Following a companion called Amelia with one called... Amelia. That probably wouldn't work long term but having two Amelias running around for an episode or two could be amusing.
Of course, with all the doppelgangers and whatnot it could just get confusing.
But IBM uses Lotus Domino and they frown (big time) upon the use of unauthorized software. I would not want to be caught using Gmail by my boss if I were still working for IBM.
Heh. My workplace uses Lotus Domino, and it's the main reason I use gmail at work.
Isn't that using faith in God to help deal with the suffering? Sort of like saying 'it's shit now, but it'll come good in the end'.
Long answer: These verses set up a long sequence of argumentation that is fairly difficult to parse, with a few side excursions and back references to points made before. It's fairly difficult to say what these verses actually mean without simultaneously referring to every other bit that follows and their respective relations to each other, which I find somewhat reminiscent to quantum cryptography.
Salvation through faith in God and suffering are connected by hope. See Romans 5:
Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us. You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Do you think that after 37 years in the US Army, I didn't hear, 'You won't let me do it because I am a girl or female)" argument? Say OK, do it and then have have to listen to them complain about getting sand in their vagina!
Fair point, but I have to say that hearing guys complain about the chafing their wedding tackle is getting after a week in the desert wears a little thin after a while.
It is axiomatic to rational thought that assertions must be supported. You can't prove everything, but neither can you simply take everything for granted (or even most things).
My point exactly. You're the one who said that unprovable assumptions are invalid.
So unless you can provide a compelling reason why we should treat it as an axiom that all people have bias (known or unknown), you have no ground to stand on.
If you've done any work in epistemology over the last fifty years you'd be well aware that the biggest problem with bias is that we're not always aware of it, and even when we are we don't always know what to do with it. Any observation we make about the world has to be interpreted before we can use it to make statements about the world and is therefore suspect.
The best we can do is minimise the effect by separating raw observation from interpretation. That's why double blind testing is the gold standard in science. That's easy in physics and chemistry, but hard in armchair sociology. It's also why I'm glad when job applicants don't put their gender or date of birth on their résumés.
I think you miss the parent's point. The problem he(?) has is that if he is to get a place at the shelter he has to spend the day running around doing busy work to keep the shelter's stats up instead of looking for work/accommodation/whatever.
I've seen people miss job interviews because their case worker has forced them to attend classes on how to handle job interviews.
+1 to Westfield. I'm surprised Gerry Harvey hasn't considered this.
Gerry Harvey will rant about how all the overseas companies are screwing you for your info it on Today Tonight, then introduce his own version of the scheme two weeks later with great fanfare and Australian made stickers. Bogans everywhere will line up to buy a second phone, just to feel the love.
I wonder if you've got an equally valid explanation for, say, the UK. That way your post would be relevant.
Or, for that matter, Indonesia. These photos were taken in Indonesia so presumably Indonesian copyright law would have at least some bearing on the question of ownership.
When I read the summary I thought it might have gone side to side and projected streeview on the wall. Whilst I'd much rather be outside on a real bike I do spend a lot of time in crank classes. I'd love to be able to load up a classic bike ride from Europe and get going without worrying about idiot drivers or bike riders who have more expensive equipment than me.
I can just imagine the Tennants and Davidson/Moffetts getting together for Christmas lunch. Swapping stories about the good old days, complaining about these new Doctors who couldn't tell an Abzorbaloff from a Toclafane, even with dampeners on their sonic screwdrivers.
And then they tune in to watch the new Christmas special. Ah, good times...
The Australian Senate is the house of review - the upper house. It is the House of Representatives that is the lower house, and that introduces legislation. The legislation passed the House of Representatives; it passed with amendments in the Senate; and now the House of Representatives needs to vote on those amendments (it looks likely that they will pass).
