I'm not a big fan of ID. But I don't have a problem with someone pointing out flaws in a model.
I think students should be told that our model of reality is not perfect. I think they should be told that Evolution has problems, that F does not really equal MA, and that we don't know what dark matter is.
I am not about to argue ID. But I am ready to say that when the government starts setting a "Federal List Of Theories Approved For Discussion" we are in serious trouble.
Law, particularly IP law, has a lot in common with quantum mechanics. In both fields, answers are often given in the form of probabilities rather than certainties.
I had a lot of trouble in QM. Now I know why all this IP stuff confuses me too. I guess the new expression is "It doesn't take a IP lawyer" rather than "It doesn't take a rocket scientist" SIGH.
How do you deal with things like Leviticus 11:19 where Moses says that Bats are a type of bird?
Actually, it says that bat is a "oph", or flying creature.
Why on earth did you think to apply the Linnean classification to the Scriptures? This is the equivalent of a creationist saying "yeah, well, evolution is a theory, not a fact" and sitting back proudly. If you want to discuss the inerrancy of Scripture, please email me. I'm sure the discussion can move past Birds & Bats.;-)
It's just a little Physics, not magic: from Johnny Chung Lee's website (and also in the magazine):
How you use it is 80% of the smoothness. This even is true for the professional stuff with all the fancy shocks and hydraulics. Don't expect this thing to perform miracles, you have to practice using your arms and body to create a smooth motion. Watch your hands while you walk, and see how level you can keep them relative to the ground. Watching the shadow of your hands on a sunny say is an easy way to isolate thier movement. Keep your legs bent and learn how to "glide". I talked with someone who has used professional steady-cams and they said this was, "really, just as good." Getting good results is not so much about the equipment, but how you use it. That's really true about everything.
I find it odd that Jean-Noel Jeanneney calls Google's work a "Messianic dream". I am a big fan of books and the written word, but to digitalized volumes with the Christ seems a bit over zealous.
Besides, this is funny coming from a country which likes to ban English words.
OK, now bikers have bigger email accounts than I do. They already have everything I don't, muscles, babes, big fast bikes, respect, fear.... But I am running SuSE 9.1 and that makes me cool, right? right? anyone?
All of a sudden, NASA's new astronaut "help wanted" add makes sense...
...In addition to achievements in low energy physics, the ability to fly a jet, and a strong stomach, applicants are expected to have some renowned as operatic singers in case of power failures...
You forgot to add "and I don't know common idioms used regularly in real life although apparently not the irc channels and web forums in which I spend all meaningful portions of my life."
Thanks for fleshing out my comment for me, but in my little corner of the 'verse, "An equal exchange or substitution" tends to be pronounced "This is a conservative force" or something along those lines....:)
And rather than expressions used in contracts and boring stuff like that, I like phrases like Si tacuisses, philosophus mansisses.
I agree. The best way to handle this is to name non-embryo stem cells something else. This was done with MRIs, because calling it "Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging" caused people to freak.

That should have read "seems a bit kooky" - Ah, esprit d'escalier!

>I mean, it isn't even a topic of debate outside the
>US, people accept it as fact.
I see what you are saying, but the argument "Everybody else believes it so it is true" always rubs me the wrong way.
Does anyone know more about this?
My favorite quote is "Batteries are included (they last about 45 minutes but are rechargeable)."
PG should simply reply "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn."

Maybe it's like that new definition of "is" that everybody was talking about a few years ago...

nor so I speak Latin, so I didn't know that Quid Pro Quo means "An equal exchange or substitution." ( American Heritage )
Oh! Oh! I know! Sue everybody over OO.org?
Just install lightning rods all over the campus?
I'm afraid that their conclusion isn't very hopeful for those of us welcoming our new listening plant over... yeah.
There is an interesting bit about Mimosa pudica, a plant that is sensitive to vibrations.
Can't wait to see it.
The article also describes a 2.5 hour documentary by Kevin Burns that traces the origins of the saga.
Which might make it worth it. I know I'll buy it anyway.
This, however:
'The first cut of Star Wars,' Burns' narrator says, 'was an unmitigated disaster.'
Would be very, very cool to see.
For federal jury duty, the lists are made from voter rolls.
For states, jury lists come from voter rolls or driver license lists.
