"But some of us are better at "the game" than others, and this does change our genome." I won't deny that instinct is still present. It isn't like 200 years change the entire gene pool. Civilization isn't but a very thin layer of chrome on top of a piece of trash.
You can play 'the game' and be successful, but there is no need to do so. I am not sure if you refer to the book, but I know people that are very good at it and I can counter them by just being me and integrating myself with todays society.
But by refering to the game you just pointed out my very point: You can control your instincts. You can defy them. You can choose whoever the hell you want to be with.
I don't know if I am just kinda gayish, but I prefer girls that aren't instinctive and slutty, but quality girls that actually have a brain. I am still a virgin by choice because of that and its not like I couldn't have gotten a shitload of very hot girls.
It's funny how instinct correlates with stupidity, though. In my country high school is devided up into different levels of difficulty. I started at the highest one and got down to the avarage difficulty (who gives a fsck about Newton, I'd rather learn about Einsteins theories and computers and such, which is how I ended up fscking up high school:') ). But anyway in the top level of education people picked each other based on character. In the above avarage layer people picked each other based on how hot somebody was, but brains where mostly a requirement. The avarage level is just about "how much bitches did you fsck last night?".
Conclusion: If humans evolve beyond evolution by means of a developped society, instincts are surpressed. They can still be called, but they are mostly gone. If humans are not part of a developped society thing become a jungle.
Or... you could just format it ext4 (or some other rediculous, Oracle style, check 600x times if the file's been copied correctly file system) and login to Linux once a month, take you Linux files and put it on there and then from within Linux put your Windows NTFS partition on read only and copy you Windows files from withing Linux to your secure ext4 backup drive.

Professional camcorders, including XDCAM-HD streams, IMX (D10) streams, DVCAM (D10) , DVCAM, DVCPRO, DVCPRO50 streams and DNxHD streams (decoding only, encoding untested). Please note that Kdenlive does not offer the original codecs, but only that we use FFmpeg free software codecs, which can read original streams and sometimes export as well. When you own a camcorder, there is no reason why you should not be able to read your own films.
"You are incorrect. There is plenty of evidence to suggest that human evolution is not only still happening, but accelerating." Yeah... ever heared of traveling? The world is getting smaller you know...
"The rest of your post was equally nonsensical." What do you mean? Did you even RTFA, all joking aside? It goes like this: Create random techno loops. Which ones do you like? Ah you like loop 1, 2 and 3 (ketchup, beer and chocolate).
*statistics* *Auto song creation (the blender)*
Ladies and gentleman. After a gazillion votes, this is the best song to date...
OMG... Is this music? My god that's... that's... god...
"Every time someone selects a mate and reproduces, they are reacting to their environment and, well, evolving!" Not really. Or at least not in the western world... It is humans that devine culture. It is culture that devines evolution. Todays hot, might be tommorows not. Skinny girls on TV? Suddenly that's hot. Remember the days that chest hair was cool? Now it's disgusting, suddenly. Being manly was the way to go. Today it's metrosexual...
"It's hard for me to fathom how you could successfully argue that there is no selection pressure on humans." There is. Sure there is. It's just that we make our own...
"And in the developing world, well, you still have plenty of good old fashioned death going on." Sadly very true...
"Secondly, the algorithms used to generate the music are really important." They are fundamentaly flawed...
I Like ketchup, beer and chocolate, but put these all in a blender and it tastes like shit.
To top it: evolution is no longer pressent. What is evolution? Those who are fit for their environment survive and all others die. Currently we are no longer adapting to our invironment, but adapting our environment to ourselves.
Don't worry... nVidia will never, or at least not in the near future, be able to make x86 chips that would come even close to Intel's and AMD's performance...
I think nVidia wants to release it's own x86+GPU Ion style platform... They realise that Intel has it's own CPU's and GPU's and AMD has it's own CPU's and GPU's.AMD is their main competitor and if the market is going to shift towards hybrid processing units than this is the only way nVidia can keep up with the competition...
Hold on a second. I got a call. Hello 90's? What? You want the *BSD crowd to stop whining about the fact that they haven't delivered shit compared to Linux and now they are pissed? Yes. OK I'll ask...
AC will you please shove the MIT Vs. GPL issue up your ass?
I am not giving him any more credit beyond throwing a tiny snowball... I am just saying that if the GNU project was never started than we'd be missing out on a lot...
Judging from your account number I can tell that you didn't just create that account to pull of a joke.
So what's it like for a whoman to work in an IT environment that is pretty much dominated by man? Has the landscape changed over the years? What problems do you face?
Where you girlish when you started working in IT and were there problems with acceptance?
If RMS was never born then there would be no GNU. There would be no Linux. There would be no Apache. There would be no mainstream, payable internet at that time. There would be no netbooks. There would be no 3G modems in laptops. There would be no Android. The Intel atom would have never been created. There would be no Firefox. There would be no... well... want me to go on?
The excuse for not supporting a monopoly. As soon as they withdraw their promise, which is not possible BTW, they'll no longer have a monopoly and then it wouldn't matter anyway...
"But as long as we're talking about the sake of Fuck: My post was modded funny for a reason." Never judge a person, judge the content. That is wisdom. Thought that you might needed it...
"Are you really complaining that someone picked on you [...]" Are you really convinced that I should have taken his comment seriously? FFS his post is modded flaimebait for a reason.
Next thing that happens is that you're stepping in and adding heat, trying to cause a flaimewar.
No, 'sir', you are the one here who has still a long way to go. And that is sad, because you are already way older than me.
Not to mention the fact that with a day worth of salary you can buy a tenfold of these things...
It's like driving ten extra miles to a store where you can get a 5 dollar discount. "Yeah but I save 5 dollers!" -"Yeah and you pay 6 dollar worth of fuel, you complete retard!"
Sorry for the obviousness and the rant, but hey, this is the internet:)

Sony Vegas killer.
A beacon? Never heared of Kdenlive (http://www.kdenlive.org/) ?
The 'Penguin Land' already has a Sony Vegas killer. It's the AmaroK of video editing. It's Qt4.x and because of that cross platform.

Thanks for the information though.

"Either."

"How old am I?"
Mentally or physically?
Well maybe I set a bad example. Incorrect example.
But you'll just have to read between the lines.
I will not deny that you and smooth wombat are indeed correct ;)

No, 'sir', you are the one here who has still a long way to go. And that is sad, because you are already way older than me.
Yeah. It's still the best intro ever created.

And don't tell me to get of your lawn because your on mine ATM.
