I apologize if the way I said it was offensive. But I will not apologize for telling the truth. The idea that we evolved is not just an opinion, it is a fact backed by evidence. I couldn't say the same about the doctrine of special creation

Hate? is telling the truth hate? Religion is an idea. Like any other idea it should be subjected to scrutiny and criticism. Unfortunately in our culture criticizing religion is considered wrong. I did not even criticize any religion in part

Whoever voted negative on this comment does not fully understand my point. I am pointing out how ridiculous it is to believe that all life started 6,000 years ago and all species were already made exactly as they are. The fact that this par

So if life started 6,000 years ago when there were no plastic, does this mean that this fungus was a recent creation?

They are a third party payments aggregator (TPPA), just like PayPal when it started. They make it possible for merchants to accept credit card and bank transfers without the need to setup a merchant account with a bank or card association.

You are absolutely correct, it is a promise. But it is also a guarantee. There are regulations regarding money laundering that we will have to comply with of course. Users are required to fill out certain forms if the the amount of a transa

No we won't freeze, close, or withdraw money from people's accounts. Once it's open, it's open. Once the money is cleared, it doesn't go back. This is an ironclad promise we can make to users because of the unique way we process payments. R

It's amazing how bureaucracy can make it difficult for large companies to make simple changes. I think we should create a better model for running large organizations. The "flat" model seems to be promising but is still not sufficient to fi

Actually it is the sellers that PayPal is turning off. Their dispute resolution policies are abstruse and keep changing in their attempt to protect buyers. They have relied too heavily in freezing, closing, and even withdrawing money from s

The problem is that it is currently easier to measure math and language skills. It would also be difficult to teach because it is less mechanical. But I believe advances in CAD's and user interfaces would eventually help in creating a curri

you'll be surprised how much exercise, sports, meditation, or spending a little bit of time doing something unrelated to your project can help a lot. Unless it's really clinically severe anyone should do their best to avoid anti-depressants

It was a neutrino that was discovered moving faster than light at CERN, that is what I was referring to. Tyson also mentioned that it is likely a special type of neutrino already moving faster than light is the one being observed (tachyons)

Well that's exactly what will happen when anything moves faster than light, it will travel backwards in time. The real question is where is it getting infinite energy to break the light barrier? or are neutrinos the only particles with mass

Maybe the current downturn (bankruptcy filings, closing of CC accounts)is forcing people to start using cash instead of credit. I am a cash person myself, but asking people direct access to their bank accounts would be a hard sell, at least

Monopolies do exist, especially in developing countries. And they tend to control prices when no competition is around. The only reason why monopolies are no longer as dominant in the United States and the West is because of the outlawing

Well my point is that "free market" will destroy "free market". The idea is an unsustainable model because once a winner emerges politics gets involved. I do not deny the fact that government involvement can help sustain a monopoly, but my

Unregulated markets do lead to monopoly. Why? Because it is the very nature of competition. There will be a winner (or a few) and most will either be acquired or they will die out. With monopoly comes political power and this leads to cron

I don't understand why antimatter stars would emit more gamma rays than normal matter. The only difference is the charge right? Then mass and energy should be the same. That is why matter and anti-matter annihilate each other completely bec
