I respectable religion does not threaten people wishing to leave it with death. That isn't a religion, it is a cult with all the control that goes with it.
Turkey isn't a Muslim state now, but I'm willing to wait 20 years for them to become one. Islamists are never satisfied unless they have total control to make everyone as miserable as themselves.
Yep, in grad school we could always tell the ones we'd be graduating with. Those that had grit made it, those that didn't...no matter how they flashed their intelligence...did not.
Just for the record, you do realize your argument is full of holes. You have a statistical study of...err...one. And they did a statistical study, they never said "if you have no self-control as a kneebiter, then you will become a wanker".
It is precisely because these are statistical studies that they may not apply in your particular case. It doesn't apply in any other particular case either even if the tyke had no self-control and became a wanker. However, if smoking causes cancer in X % of the cases, you might wish to consider not smoking. You might even die in your nineties after having smoked your entire adult life.
Billshit. Gates left because he couldn't stand his wife whining about the world's problems anymore and he also realized the tech world had passed him by years before. He was, to put it bluntly, a bunion on a big toe of the world. In order get some respect, he left.
That's a false choice. When I was growing up, there were no video games. Ma wouldn't let us watch the TV after school. We had friends, we played touch football with our friends, we played pickup basketball, etc. Not that we didn't get into trouble at times, we did. But video games will not keep kids away from drugs, smoking, or alcohol. They take up some of the kids time.
Playing pickup games with teams forced us to organize a strategy, call plays, react, keep our tempers under control if only to keep the game going, kept us fit. I've played video games, they are not that much of a substitute for me.
Yes, I agree, but then I've seen and talked to senior CS students at a major midwestern university. If they weeded out in the freshmen year, there'd be no senior CS students. CS has gone down hill but for the big name schools who can attract the brightest who somehow fail to be attracted becoming Business School Product.
Those are good, but what I really need is something like an Electric Monk (Douglas Adams, Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency) which will believe things for me so I do not have to.
According to the article, Israel asked the U.S. for bunker buster bombs and the U.S. refused. That doesn't sound like Israel controlling the U.S. And why would it be a shame for the U.S. to be involved...unless you think it is a good thing that Iran gets the bomb. Once they do, expect several other countries in the mid-east to start their own programs to get it. Why, in 20 years, when they are all nuclear armed, it will be nice bunny world for all.
Just out of curiosity, what changes could the GP make that would bork your network. I could see changing a IP address might screw it up. Assigning IP's dynamically should handle that shouldn't it, the computer is going in and out of the building. I'm somewhat naive here, but what else could he managing his machine that would cause troubles outside of his machine?
Yeah, let's get rid of the corporations. We don't need no stinking cars, electricity, drugs, food, petroleum products, lumber, clothes, etc. We'll all live off the land in our little bunny world of a dirtball planet.
WSJ was recently bought while FoxNews is Satan's own spawn. Murdoch probably won't drag WSJ all the way down because their profits only occur due to their credibility while FoxNews survives as entertainment.
I know, that's why I'm rooting for her to take over. Ballmer is a tough act to follow but I think she can drag them down even faster and put MS out of our misery.
"Infinite densities are only forbidden in the sense that they don't fit nicely in the models framework, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the model should be shelved."
More to the point, one shouldn't mistake the mathematics for the physics. Just because a mathematical model indicates infinite density does in no way imply it need exist physically. For that to happen, the mathematics would have to completely describe the physical situation. It might, but we cannot ever know that. All we can do is claim consistency up to a certain epsilon of measurement.
It is only a ponzi scheme now because Congress continually increased the number of straws sucking money out of the system. All they need do is increase the age at which you can withdraw benefits. Unless of course you think a society should send all its blue hairs out to the desert to die away from everyone else.
Yes, but those 2 dozen professional data thieves are attempting to build a system that will last another 10-20 years with increasing demands on it and a constantly changing database. Do get a sense of proportion.
Running around in the trees and bush with a high powered rifle killing critters is not a sport. A sport would be if the critters could shoot back. Since critters don't have opposable thumbs, how about we divide hunters into teams. They we let them out in field to shoot each other. The team with the most members still standing wins. Now THAT'S a sport.
That is written about in one chapter of Mary Roach's book, Spook. I highly recommend it. She writes in a humorous style about odd things. Anyhow, in Spook, she observes a scientist trying to measure a "soul", visits researchers in India attempting to find evidence of reincarnation, and also runs into the explanation you just gave. At least I hope I am remembering this from her book and not somewhere else.
I do a lot of mathematics, but I firmly believe there is a mischievious ghostly entity who moves the abstract structure of the universe around whenever I get close to solving something that would make me famous. I'd like to give him a good kick in the psychic pants.
"It's an interesting move, and it brings us one step closer to the end of the "PC era.""
Apple makes it easier to buy software for their PC and you somehow interpret this has making a step closer to the end of PC? That's some fancy reasoning you have there.

You mean if you weren't a Kurd or a Shi'ite, then Iraq was progressive.

C'mon Rush, don't hold back...
You mean he keeps himself in business by being a fence for stolen information.
I like how He buried all those dinosaur bones, prefossillized, some even with teeth marks. That had to be a lot of work.
