Admittedly. Next time you get an infection, please refrain from using any cure that was developed based on this nasty nasty dreaded materialism. Just remember that when you're gone, we materialists get your stuff. ;)

ID most certainly does posit a supernatural creator. If the creator is natural, one is reduced to an ad infinitum argument: what created the creator? ID proponents by and large have already admitted to this. One form of creationism makes this claim. Those would be the extremely hardcore...

ID is undeniably creationism. I would encourage anyone interested in this subject to read up on the history of the ID movement- it is a direct descendent (pun intended) of Creation Science which evolved (pun intended) into ID in response to the Supreme Court's decision in 1987 which declared...

You might consider R- it was originally intended for visualization, but has much of the power of SAS, and is OS.

I agree- no degree adequately prepares you for your job. This is especially true of trading- where it can be argued there is just as much if not more "art" than "science". That said, trading on my own is simply not possible. Learning to trade doing anything other than paper trading will...

Hey all- I'm a long time lurker, first time poster. I need a little career advice, and hoped I might find people with similar stories who might be able to speak from their own experiences. My background is in computer science- I did a BA and 3 years of work toward a PhD I never...
