All jokes aside, this is probably going to be a very useful tool for care of Austistic Spectrum Disorders. Getting used to human intimacy through training and gradual introductions.
I didn't state there wasn't a trail, I stated that an electronic, consolidated system makes the whole system of tracking citizens a heck of a lot easier.
It also makes us nice and easy to keep an eye on. All our activity now leaves a nice little easy to follow trail. Much nicer for the government to follow than before.
Well death of the author and all that, and it's an interesting idea, but I can't really see how this holds weight. It just seems as though the paper is reading far too much into this, and I'm saying this after just writing a paper on psychoanalysis..
Of course, miracles by their very nature cannot occur. If something 'miraculous' did occur, that violated the laws of nature/physics etc, then the laws would have to be changed to incorporate them. Therefore a miracle can never truly occur.
Depends if the sexual abstention was dealt with in a religious manner or not. If you're looking at it logically, then no sexual penetration = no babies, of course, which means purely statistically abstention will cause lower (i.e 0 ) unwanted pregnancies versus contraception. However, what we all know is by degrading condom use we are promoting the rise of std infection rates etc. Of course when religion is involved, then we get into muddy water:P
True, however physiological psychology is probably the more scientific of the sub-fields, the researchers i mentioned were, granted, in the field of social psychology.
That most of our scientific advances were made with experiments that would now be classified as cruel. Particularly psychological, Zimbardo et al, Harlowe et al etc etc. Not suggesting that these are morally fine, but we should be careful about criticizing experiments that have contributed to our understanding. On a different note however, the experiments mentioned don't seem to have contributed an awful lot:P
Er, won't wikiscanner just move the corporate/political vandals to home? This is leaving out the fact that wikipedia will never be seriously trusted due to it's open nature, to be taken seriously requires it to close off public access and to change to specialised, academic authorship - something that would corrupt it's mission.
Hm, don't you think this EU anti-trust venture is getting a tad out of hand now? I'm usually a fan of the eu, but it's getting to the point where it's stifling business' right to succeed, if they wish to help the start ups and the string of failed projects, then maybe cash would help?
Ever think of Microsoft, i hear they're all upstanding, clean living folks there.
You could always find out about working for a charity such as Oxfam etc, in their IT department, along with a decent salery you'll also be actually helping the world. Downside to this is that the sector is VERY competitive.
Sounds like a challenge to me.:-)Shame the world seems to be turning into place where freedom of choice in what we say, watch and do is being overturned "for our own good"
Upgrade your RAM firstly, to about 2gb, this should speed things up. The next thing to do would be to consider getting a faster cpu. Lastly make sure you get a nice and fast hdd:) always speeds up loading times.
Have a nice day.

The Sparrow. Seriously. It's one long bleak chapter after chapter.

As headlines go, this is into the 'warner bros cartoon' surreal territory. What's next? 'Lord British holds earth to ransom from his moon fortress!'

Well in England at least, we have a pretty good set of vineyards already thanks.
