they would be hard pressed to only teach their version of religion and not also teach Islam, Judaism, Hinduism etc...etc...etc... which these types of people believe would not be acceptable. After all, thinking for yourself is scary
Yes, because followers of those other religions actually think for themselves more/sarcasm>
P.S. how do you display a less-than symbol in the comments?
This will allow mixed redering, so that the old 3d card in a given system can do most of the work, and this will just render the things that require modern features. That would be quite useful.
On the other hand, this might be a boost for media centre pc's, portable video players (like the archos gmini400)... All the better for me to watch my XviD DVDrips on!
Essentially,
Quadrance is distance-sqared, spread is sine-sqaured. The "big advantage" is that they are rational for points with rational coordinates.
From TFA:
Divine Proportions: Rational Trigonometry to Universal Geometry opens up new areas of research not only in Euclidean geometry, but also in algebraic geometry, number theory, combinatorics, sprecial functions, Lie theory and non-Euclidean geometries.
This guy is clearly nuts if he thinks that! not only are sin and cos as natural as can be (cos(t) is just the real part of exp(it)), most of those fields would not be affected, except maybe "sprecial functions", which sounds made-up.
Damn right! TFA's other suggestions are equally stupid. He wants to break a good design (the existing one) and replace it with a broken, Microsoftish one. The tabs are better underneath the navagation buttons, because they are closer to the rendered webpages, and hence easier to get to. It's by no means unintuitive that each tab has its own history.
The scary thing about this is not that terrorists are e-mailing each other or some such, but that they now have unprecedented access to Joe Mohammed for recruiting purposes through annonymous websites and webforums. This is the kind of thing that would make Goebbles cream his pants, and that IS scary!
actually, most islamic Jihadists are well-educated professionals, with money and university degrees. They have money and free time, so they can build their own islamic libraires, contemplate its meaning, etc, etc. see, for instance http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.a sp?ID=10282
the columbine kids did not draw upon an all-encomapssing idealogy or fight for a cause; nor did they have outside support. The ONLY similarity is that they killed.
Also note that Muslims have a religious imperative to conceal information from and deceive the Infidels. (Look up the words "al-taqiyya" and "kitman") Moreover, in Islam there is no concept of "civilian". Non-muslims are either subjigated
Dhimmis, when they live under Muslim rule ("Dar al-Islam"), or enemies, when they live elsewhere ("Dar al-Harb"- that is, "House of War")
Such fatwas are disingenuous and intended to placate the Infidels.
The ISP can charge for providing the information to the industry. I use Shaw, and I can't possibly see them passing up free money. I mean, come on, it's Shaw.
the TFA says the ISP can charge for keeping the records. This means (IMHO) that they would probably charge the consumer for it, unfortunately.
From article: Although the FX-57 runs at 2.8GHz, we did have some room to overlock things a bit by raising the bus speeds - we were able to safely clock it to a steady 3GHz and found an average performance gain of near 20-percent at that level.
This seems to imply Athlon scales better than linearly (?!) How does that work?
He wrote a story (``preserving machine'') about a mad scientist who turned old scores into animals in attempt to preserve the music. Unfortunately, the animals adapted, and when the process was reversed, they turned back into nonsensical cacophany.
I am a musician, and I have heard these things in person. For performances recorded directly on a Disklavier, the recording is indistinguishable from the original to my ears (and to every other musiciain I have talked to about this). If the technique in the article is indeed accurate, then this could mean great things. However, as the article mentioned, it is much more difficult to determine when the notes stop sounding, and pedalling, than the attacks.
There is the interesting question of copyright: for ancient recordings ressurrected, who owns what? and is it possible to just tweak a few notes and then do what you want with the thing? (remember, the piece, and the recording are P.D.)
This was an absolutely incredible film, easily better than ep. 1,2 and 6. You'll be cheating yourself as well as those involved in making the film if you don't see this in theatres. Search your feelings! Do not be seduced by the dark side!
Why should I be jealous? I merely object to French cultural chauvanism. One would believe that they have a total monopoly on all that is refined or sophisticated. Nobody seems to realize how fundamentally crass this pretension really is.
"The real issue is elsewhere. And it is immense. It is confirmation of the risk of a crushing American domination in the definition of how future generations conceive the world."
What makes spreading French culture any less imperialistic than spreading American culture? While Google is not trying to be explicitly imperialistic, the French are. Do they intend to do to the internet what they did to Algeria, Haiti, Vietnam, etc. ? This sort of attitude towards culture is pure hypocrasy.

Actually, they'll be able to have a long discussion about it in heaven ;)
Don't count on it...

This is why we should not buy non-indiginous pets and the release them into the wild.
And when?
And for how much?

Science at its best!

Right wing or not, that has no bearing on whether it correctly reported the facts. If you had bothered to check, you'd see that it did.

I think this website has an agenda of their own. Consider the fact that they themselves do not actually condemn the killing PETA allegedly does
Yeah, does anyone know of sites shipping to canada that do not have giant duty/ shipping costs?

Many people choose LCDs in order to reduce eye strain. Unless I'm missing something, this seems not to get that advantage.
while $8E7 is a lot to us mortals, they were only off by less than 1%. What is the big deal?
