A. The study hasn't been published yet. This is a preview only. B. It's a psychological study and not sociological. That makes a significant difference as the question only relates to the generic meaning of science, the methodology - or some part of it, is trickery, swapping answer keys randomly, thus getting statistical data for keystrokes. C. A sociological approach would be more considered and break science down to various disciplines where I feel that results would be different. The study makes the assumption that science is hard coded physics (for example) and classifies female with liberal arts and so on. So far I can see a few problems with this and seems to fail in the testing design with a lack of understanding by the study's authors. The sort of thing I would like to see if there is a corollary between "Men hunt, women gather" and the disciplines of science. In my expanded family, I have 2 female scientists (organic chemistry) and 1 male - (medicinal chemistry). The 2 females became scientists because they couldn't become engineers which had the stamp of a male profession because it was physical work as well as mental. Holding test tubes over a Bunsen burner doesn't take much physical strength. Hmmm.. Maybe THAT has got something to do with it?
The best thing to do is let church be a church, and have civil issues outside it - like what happened in this case
Well written. I agree with you. Let it be. Many people find comfort in church and as a Roman Catholic (the Western Rite), I have more respect towards the Eastern Rite religions like orthodoxy because they are much more community oriented, they allow their priests to marry and generally are more traditional, closer to apostolic faith. As far as I'm concerned, we should all accept (therefore not deny) everyone's choice to follow and act with any belief system they wish, as long as it doesn't interfere with the choice of others.
That brings to mind if any church will condone and marry gay couples? That way you can get religious and civil registrations for marriages and deaths. I really don't know how important that is though. Maybe for some people.
but we don't seem to run an actual program as such.
Perhaps an interdisciplinary pov might be of help here. We do run programs based on hard wired (unconscious) programming. Principally it is self-preservation, from biological respiration to environmental choices. That's the core programming from which all other extensions spring from. Replication is group preservation, so is war for survival, hunting and gathering, society, friendship, love, art, recording of knowledge etc. The fact that AI is not concerned with that basic tenant is bemusing to me.
There has never been a benevolent godlike human in any culture without fault. That I postulate would be impossible. One approaching fallacy is that humans have free will without constraints. That is obviously not true and humans in their environment have finite responses for any real situation. They are no different to robots. We all operate within natural law. For humans to be other than that which they are would mean some kind of transformation and thought and philosophy has totally explored most of that for thousands of years, rehashed it countless times with pretty much no result, either in thought or reality. Philosophically, the origin of this was the Garden of Eden, the story of how humanity became separated from Godhead, or so they say. The end of this lies in the future. In the meantime, we create robots and give them intelligence because of some ingrained impulse? Personally that's why I became interested in computers and automata. A machine created by humans to do work that humans can do.
You can't experience the experience of others (paraphrase) J.D. Lang. OTOH when I read the OP, I immediately thought of 'Deep Thought' and a couple of philosophers who were too highly trained to be useful.
It goes way back to an old sci-fi short story. About a youngling with teddy bear who speaks to her (?) and controls her. Eventually she abandons it and is picked up by another child. I recognize elements of the plot in a few modern vids. It's hard to determine prior art as there were a few stories that were written on the same theme by different authors.
Congrats to you and Windows. I was more into Apple series and Macs at the time, but occasionally I was asked about IBM PCs and clones. I had to reinstall Win 3.1 from 3.5" disks - I think there were 11 of them (?) or it could be more. One of the disks had a fault and I found the.cab files for it, but no matter what I did, they would never fit on a blank. It was only after I got a cloned copy (bit for bit I presume), that it worked. So how did they cram those cab files in the first place? How did duplication work?
Classic! When I walked past the 'Kick this mob out' stack, I stopped and re-read it before I walked away, shaking my head. Until then, I always thought there would be some propriety in journalism. I was wrong and I will never forget that.
Senior phones are great, though the latest ones are 'feature' phones. The 2 that I bought worked on an old Nokia menu system, but had no arrow pad and a crap tiny colour screen. I recommend looking at the Huwaei G series if you can still get the non-feature version. Some have metal construction. Looks like a small blackberry and very tough.
BBC have a bad attitude thinking that they are untouchable with a holier than thou perspective. They encroach on anyone and anywhere. They are banned some countries because of this. It's not only that. They try to compare some mythical 'pseudo-victorian' ethic, claiming that if it doesn't fit their world view then there is something wrong with it, sensationalizing these made up issues and forcing their own political correctness upon the hapless audience. This GTA thingy is typical of their arrogance and I for one have a warm, glowing feeling about this action.
You are right - though in this court case, it's not the downloaders they are going after, but the uploaders. The ratio becomes immaterial as your bittorrent will seed as soon as you leech. Even though it may be 0.001% of the file, it is still regarded as seeding AND as it contributes towards the full 100% of the file, you are a 'sharer'. So I give all of Slashdot (for free) this bit of knowledge: http://www.bitthief.ethz.ch/ It's primitive but works as tested. Also PLEASE look at this as a nerd solution to a technical problem, i.e. using torrents for downloading only.
School property (like cameras/computers etc) are in use by students who in one way or another lease/rent the property as part of the school curriculumn. In some cases, additional fees are asked for by the school for certain subject resources (eg woodwork/cooking/art etc). As far as copyright is concerned, there needs to be specific written conditions on the use of school equipment. For example, are graphic arts product made on a computer by a student is the student's property because it is assessed as such.

For those in the TLR category, iiNET wants to charge DBC (Dallas Buyers Club LLC) $108,000 as expenses to filter and send customer info to them. There is a distinction that fines >$10 are for those who uploaded (seeded), so the fines maybe a lot more than $10 which is a guess anyway. How iiNET or how the capturing method — using German Maverick Eye technology can determine accurately the uploads for each transgressor is questionable. The court will review the initial letters to 'pirates' as speculative invoicing (per the USA) will not be tolerated. Also, settlement amounts will be based on personal circumstances of each uploader. This is truly a test case and will propably open up VPN as a preferred solution for the short term. Note the distinction between leechers and seeders.

The moment you leech, you begin to seed anyway.

Same as the other guy here. Your memory trumps mine.
I think you are thinking of the doll with a webcam a few years ago. Whatever happened to that?

You forgot the age old debate of post apocalyptic Vampires v Zombies.
Who wins out in the end?
Flying Vampire Zombies?

There are no penguins at or near the North Pole.
Kaspersky probably is in bed in some way with the Kremlin, it has nothing to do with the quotes you listed.
And those Russian honeypots taste like borsht and vodka.
