The theory of evolution has pretty much zero value in competing globally, the way I see it This is absurdly myopic. Evolution affects not just all the life-sciences, but also the mathematics of evolution is finding new applications in sof

I support death Death doesn't really need your support, although it might appreciate the fanbase as it is usually not that popular on the whole, apart from with goths, although it tends to find them a bit embarrassing.

I don't support genetic modification of food, for example. Then you will be really annoyed when you work out what viruses get up to all on their own. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horizontal_gene_transfer

I'm not ignoring the politics, but science does have an obviously large part to play when it comes to teaching science, irrespective of the politics. Also, to insist on evolution and climate science to be taught in a way that practitioners

Evolution is not scientifically controversial and you can't teach biology without it. The political fight on this is not some recent invention of educators, but is just the current battle in a religious propaganda war for the right to dicta

Also, stressing how american you are and then calling yourself DietPepsi, just seems like trying a bit too hard.

It is true that while the US army might have the most guns in the world, the US public seemingly isn't all that far behind. Even if your armed forces were not allowed to take part, you'd still probably win in a land war against Canada or Me

Get a good legal team and do them all for fraud. If you can show potential losses of over $5000 in a year, then you might even be able to leverage the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_Fraud_and_Abuse_Act

True and abhorrent racism isn't everywhere , but it is endemic in most societies. And the vast majority of people who have reached 'celebrity' status for their writing on the subject have written because they felt a pressing need to do so,

My guess is that anyone who is literate has read Shakespeare at least once. That is one hell of an assumption. For one thing, most people who are literate, are not literate in English.

You forget, more people have lived since the end of the second world war, than lived between then and Shakespeare's time. If you also take into account the rise in global literacy, far more people will have read celebrity news than Shakespe

If they are not guilty of perjury, then surely they are guilty of some kind of commercial fraud. Could action be taken from that angle?

Is probably research. First test what happens when you have exclusive payment areas for a limited time and see if anyone kicks off really badly and if the fallout from doing so costs more money than what you make. If not, roll out to more e

Technology for sharing data does not care what data gets shared and has no way of doing so. Positing that nobody would shut down a service that is only used for legal sharing is therefore a fairly pointless exercise. Especially since defini

Am not sure that it is even a poor headline as such, as it does it's job descriptively with a commonly understood label, as in, I understood when I saw it that someone was going to find themselves completely outclassed. Is more of a cultura
