    You rate them as 'plausible' or 'not confirmed'. If and when they are proven/disproven you rate them as 'truthy' or 'untruthy'.

    what if "he" is a she? or perhaps the aliens don't have genders like us. it seems like it causes too much trouble to be evolutionary beneficial. but then again, evolution seems to have proved me wrong already. damn you, evolution!

  17. Easy fix! on Firefox Vietnamese Language Pack Infected With Trojan · · Score: 1

    Surely, all they would have to do to fix this situation is push out another update with a spartan in it. That should take care of that pesky trojan, wouldn't it?

  18. Re:I Want My First Personal Linux Machine on Ubuntu 8.04 Released · · Score: 3, Informative

    The easiest way would probably be to use Wubi, which installs the ubuntu system as an application inside your Windows install (or something like that, haven't tried it myself as I don't have Windows installed).

    If you choose to install ubuntu on another drive and dual boot your ubuntu install should be perfectly capable at reading your NTFS partitions (helped a friend back up his stufs from a borked XP install just last weekend, worked great), I'm not sure about writing to NTFS partitions though, but it might work.

    What I'd really want was some way to have both the proprietary flash player and gnash installed side by side and an easy way to switch between them. That way, you could just use gnash until you hit some file that it has trouble with and then just switch over.

  21. Re:Survival my @ss on Darwin's Private Papers Get Released To The Internet · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I might be falling for a troll here, but you don't seem to understand what a "theory" means in the realm of science.

    A scientific theory is not just a hypothesis you come up with at 3am after having had a couple of beers. Scientific theories are constantly tested and examined.

    Any theory that is able to survive testing and questioning as long as Darwin's, is truly fit for survival.

    I might be utterly mistaken, but I was under the impression that the American English was the more conservative branch of the language.
    Wouldn't that mean that it is the English who have "mutilated" their own language?
