And they get upset if a new requirement is added later.
Not us Agile programmers. We don't get upset if a new requirement is added, we expect it, and then we give you an estimate for how much longer the project will take.
We share the cost of military, police, travel, environmental protections, parks, fire and emergency services, medical services, governance, schools, utilities, and methods of information dissemination (postal services, libraries). Oh, and public defenders.
Exactly, if all of those services suddenly disappeared overnight we would find ourselves invaded, crime ridden, diseased, uneducated, and on fire. It's hard for people living in this day and age to fully appreciate just how important our public services are and why they need to be protected.
The evidence that Jesus was a real person is pretty strong. The evidence for anything beyond that is nonexistent. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus#Mythical_view
Could you point me to said evidence? The link you posted just doesn't cut it.
...a few deaf parents who are stuck in their ways and want to sign with their children...
Sorry, this should read "...a few deaf parents who are stuck in their ways and ONLY want to sign with their children...". Naturally, in Ontario we prefer that hard of hearing children of deaf parents are bilingual, so that they can communicate with their parents and with the rest of society =)
Science never has everything figured out. You should be skeptical of science. But most arguments I've seen against global warming have nothing to do with healthy skepticism; they generally use made up evidence or faulty reasoning. In any case, we will need to reduce carbon dioxide emissions no matter what, because fossil fuels will not last forever. The only question is how quickly should we reduce them. Personally, I think it makes sense to reduce fossil fuel now use simply to reduce demand and avoid energy prices spiraling out of control...
Not to mention that burning petroleum is such a terrible waste since it's far better used to create things like plastics, fertilizers,and pharmaceuticals.
Biology is the only science in which multiplication means the same thing as division.
