Microsoft Anti-Trust Rulings Due Tomorrow
ewhac writes "The Associated Press is reporting that Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly will deliver her opinions on the Microsoft anti-trust suit tomorrow, after close of markets. Much speculation revolves around whether she will approve or reject the settlement negotiated by the Justice Department. Should she reject it, she can only offer suggestions for improvement; she cannot impose amendments. Watch this site for further developments :-)." Reader acacia points out that the opinions should be posted at this site, if you want a quick bookmark.
This is wierd I was moderating this page, and it marked this comment as overrated. I didn't even have a drop down box for it availible. I would've marked it funny. Now it's letting post to a thread I've moderated...hmm.
Evolution is a 'theory', just like gravity. If you don't like it, go jump off a bridge.
This is just not the case. Gravity is a Law, not a Theory. It accurately describes something, but does not explain "how" something works. Only that it does. Evolution, OTH, attempts to explain how a process works. Very little if any progress has been made towards this end WRT Gravity.
A quick Google search for "difference between a Theory and a Law" should provide an explanation of the differences. It was not too long ago that this distiction was pointed out to me, while making the same assertion you have. This page explains it better.

Oh man. Jennifer Love Hewitt is in big trouble.
