No Popper attempted to resolve the problem of induction, most famously put forward my Hume, by trying to absolve science of induction entirely with a method that relies on deductive reasoning - thereby allowing progress through accumulation on a rational basis. And don't think Popper had the final word.

I'm a Philosophy student and I think I can speak with a certain degree of authority when I say that Ayn Rand isn't someone you seriously cite in academic philosophy. She just isn't credible - and I'm not talking in terms of political disagreement - her arguments on topics of philosophical import just aren't very good. I wasn't too happy with everything that was written before for Rand, such as your rather shallow evaluation of Feyerabend and your flippant remarks about epistemology which clearly demonstrate you have no idea what your are talking about, but second I hit "Ayn Rand" I just stopped reading.

Not too much to ask for a journal article from a reputable journal or an article from well know science print.

Yes, but it was designed with applications in defence and research, not for general consumer use. Government, particularly our intelligence agencies, now recognises how pervasive a communication medium the internet is and will become, so an opportunity to make the game easier for them is one they will likely not miss.

In arch they use the gnome defaults. So if you install gnome nautilus is in this "Spatial" mode, which renders nautilus completely useless. It is easy to change it to the browser mode that you might be used to as default in ubuntu or suse, but that doesn't justify it being the default. I'm glad the developers have finally realised what idiots they have been and have changed it. Not that it matters much to me as I use pcmanfm.

I sincerely hope you are kidding.

The question was never if he would be tired, but where. He can be tried in the UK and serve his sentence in a low security UK prison. In the UK it is likely he would receive the sentence you described, and that is what his supporters want. However, in the US they want to make an example of him, and are pursuing a sentence ranging from 10 to 60 years in a high security prison system known for their poor medical support, particularly in metal support, and that would clearly not be dangerous for someone of his disposition (suicide). In addition, it is likely he will spend significant time just waiting for a trial in the US's overburden criminal courts. All for an episode in which the only real damage was to the US government's pride.

I was about to say this. I suppose it is an understandable mistake as the new UK Supreme Court only opens tomorrow. Can an editor please amend this? It's just wrong. I suppose it is unintentionally funny as one main area of debate around this case is the imposition of the US authorities, and the one-sidedness of the current extradition treaty between the US and UK. There are strong feeling in the UK that the so called "Special Relationship" between the US and UK has no real benefits for the UK, and that the terms of the relationship are entirely dictated by the US. As such then mistaken assumption that the US supreme court is the highest authority in a UK case is quite fitting in this context.

Can someone explain to me why this was modded insightful on slashdot?
