By your logic you're saying that you trust blindly in the theoretical findings of someone else. Isn't that a little hypocritical?
I am not a scientist. I look at the way scientists discuss things and openly discuss things in peer reviewed journals. The creation side has absolutely no logic. "If people believe in evolution there will be no morals and every one will fight selfishly". Go look at the biology department of your local univ. Are these profs selling grades for money/drugs/sex? Are they embezzling department funds left right and center? Are they stealing credit from one another and refuse cite the previous work their research is built upon? But these guys are the ones who believe in evolution. Go look at the Churches. Look at their scandals. More priests have embezzled money, committed sins of lust and knowingly told lies than biology profs.
If this is a troll, it must be a kick-ass troll...
I think parent poster should be getting insightful instead; talking about not trusting blindly; even if it is science...
It's only with an open mind, more options can be found. Remember; there used to be science about the earth being flat ages ago.
"not trusting it blind, even if it is science", "open mind", "science used to be wrong" etc are expressions and phrases very heavily overused by creationists. He gives the game away by saying things like, "I used to be an Atheist", "science wants simple answers", "Science is as irrational as Wahhabism". It is very difficult to tell a troll from a true believer in Creationism. If Creationist walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, let us just call him a duck and be done with it.
I'm getting my PhD in statistics, and I've taken several courses in genetics -- enough to know that all theories in genetics are wrong.... I used to be an atheist, but I've come to the conclusion that science is just as irrational as Wahabbism.... Science wants simple explanations, yet the world isn't simple; it is inherently an exercise in circular logic.
You sound like that idiot (Jonathan Wells?) sponsored by Reverend Moon to get a Ph D in biology so that he can destroy the Theory of Evolution from inside.
The hero's position look remarkably like that of a belly gunner of a B-17. The UI should consist of two grids of 4 squares by 4 squares projected and rotated about. And the enemy imperial fighters should appear in a jerky 2D cartoons seen in space invader. The gun barrels firing laser should recoil like 15inch naval guns firing one ton projectiles. That is the coolest UI evar!
"Microsoft will release its emergency patch for Internet Explorer on Thursday, the company said as it also admitted that attacks can be hidden inside rigged Office documents. '
Now to be 100% compatible with Microsoft Office, the OpenOffice developers have to work day and night to get this bug/hole/exploit to work exactly the same way in OpenOffice too. I have heard OpenOffice people bitch and moan, "Microsoft keeps changing file formats and APIs deliberately forcing us to do so much of work catching up", now I sympathize. I understand how difficult it would be to code up a gaping security hole that works exactly like it does in the De-Facto Standard.
That brings up another issue. The ISO committee now has to redo the standards to allow this exploit into the OOXML-is-standard-too document. But fortunately the 6000 page standard definition was already in the form of a doc file with this specially crafted backdoor in place. So Microsoft was able to step in, do the modification needed, and set the flags to erase all evidence of the edit and exit. The committee chairman Soldou Tothem expressed his gratitude to Microsoft and complimented their foresight in incorporating such back doors into the standards document.
The Muslim and Hindu soldiers of the British Raj rose up in mutiny because lard was used to lubricate the cartridges. Pig fat is haram for Muslims. All animal fats were haram for Hindus.
You will never be able to review the source code of your windows OS.
All you have to be is Chinese Government. That is all. You think the Google hack was found by relentless probing of defenses of the WinOS? Or did they have to just grep through the WinOS source code for things like strcpy()?

If the scientists are coming up with such dull scenarios, how can they motivate the youngsters into science?
It is well known that when rebels jump into hyperspace to escape the pursuing imperial battle cruisers, they might pop out in an asteroid belt. But most people think it is always possible to negotiate the craft around it and escape. Such false notions are strengthened by reports of more manuevrable craft deliberately entering asteroid belts to escape pursuit. But they don't always succeed and they might actually collide with an asteroid. The danger has always been there.
