I don't know where it is either, and I believe that to be one of the main, if not only advantage of Cable internet, namely, most everyone has a cable hookup, or at least a way of getting cable simply. Fiber Optics, to my limited knowledge, requires a whole new system to be laid out, new pipes laid and everything. That takes time and money, and that's why we'll probaly still have these old dinosuars for a bit longer yet.
Come come now. There's nothing worse than someone who wishes to be taken seriously, but uses childish name calling in the same argument. "M$"? If your facts are good, as they seem to be, there's not need to resort to such things.
Hehe, yep, the flying Spaghetti Monster and the Invisible Pink Unicorn. The few times I enjoyed my "The Philosophy of God" class in college was when someone, usually me cause I liked to stir up crap in that class, was to pose questions like that, and hearing my professor say, "Well, that's off topic. Back to why god has to exist because Infinity can not exist." In my mind, that counts as a win for me on the big debate board.
One thing that I've always noticed with my dealings and philosophy classes with ID or any sort of argument that attempts to prove the scientific existence of "A creator" is two things. First, it's like arguing with a brick wall. My favorite response to people who hold to ID is this. "I believe that God created the whole universe 5 minutes ago, with everyone already in place, and all their memories in place, so they THINK that they've been here longer. But the truth is that the whole universe started 5 minutes ago." You can't argue with that statement, except for the fact that it's ridiculous, but logicaly, it can't be proven wrong, and, in accordance to a lot of the ID "teachings" that I've seen, if it can't be proven wrong, it's true.
Secondly, it's plan and simple bad science. It's science that attempts to explain something that by definition is unexplainable. Take, for example the Force, from Star Wars. What was the almost universal reaction when it turns out that it's not some kinda mystical force, but tiny parasites living in your blood? From what I've seen, people were upset and angry that they explained away all the mysticalisim.
To wrap things up, I'm not saying that religion is wrong, that's a debate for another time and place. But there are certan areas that religion should not go. I'm in Med school now, and one thing that keeps me up at night sometimes is what I would do if a small child was brought into the ER and the parents refuse to allow me to treat the kid. As they say, everything in moderation, including moderation.
True, this article does seem like an excuse to bash Vista, cause after all, hating Microsoft is cool. I've got Vista on my Alienware laptop, and i've never had a problem with it. Runs perfectly fine, the only issue is that I can't play my old school games on it, but I have DosBox for that.

What exactly is it you're confused about? What ID is? What the big controversy is? Why a school would teach a theological viewpoint as science?
