Ok, I haven't played D&D since I was a kid. Recently some friends and I got together and have been playing, or at least found an excuse to get together and throw back some brews (much to the dismay and utter disbelief of my fiancee, but I digress) I have spent a crap ton of money on stupid books and I have a friend that has the leather bound super expensive version of the DM's guide. I wish they would just make these things backwards compatible so I wouldn't have to buy a second crap ton of books for a game I am too old to be playing anyway.
By the way. Firefox's spell check refuses to believe that fiancee or fiance are words that can be used by the same person talking about D&D and underlines it giving me no option for a correct spelling.
Evolution is a theory, like string theory, However it is used as science fact. Gravity is a law of science it can be proven, just like conservation of energy.
Is it so hard to believe that since we have not proven evolution that it remains a theory that we could be wrong about? If we all came from a big bang, then what went bang, where did all that raw material for the universe come from? Is it possible that the missing piece to the puzzle is something that a human mind can't comprehend or are we so smart now that nothing is outside our scientific reasoning.

Ok, I like Thunderbird more than Outlook. But in fairness when I took on IT at the firm I used to work for one of the first things I did was ditch Outlook and IE for Thunderbird and Firebird. It did not take long before it's massive one file store of all email and attachments got corrupted and killed my users applications. The advice everybody gave "Email apps are not supposed to be used as data archival apps" That might sound good and elitist and all but when you are dealing with hundreds of emails with clients and vendors etc. you need your "paper" trail.
I know this whole article is the start of a giant flame war, but I feel that I needed to chime in. Think about the computer you are using right now, was it not designed and manufactured by a sentient being? Or the building you are in? How can these things be deliberate acts but something as complex as a human and well existence be hap-hazard. My biggest argument for creationism would be to ask "and where did that come from" an infinite number of times. So you believe that life was created by a big bang huh, who created the materials that banged, something has to have proceeded that right? Why not accept that some higher power that we might not be able to comprehend exists, or are we so arrogant as to think that we are the top tier of existence? I could spend my whole life trying to teach a dog how to use the bash shell, but that dog is simply not going to comprehend it, I know IT guys that have a hard enough time with permissions! Why is it not reasonable that if we can not understand creation that maybe it was done at a higher level than we can understand.

It seems that this is endorsing litter at the highest levels.

I read a few of them when I was young, they were pretty good. I can't wait to see what they do.

I have seen Gnome look more like any version of OSX than this.
