All precedents are abused. So what. When they are abused, litigate them. As soon as some idiot cops somewhere says that Fidos "woof" is a nod of approval to enter, that suspect will take it to court, and it will be litigated.
There's nothing to litigate. The Supreme Court has ruled. There is no higher court to take it to,
I've never really understood the point of sporting video games. If you're playing a game, why wouldn't you fly a spaceship or kill aliens or build a railway or raid tombs or do something that you couldn't otherwise do in real life? Why play a soccer video game when you can just go outside and play soccer? (Exceptions, of course, for those people with physical disabilities. If you like soccer and don't have use of your legs I suppose it makes sense, but I also assume this is a small minority of players.)
Why play chess when you can join the army......
What is this "real love" thing people keep talking about ? Does it resemble sex ?
Like we know what either of those things looks like.
NETCRAFT IS DEAD!
and no one is left to confirm it.
After all, it's the first step of automating management, and replacing all that management types with a bunch of shell scripts.
And who gets to write those shell-scripts in the end? Who? Exactly, we, the techies.
So it may be a slight inconvenience for a time, but in the end we will only have to do what the shell scripts we wrote ourselves are telling us to do. Sounds pretty much like paradise to me.
Yes but will those shell scripts be written with vi or emacs?
me dreaming of sitting at a desk coding, but the actual visuals are of Vim and nothing else.
Ah, so obviously it was a nightmare
No need to turn this into a Vim vs Emacs debate.
Yes...yes there is.
It's a game, a big-budget currently-supported game, not made by Microsoft or Sony, that you can play on Linux PCs (not consoles)...
I must be imagining the copy of Team Fortress 2 that came in my copy of The Orange Box for the PS3. And yes, I know that the PS3 version is hatless, but it's got the same gameplay.
.....but hats ARE the gameplay,
I have a question for the readers with professional qualifications (ie - PhD's):
Is Bill Nye qualified?
His Wikipedia article lists him as a scientist. He has no advanced degree, only a BS in Mechanical Engineering from Cornell. He has a couple of patents, including one for ballet pointe shoes, and served as "honorary professor" for five years.
Every time the "can amateurs do real science" question comes up, the response is always a resounding NO! from the professional readers of this site. You can't do real science without an advanced degree, institutional funding, and collaboration.
In particular, he doesn't have a degree in evolutionary biology. He's an entertainer.
Does he qualify as "gentleman scientist"?
Is he the right person as spokesman for science in this debate?
(I applaud Bill Nye's contributions to science and education, and think he's eminently qualified. I just wanted to hear what the professionals think of his status as a scientist.)
That's interesting so Ham actually has more related schooling with his BA in Applied Science, with an emphasis in Environmental Biology
People are frightened by what they can't control, can't predict, and don't understand. That's why people invented gods to help explain unpredictable weather and other disasters. It works that way with people too. People want other people to be predictable, controllable, and understandable.
In which religion can you control or even fully understand your god?
Naturalism lends itself better to the idea that the universe is understandable and controllable are you sure we didn't invent it?
You know what is one of the traits I like least in a person? When they assume that it's everyone else who is ignorant, rather than check their facts.
Yes, one meaning of converse - apparently the only one you know - is to take part in a conversation. However, there is another meaning which has a similar meaning to inverse and obverse.
converse adj (prenominal) reversed; opposite; contrary n something that is opposite or contrary a categorical proposition obtained from another by the transposition of subject and predicate, as no bad man is bald from no bald man is bad Etymology: 16th Century: from Latin conversus turned around; see
So basically, your post is laden with iron.
. Such disdain. Wow.
Very irony in fact.........?
With your bare hands?!?
