If what you say is true, then why do preachers say the Bible is Gods holy word? Why do we call the Bible holy? If it's not meant to be taken literal, then why all the worship? Why all the praying? Why do so many people reject science, and claim that somehow the Bible has all the answers? No, I think you're wrong. People go to church and believe everything coming out of the preachers mouth, otherwise they wouldn't sit there for an hour to listen to some nonsense.
Religion is part of the reason why people can't solve their differences. When you're religion tells you that non-believers are evil and should be killed, it's kind of hard to solve world problems like - resources, land, and government ideologies. Take away religion and everyone comes to logical conclusions.
If Christians don't take the Bible literally, then why do they believe in "being born again", or receive their weekly communion, or think God created MAN. Every belief and ritual that is performed in church comes straight from the Bible. I don't know a single Christian who compares the Bible with Moby Dick.
No I think Dr. Dawkins is doing a brilliant job. You need to make people aware of their ignorance, and sometimes by spelling it out. You need to rattle their brains so that can start questioning what they believe. Once that happens, people will start to use logic and reasoning to conclude the non-sense of their beliefs. I used to be a Christian religious believer, until I was shaken by the scientific controversy. Once you take that initial step of curiosity to know more, the jigsaw puzzle starts coming together.
Stamping out a biological diferences is very different from stamping out ignorance! Do you still believe the world is 6,000 years old? If not, should you blame so Bigot for changing your mind? Stupidity is the bi-product of ignorance.
Religious believers actually enjoy believing in non-sense, because it makes them feel good. They like believing in fantasies, same way people fantasize about super heroes, sex, money, etc. You take away their invisible Superman and they go kanipshit!
Can you provide ONE example of his Bigotry? I can name thousands of example how Religions around the world are Bigots to non-believers! Mr. Dawkins doesn't go around beheading people for having different beliefs.
There are a few things only available to Windows Mobile, like One-Note synching for example. Consider how many businesses use Exchange or Sharepoint, or Terminal Services, and you'll see how Windows RT will dominate in those areas. Not to mention all the new features that Server 2012 will have that provide cloud capabilities on Windows RT, and don't forget the XBOX360 integration. Might even have Windows Media Center access on Windows RT, that would be cool.
The one thing RT has going for it is Microsoft Support. Think about how much Microsoft has integrated with many of the apps we use, like Office, Servers, etc. I'm sure Microsoft will have a plethora of apps specific for businesses who wish to sync with Exchange, Sharepoint, Office, Remote Access, VDI, and much more. Plus, there is the XBOX 360 integration which Microsoft will have the leverage to port many games over to the RT.
Microsoft will throw everything they have into this platform to make it thrive.
Yea, I don't see to many 3 year old's using Microsoft Office applications, or SQL databases. The kid is just playing Metro Games, of course that's easy.
Keyboard/Mouse and Touchscreens can work together if it's done right. With tablet laptops, and touchscreen All in 1 PC's, it can be convenient to use both. Problem with Windows 8, the touch part only works well with Metro, not the standard desktop. Try using a touchscreen with the standard desktop browser, it doesn't work.
Because unlike M$, Apple borrowed code from the open source community (Linux) to make their OSX. Apple never invented anything, they just took what they saw was available and used it in a better way.
Considering Micro$oft will be supporting XP til 2014, that means Security Updates, Patches, IE updates, etc. As long as you have the hardware that still supports XP, and you have no special needs for things like HD Video, or new special hardware, you should be able to hang on for a couple more years. The OS usually dies when no new IE updates are available.
It's your imagination playing tricks on you. Same reasons why we talk to ourselves, imagine being someone else, imagine being with someone else, and imagine your bad fortune is caused by someone else. A creative story is put on paper, and we imagine it to be true.

Nice try, but you're free thinking has left out Logic and Reasoning. If you can't discern whats true, then you might as well jump off a bridge.

I think religion came from Imagination. The point in our brain evolution that was able to imagine things.
And where did you got all your information?? Yea, I thought so!
Fear, Wars, Hatred, all results of religion. Take away all religions and everyone has common goals - we all get along.
At least we have evidence of Dawkins existence. Do you know what God looks like?

That technology was used in Kiosks all around the world, mainly ATM machines. I would say that was a big success back then.

If it makes you feel better, there is still 1 employee at my company using a BB phone.
I still like to play around with my Commodore 64, but purely for nostalgia reasons.

will finaly put an end to most religious beliefs about evolution?
