a virus that could previously only survive in species A to now survive in species B as well. Not such an unrealistic idea.
It's probably safe to say that standard evolution, as the parent post describes, will continue.
How will that $10 be made up in the revenue stream?
It won't be. The business of gouging artists will simply become less profitable and players satisfied with reasonable profits will take over. Maybe cheap commodity hardware will make recording studios obsolete.... notlikely but maybe
Worst case scenario, pirates (yarr) starve the entire industry completely to bankruptcy. The next day, in spite of every record exec in the country being bankrupt, an artist somewhere will create a beautiful song. Don't confuse the slow death of the recording industry with the death of music.
no-one can really be sure how he knows....
One thing you can be sure of, though, is that anything posted by Anonymous Coward will be of little to no value;)
The species in which the viral infection usually takes place has been blended with another previously incompatible species in a way that would otherwise be impossible in nature. This provides a possible grounds for the virus to evolve to cope with survivial in the body of a previously incompatible species.
That is, broadly speaking, how this situation differs from the status quo.

Why isn't the whole world multi-lingual?
The reason many people of the world are multi-lingual is that they share borders, trade and recreational ties with foreign-language speakers. America only shares borders with 2 foreign speaking nations, French-speakers in Canada and Spanish-speakers in Mexico. Amanzingly enough, many who live in areas near to these borders are.....gasp.... multilingual. The lack of a multi-lingual American majority can't be conveniently blamed on laziness or ignorance where the problem is their proximity to foreign-language speakers. Obviously an Italian street vendor doesn't particularly want to learn Italian, French, German and English, but he needs the knowledge to sell effectively to ethnically diverse customers. People are usually multi-lingual by necessity, rarely by choice.
Am I American?
Before anyone jumps up and down about me being American, I'm not. I'm Australian. We're a bit like Americans.... only smaller and we drive on the other side of the road (the proper side!):)
English only means language, not race
In the context of these forums, I suspect "English Only" means "you can only post in English". Only the most sensitive of types with the most intense of inferiority complexes would genuinely interpret it to means "only those with English as their first-language can post". Of course if a bigot wanted to whip up some anti-Western hysteria, conveniently misinterpreting "English only" to be some kind of racial slurr is an excellent place to start.

I was going to go for local WiFi, but now all this talk of WiMax makes me feel fear, uncertainty and doubt about it...
Maybe the community WiFi will hire their own marketing knobs and strike back with WiMax2DaXtreme?
telecoms should stop their pathetic whining when communities they had previously ignored as being unprofitable, create their own WiFi networks. There is nothing quite like the arrogance of monopolists.
until we've eliminated the professional pirate community.
Australian collusion might be contributing a little more than American marketing.
but the good kind like field mushrooms, not the bad kind like the one hanging off that girl's lip over there...

some of the filler grows on you though, so I wouldn't like to see albums full of chart-destined lolly-pop songs.
