If only they would do such a thing to make up for the harrassment I received from no less than four democrats (including a Senate candidate of all people) while waiting my hour in line last week. All four wanted me to vote straight ticket democrat because it was the easiest choice that required the least amount of thought. They even had three separate flyers suggesting I do this. I took their flyers for fun and to help them run out before the unthinking mob they were apparently trying to influence showed up.
One of the four even made an effort to see how far over the 100 foot line without having his feet cross.
Disgusting and lets me know exactly how far the whole election system has fallen.
Having spent two years in high school homeschooling because of a lousy public school system where I lived followed by graduating from college magna cum laude and then masters cum laude, I would like to note that opposing the idea of home schooling is ridiculous.
Being opposed to shoddily done home schooling is another issue.
Maybe the lazy but slightly dishonest kid down the street, who upon finding my door locked, comes and finds yours--your hard drive is now on ebay for way less than it is worth by the way.
But this won't work if I build a fusion reactor in my garage with money from my great-grandfather's estate (or what-have-you) and then am without cash to get it into production for the masses.
By your method, I either find someone to sell my copyright to, or... more likely, the big evil company just waits until it goes PD and gets it for free. Licensing is a possibility just like it is today, but would probably be less likely in your scenario.
In Spain, billboards are by and large illegal because they are considered to pose traffic hazards. Flyers and direct mailings lend to environmental problems depending on how they are printed (since they invariably find themselves in the dump). Spam by email wastes energy and bandwidth that might be used otherwise.
Let's make them all illegal and force advertising to come up with something new.
How many are practicing? Or isn't it like in the US where most people are one religion or another but on a Friday / Saturday / Sunday / whatever religious day, you're more likely to find them running in the park or playing golf?
Disagreeing with Christians is one thing, claiming they made it all up is another:
1. The search for the historical Jesus came back--yes, he really did exist. The primarily non-Christian group that pursued the study didn't come up with much more than that since they basically were seeking to prove his existence in the first place. (No, I am not talking about the "liberal" Christian pursuit nor the book by the "conservative" Bock)
2. Granted, the New Testament accounts are primarily internally testamental. BUT, they were not written by the same person so, consider it a compendium of varied accounts that are consistent if historical background to the era is understood.
3. One of the greatest archaeologists of the 19th century became famous because he set out to disprove large sections of the NT and came back having proved them to his own frustration.
4. Santa Claus was a Christian "saint" for crying out loud and died several centuries ago after having been known for dropping packets of money to his people through their chimneys so they could afford to... live.
5. This will now be modded down.
oh, and Horus isn't really a good analog here... the most often claimed "prior art" is from a mystery religion in Greece... this doesn't fit well though given the above points and the time period of the mystery religion involved.
I had a friend do this--most hair dryers put out too much heat and you'll end up melting the components on a sub-visible level. air dry with a fan aimed at it.
One can also find spray bottles of "electronics" cleaners--which is some form of fast evaporating liquid (not alcohol which will strip some parts).
It seems to me this is part of the point made above several times (perhaps best by Crichton). There is no way to know how common occurrence is.
Even understanding how life began here is impossible--before I get my head bitten off, we can only test possible methods. How life BEGAN here must always remain outside of science. How life COULD HAVE BEGUN is within science.
At this point, both sides of the debate are taking whatever evidence comes up and claiming it supports their perspective.
A closed-minded creationist?
Whatever next?
I would think he is noting that there is no possibility of debate when both sides are starting with non-complementary philosophical bases. The issue becomes too emotional on both sides (or because of the different bases of understanding, both sides tend to think the other is composed of blind idiots).
This is where the philosophy of science people and certain (don't bite my head off, I'm not saying all) ID and creationist people come in and start discussing the philosophy behind it all rather than the "facts"
all of it--I had a professor in college note that the "stages of evolution" model showing the progression of a human fetus was complete bunk used to steer people away from creationism (no, she was not a creationist). They still use it in the texts where I teach today.
Recognizing the joke, there is a point to be made here. The creationists that uphold a "theistic evolution" model don't suggest a "young earth" as do those who uphold creation without evolution.
Since when is a company going to do what would obviously make it the most money?
It has been too long since Maxis was independent of EA's marketing people. The people who are lovers of the game itself should have more say in how it is marketed.
Apparently the plant editor is available but not worth much:
"copy your shortcut to Spore - in the copy of the shortcut, go to "properties" and at the end of the filename (after the -locale:en-us switch), add -state:FloraEditor"
I am interested to know if other "editors" are available with the right command line whatnot.
The plant editor apparently can be enabled but isn't worth much:
"copy your shortcut to Spore - in the copy of the shortcut, go to "properties" and at the end of the filename (after the -locale:en-us switch), add -state:FloraEditor"
I am interested to know if any more is available with the right cmd line whatnot.

slightly better than that because most won't actually vote

What happens if your battery runs down? It seems to me that having a small induction system would be better for getting back into my house.
just be sure you don't have google earth open when you get the x cursor--I'd hate for you to click over my house.
MS Word's reading grade level calculator checks for run-ons and bumps the grade level up a bit everytime it finds one.
at least your subconscious can click "preview" and "submit" for you--I am pretty sure mine would only get as far as "preview"
Your last line reminds me of my students... you forgot to make it a contraction though--> Chill'ax

In which case, maybe he should just print the email with headers?
1) my computer executes the instruction
2) I put the load in the dryer
3) a Harley or a Suzuki (or maybe quality... in which case... 6th one down might be... BMW?)
4) ...

What? Mayer of a town of 8000? Running a state trying to secede from the union?
and if it were trying to secede... wouldn't that make her more qualified to be in the executive branch of a sovereign nation rather than less...?
