It's not about being superior. It's about being happy with life. Technology doesn't bring happiness, it only brings convenience (and sometimes pain and misery, see "Microsoft Windows".)
I don't know if you're being sarcastic, funny, or really are trolling, but there are verses in the Bible that support human dominance over the rest of nature, which can be interpreted as anti-environmentalist. See The Book of Genesis, 1:26 and 1:28.
Instead of doctors without borders or engineers without borders, we need ditch diggers without borders, or plumbers without borders.
Well, there's no point in having plumbers and ditch diggers if the population is so significantly unhealthy that they can't actually enjoy such things as plumbing.
Christianity and religion as a whole encourages the polarization of actions into "good" and "evil" and by forcing the pendulum to the "good" side makes the "evil" side more attractive than an a-moral philosophy can do.
By the evil side, I presume you mean the Seven Deadly Sins. If you look at them closely, you will find they are just basic human instincts. As humans, our biological purpose is to survive, and those instincts are what enables us to survive.
The Church chose those "sins" very carefully, because they knew that if they convinced people those "sins" were sins, then those people would keep coming back to the Church, which gave them more power.

Yeah. And Duke Nukem Forever is coming out tomorrow.
What has Microsoft done about their bugs?
They're not bugs, they're features! DUH!
It actually sounds exactly the same in Spanish, where the letters B and V sound the same.
Or do you think that those commercials are an accurate display of the Mac vs. PC world?
Mac: Hi, I'm a Mac.
PC: And I'm a PC.
Guy in a penguin costume: And I'm Linux.
Guy in a penguin costume shoots the other two guys.
At least the person wouldn't look so fucking STUPID in the photo, with them holding the camera.
There are ten people in this world. Those who understand binary and those who don't.
I saw that as someone's sig some time ago.

Yes, but would you die for your life?

You might as well give Osama bin Laden a Nobel Peace Prize for raising awareness of lax US security.
Well, fine, but only if they're pink.
Godwin would be pleased.

Taking away the third world would be taking away factories, plants and workshops.
Or, they would come back to the first world, and prices would either go up or down (probably the former.)
Thank you for that utterly pointless and irrelevant mini-rant. Now get back in your cave.
No need, he (like all of us) is sitting in his mom's basement, which is dark enough already.
Hasn't this galaxy heard of CONTRACEPTIVES?
'illegal investigation' problem
Now if we can fix/scrap the PATRIOT Act, which also supports "illegal investigations".
I mean, I do NOT write code on whiteboards with markers in my real job, why should I have to put up with that in an interview?
Emacs has a feature for that, you know.
Windows has "ripened" for over 30 years, and now we have something called Vista. And it's definitely foul-smelling.
Now we know why Apollo called Houston to tell them they had a problem. Windows crashed on them!
That's why we always vote for Lesser Evil, not the Greater Good
Why vote for the lesser evil? Cthulu for President!
That's the beauty of FOSS. If you want to host the data yourself, just add that capability to the software.
You know what's ironic? Intelligent Design reminds me very much of Raelism, and the Church supports ID, yet at the same time, disclaims Raelism.
