useradd What it really comes down to is an issue of rights as alantae touched on. Most countries who've adopted the UN's universal human rights likely prosecute such violations in the same manner I would assume. The way it works in Canada and the US though is a matter...

useradd I have no problem with that, and see no reason why science and religion can't co-exist. So long at those who are religious understand the difference between science and religion, I'll remain happy. When people start making assumptions about science being the...

useradd To put it another way, it's as if the air weren't moving at all. The pilot and the air share the same inertial frame, or moving at the same speed. Take the Earth for instance. We travel through space around the sun at a rate several times faster than the speed...

useradd The OP is talking about sound, not radio waves. Radio waves are part of the electromagnetic spectrum which is also comprised of light waves. EM waves travel at the speed of light, and this is not in question. Sound is made from pressure waves within a...
