Care to name a similar specific, quantifiable, falsifiable prediction from the theory of evolution? Link Pay special attention to the section "Some Statistics of Incongruent Phylogenetic Trees" for detailed, quant

I met your cousin when I was going south from Alberta -- she kept saying, "Ja, you betcha". I think her name was "Far Geaux".
All said due to not knowing what is going to happen! The typical scenario ... 1. Outsourcing vendor hires all former gov't employees at reduced/blended seniority and benefits. 2. Efficiency audit is performed on all processes with the goal of finding waste. 3. Senior (expensive) non-upper-ma

BTW, you gave the equation for Force, not gravity. Gravity exerts force, but that is a byproduct of the equation. The equation is G = (M1M2)/R^2 where R = the Radius (or distance) between the objects and M1 = the mass of the first object and M2 is the mass of the second object. The classical two-body equatio
I gotta ask -- are there people in North America who haven't been exposed to basic biology? At least everybody who's finished high school has seen this already, right?
Have you considered that maybe schools would be better off if they just taught Science. Without all the theories. Are you joking ? Do you know enough ( any ) science to understand what you're saying?
From what I'm seeing up here in the frozen North, people with junior qualifications are best to have either Java or .NET under their belts -- preferably with a bit of experience. Seeing as you've done a little ASP .NET, I'd try and go further down that road -- VB or C# if possible. Not to put too fine a point on it, but to the old snobs like me, MCSE/MCSD/etc., are basically toilet paper versus real experience. Long term, try and find
Juuuuuust to be pedantic (because everyone likes to nitpick), Linux is a *kernel* and (arguably) the set of tools required to maintain it. When people are arguing about "Linux" and the "desktop" they're really talking about distributions and the choices the distribution vendors (e.g., RedHat, SUSE, Mandrake, etc.) have made towards mass market usability. Case in point: I use Gentoo on my AMD64 server. This is a distribution that allow
From a userland perspective the stuff Brad wants is very compelling and a lot of people are working towards them. But there are two rules that people seem to forget that will, for practical purposes, severely limit every wish except the last: 1. The network is unreliable (or, God hates data) -- the issue with distributed data (file systems, persistent objects, whatever) is that when the netw
Is there any hope of a customer-recommended game being added to the system? It still looks like Strategy First related titles are being picked, for whatever reason. My choice: Planescape Torment if the rights are available.
I'm sure a lot of subscribers are in this situation -- though a non-trivial number are probably keeping their subscriptions in "support" of GalCiv2 and Stardock (not me personally, though).
The Dante's Inferno Test has banished you to the Sixth Level of Hell - The City of Dis! Here is how you matched up against all the levels: Level Score <tr
Interesting article and great followups! Here be the Wikipedia article on Freemasonry ( Link ) where the Landmarks section might be of interest ( Link ). Personally, I prefer Monty Python's take on Freemasons ...
Maybe there's an infrastructure issue here -- a lot of "mature" forums like Slashdot have the less subtle trolls under control pretty quick after a topic is posted. Maybe the moderation system here needs tweaking ... OR, maybe its a basic design issue, e.g., the fact that JU is syndication oriented might provide cover for the trolls to stay in the foreground for at least a little while.
Maybe, if it's "finished", you should update "The Scoring System" link?
I don't know what it is about JU -- probably because, even in "Internet time", it's a pretty young community. But this place just loves to feed the Trolls [q.v. Link ]. I don't mean just offer them sustenance -- the users seem to actively go out of their way to find posts that
When elections were still fun up here (and people turned out to vote), joke parties like the Rhinos would offer up platform tidbits like: "If elected we would get rid of the environment: it's too big and it's always getting dirty."
Great story! I fear SWG -- of all the stuff from my childhood, a good, fully working and immersive Star Wars game universe would kill my productivity. I'd have to forgo sleep to get everything else done to make time for it! I sense a disturbance in the Force - - my wife senses that I'm thinking about playing a game while the kids are yelling and screaming around the house ...
Btw, there are a lot of economies (e.g., Japan) who've been playing the dollar game. Unlike China, countries with reserves (i.e., money) have been doing things like buying up the dollar in order to inflate its price.
FWIW the Chinese have finally removed the peg of the RMB to the dollar. But, to feed the cynics, this came at the same time the Chinese government has to worry about their economy overheating ...
That is my wish for your pay version of JU Brad; that firefox has the same sort of functionality as IE here. I hate allowing Activew-X free reign on my Comp. Ditto -- the only time I ever open up IE is to post to JU now. Not exactly a ringing endorsement of IE or the choice of ActiveX.
You mentioned it in your secondary title: haggis, mon! Until you can wolf down one of those suckers and swindle other people into trying it as a party treat, you haven't lead half the life my Scottish friends claim to.
I love PC gaming -- but due to genetics and time spent at the keyboard vs hand-eye activities (played hockey but not nearly enough), twitch games have me beaten almost from the start. The first-person games I can rate as my favourites (Jedi Knight series and the Thief series) all had an aspect where it was possible to survive at least partially on wits. Long story short: I don't buy PC hardware for game playing anymore. The current machine I r