A slight correction of my own: it reads like you're suggesting the Senate can't introduce legislation. They can introduce most types of legislation except appropriation and taxation bills. In practice you're probably right though---most legislation seems to originate in the House of Reps.
The kind of porn people regularly access on the Internet has been "illegal" in every state of Australia (but not the territories) for a long time now. Why do people find it so surprising that those-who-like-to-censor would apply the same standard to Internet porn that they do to video tape porn?
I agree with your point, but this is a Federal matter, not a State one. The states have happily censored everything for a long time now, but the Feds have stayed right out of it, even when they have the power to stop the Territories selling porn.
Still, your point is a good one. I know far too many people who see the parallel with TV and video and wonder what the problem is with a bit of censorship.
I do find it odd that SBS---which goes to great lengths to explore the pale blue area between porn and erotica is owned by the federal government. If they were really serious about censorship, that'd be a very easy place to start! AH, politics...
1) It's not water; and 2) if you're meaning 'liquid' CO2 doesn't appear in a liquid form at pressures below 5.1 (Earth) atmospheres of pressure. On Mars it will only appear as either gas or 'dry ice.'
Of course, there are plenty of other liquids it could be, and that's why no-one in the know has actually identified it as water.
With the latest CVS Emacs you don't even need to start Emacs from inside a screen session. If you run `emacs --daemon` it'll start in headless mode, and you can use emacsclient to access the one instance from anywhere.
It's the first thing I run when I boot my machine, and the response time is just about zero when I need the editor. What's more, all my files, IRC flame wars, email and whatever else are right where I left them.
When deciding whether to allow them to have access to my first kid I bought their course materials. I have no problem at all with kids learning bible stories (I'm a amateur wannabe bible scholar myself), or being taught to be kind to one and other (in fact if the catholics we here I might let him go). But that is not what is being taught. The course has been cleverly designed to inculcate the kids with fear and an unshakeble belief in God as the evangelists see him (complete with creationism).
Hmm, I know the problem. I fixed that in my kids' school---I teach the Scripture lessons. Few of the kids in the classes I teach (11-12 year olds) had heard of evolution until I taught it to them last week.
It wasn't strictly in the curriculum, but it's nothing that's not (officially) in the school curriculum anyway, so I think I'll keep my job. If I stop posting on/. in the next week or two, though, send out a search party...
I imagine that certain sites, such as sites the size of Slashdot (in terms of dynamically generated pages), make a difference. After all, the index talks in pages, not domains. I bet there's also a lot of junk and redundancy in there, but still, it's quite an achievement to be able to deal with that much data.
Surely you're not saying that Slashdot's full of junk and redundancy and redundancy?
Perhaps, perhaps not. I've experienced odd things like this inthe past.
A few years ago I tried to get to the FSF site by typing the URL into the address bar in Firefox or Phoenix or whatever it was then. For some reason it took me to the Microsoft site.
It turned out I'd mistyped the URL. In that situation the browser automatically does a Google 'I feel lucky' search on the term you type, apparently hoping to get to where you hoped to go.
In my case, I mistyped the '://' after the protocol signifier. Consequently, the search term used was 'http'. For some reason, the number one search for 'http' was Microsoft. I tried it in other search engines and they took me to more obvious places, like w3c and so on. Google went to Microsoft.
This odd behaviour was only corrected recently. It did concern me, though, that many people would mistype the first part of a URL. How many, I wonder, have ended up at MS?

Stalin and Mao weren't TRUE atheists. No TRUE atheist would do such a thing.
They are headed North...straight towards humanity.
Ah, where the hoomans are. Even after RTFA I couldn't work out exactly where the northern reaches of Antarctica were.

I think if you don't realize your bias then you are unwittingly probably part of the problem.
You're making the (unprovable, and thus invalid) assumption that everyone has bias, whether they know it or not. That's ridiculous.
So you're assuming that unprovable assumptions are invalid. Could you please prove that and thus validate your claim?
Yes, in November 1975. The Whitlam government was sacked by the GG, John Kerr.

Carbon Dioxide won't condense to water because
