SIX days and on the seventh day he rested. Get it right:

"And on the seventh day God finished His work which He had made; and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had made."

I've lived in a few different cities and I've always lived downtown close to work and gotten around mostly by walking and never had a car. I find that while I can give good directions to pedestrians I can't give good directions to motorists who stop and ask. This happened all the time in the last place I lived which was a big city that had a densely packed core with lots of one way streets that curved and didn't make much sense.

When I want to get somewhere I just walk in that direction turning here and there as the lights let me. I don't notice that you can't turn left onto such and such street or even that such and such is one way or there are barriers to traffic at some point and you can't drive through.

If you're driving it's probably best to ask another motorist for directions, though that's not always possible.

Exactly. Regarding the dolphins, Geoffrey Pullum (Prof. Linguistics, U of Edinburgh) covered this here:

" 'The researchers found that individuals only responded to their own calls, by sounding their whistle back.'

Now, think about that. If you call out "Geoff Pullum!" in a crowded street, and I'm there within earshot, I'm likely to turn round and look at you. But what I am not likely to do is yell "Geoff Pullum!" back at you."

I've seen a couple academic articles in pdfs where copied text came out as jibberish. At the time I thought it was copy protected because when I examined the metadata I saw that dozens of proprietary fonts had been embedded.

If a font that escapes OCR is created so that it does not match ascii or unicode standards then I can see that it wouldn't be machine readable, at least until someone works out the mapping manually. However, the document wouldn't be searchable and would be pretty much an image.

Um, that would be Osama that they haven't found. I think they know where Obama is.

more like "beloved son".

Seriously, it's not either or. I might as well say that I'm not going to work for women's rights or minority rights until all the problems of the straight white man are solved. There is nothing about animal suffering that is great for humanity. I think that granting rights to certain primates is problematic, but not in the same way you do. I think it's a problem to give animals rights based on their likeness to us on non-relevant criteria. The only thing that matters is their sentience. See http://garyfrancione.blogspot.com/2006/12/great-ap e-project-not-so-great.html for an animal rights critique of these projects.
