    These self-righteous asshole politicians should be ground up and formed into dildo-sized pieces then inserted into the ass of every voter who put them in power.

    Interesting input (from a real teacher!) Still, it does concern me that two biology teachers you know would teach Creationism.

    Regardless, good POV. Thanks!

    heh heh... Nope. Typical Creationist, demand evidence supporting what they propose and they scurry like roaches. Claiming they're scientists when all they do is make baseless claims against the facts is a lie.

    It is historically accurate and its veracity has been attested to throughout the generations.
    How was water transformed into wine? How did Jesus come back from the dead? If it's accurate then this should all be simple enough to replicate.

    I've asked you twice for even a shred of evidence to support the claims of Creationists that a god or gods made the universe. So far you've come up with sweet fuck all other than lame attacks on science. I'll ask again: give me a single iota of proof. Heck, I'll make it easier: don't even prove that a supernatural being or beings made the universe, just give us some proof that they exist, even one.

    "Don't assume a blind faith on my part. It is well-reasoned and thought out."

    What evidence did you use when reasoning this out?

    Reading whatever books are sacred to your particular religion just reinforces what you want to believe.

    Creationists invite debate

    Nonsense. The only "debate" Creationists have is when they attack hard science with pseudoscience. (ie.: Ken Hamm or that Dr. Dino kook) They paint their garbage with sciencey sounding things and superstitious people believe it.

    Again: WHERE IS A SHRED OF PROOF? Saying "The bible" isn't proof. I could say "Origin of Species" when you asked for proof of evolution but didn't.

    The bible? Those are just the storybooks upon which Christian mythology is based. Replicate one thing in the bible, say, make water into wine or at least show the mechanics in which that alchemy could actually happen.

    Going out for "liquid lunches" and smoking pot, dropping acid, eating mushrooms, etc. was common for me back in high school (early 1980s) and I did well in school. In fact many of the people who I hung out with back then doing the same things all well with their lives. All are quite smart, too (not saying I am ;)). It's mainly the jocks from then I see working at 7-Eleven or stocking shelves.

    Intelligent Design is not science. They have their hypothesis (ie.: a supernatural being made everything) but haven't a shred of evidence to back it up. Rather, the Creationists spend their time trying to knock down evolution.

    That's not how science works.

    Sharing your data among Windows, Linux/BSD and Mac users while maintaining the proper user and group permissions under Linux can be a pain.

    Netware is a decent server OS and never bombs out for us. There's a setup within our organization trying what you suggest. You can basically DoS the whole thing by copying a large file from one volume to another through NFS.

    How is it a big step forward? The only people who ever jump through copy protection hoops are the legitimate consumers. Even then many, myself included, use a no-CD/DVD crack so the originals are kept safe in the package.

    Publisher CDV [...] is using the TAGES protection scheme instead, in what it calls 'response to consumer demand'

    Funny, I would have assumed 'consumer demand' would demand no copy protection at all!

    This is just substituting horse shit with cow shit then having a PR hack spray it with perfume to make it smell like the company is doing you a favour.

    I'm sure the criminals, paedophiles, and terrorists will just be lining up to hand over their keys, too.

    That's the odd thing about this. You can get up to 2 or 5 years in the can (depending on if they think you're a terrorist). So if you have gigs of terrorist info that could get you sent away for life, just say you lost your keys and go away for 5 years max.
