It would take impossibly high ethical standards for referees to avoid taking advantage of their privileged anonymity to advance their own interests, but as time goes on, more and more referees have their ethical standards eroded as a consequence of having themselves been victimized by unfair reviews when they were authors.
Can you outsource doctors, lawyers, teachers, cops, firemen, etc. even in the absence of "artificial barriers"? Medical tourism is possible, and some legal research could be done from overseas, but it would be difficult for Bangalore firemen to respond to a blaze in Peoria. Some things just can't be outsourced.
That'd be because somebody decided that a lack of proper Unicode support was necessary to cut back on trolling, despite the already working moderation system.
I do not know how well Slashdot handles UTF-8. I just did the same thing you did, using ü for ü, but I sent it HTML formatted. Hmm. . . That seems to work in Plain Old Text
Sorry if I'm hostile, but I see a lot of this on Slashdot.
Judea, at the time, was part of the Roman Empire, and governed by a Roman governor you may have heard of, Herodes.
Then you should have said that the slaves werein the Roman Empire.Also, were the early followers of Christianity mainly slaves?
The most well known example of Judaism that's been "cancelled" (whatever you'd call this), is the stoning of women. This Jewish rule was cancelled by Jesus Christ, and is not practiced in Christianity, but in sharia law, the hadith that muslims use as a reason for stoning women clearly indicates the origin of the rule : the Torah.
Because burning people at the stake is so much more humane than stoning them.
As the OP has not yet produced his lion-hunting robot, I would not say that it is evident. And even if he could, that does not mean that such robots could have evolved, which means that consciousness might be necessary after all.
Even now, configure on any moderately sophisticated program or framework (take OpenOffice) can require dozens of minutes to run, and potentially several hours to compile, because of all the version/architecture/configuration/etc interdependencies that need to be resolved, and we have access today to the sourcecodes for every relevant version of the subsystems. Are you confident that you could compile the relevant parts of OpenOffice 1.1.3 to recover some of the swriter table layout details that versions 2 and above handle differently now?
No, but I'm confident that I could find an entire distro from that era. Anyway, I prefer LaTeX.
Except that what the Burakumin do is productive and necessary, whereas rapists simply hurt their victims. Or would like to have corpses pile up in the streets?
And Anonymous Coward was questioning OeLeWaPpErKe's claim that Christianity was anti-slavery. I would point out that Christianity began in Judea, not Rome.
* Secondly, the rest of the English language speakers that Wikipedia lists, total over 321 million, and that of course doesn't include those people who have it as a second language outside of those countries that are listed, although it is including those who have English as a Second and Third language.
The 321 million is the total of native speakers,of which 215 million are in the US. Counting second and third language speakers =, the US has 251 million out of 1.186 billion.
I consider the British spellings and the Oxford English Dictionary to be the final arbiters of all issues concerning spelling for me personally.
I consider Yorktown to be the final arbiter of spelling. Perhaps the OED should have given Cornwallis more support.
My claim is I can in principle write a computer program for a robot that would be as effective as any lion in both catching prey and avoiding becoming prey itself, without in any way being conscious. It might be a very complex program, and take many years to write - but we're talking on the scale of evolution here, so that's not a good objection to the project.
But could you write such a program on wetware, where the speed is much less? I dob't believe that there were silicon-based life forms a million years ago.
Sorry. I presume that you will install the DVD onto a computer. But you can reformat/erase the hard drive during installation, so as long as the DVD had no malware, you should be OK.

And how would the Vice Provost know this?
What evidence do you have that 75% of all US jobs can be outsourced?
Is importing H1-B's the same as outsourcing, even if it is equivalent for American workers?

Does Kzoo have a better 12-step program? :-)

It doesn't seem to be working!

How did you set your output? I had no idea that "Zürich" contained an ampersand and an octothorpe.
It does the same thing in Konqueror 3.5
Does using LaTeX in Windows require GDI to drive the printer?
So Pakistan is an Arab state?

I merely pointed out that the OP's figure of 321 million was in the native speaker column. I also included some data for non-native speakers.

But English has easier verb conjugations than other European languages.

Except, of course, his efforts regarding Craigslist are intended to clean up those same streets. Or more precisely, the bedrooms off those streets.
And what percentage of South Carolina's prostitution is facilitated by Craigslist?

Should we term the processing of such signals by the visual cortex is interpretation?
no underwear and manboobs.
I suspect the "no underwear" modifier will depend on the sex of the person not wearing the underwear.

But what of OSes without devices, such as a typical Linux DVD?
