I disagree. Civilians can read what they choose. The military could stop it. They have the weapons to do so if they choose. They have not. In a very structured and disciplined environment such sacrifices are to be expected. The military has its own courts and no draft is in effect. I am normally very adamant about free speech issues and I have contributed to organizations that promote these views but the military should be granted some latitude.

I agree that the phrase "survival of the fittest" is too often misinterpreted. If we accept the observations of Darwin and others, "fitness" must mean the successfulness in the perpetuation of a species (and those traits that result in successful perpetuation). In that sense fruit flies, ants and bacteria are far more fit than man.

A full body periodic table might work.

I had a three legged cat. It lost one of its front legs. Whenever it used the litter box it couldn't really bury its business but it did waive its nub around in the air.

Agreed. IE probably has the most consistent (and most available) documentation. Since I often use client side JS I usually start with FF. Everything should be tested in FF and IE. You may also want to be aware of cellphone users. If presentation is that critical write separate scripts server side for each browser. If not, you may get away with much less scripting.

In some small towns it is doubtful whether such capitalistic niceties exist to the context that political pressure from politicians and or aversion by local newspapers to on-line competition may exist. This presure may not only be specific to domain names. If such political pressure or threats of of such presure is exerted i.e. disturbing the peace or other trumped up information from the internet haves to those familiar to the process of on-line publishing is utilized. This becomes significant where there is a large relative population internet have-nots. I think and hope this may change as the internet becomes more homogenous. If politicians, newspapers, banks, judges etc. in a small town or rural area assume and actually believe they are the internet little can be done (at least within that rural area). It will be interesting to see how long the guy in the story actually does keep the domain name.

There are many claims being made about the new drink but does it give you wings?

That theory (whatever it may have been called if it ever formally was) has been largly discounted by many. Dark matter is surmised to exist because spiral galaxies seem to spin faster along their outer edge than would be expected were extra mass not there. On the other hand were there black holes along the outer edge of those galaxies one would expect to observe visible orbiting bodies around them.

Not only that... If everything online that causes me to raise an eyebrow is a purchase I am already broke.

The ear mouse is not good example of genetic manipulation as it may appear. The mouse was used as a support structure and a source of blood supply to grow the ear from human cartilage.

Indeed, even the Romans seemed somewhat squeamish with the concept of hell (or the concept that one could return from hell). The Gospel of Nicodemus was banned by the Council of Nicea on the grounds that it must be a forgery by early Christians to convert Pagans. It is full of references to hell. In it Jesus goes to hell and rescues various saints and Biblical characters deemed worthy to escape. There also seem to be allusions to the fact that He may one day return to rescue everyone there.

Back in my Sunday school days (before I became of age to make such decisions) it was explained that proof of hell was Luke 16:24 -

I think the writing was before the Council of Nicea but still seems very much like the Star Trek God.

What about an HP reference?

Plastics.

But He did fly away and promise to come back later. Wait and see!
