"Traditionalist America has always held homosexuality to be unnatural and immoral, ruinous to body and soul alike, and where prevalent – as in Weimar, Germany – the mark of a sick society. This belief outrages millions. Yet it is as old as mankind and was held universally in the Christian West until this century. Moreover, it is grounded in biblical truth, tradition, natural law and Catholic doctrine." -- Pat Buchanan, March 28, 2013
that study doesn't compare children of two-parent opposite-sex couples to children of two-parent same-sex couples, so it doesn't support your position because it's simply not measuring the relevant information.
It's true that the verb is "apexesqai" 'to abstain from", but the context makes it quite clear that it's referring to the consumption of blood. If one interprets a food prohibition this way, one should also avoid organ transplantation since it would constitute cannibalism. Apparently organ transplants _were_ officially prohibited by the Jehovah's Witnesses until 1980, which is at least consistent, I guess.
"Nobody actually uses it"? Listing/afs, I see AFS cells at MIT, Stanford, Harvard, CMU, Cornell... and I know my local universities use it internally, although their AFS space isn't publicly accessible. It might not be popular in corporate environments, but it appears to be very much in use at American universities.
Re: iOS and other proprietary platforms, you could use a WebDAV client. The mod_waklog Apache module allows HTTPS users to authenticate via Kerberos, which means that WebDAV access works with OpenAFS.
There are *no* requirements for compliance for ISPs that don't impose data caps. What specific provisions in the bill do you think will lead to "loopholes" and "red tape"?
They don't "own your code" in any sense. If you violate the license, you're committing copyright infringement, but it has no effect on the copyright status of your own work.
Guile 2.0 is a huge improvement over earlier releases. Scheme programs are now compiled for a custom VM with an optimizing compiler (not simply interpreted, and AOT or JIT native compilation are now much more practical goals), and Guile now supports hygienic macros, delimited continuations, Unicode, dynamic FFI, R6RS and more SRFIs, and comes with a new debugger and REPL, SXML, and a Web server, among other new standard modules. There's also a SLIME-like Emacs interface: http://www.nongnu.org/geiser/
It's definitely worth a second look if you previously evaluated Guile in the 1.x days.
Correction: they may or may not have been tear-gassed; some people are claiming fire extinguishers were used (there is obviously some kind of gas being used in the video coming from the kitchen)
It's actually quite useful to support user-extensible control flow. For example, because Guile supports macros and delimited continuations, you can implement Emacs's buffer-local variables as a library, whereas implementing the same feature in a language like Python would require either rewriting user programs or adding an ad-hoc language extension that wouldn't necessarily compose well with other language extensions. Guile's "CS Prof" features can be a considerable advantage for some applications.
"Ron" is Ron Garrett, nee Erann Gat. He used to work at JPL, where he created an autonomous spacecraft control system which was named NASA Software of the Year. His homepage has a list of his publications, and you can find his Usenet postings with Google Groups, if you like (he used to post quite frequently in comp.lang.lisp).
His Blogger profile even links to his homepage. Xooglers is not some anonymous blog; it's written by people using their real names and at least one of them has a decent track record as a software developer. I haven't even seen any particularly negative remarks in Xooglers posts, except for self-deprecating remarks by the authors! Why don't you actually try reading TFB instead of spewing bile?
This is the first time this has been seen in mammals. The potential implications are positively mammoth.
Well, I guess they've let the cat out of the bag. We heard this straight from the horse's mouth, after all. I just hope this turns out to be really useful and they're not just barking up the wrong tree; until then I'm sure they'll avoid making mountains out of mole-hills. There will be many copycats of any product resulting from this, but I'm sure that these researchers will receive the lion's share of the profits.
What if Google launched a Mars mission and secured themself exclusive rights for the whole planet?
Hey, not bad! You should consider submitting some of these - with any luck your exclusive Google news will make it to the front page two or three times...
IE7 does this. That "IE7" isn't the next version of Internet Explorer; rather, it is a JavaScript library that will rewrite standards-compliant stylesheets to IE-bugginess-compatible stylesheets. No ActiveX required.

From the Google Talk Developers page: "Hangouts will replace Google Talk and does not support XMPP."

Your opinion on adoption by same-sex couples isn't supported by social science.
Should infertile heterosexual couples be permitted to marry and adopt children? Their relationships are also "destined to be sterile."

Not true; the NOAA says global average temperature is rising: http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/indicators/

The people in the kitchen locked themselves to fixed structures; they were tear-gassed and are being arrested.
According to the Livestream, at least 200 people remain and they are being arrested.
