That's me.
I don't know and don't care, but do wish people would stop using their unsubstantiated belief system to force nonsense down people's throats (especially poor gullible kids).
On your second point, I was discussing something similar the other day. Since creationism stands no chance of actually ever being accepted in the scientific community (being non-science), I can't see this 'debate' garnering any new support for Christians (I haven't heard of anyone who was converted by this nonsense), which only leaves a loss of support (people being forced to accept facts over fiction). So by pushing this nonsense, they end up narrowing their supporters.
"How much better off would we be if we finally cleared away all the religious baggage of Creationism and brought it inline with real science?"
Religion is not science. If you disagree, feel free to list one piece of science that creationism uses to confirm itself. You could have a course examining external causes and effects of the 'theory', but it is no way, shape or form science.
Except the chords are different across songs and chords are grouped into different buttons for different difficulties, you'd have to re-write every song at every difficulty and redo the whole interface. If they're really going to do this, they either need to lease the technology out to harmonix or make their own game and try to convince everyone to buy a third music simulator.
Managers should be asking for that sort of information when you're changing your entire business model. The limitations were known, but try explaining to your investors that your rate of return is half of Bear Sterns and the reason is some technical crap about underlying foundations of a model. The investors see Bear Sterns kicking ass for five years and think your company just doesn't have it, and jump ship to BS.
The entire fiasco (like tech stocks and whatever comes next, biotech or something) are all fuelled by investors demanding immediate returns.
That is huge compared to the historic rate of default.
Additionally a report out today indicated 4.5% of existing mortgage are at least 2 months in arrears, so I wouldn't cap your 5% yet.
The rising is okay, rising at 3 or 4 times the rate of inflation for a decade is a problem. It turns out people can't afford to live in those homes anymore. The overall cost of housing should be increasing linearly with inflation unless the percentage population increase is greater than the percentage housing units increase.
In your analogy, the EULA would equal a binding contract you enter into upon entering LA that was ten thousand words long written on a sign post as you speed by at 50 mph which defined a bunch of parameters outside of (say don't a knife on the same day you buy a ski mask) the written law (don't murder people).
The information is only useful as long as a reasonable amount is valid. A much better protest is to start changing info, uploading random pictures, videos, etc. the data they mine is less valid and they have to host more crap. I suck at coding, but wouldn't it be possible to have a program that did this with one click. It could also be a slow conversion to not alert admins.
The ruling has nothing to do with checking your emails. In this case, the guy visited sites, and they back tracked to find out who the guy was. IP spoofing is an issue, but only as much as other falsified documents, which are dealt with. As long as investigators are properly trained and realize that they need to follow some sort of procedure to confirm what they believe to be true, it's not an issue any more than any other accusation.
On a related note, last I heard there was 60,000 different cases (I assume that was any activity) that could be investigated, but they only focus on what I deem heavy users. I unfortunately don't have a link to confirm that and my brain isn't the best, but I'm pretty sure that was the number.
I like privacy as much as the next guy, but I assume this doesn't work both ways. If you are suspected of downloading child porn (as in this case, which is illegal despite what all the thought crimers out there think) the cops have a reason to locate you (same as if you were soliciting over the phone). As long as the cops aren't allowed to obtain the identity first and then look at your browsing habits after, there isn't really an issue. I have an expectation of privacy as long as I'm operating within the bounds of the law, but if I chose to violate the law, I have to expect that there can be repercussions. As long as in all cases where the IP is obtained, the cop can detail what steps lead to the searching for the IP, we're okay. The problem would be if a cop has a beef with someone or a political opponent that they obtain information on and then scour all the details after the fact, looking for the escort service or an anonymous post about drug use or what not.

wouldn't this work the same for last.fm?
How about, what name did you pick. Because it sounds like none.

To be fair, in the novel Gump was a savant and not just an idiot and was majoring in astrophysics (before joining NASA).

That people need a deity to tell them how to be a good person says more about how shitty a person they are than how great their god is.

I'm curious as to what the course requirements would be, since the entirety of ID is "God did it".

They aren't bad, just cheesy. Consider this, you still know those 'bad' songs decades later.
He doesn't own the distribution rights, so he's still stealing from the label.
I've put in my 10,000 hours of surfing, when do the cheques roll in?
If you've looked at a significant number of bureaus, you'll rapidly become aware that credit scores aren't particularly great either.
Which is why regulation is required, otherwise it's anarchy.

There is nothing on the hockey stick graph that eliminates the little ice age or medieval warming.

Maybe the submitter could RTFA.

Apparently you missed the inauguration.
