"Have you actually ever looked into the idea, or do you like to just read a summary, and then rant about how silly it is?" I've RTFA and watched the presentation. It is the presentation I have the biggest problem with, too "we'll change the web experience" and pretending it is working while it is clearly in it's infancy when you test it.
I don't know why but their presentation pisses me off beyond reason.
Probably because it's the n-th time somebody is trying to impose some silly standard.
And pretends it's the best invention since you-know-what.
I have in real life a fairly common name, there's at least 10 of me worldwide, I recognized that they deliberately picked a unique name to show how well it works.
"Car travel, by contrast, is largely mundane." Enjoy it while you can, because the moment I conquer the world everyone able will have to show every year how far they can get on their own power, use of HPVs allowed. That will be the distance they will be allowed to travel each day.
Weren't GMO crops going to stop world hunger? And wasn't that WAY more precise and therefore WAY faster than common crop enhancement technniques? That has been promised since at least 1998.
My point is that you seem to make a comment on people who hate Fox News, but then immediately you exclude the people who make intelligent decisions about it. That's a smart way of making it impossible to rebut your claim with statistics or whatever. I'ld rather have it that you'ld say 'some' or 'many' than 'real'.
And indeed people are using this to remove videos they do not like. Example: convict Kent Hovind spread false videos against evolution. With permission to spread. Several people made response videos and these were removed referring to this issue. Pro-God YT user VenomFangX made people file complaints on many anti-him (small 'h', VFX) videos, but went too far by using it as a censorship trick. YT user Thunderf00t, who was wrongly censored, threatened to sue VFX unless VFX made apologies and shut up for a year - watch the forced apologies being uttered on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_MYyc-PtH4&feature=PlayList&p=4618299B334AB7B9&index=8 By the way VFX did not make the one year silence full. He again places his anti-evolution barf, and typically only allows his fans to comment.
What's this cloning fascination all over this page? If you want to clone, why would you need to first read out the entire genome? Nature is doing pretty well in copying DNA if you only find a nice cell to start with.
Further, in DNA-matching suspects they are doing pretty fine now with a handful of typical pieces of DNA. Don't need the whole genome for the first step.
Well obviously all figures need to be looked at with functioning brains. And to compare the influence of countries you clearly need to compare the big ones. It's just so abstract to compare such huge figures, per capita makes it possible to grasp what it roughly is about.
An official request to obtain His fossil remains for color sampling has been made to His last known whereabouts but diplomat H. Peter claims He is still alive.
Scientists, amazed at the age of Jesus, insisted to be given sample cell material for research on teleomeric decay, but H.Peter advised them to "have Faith".
belief: for me belief in this context is about holding things for true that lack evidence. Atheists lack the belief in Gods, as they see no evidence. So saying non-belief is a belief to me seems to be you-too behavior (tu quoque).
And your line on Dawkins shows your worldview is built around religion. Break free! Think rational!
"Nope, atheism in fact requires accepting nothing that cannot be logically proven" Strange requirement. Sounds like you are mixing skepticism with atheism.
Sigh. atheism is just the absence of believe in Gods. That's all. No rituals. No leaders. Belief in anything else, such as proper science, not required. Ergo. Not a religion.
In the previous century there was a comic by Bill Watterson, featuring a smartass kid with a tiger pet, and I remember one of them roughly: Calvin says in class "..200(?) BC America was discovered.." Teacher: "200 BC?" Smug brat: "Before Calvin!" Last image, Calvin punished with a donkey ear hat sitting in a corner: "That's what's important!"

ouch! got me....

Ach we'll see.
That's a quick way to reduce errors :)
FWIW on my ie8 vista 64 version I see texts and images appear and disappear on queue with the text.
I'm not sure if you can blame any browser if your frontpage has 188 Errors, 6 warnings on the html validator.
(try hiding your script language) !
"Firefox is a richer, more adaptable browser than Internet Explorer.
The Real Deal: Internet Explorer 8 has much more functionality than other browsers, built in from the minute you open it. "
The contra-IE arguments MS quotes were rightly based on IE6 and IE7. They are refuting it with alleged capabilities of IE8. Is that honest?

Wait until you hear about predestination / reprobation!

There are some settings to be changed under about:config - my FF3 behaves well now.
That seems to be the best explanation for all people still on FF2.

I think the per capita figures (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:GDP_PPP_Per_Capita_Worldmap_2008_CIA_Factbook.svg) are also important.
(Not to worry jabithew, the US is bound to drop fast on this list.)
Any word on whether Jesus was black or not?

Can an imaging technique for pigments be used to extract DNA? I would be surprised.
At least one person -William Lane Craig- will be convinced by that line of arguing...
