Is anyone else curious why the "space industry" can't seem to bootstrap itself? There have been hundreds of research teams and thousands of launches of variuos kinds over the last 40-odd years and yet we still spend weeks on the launch pad trying to clear up a software glitch!
It seems to me that they need to rethink the model and redesign the way we do space launches. Before BitTorrent downloads could be fast if you had the right connection. They would be unrealiable if they were too long however. After BitTorrent they could be much faster and more reliable!
As most of the readers of/. obviously agree that evolution is the only show in town, I'm forced to wonder why we even bother giving this topic such attention. It certainly can't be for the minority of Creationists who hang about the fringes of reason attempting every few years to get evolution thrown out of schools!
Ask yourself if this is even a topic for self-congradulatory debate with no 'real' opponents.
Yes, crummy psudo-science should be thrown out--read: Creationism--and it isn't alright to be a bigot but to belabor the point can get to seem fanatical itself...
