I think it would be fine if they only taught evolution, I don't care if they don't want to mention other theories. But they should teach evolution as a theory -- the way some people teach it, evolution is a divine truth that to go against it is heresy. That's what they always do with the Law of The...

I would chose five random movies. Being able to chose would tempt me into chosing movies that I would get bored with. Better to be surprised the first time I decide to veg out for a couple hours than to watch a movie I already know. Alternatively I could ask my friends to pick 5 I've never seen and ...

Can you link me up? I was under the impression that despite soi-disant teleportation experiments, no information has actually been transmitted. Actually, only information has been transmited. Even though it's not possible to physically move a particle, it is possible to transfer it's quantam state,...

Ansible...

Okay, now that scientists have made breakthroughs in quantam teleportation, don't we have ansible technology. The idea of quantam teleportation is that one can transport the quantam state[\i] of a particle, which is essentially information[\i]. Because teleportation is instantaneous over any distanc...

My question is, doesn't the cat perceive what's going on, thus removing it from the suppostion of states?

That's why I like the idea of the multiple universe theory.

Well, technically, “atheists” don’t believe in ANY deity. So somebody who doesn’t believe in “Zeus” is as atheist as someone who doesn’t believe in “Allah”. No, that's not right. An atheist doesn't belive in a theistic god . An atheist can belive in a (non theistic) deity (or deit...

By the way, hydrogen bombs (thermonuclear weapons) use the fusion of hydrogen (technically deuterium) to produce the explositon (the same reaction that goes on in the sun). However, for this reaction to start you need immense temperatures, which are acheived with a small plutonium or uranium bomb. B...

Incidentally, I understand atheists, but I don't understand people who think that God hates them. *edit* Let me elaborate on that. It's just plain arrogent. The idea that the supreme all-powerful, all-knowing being who created the entire universe and every human soul has a grudge against you person...

^Stewart^ I know I wouldn't want to live in America if I really had the choice. Anyway, he needs to work on his numbers. As we speak (I type) the population is ~6.658 billion. That means that outside of America there are ~6.358 billion. So O'Reilly's number is low by 358 million people. Darn conserv...

The fact is that this technology will integrate itself into society so slowly that nobody will really notice the change.

Before invisibility is available to the public, there will be ways of detecting invisible people, so it's a moot point.

the legalization of prostitution makes sense for a few simple reasons, regardless of the specific details. The first is that it will free up space in the legal system (in terms of jail beds, police forces and judicial resources) to go after much more harmful criminals [insert political reference], b...

Dear You, I'm sorry about last night. Maybe I shouldn't have been so forward. I just wish you would explain what you're thinking. I didn't mean to intimidate you, just to express what I'm feeling. Maybe I didn't read you correctly. I don't blame you if you were trying to avoid me, I just wish you co...
