Academic publishing is just scam piled upon scam. All of it: peer reviewed journals, yearly revs of bulky textbooks, clunky proprietary search engines, trying to give digital access while retaining paper-based income models. The whole thing's an ana…

Quote: Originally posted by midwinter as Powerdoc rightly pointed out, once that is associated properly in the child's mind, the threat itself is plenty. I'm not sure I see why threatening violence is so much better than violence. Surely the c…

Quote: Originally posted by segovius We see no such correlation. The metaphor as it is suggests that the infinite monkeys with their infinite typewriters came up with one work in all of eternity and only one: a perfect Shakespeare. Not a hal…

None of the books about dog training I've read advocate violence, in fact most go to great lengths to explain why it is counter-productive. Bloody hippy dog trainers!

Quote: Originally posted by segovius The onus is not on me to do that. I would prefer to ask the question: why does science exclude the possibility of the existence of data which falls outside its canon ? Personally I would answer in this way:…

Can I ask benzene what he actually believes? * Age of the Earth? * Does micro-evolution occur? * Does macro-evolution occur? * Did dinosaurs ever roam the earth? * Are humans descended from apes? * First human lived when? * Did they have a …

Windows shows outlines of a box for like a millisecond. All you see is a flash. It's not the idea that's missing, it's the implementation which leads to the lack of connection between action and result that is the problem. And explicitly making t…

You know what bugs me every time I think about it? The three traffic light buttons on the top left of the window. Back in Mac OS 9 you had controls on both sides of the window, on one side the 'safe' controls, Minimize and Zoom to Fit, on the oth…

As Hassan says, the truth is usually more amazing than the stories we tell ourselves. The truth in this case, is that evolution has never challenged any religion. The scientists who developed, and have repeatedly proved, their various theories of…

Quote: Originally posted by Cake Seriously, what does "memory" mean. Are these those things that keep the shape of your head? That would drive me nuts since I toss and turn a lot. They keep the shape for only a short time after the heat and p…

Quote: Originally posted by benzene Paleontologists discover "missing links" at the rate of about one or two a year. Once their findings are reviewed by the scientific community, it becomes evident that (in the case of homonids) they are already …

PDF isn't a 'workaround' for .doc issues. It is *the* perfect format for delivering read only documents that are intended to be printed. If a European sends a .doc file to someone in the US, the change in paper size (A4 -> US Letter) breaks the …

OpenOffice's file formats are XML: http://xml.openoffice.org/ They've been approved by OASIS, which *everyone* who is anyone in documents and data is signed up for, even MSFT, though they are being dicks about it as it will kill both of their …

HE-AAC is like a low gear, it lets you make the most of what you put in at a certain low range of speeds/bitrates. But that doesn't make it 'better' than a high gear overall, just more appropriate at certain ranges, and particularly not at higher sp…
