The only drawback I can see for students is the increase in plagiarism. 60 minutes had a special on this problem a while back. Some schools even have special software that cross-references student’s homework with search engines to look for paragraph or sentence matches.
An oldie but goody Must be the obvious experts.
This topic is still debated in the US because the theory of evolution contradicts the Biblical version of creation. It doesn’t discount ID at all. Evolution could very well be part of an ID. Christians have always seen evolutionist as being anti religion even though nothing could be further from the truth. It is simply an attempt to explain the origins of life on this planet using the scientific method. ? + (We don’t know) = ID would be the beginning a
The simple answer is conservatives are just more vocal than liberals. Liberals just don’t care if you live a conservative lifestyle until you try to force them to live the same way or try and tell them who the enemy is. Conservatives get all up in arms about anyone who colors outside of their lines even if it doesn’t affect them in any reasonable way. The only consistently vocal liberals you hear are the nut jobs. Yet when they talk it becomes the libe
My money is on the geek with the tire iron.
Stubby: 360 degree camera rotation was implemented in Age of Mythology, so I expect it to be in this as well... I remember it being very awkward to use especially during battles and your height was fixed. In HW double clicking on a unit zoomed in on that unit to a predefined distance that could then be
One of my all time favorite strategy games is Homeworld. I remember being back at the desktop after playing for a while, and having the urge to hold down the right mouse button and spin around to see what the other side of my desktop icons looked like. The way that the Homeworld interface allowed you to quickly move around in a large 3D environment was nothing short of revolutionary. It would be perfect for designing and positioning objects for gaming
It’s unfortunate the law works that way but in all fairness though not having a penis has historically been a disadvantage. My sister divorced her husband after she refused to have an abortion and he through her out and got a girlfriend. In this case our family is glad custody laws favors the penis-less, he’s a real peace of shit. There are so many lies and deceit after a divorce it’s not easy for judges to get at the truth so they often just play the
The US is 10 years behind in getting hybrids to the market. Foreign automakers have a few offerings but they’re so ugly it had to be on purpose. It just seems like there is a global conspiracy to keep this technology down. Corporations get a bigger tax break if they buy there employees Hummers than the do a hybrid. If they would just make an electric car that looked cool the dam thing would sell. Have you seen the latest electric car from Toyota? Dam I
This is the next cold war. Self-replicating nanites that feed off living tissue, sounds like a horror film but it's a close reallity. And the only defense would be more nanites that eat the flesh eating nanites. We could be fighting wars from the atom up.
There are just as many uninformed right posters on JU. There are a few on here that are knowledgeable such as Jebblackstar, Stevenandalous, Calor, and to a degree Kingbee. Admittedly I’ve only been on JU for a short time but you’ve already named more left JU’rs that are informed than I can nam
That which we do the least of our citizens is the mark by which the society will be judged. Wow Dr. Guy that’s a very liberal statement. What’s next advocating social programs and financial assistance for lesser among us? <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgColor=#FFF394 class="mb-B
Although I am against gun control for the simple reason that it is not possible, Bahu is correct in pointing out that gun crimes are in a different category than all other violent crimes. The “I’ve been wronged now you all must pay” crimes that were seeing a lot of lately are very much linked to the psychology of the firearm. Walk into a building and start stabbing people and see how quickly your brought down. With a gun they’re in complete control wit
Notice the eagerness to label so many things "atrocities." It's not a coincidence. n. pl. a·troc·i·ties 1.Appalling or atrocious condition, quality, or behavior; monstrousness. 2.An appalling or atrocious act, situation, or object, especially an act of unusual or illegal cruelty inflicted
Roll playing can be very helpful in developing creativity and many other skills. It’s important you chose these games carefully though. Games like Grand Theft Auto were bad behavior is the only choice rewarded should only be played by “mature minds”. I feel one of the worst roll playing entertainment for kids these days is professional wrestling.
Christians are combining freedom of religion and free speech to say they have the right to sell you a way of life. Not wanting or allowing them to do this is not religious oppression. What they are doing is not the same at all as what the people who want complete separation of church and state are doing. Christians believe this country was divinely inspired and that people cannot make enlightened moral decisions without God in their hearts. You wrote a
Being a Christian means your supposed to be in the face of non-believers. The bible is very clear about this. “You are now interring the battleground”. Christians who don’t try to convert people aren’t following the Bibles teachings. I have never seen or heard of an Atheist or Agnostic who was actively trying to get people to stop believing in God. Just trying to stop the church from gaining influence over there lives. There are Chu
I consider myself an agnostic theist and I have the up most respect for a persons beliefs but not allowing public property and monies to be used to get people to believe in a particular religion is not religious persecution. In fact calling it that is an insult to true religious persecution. There is no doubt that organized religion has done many wonderful things in this country. However it has also caused some harm to our society. This is because it i
Thank you for the comments ParaTed2k. Actually it wouldn't take the police state scenarios you paint in your article. As it stands now, there are a lot of procedures and treatments that are illegal here in the U.S. If a total ban on abortion were passed (which only the most extreme in the anti abortion camp would pursue
If the Pro-life movement succeeds in making abortion illegal what will the ensuing steps to enforce this new law entail? When the hundreds of abortion clinics spring up along the borders of Canada and Mexico it will to some degree become the Border Patrol’s responsibility to enforce the law. Will there new duties include giving a pregnancy test to border crossers? <B
Well all programs are magic to me so as far as I’m concerned you’re a magician. This is my third year subscribing to Object Desktop and I love WB. When I’m looking through the WCB and find a blind I like I just apply it and presto changeo it works. I like that, But DX not so magical. I’m very good with PhotoShop so maybe one day I’ll find the time to create my own themes but not today. Just saying that is why I don’t use DX. Love yo
All themes should be resolution independent. It should not be up to the author to make it so it should be hard wired into DX format. I don’t have the time or the spare ram to create my own themes. Bottom line I can’t use most of the themes out there. And it’s always the theme I like that doesn’t work at my resolution don’t ya know.
Will themes be resolution independent? More than half the themes out there won’t display properly at 1600x1200. That’s very frustrating and the main reason I quit using DX a year ago.

I’m not privy to their marketing research but something was telling them exploring the universe just wasn’t exciting enough anymore to be a hit. I guess they thought viewers needed conflict. But Romulans and Klingons were too much like us to kill without remorse. Villains needed to be irredeemably evil. Hence the arrival of the can’t be reasoned with, you will be assimilated Borg.
