What? If i read your gibberish correctly, unless one was thought that Darwin has been known to make mistakes one was thought a religious version of evolution?
WTF?
WTF are you talking about? I don't know what education is like in your cave, but i was thought why the theory of evolution was considered to be correct, the fossil record, lineage, genetics, it was all touched upon & explained.
The reason evolution selects for religion is because the religious are pretty damn aggressive, which might aid in survival. (Destroy the competition to provide one's own cult more place/food/water)
I'm probably feeding a troll here, but fuck it, this subject is important enough.
The problem with introducing "creation theory" (Hint: It's not a theory, it's dogma) into science gives it more credibility than it deserves (it deserves none).
After all, it's extremely unlikely that this guy is objective enough to actually admit that there is no evidence for 'creation theory', nor are there *ANY* peer reviewed studies whom might even give it *any* credibility.
Basicly, IT'S NOT SCIENCE AND DOES NOT BELONG IN A SCIENCE CLASS
Airbourne are what i'd call the 'Second coming of AC/DC', they're from Down Under, they're wild, and they have that Aussie ROCK sound!
I saw them this year on Judas Priest's tour, they were the first band to play, and they paled Iced Earth, Cavalera Conspiracy Theory and even Priest themselves.
Also, Sting's cover of Manfred Mann's 'Demolition Man' is horrible
While i have no love for Ted Nugent's personality or hobbies or political views, he's still a great musician and live performer, *THAT*, i do care about
I think the hardest part of the question is "What digital storage medium lasts 25 years"?
You can pretty much forget about CD-R's & DVD-R's, those get eaten by parasites, USB Flash keys will have a pretty high probability for corruption over such a long period aswell
Depending on the budget and data quantity, i'd go for non re-usable datastorage, CD's (of the non writable kind) are pretty damned resilliant, but might be out of your budget
You could also get ROMS, they tend to last pretty damned long, but data quantity might render this expensive
Basicly, digital storage is very fragile, you might have better luck tossing the pictures online with the cypher for the archive stuck in that capsule instead, but you'd still need a host wich will last 25 years....
Feel free to cry and moan about piracy, i'll continue to hunt down the old gems on eBay.
Also, not *everything* is available in compilations, atleast not the games i'm after (good ol RPG's and 2d platformers), my point wasn't an 'excuse', it's a complaint with the industry.
I have a nice CD collection, a DVD collection and a games collection (not always with matching consoles tho, emulation is more practical anyway, EULA's be damned), if it's worth the money asked, it'll get the money asked.
Retrogaming & Emulation is where it's at for me, keep your Duke Nukem Forever, i don't want it.
You severly underestimate the emu-scene, emulation is *a big thing*, and it's why i'm getting a Pandora.
Yes, this often involves Piracy, since the buggers don't sell their games anymore, i'd gladly pay afew bucks to download a Genesis or SNes rom, even a tenner for PSX games, but alas, I CAN'T because they don't want to.
Good thing there's eBay to score some nice retro stuff
It's called "Market Research", you check what the market wants for what price.
You try to match as much features you can for the most reasonable price.
I'm getting a Pandora so there!
Kids these days with their fancy filesystems...
The general computing knowledge of the current generation is woofully limited, oh well, better for us older fellas, more phish to catch.
Hell, kids these days don't even know Vista still has a cli....
This is *NOT* a bug in Ubuntu or linux in general, it's Microsoft violating it's own filesystem spec to have neat tricks in a crappy OS
What the fuck is the issue here? This is "normal" behaviour, Windows Vista sets the System bit (don't ask) on the directories, and that way they get mounted -ro for everyone but 'root'.
Ever heard of the command "attrib" on DOS?
Bug my ass.
There's only one reason why i'll get one of these, that's sync support with Linux platforms (evolution eg).
Yes, i'm assuming they'll figure out how to do that.

I lack beliefs you insensitive clod!
Actually, the evidence supporting evolution is overwhelming, the evidence to disprove it is only overwhelming in it's absense

You do know what the scientific method is right?
Get an Atheist to teach it, that way all religions will be treated to an equal amount of disdain (as they should!)
The reason evolution selects for religion is because the religious are pretty damn aggressive, which might aid in survival. (Destroy the competition to provide one's own cult more place/food/water)
Hurray for religion! *sigh*
Really? I thought religion has always been a source of conflict.
Conflict between the religious & the heretics, conflict between different religions & even conflicts between subsets of one religion.
Religion is antiquated, face it, religious folks are becoming obsolete, evolution has been favouring the more intelligent lot.
PS: I contend that religion itself has a genetic underlaying cause and is an evolutionary treat.
Idiot.

If you don't tell people about problems don't expect fixes, Fixes come *after* problem reports.
No R-Type? Dang :(

Crap, you're right, my bad
For crying out loud, *THIS IS NOT A BUG*! Bloody idiots, take an old MS Dos manual and look up ATTRIB, *READ THE FUCKING MANUAL*

Nope, FAT lacks the "owner" principle, the issue here is the 'System' bit. These are the file attributes FAT knows: - Read - Write - System
