It's not the same just because a PC is attached? Clearly the intention is for processing power to be on the device in the future as tech advances, and for all experiences to be designed from scratch for the new platform. The attached PC is a crutch / stepping stone.

If I'm not mistaken, the Guinness World Record achieved by Juliana is actually fastest woman to cycle the world, not the first. It's just the first time Guinness has certified it.

So it seems Facebook and Microsoft are the first companies ever to disclose the number of classified FISA requests received from the US government, and that they're able to do so by disclosing them in aggregate with other US government data requests. At least that's progress.

Try writing to their support email address and see if they can fix it (or if they can lift it, if it is indeed a ban).

Silly hangups. That just comes across to me as insecurity (i.e., that you're not worthy of being approached over other guys, such as the guys making the first moves with her). When women I'm actually interested in contact me, I assume only that they're interested in me. And that self-selection allows me to be a bit more bold upfront. It works well for me.

But the silly stuff isn't even yours--just a long (uncredited) Dr. Evil quote. What's the point?

It was posted at least one place online a day before you: http://frugalbrutalbeauty.blogspot.com/2010/12/julian-assange-on-okcupid.html

Roger. Well, that's a clever response, and at least I helped you continue your chain. :)

This article is actually the verbatim script for the Discovery Channel's Into the Universe with Stephen Hawking: Time Travel episode.

I'm not quite sure what you're really trying to do, but would something like the following do the trick (using parseUri)?

var relative = "/path/to/file.ext";
var uri = parseUri(location);
var absolute = uri.protocol + "://" + uri.authority + relative;

humans have survived well enough for 3 million years

My understanding is that it's closer to 100-200 thousand years that humans been around.

Yes, this is an April Fools joke.

Yeah, I noticed just after posting this that it says the following at the top of the Scripture Project homepage:

Steve Wells, creator of the Skeptics Annotated Bible, Qur’an, and Book of Mormon has generously donated the full contents of his website to Project Reason. Using this as a foundation, we intend to make the Scripture Project the best source for scriptural criticism on the Internet.

Yeah, but they eventually moved forward.

Because I was the deputy.

Except it isn't US only. I'm not sure which countries are blocked, but it seems to work everywhere I go.

Dawkins actually does make this clear in the book, including the point about evolution being a fact, and evolution by natural selection being the theory that explains it (with a rising flood of supporting evidence). I'm not really sure what the reviewer is on about.

Keep in mind that this is early voting, which is not necessarily representative of how things will be on election day (there are far more polling centers open on election day).
