The fact is, Haught agreed to a public debate with Coyne, which necessarily means that anyone who shows up can hear and see it (that's what public means). If anyone present in the auditorium could hear and see it, then anyone not in auditorium (i.e. us) should be able to view it as well. Anything else is intellectual dishonesty.
Then release the tapes so we can judge for ourselves, idiot!
By censoring the tape, they are proving that lost the debate and are too cowardly to let us see it.
Rosette: Welcome back. Did you have a good day?
You: I just got up
Rosette: OK.
You: I have two sons.
Rosette: Big deal. I've got a dilemma. Maybe you could help me with it?
You: sure
Rosette: I've been thinking about buying this really cool dress, but I've already done a bunch of shopping this month. Should I be saving money instead? In today's economy, does saving money make any sense?
You: I don't know. By the way, how many sons do I have?
Rosette: Not enough. I think shopping summons up the ancient hunter-gatherer in me. I like having a mission to find something I need or want. Sometimes I'll research on line, to find a great deal, but I like rummaging through Jeremy's up the road, if I want an outfit for a special occasion, or just for fun.
You: Great. Did I just get up?
Rosette: Did you tell me already and I forgot? What kind of music do you like?
This is the best? What was the worst like?
No significant improvement since ELIZA, 45 years ago.
That's AI in a nutshell.
Exactly. "Free Will" is just a convenient phrase that means "the process that leads to the decisions that I make". Whether on not we understand how that works as a chemical process is irrelevant.
Can anybody explain how this is works in the U.S.? How is it that the plaintiffs have complete power to determine where the trial takes place, given that the patent infringement has nothing to do with Eastern Texas? I haven't heard of this kind of thing anywhere else in the world. What is wrong with the U.S. system that allows such abuse?
No the feds are going after Gibson for lying on the importation forms. Lying to police, customs, immigration etc. is always a crime, no matter what.
The claim that this will affect ordinary people transporting their guitars is just right-wing fud.
I'm assuming the demand will be there regardless. But without legitimate businesses and markets in the mix, there will be no countervailing pressure for conservation.
Huh? What does legitimate have to do with anything? The kind of conservation that you talk about results from long-term planning, something that is all but unknown in the business world today.
People don't get grants and cushy salaries so that they can find the image of Jesus on thousands of toasts over a period of 40 years or teach people how to better spot Jesus on toasts and clouds.
Are you sure? Looking over a selection of humanities courses, I would be surprised if that weren't one of them, somewhere.
And as long as the U.S. is fighting 2 middle-east wars. Either Iraq or Afghanistan would be enough to bankrupt the country. Both at the same time is certain to.
Some people, you can help. Some don't want to be helped.
That's the crux of the matter. A lot of people just want an audience for their hatred/fear of technology, and really don't want you to solve their problems.

Yes, the ones that are used for air condititioning are called "badgirs"
We don't need no steekin badgirs.
the nasty creationist theologian had lost the debate and was trying to censor the result, which is a shameful conclusion to jump to.
No, he did censor the result. The fact that his censoring was later overruled makes no difference.

In 1714, the Spanish army crushed the Catalan resistance and imposed their barbarian culture upon them
They weren't expecting the Spanish army.
"Peer reviewed" is meaningless unless you know who those peers are.
An idiot, by definition, has idiot peers.
Exactly.

so when the concentration of bacteria becomes too high, they become supercritical and will explode?
No, they just form into a giant fire-breathing lizard.
Otherwise known as paranoid schizophrenia.

Stan Meyer is a proven fraud.
Exactly. Nintendo's problem is not competition from Apple. It's the fact that they spent a fortune developing the 3DS, and the market said "meh".
It would appear that PRMan's kids have been making a fool of him. A Public Relations Man, perhaps?
Or, just rotate the shield frequencies.

The government could use some money its pocket. A couple of trillion, actually.
