    This could be McAfee's only way to beat norton. Think about optimizing mcafee for intel chips. It wouldn't be hard to outperform norton- but I've never slated mcafee as a contender until now perhaps..

    I'll put it this way, it's an enemy to science because even those with no malicious intent can be brainwashed by it, go out and vote for creationism during the next election, and screw up everything.

    That does pass Occam's Razor!

    Theory 1. God Exists. God Created Everything.
    Theory 2. Everything Exists.

    Theory 2 looks pretty simple here.

    Ok, let me help you with some critical thinking:

    1. We observe that life exists.

    2. You propose god created life. Scientists theorize that life grew out of a chemical soup.

    3. You propose that since we have not replicated the chemical soup effect, it cannot be proven.

    You must see the error in your reasoning skills. But since you clicked submit, I'm going to assume you don't. Let me finish your logic train.

    3b. By the same logic you debunk evolution: Scientists claim since spontaneous creation by a supernatural deity cannot be replicated, and no objective evidence exists, it cannot be proven.

    The same objective evidence exists for both theories: life exists. But the problem is that when applying a theory, the best theory is one that has the least number of unnecessary variables. (i.e. God).

    Religion by definition is the enemy of science. It's believing something without evidence. The minute you have evidence that religion becomes science.

    I'm going to have to disagree with you there. Abortion is a valid choice for terminating a pregnancy. It's not illegal, and it's very much a real option. You don't have to teach that it's good/bad, only that it exists. Sexually active teens should be aware of their options, even if you don't agree with them.

    The seatbelt laws are designed to maximize your chances of staying seated properly to maintain control of the vehicle. If every time you got in a fender bender of some sort and bumped your head or got knocked around the car a bit, you wouldn't be able to reach the steering wheel and brakes fast enough to avoid doing more damage to additional cars and people in the area.

    It's for my safety not yours.

    Sadly, I'm betting your argument trumps this guy's lawyer's. Lawyers always avoid the obvious because it doesn't hedge the bets.

    Exactly, that's the bit that's clearly missing from everybody's argument here. Hosting a webserver is an invitation for people to see what the server is serving. If you're too much of a dolt and put sensitive information on a webserver, how is it anybody's fault for seeing that information? There's no unauthorized access.

    This is the same as google changing their mind retrospectively that they didn't want people on google.com.. I guess we'd all be criminals, since accessing information on a webserver is only allowed at the whim of the unpublicized thoughts of the company hosting it.

    John, you know what the problem is? The lowest common denominator will always rule the box office. We'll always be stuck with that formula.

    Good point, the free market can sort this out. I'll just dump comcast and sign up with my local dial up. That'll show them.
