The argument isn't that women aren't strong enough it's that they aren't encouraged to use that strength to get into the sciences, seesh. Its worth noting that women successfully entered and became the majority in a fair amount of male dominated fields when sexism was far more pervasive. So why aren't women repeating history? Could it be as a whole it's thought the sciences aren't worth breaking into? So how to increase desire? I'd think quotas would create a generation of male scientists who'd default to looking at their female colleagues as unworthy. Even if this evens up the field is it worth several generations thinking there's objective proof women can't do science because otherwise why would they need government help? I personally rather focus solely on encouraging females to desire the sciences so that they can handle whatever sexism remains in the field, and lessen any male prejudices by showing an increasing amount of equally competent women.
If I may stretch the job analogy a bit, how many people choose to be their own boss? In both cases, not a lot. One can choose to not use Flash (Your job/bank demands it? Get another job/bank.), and course use a more open video card.
I was under the impression the protests were mostly about worries that U.S beef safety regulations were insufficient. Since if memory serves that was the reason why beef trade with the U.S was halted in the first place.
I can almost believe that in his deathbed Thompson will admit he REALLY loved video games, and playing a popular fool was an ultimate sacrifice to prevent a replay of the comic book censorship... Well ALMOST.
Someone else mentioned it, modding up another identical post is rather pointless no? I'd personally rather mod up some guy who points out a grammar error (and I'd never do that either).
There are ads that are 30 seconds though... Also, I seem to be getting a whole lot of ads for feminine products. For god sakes I'm watching Babylon 5! Methinks they should consider the gender demographics for that fanbase.
Awesome bar is fine, I just wish it didn't start a search with just ONE letter. That means that typing "c" gets me every single.com site I've been to, and slows down my (rather crappy) machine for a few seconds. It'll be great if I could set the default to don't search until 2 or more letters are typed.
Eh, person who marked this troll was an ass. AC basically told Gewalt "toughen up God's testing you," it's the whole point of Job's story. Saying shit like that aint considered nice amongst the Christians let alone/. where most are secular.
On the other hand if soldiers can't be bothered to protest a dubious invasion when they're asked to make the ultimate sacrifice, then there's depressingly small hope for civilians to care about anything no matter how serious.
An ISO loader doesn't sound very useful considering how many if not most Wii games would be too big to fit inside SD cards. One wonders if this hack would theoredically make it possible to play games from DVDRs aka. "backup" games. If you don't want to answer since my question is somewhat supporting piracy I totally understad (though if it means anything I don't have, or desire a WII).
I think a greater concern would be: how can a suicidal person be trusted to do his/her best on the mission instead of nihilistically slacking off and awaiting the inevitable?
Skepticism isn't just being stubborn, it's all about how and why you're stubborn. The reasons one doubts xyz is what defines a skeptic from say a obstinate Scientologist who refuses to accept his/her faith as irrational, to a person who thinks theory xyz needs more research data. This isn't philosophical finery, just common usage of the word.
"In philosophy, skepticism refers more specifically to any one of several propositions. These include propositions about
1. an inquiry
2. the limitations of knowledge,
3. a method of obtaining knowledge through systematic doubt and continual testing,
4. the arbitrariness, relativity, or subjectivity of moral values,
5. a method of intellectual caution and suspended judgment,"
Huh... poor me I never had a gay mentor teach me to act campy! Ah well... guess I'll forever be just the guy who gives not recieves.
Hmm... Or, You've some odd notions of gender, and sex. Gay penises don't curl and go vagina on us, and well most women DON'T like it up the butt.
On a perhaps more serious note, what on earth makes you think gays need to learn how to act properly? It's a gender preference, NOT a 12 step training program...
Incidentally, what would become of bisexuals, and lesbians?
How can one be objective about how enjoyable a game is? A reviewer IS supposed to mix somewhat "objective" values like graphics, and ultimately note how much THEY liked playing the game. How exactly would one write an objective (something that is always true irrelevant to humans views) review anyways?
In theory it'll make it easier to ID people if they cause a scene during the games. If someone causes a scene and gets away, instead of trying to ID their face without any leads (execept he/she looked like ethnicity x) they can just search the Olympic database. Course it does nothing for basic terrorism where one acts quickly w/o caring about the consequences, but China doesn't have much trouble in that area.

You mean have a preprogrammed goal (whether it's code or life experience) that it tries to reach no matter what? I think we kind of got that...

Why in blazes are people with high security clearences allowing any outside access to their components?

Hmmm? GetRight and co. were like 1-5 MB. 10-30 mins of downloading wasn't THAT bad was it? Better than losing 1-3 hours of file xyz...
Ah, spoken like someone's who's never lost a loved one or large sums of cash through human maliciousness, or been sexually assulted.

Course the obvious counter argument is, what if the makeup woman survived, but ended up killing a perfectly smart driver instead?

What, ya think most books are high intellectual stuff? They're nothing but mindless entertainment.
Because they could be labled CP sex offenders.

It seems to me that most folks here are discussing the skepticism used in philosophy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skepticism

I recall reading about the devs cheating, but how did the players themselves cheat?

Ah, I remember seeing this when I rather stupidly removed DirectX with xplite.
