Evolution in biology isn't just "change over time," but involves natural selection and fitness. Not just change, but change relative to a filter. I do get what you're saying though.

Mod up!

Mod parent up. That's what I was going to say.

God I hope this means we could be leaving behind those aspects of the american ideal of masculinity that I find most wearisome. I know i'm operating at the level of pop meta-science here, but god it would be nice.

I was IT for a while at CU Boulder, and they didn't use students there. I'm actually a grad student at OSU now, and just alerted the local Linux Users Group to this article. Maybe they'll chime in.

+1 informative. No, it's not "just the us's fault." but, yeah. it is also their (our) fault.

Sure, it's not perfect. But there is a GREAT DEAL of math on the great wiki. deep stuff. and that shit doesn't change real fast. It would be a hell of a fucking thing to have in ones pocket. I might give this a go.

Rob Knight? Is that you? It's Will!

The deal with that, for me, was that when the cops realized this guy was in his own house, they didn't just apologize and cut out. They hung around because this guy was understandably pissed. I've been pissed at cops often enough to imagine the scenario. Eventually the bastard cop was just telling the guy that he had to submit. That he could not remain angry and indignant. It is no crime to be pissed at a cop. But they don't like it.

The use of 2H + 0 = battery definitely seems more zen-correct than the things the word 'battery' refers to know. I want a cell and a panel for my laptop. This was my idea about 4 years ago, by the way. I also said "Cogito, ergo sum" when I was about 17 and tripping (didn't use those words, of course). I know, I know, "Who cares?" I do, damnit. I should be glad, I guess, to see my ideas come to fruition without my input, but I do feel kinda cheated. Guess I should quit thinking and act, eh?
