Re: Negative energy waves
If they are waves then it's likely and plausible that they are alternating between negative and positive anyway. So on average nothing.

If you believe in resurrection what else is being resurrected but an immortal soul?
You're grasping at technicalities to try to justify the fact that you claim (by way of being Christian) to believe in magic, which is clearly unjustifiable except via the fact that lots of other people claim the same.
Personally I suspect that many of them believe no such thing and are therefore not actually Christian at all.
"science can never prove (or disprove) the existence of God.."
The burden of proof is on those making the claim, not on others to disprove it.
Anyway, if a scientist set up something that he claimed would invoke God, and a big hand came out of the sky and shot a lightning bolt, and that was repeatable and got published and peer reviewed....perhaps that would be Science proving the existence of God.
But then the religious would probably redefine God to get out of it. As Douglas said, "Without faith I am nothing said God, and disappeared in a puff of logic."
"what matters to most members of a religion is the community, not the theology"
I have seen no evidence to suggest that at all.
Why build the big towers pointing to the man in the sky then? or all the images and statues of the supposed miracles and messiah? Why pray/sing to God when people get married in church? Why have "thanksgiving" as someone else pointed out, thanking whom?
What you've said it not true at all. If someone said "I am religious but don't believe in God (or A God)" they'd be laughed out of church or the equivalent (if they were lucky).
So many environmentally-concerned folk may also be anti-GMO for no reason than it's the latest fashion and it's a new invention so must be bad.
But good for the environment?
but GMO?
<head explodes!>
Personally although I am concerned that our environment is looked after, I have never heard of hops being a problem. And I have no problem at all with GMO, whether natural (yes it happens naturally) or man-induced.
"If the software is free then how can you complain when it forces you to use it's own browser rather another free browser?"
I'm in two minds about whether they should be doing this, but Win10 isn't free. You either buy it as a retail package or pay for it inclusive of your new PC cost, or paid for Win7 which was "upgraded" with no additional fee (but you had to have a valid Win 7 install, which was not free).
I am not particularly defending anyone, let alone Google, but that article seems unnecessarily sarcastic.
"Google also have lawyers on standby to scrutinise RTBF requests as well. Just in case those definitely-not-prescriptive rules aren't clear enough, you see."
That seems reasonable. As mentioned, it's not a legal process yet, but may need legal input.
" internal case management and correspondence tool, imaginatively named Cases"
It's got to be called something.
@handleoclast
He didn't claim the truth, he claimed all tube stations are equivalent to 15 floors which is clearly not the truth and the video proves it. The *joke* is that all tube stations are 15 floors.
The video didn't need to be so long to show it, and the OP could have indicated that it was a joke rather than bluntly stating it as fact. Twice.
Also it's not "famous".
"Google allows you to access the Web version"
No, Google has no influence on your ability to access the Web version. It only makes it easier to find it by reference to its content. Delisting NT1 from Google does not remove the original or mean you can't access it, in the same way that the local library might have a copy of the newspaper but does not have an index connecting NT1 to it (probably!).
Yes, I was an 11-year old kid and I learned to program in BASIC from the ZX80 manual which I read in bed. I had to wait for the actual computer until my dad had finished soldering the kit together. But when he did, it worked, and I knew what to do.
The kits also came with circuit schematics, which for the ZX80 was a marvellous education, as it was all implemented in standard logic chips, nothing custom.
The ZX81 replaced something like 21 chips with one big custom black box, not much you could learn from that!
Nothing wrong with those who have a vested interest pushing for clarity if it benefits them. Nobody else will. In this case they have a fair point.
Although there is a distinction between FTTC and FTTP, so the FTTP guys should start pushing that difference. Get someone advertising it as "I need a P" or something!
"If it was the BBC from the days of Yes Minister...
...Terry Pratchet Night Watch characters"
I did read a story over the weekend which claimed that there is going to be a TV production of Pratchett's Night Watch stories, on the BBC.
Feel happier to pay it now? It's encouraging, for me at least.
Is that allowed?
When Ireland got done by the EU for targeting specific companies for tax breaks, it was bad. Are France allowed to target specific companies for extra taxes?
Or will it apply to all companies? I suppose where turnover>X where X=min(Google, Facebook, Amazon...)
