But your statement, "..or something else mechanically that prevents a creature from getting the condition", seems to specifically imply snakes.

Rank has nothing to do with this. Her manager was 100% out of line and needs to be called out. The OP underreacted if anything!

The base frequency certainly isn't the dominant frequency. The most basic sound that comes from the vocal cords is a slightly rounded version of a pulse wave, but many things flavor it so a voice can sound "breathy" or "bright", for example., this is before it even reaches the throat and mouth which act as resonating chambers. The explanation here is rather elementary and naive at best.

Except the waveshape at the base frquency is not a sine wave. It is basically just a pulsing square wave. It has many higher harmonics it would definitely be audible to us. The vowel formants would be much more important and you haven't even discussed those.

I have often entertained the idea that this is indeed where Earth's biosphere originated. Regarding the statement, " We've obviously populated Mars with micro-organisms from Earth already.", in fact great measures were taken to ensure that Mars bound vehicles were sterilized.

@Henning Makholm, "Are you somehow getting less value for that money", if new customers get the same value for less money, then yes the OP is naturally getting less value per dollar.

@james large, I feel the ISS is a poor example in this case as it's purpose is completely peaceful and there are no enemies to keep it from.

I'm not convinced. All of your examples can be lifted tomorrow.

Google "define ban." Also none of the first three links provide definitions that include any sense of permanency. Besides, the onus is really on you to provide a definition that states that it is permanent.

Being for an indefinite period of time is not part of the definition of the word ban. It is defined as a verb, that means to officially or legally prohibit. One example usage I found from an authoritative source (Google) is, "he was banned from driving for a year." And in fact, it is quite common for bans to be lifted.

Access to people's passwords also grants you the ability to impersonate them and process activities or transactions against their wishes. The existing database is not the only thing the will have access to.

What if the basic life elements were created and introduced to our planet by some external force and then left to evolve through the processes of natural selection? Would both positions then be true? Creationism doesn't have to agree with the bible (does it?), which seems to be a common opinion held throughout this page.
