You can't seriously investigate intelligent design, it's not science. Any sane university should run anyone who thinks it is out on a rail.

No, those are different species by at least most of the definitions of the word.

Dude, that's the benefit of being a scientist. You get to wear Cosby sweaters or Hawaiian shirts and it's not only socially acceptable it's almost required.

To require no maintenance whatsoever, because there's nothing worse than a car that doesn't work or has issues that make you unsure about driving where you want to go.

Seriously, I could've guessed this after reading this
http://www.amazon.com/Watching-English-Hidden-Rules-Behaviour/dp/0340818867
This is essentially a birdwatching guide fort the English, which the author finds horrifying, but there it is.

For somebody falling to the ground clutching their leg long enough to get a card thrown?

"My employees have two rules to follow: 1. Get the job done. 2. Don't embarrass the company."

Generally a good thing, but this indicates that you're not in one of the "highly regulated" industries to which the article refers. It's a very different game.

Being Hungarian, I find 'weem' most natural.

You would need a powerful laser to burn off surface of space junk but that's no problem, we've got cutting laser that have been able to do that for decades. It's the focus that's the issue, poor focus wastes a lot of power so you need more brute force light to compensate. Once you've got something like that in place though there's no problem. The vapour given off by rapidly heated space junk is just gas, by the time it cools down enough to act like a solid again it's too spread out to crystallise - no threat to anything. The propulsive effect you get isn't great, but not so tiny that it isn't worth doing, particularly for junk in low orbits that only need a tiny nudge to skim atmosphere.

Actually I'd be a little surprised if the nucleotides were different, current studies seem to suggest that the nucleotides had selective pressure. Here's a video that summarizes some current work on abiogenesis by Dr. Jack Szostak. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6QYDdgP9eg

"So what you do is weave it into a circle of mats- which are fed into an old-fashioned wringer-washer on the deck of a tanker- and deployed off starboard aft and recovered port aft....just sail it around in circles, using the friction of the wringers to reel in and redeploy the circle of matts.(sic)"

Combine this with a social network campaign to "Save the Coasts!" that collects human hair on a massive scale. Just think! It would be "cool" to be bald! A statement of commitment to the environment! ...and it'd give millions of Twitter users something to actually tweet about.

Well...maybe not.

Yes it means that I can play h.264 video on a Linux distro without jumping through hoops.

Honestly just use Debian if you really don't like it.
Canonical had three choices.
1. Not include it and cause new users problems. Maybe big enough problems that they stop using Linux
2. Just include it anyway and face a long nasty court battle.
3. Pay for it and include it.
Since they already offer Flash and the none GPL video drivers so this not being GPL is no big deal.

1. The student can not turn on the Web cam only the school can.
2. It is still spying and illegal to remotely turn on a recording device and then later recover the data from the device. You know like planting say a tape-recorder in a conference room.
3. They reviews the pictures they got from spying.
4. It seems that they told the student but no where did I see that they informed the parents.
5. What proof do you have that the picture was on the local drive and sent over the net? Even if it was it just doesn't matter.
6. YOU DON"T FREAKING NEED A WEB CAM TO TRACK A LAPTOP! All they need to know was that it was accessing the net from a location that wasn't the school!
Frankly WHAT IS DUMB AS A BOX OF ROCKS is if they really didn't want the laptops to work off campus they could have had it lock if they used it off the school network if it was not insured!

Even if everything you say is right so?
They illegally spied on the kid. Jail time.

Scene from one of the funniest movies ever:

[Jason is being menaced by a huge monster made of rocks.]
Tommy Webber: Go for the eyes, like in episode 22!
Jason Nesmith: It doesn't have any eyes!
Tommy Webber: Well, then, go for the throat or something. Its vulnerable spots!
Jason Nesmith: It's a rock! It doesn't have any vulnerable spots!
Guy Fleegman: I know! You'll need to make a weapon. Look around; can you construct some sort of rudimentary lathe?

To put it into perspective, the last few genre launches were probably FaceBall 2000, Street Fighter II, Super Mario 64, and Parappa the Rapper. Have there been any genre launches in the past decade?
