with my brand new Thinkpad W500, a very good machine otherwise. The bigger headache for me was fixing an ATI graphics driver that was giving me random BSODs with the message "ati2dvag.dll stuck in infinite loop". I had to manually update the driver from the ATI website following some instructions I found by googling. So far, so good. Now I have to have to keep reading to find out if I can get rid of the adware, which I've so far seen pop up only once. Annoying. Oh, also the keyboard is not quite as solid as it was on the T43 I upgraded from, but I think I'll get used to it.
I'm on a 60GB laptop too, and I've only got 3GB of free space left. Fortunately, a new 160GB laptop is here to replace this one, but I wish it were 250GB or more.
I don't know, but then, why should civil rights be considered any different than "non-civil" rights? It's just a convenient term that categorizes a subset of rights that have their own particular difficulties and applications, I suppose.

Are you not familiar with the Tom Lehrer song from many years ago naming all the elements on the periodic table, to the tune of the Major-General's song from The Pirates of Penzance by Gilbert and Sullivan? It's a hoot, especially for chemistry geeks. I heard it first (actually, only) on Dr. Demento's radio show.
I wouldn't have said this new element is unnamed, though. I'm sure it's got a pre-made name like ununununnium or the like.
IIRC, in that book he makes an interesting claim about the understanding of physicians in regard to Bayesian probabilities in particular. In fact, I made a PowerPoint slide about it to teach co-workers about it, so I still have the example available:
1% of women at age forty who have routine breast cancer screening actually have breast cancer. 80% of women with breast cancer will have a positive mammogram. 10% of women who dont have breast cancer will get a false positive mammogram.
Ask MDs "A woman age 40 has a positive mammogram. What is the probability that she really has breast cancer?"
Most of them say something like 80%, maybe 70%.
Actually, it is MUCH lower. Imagine 1000 women get screened. 1% (= 10) of the 1000 actually have cancer. Of these ten, eight (80%) have positive mammograms. The other 990 dont have cancer but 10% of them (= 99) get positive mammograms. In total, 107 (8 + 99) have positive mammograms, but only eight are real. So, given a positive mammogram, 8/107 (=7.48% ) actually have cancer.
I made a (small, non-random) sample of age and UID a while back when this topic came up, and saw no correlation with age. I can't imagine a mechanism whereby UID would correlate with intelligence and if it doesn't correlate with age, why would it correlate with maturity?
Mordecai had a cousin named Hadassah, whom he had brought up because she had neither father nor mother. This girl, who was also known as Esther, was lovely in form and features, and Mordecai had taken her as his own daughter when her father and mother died.
Esther 2:17
Now the king was attracted to Esther more than to any of the other women, and she won his favor and approval more than any of the other virgins. So he set a royal crown on her head and made her queen instead of Vashti.

Probably none.
If you wanted to say it like the movie, you'd just say "Soylent Clock IS people." (of course with the anguished Charlton Heston voice)

It certainly can and has meant that, certainly it did for Gandhi and Nelson Mandela.
Yeah, it's the IFs that I'm having a hard time with, especially the second one.
Why?
Location is not same as identity. ;-)

Sorry, I missed that post, as it was at -1.
Never mind.
Maybe someone who didn't know about the song became informed.
Yeah, especially since it's NOT "Mad Bovine Disease", and "Feline Scratch Fever"!

When I used to live in Seattle it was an ABC station. I didn't even know CNN had broadcast stations. What the hey?
Maybe it's like that bumper sticker saying: Insanity is hereditary - you get it from your kids!

Hmmm...maybe I was wrong...negative correlation?
Just kidding!

See my chart here.
Length or magnitude of UID# does not correlate with either age, intelligence or maturity, only length of time since the registration on /.
Or, if you can afford his speaking fee, you could ask this guy.

Joshua would be pretty cool. Sending in spies to a prostitute's house, blasting horns and tearing down the walls of Jericho, going in to pillage, etc.
Judges would be a pretty nasty game what with cutting up that woman who was gang-raped and sending her parts all over Israel and what not.
Wir brauchen kein Bikinis, aber die Mädchen brauchen Bikinis. Einige Mädchen brauchen einteilig Badeanzuge. Das war nicht komisch.
