Indeed this is true. In my French classes the last two semesters, we have watched "Le Dîner de Cons" and "Les Visiteurs", both of which were excellent, as well as hilarious. There was an American version of "Les Visiteurs" made, but it kinda sucked. It was funny, but not as funny as the French version.
Actually, that raises the interesting point of whether they transferred 500 terabytes (500 x 10^12 bytes / 500000000000000 bytes) or 500 tebibytes (500 x 2^40 bytes / 549755813888000 bytes)? In the kibibyte/kilobyte range which prefix you use doesn't make much difference (~2.4 % difference), but at tebi/terabyte range it kinda does (~9.5 % difference).
I work for Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, and I know we've got some amazing computing systems. I think its not supercomputers, but massive clusters. http://computing.fnal.gov/cd/
FNAL is owned by the Department of Energy, which is quite definitely gov't. That might be one ace... And I'm sure there are many others at, for example, Los Alamos, Argonne, Jefferson Labs, etc. Not to mention military installations...
The people who are opposed to gay marriage are actually very disturbed people who are in denial.
I really hate sharing this country with such superstitious and frightened people.
I really hate sharing this country with such willfully ignorant people.
They can't accept that people who happen to disagree with them might not fit into the little boxes they construct for us.
The reason I, and as far as I know, most other Christians who are opposed to gay marriage, are opposed is not because we think that two people of the same gender cannot feel love for one another, but because the Bible quite expressly homosexual relations. Attack that if you wish. But please, don't make yourself a fool by making impossibly broad generalizations and attacking people for something that simply is not true.
DON'T ask on the y-devel mailing list, "Is Y-Windows still alive?" The developers are very cranky, especially about such questions. Basically, the answer is "We're busy, and it doesn't seem as important to us anymore. So, if we get bored, we'll do alittle work." The actual reply however, is much more caustic. Here is the archive of a full discussion of the state of Y.
Also, there seems to be some awfully weird licensing kind of stuff going on there lately... The developers have been claiming that someone "stole" the source code to Y, and warning people against "pirated" versions... That sent all kinds of red flags up in my head. And here is the archive of the discussion of the "stolen" source code (see Y-windows update)
Fundamentally, government should be completely determined by the governed (ie Rousseau's Social Contract, which no, I haven't actually read, but the ideas therein were summed up in class). So the difference is simply this: we don't like it when the **AA does it. If enough people don't like it, then we should attempt to get a law passed to that effect. If we fail, then we can either determine that there was an insufficient number trying to pass the law, or the gov't is corrupt, in which case we form a militia (the purpose of the "Right to Bear Arms" amendment) and overthrow the government by force. That's the principle. In practice of course, things are a bit stickier than that.
Her and Jessica's father, Joe Simpson, was the youth minister at my church for 8 years. I grew up going to children's sunday school with Ashlee. And now look what has happened. I'm ashamed.
Here's a thought. Probably not really feasible, but I'll throw it out there anyway.
How about if these companies were to send one of their robotic arms or whatever (surely they have at least one spare? or could get one?) to a good CS university (MIT, Berkeley, etc.) as fodder for undergraduate projects. "Here guys, write some driver code for this, make it work like this Win 3.1 program. Your target platform is Linux. The results will be released under GPL, so if you've got a problem with that, drop the class now."
Sorry. I was given to understand that there was no explanation for speciation by a respected physics professor who came to give a series of lectures at my university. I suppose he must have been misinformed, but I do not think that I was wrong to have trusted what he said. Thank you for the correction.
Don't get the idea that I am anti-evolutionary. I am not. I am opposed to those who pretend evolution is a perfect and proven fact which can never be argued against. That is simply bad science.
In addition, I am opposed to people who attack Christianity, or even all religion, based on the ignorance of a excessively vocal few. Not that that is you. But it does describe a fair number of people, even on/.
Furthermore, you are correct about the anti-evolutionary/creationist websites. They are quite dishonest. And they have been for at least thirty years. My father had a pamphlet from one of them once during his college years in the 70s, and reading through it, he thought it sounded familiar. He finally figured out that they had copied several paragraphs verbatim from one of his astronomy/cosmology textbooks. However, once again, please strive not to misjudge all Christians, or even all Fundamentalist Christians, based on what a few have said.
I have never known anyone ever who bragged to me, or even mentioned for that matter, "The new single I got the other day". Maybe singles have never sold to my demographic or something, but until this whole mess with the RIAA, I wasn't aware that it was possible to purchase songs all by themselves. And if I had known that, I would have thought it was a good idea, until I found out that hardly any songs were available that way, and the price was ridiculous.
Your proof is sufficient (almost, more on that later) for what is known as micro-evolution, but it cannot account for speciation, which is in fact a major sticking point. There currently exists no widely accepted theory (and yes, I mean theory.) which can explain speciation. There might be some fringe ideas that could eventually get refined into something that makes sense, but I don't know of any.
Furthermore, what most Fundamentalist Christians (notice that the qualifier is necessary, as a very large percentage of Christians are not Fundamentalists) argue is not that evolution could not or does not occur (micro-evolution, which is what you have described) but that evolution is not in fact the mechanism by which the world got to the state it is currently in.
Now, about your proof. Not that I think that it is an unresolvable problem, but for the "proof" to really hold, you need to explain why you can ignore "singular cases".
Pardon my asking, but what Windows API was in existence in the late 80s/early 90s? Are you really still using Windows 3.1? (Or was that even around in late 80s?) Alas, by my ignorance of history, I betray my youth.
Not all mathematical expressions are statements of truth...
ex: 2 + 2 = 5.
Or less trivially, truly mathematical expresions generally are statements of truth, for example, Addition is a closed commutative associative binary operation on the set of all complex numbers. (assuming that addition, closed commutative associative binary operation, and set of all complex numbers have been adequately defined.) But I doubt that that is what you were referring to. Stop me if I'm wrong, but you were mostly likely talking about an arithmetic expression, which has much less untouchable standing as "A STATEMENT OF TRUTH". I do agree that patenting even an arithmetic expression is nonsensical, but not because it is somehow universal and unapproachable.
True indeed. There are lots of ways to kill things in a petri dish that have no real application to viable therapies for humans. For example, bake it in an oven, freeze it in liquid helium, pour hydroflouric acid on it, bathe it in intense radiation of all kinds, put it under ludicrously intense pressure, build a rocket to throw it in the sun. Most of these would kill the human as or more quickly than they would kill the cancer. And they would certainly kill the human quicker than the cancer alone would.