Also there is an even more exciting possibility of cave dwelling gigantic worms that live in these asteroids might once in a while actually close their mouths well in time to trap the unwary spacecraft and digest the contents. The by products of such digestion are usually ejected with high velocity and can be seen for millions of miles. True Story.

The Arab nationas bought US Bonds. And they provided value and stability. In the Bond market US has played by a very strict set of rules, and no matter what the political turmoil or whatever is going on, US Treasury has been very fair to them. The ministers are actually shocked that they could mouth off USA so badly and have very tough acrimonious talks with the ambassadors and play hard ball. But the interest payments on the coupons arrived on the dot. Never any doubt or linkage between the two. This is the kind of credibility that is very difficult to build in the international arena. There is not a single non Western government that is trusted by the Arabs, Indians, Chinese, Communist bloc, and the third world.
To do that other countries must trust China. Despite all the hatred for the Great Satan vocalized by the Arab nations and leaders, they know USA has played by a strict set of rules and has never defaulted on its loans. The track record of China is short, and its political leaders and its system does not have the credibility yet. With its huge army and an overland connection to their oil fields to China, these oil produces are scared of China. They won't switch to renmembi anytime soon. Euro? May be. There is a growing islamic population in Europe and they might think, demographically they might be in charge of Euro in some 30 years.
Come on, the FBI agent simply went to images.google.com and entered "osama bin laden now" and hit "I am feeling lucky". How could he know that he should not have been feeling lucky that day? Blame google, not the agent.
Yes, you are correct in saying that noreaction+bomb is exceedingly unlikely. But the 24hour news channels run such exceedingly unlikely events repeatedly on a loop and make us see it again and again and again. Our human brain has not evolved to handle such exposure to repeated graphic imagery of mayhem. The way brain evolved to remember collective traumatic events are by listening to the old sage, the memory keeper of the tribe reciting it over camp fire. Suddenly we are overloading the brains with stunningly graphic visual imagery of mayhem and destruction by terrorists in saturation coverage. Each exposure to the graphic image strengthens to memory of that connection and eventually people think it is more probable than it really is.
What kind of people end up as school vice principals? People who are extremely risk averse who choose career path where safety and job security is preferred. These are not the kind of people who would make a risky move in their life. This is the best you can expect from people who make such career choice.
Ironically while flying out of KMCI on my way to Iraq for the Air Force I had to go through the extra security screening. Mind you I'm in full military uniform, desert BDUs, boots, boonie hat, M4 in tow sure enough though I had to take off my boots and all metal objects and get the wand ran over me and extra check through my carry on. Let's ignore the fact that I'm carrying a rifle onboard!
Common sense sometimes does not apply.
In the case of the elderly lady I see nothing whatsoever wrong with her getting the same screening as everyone else. Terrorists will use whatever they can to exploit a weakness; that could be a handicapped person, the elderly and children.
Stop the world, it has gone mad, I want to get off.
Let us say it was really bomb. Then the very same media would be all over the school officials, "What? There was this bottle! with wires inside! And electronics! And the clueless vice principal dismissed it as harmless. When is he going to learn that Al Queda is constantly probing our defenses. The terrorists know every trick in the book and know that the best way to smuggle a bomb into a school is to disguise it as a science project. Now the bomb has killed 200 school children. Some heads better roll, or else!". And there is always a steady supply of talking head Monday-morning-quarterbacking security experts lecturing us on how to handle it and how everything is serious and there is a terrorist hiding behind every tree and every garbage can has a bomb in it.
Yes, in a saner world, where most parties are responsible this would not have been been blown this big. But with the vitiated atmosphere and media constantly looking for flames to fan, the school officials decided, "OK either way they are going to get me. At least let me take the path where I look ridiculous but keep my job."
For servers, encrypt the disk, and keep the key in an USB drive always plugged into the server. If a disk breaks, I remove the disk, and send it for warranty replacement without worrying about the data.
For laptops, I use Ubuntu's disk encryption. It's even better there as laptops usually don't have RAID, and may break for multiple reasons that I can't personally fix.
Funny, you did not consider not downloading and storing porn in your hard disks.
