Only in the US is the American Revolution not called "The Colonial Inssurection".
If they called it that in my daugters' school, they would say "Hvad snakker du om, mand?"
Or put another way: Only in the Uk would the American Revolution be called "a colonial insurrection". Even then you might get confused as to which colonial insurrection is meant.
What's important is can someone reason their own argument and then go out and find sources that support that belief. Too often, opinions and papers are written the other way around.
God forbid that someone should form an opinion based on understanding the subject?
Aristotle, is that you?
Critical Thinking is the skill missing from colleges. It was missing before wikipedia. Critical Thinking is notoriously hard to teach. Nothing new there.
With Wikipedia poor source material has become much more available. Unfortunately good source material has not become as much more available, so it is swamped.
Seriously, it's a race between 'science' and 'krooks', and although both have gained ground with the web, the krooks have gained more.
All they have to do is quote libelous statements from their sources rather than say them directly. Same effect, zero accountability. How else were they able to legally lie about Iraq's (non)connection with Al-Qaeda?
I'm curios. What exactly do you imagine would have happen if Saddam had sued?
Would it have made a difference if the lies had been illegal?
Superconductors could also potentially solve our energy storage dilemma. Chemical batteries? Flywheels? How quaint.
When we 'fill' up our brand new super conducting storage coils, we will find that magnetic forces try to tear them apart.
That is if super conduction doesn't just break down because of the magnetic field strength.)
We can only fill them up until the containing vessel breaks - essentially limiting us to storing at most the same energy as we could in chemical bonds.
So -> Back to flywheels. (Better flywheels with magnetic bearings, but still.)

In Denmark (where I live) all digi-tv antennas in sold in shops are vhf (very high freqency) antennas. Those depicted are uhf (ultra high frequency) antennas.
Round here swedish tv disappeared with the introduction of digi-tv. Now I has a good guess as to why and can try to fix it, thank you.
Respectfully, it is not MY definition. The rancor, and irrationality in this thread is rather surprising to me. People may attack me by modding me down, which will be corrected over time by the meta mods, but still. It is not easy to tell people that you think they are silly, without making it sound like a personal attack. Still, you have my sincere apologies for any rancor you may have perceived. (Irrationality I will not apologize for. There's nothing wrong with a bit of irrationality!)
In any case, I used the definition directly from the online dictionaries. It's still silly since it rules out any telepathy. Even the real 'telepathy' that is mirror neurons in action.
A silly definition is a silly definition no matter how many use it.
Risk is part and parcel of all finance, and is normally reflected in the interest rate.
At 10% interest my young tree is worth ~ $5e-09 for every dollar it might sell it for 200 years hence. Raising interest to account for greater risk just lowers that number, it doesn't make it magically dispear. There is a quantitive difference not a qualitive difference.
If your point is that I could have used my time and my land better from an economic standpoint you are right though. But now I can call myself "forest owner", others in the future might assign similar value to calling themselves "interstellar traders".
How do they know the identity of who they're responding to? This is a minor sticking point, perhaps. I have not seen the site itself but I would imagine things like officer name and badge # would be included. After that, the details of the complaint would likely spark a few memories.
The mere possibility that someone may be fishing for privileged information should be enough to shut up the officers.
Surely, they can only respond if they are certain that they will not inadvertently reveal privileged information?
Telepathy, from the Greek tele meaning "distant" and patheia meaning "to be affected by" describes the purported transfer of information on thoughts or feelings between individuals by means other than the five classical senses
Now, I have a bit of land where I have planted a small forrest (3000 m - a very small forrest).
Consider one my mighty oaks out there (barely taller than me at this point).
In 200 years time it will be mature and can at a price of p. But that means it can be sold "on the root" in 199 years time at a price of p(1-r), where r denotes interest.
Or in general in 200 - n years time at a price of p(1-r)^n. That is, it has a value today of p(1-r)^200
The point is (and I think it's akin to the point you were trying to make) that it matters not one whit whether I'll be alive when the tree is finally felled. My tree already has a value because of it's future value (to others).

That's just plain wrong.
And that includes your judgement, his judgement, and anybody else's judgement, include the sources they judge to be sound.
They'll all fail sooner or later

Perhaps some mod had a little trouble parsing it, just like I did:
"Wiki? What wiki?" I'm guessing wikipedia, but that's just guessing. GP doesn't indicate.

There are certainly animals that have electromagnetic senses. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electroreception
Note that the active electroreceptive animals could in principle communicate that way. (whether any does I don't know.)
Your definition of telepathy is silly.
Try this one (from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telepathy).

Just because his prior art has prior art doesn't mean it's not prior art.
It sounds a lot like a logical gate array to me. (In function, that is.)
Still, the physical size of it is very impressive.
It gets better.

As I understand it, there is little chance of recovering DNA traces in the tropics, too hot for presevation.
I was actually thinking of that as part of 'access'.
Rewriting by competent writers wouldn't make open access journals cheaper would it. :-)
They would have to understand what they're writing about, too, ruling out journalists. ;-)
