Yeah right. Try getting the Mormon church to take your name off their records. They really don't like doing that, and they rarely if ever do. Even when they say they have, you're still on a secret list they keep for the same fucked up reasons they baptize the dead. If corporations in America are considered legal persons, religions in America have the status of a fucking deity.

well, of course. anytime somebody takes a gap in knowledge and fills it with something containing even more gaps, it's just evidence that they want to believe in that something.

basically, combining a degree in one field with an unrelated field of a new (or rediscovered) interest is difficult, to say the least. I came to computer science from chemical engineering and have found that my degree is almost completely worthless, except that it got me into grad school. personally, the opportunity cost is worth the freedom to pick something i know i'll enjoy throughout my life. but the cost is substantial. I can only assume this would be analogous to your situation. you may be able to take what you've done in audio engineering and swing your way towards an entertainment area of computer science if that's what you want to do. I'm guessing you'll need to build up computer experience to persuade anybody that you're serious.

hahaha

since 9/11, there have been maybe a few dozen non-slow news days. something happened again in the middle east? that's weird. china is still making us their economic slaves? had no idea. people are going apeshit over some product that they'll laugh about in 2 years over how apeshit they went? news is always just more of the same. the most interesting thing to happen in the last month was some vet decided to open fire on a cop on a busy public street. cop was injured in the leg, blew the other guys brains out. all this was happening while i was on my way home from class. does it happen in several US cities every week? yes.

thanks science. always making advances after the point of usefulness has come and gone. Maybe my teeth are still in a bag somewhere....

This is going to make the author's sales look incredible. First printing sells out instantly... second printing? presumably the same. Until he's suddenly the best selling author of the year. I wish the military had this kind of interest in MY writing...

Suresh is a cool guy. I was at a colloquium he gave the other day. Wish I was taking one of his classes...

They're only slightly less clunky than that thing. And they don't require an internet connection.

You're totally right, as long as your point is that nazis used evolution as their reasoning. Not trolling either, just pointing out that the nazis were WRONG to try to help evolution along. The reason is that you can't possibly help evolution along. You would have to see the future, and you would have to see millions of years into the future, and along every different timeline created by every different combination of mutations in every species. Where would we be if the ridiculous little mouse hadn't out-survived the dinosaurs?

I would think that such heavy winds would produce enough energy to subsidize the cost of "more burly" turbines.
