they also do not make babies that can continue to reproduce, and i think it was first performed in a lab. yes, i do believe that they are different species. together they make a mule (a stronger, larger, infertile donkey used for labor). in something like 200 years (maybe much more, i don't remember), there have only been 5 mules that happened to be able to reproduce.
so maybe we should just wipe out the human race, if that will be the answer to everything. it's funny that you're so opinionated, but you can't even post as a normal user. how on earth did an AC get modded so high with such a pointless post? people won't change, but they can be cleaner. alternative fuels is the only way to do that. power plants are becoming cleaner with stricter clean air laws and more emphasis on nuclear power. it's all how you look at things, and with a negative outlook like yours, you might as well just wipe out the human race... or yourself, since that'll be one less person trying to stop people from savign the environment.
black people can make babies with white people. just like different breeds of dogs can make mutts. species are 2 organisms that can't reproduce together. and that can happen because of molecular reasons, but it also happens because of other reasons (ie: they won't reproduce together because of geographic or morphological differences). that's how species are determined. you're right in thinking that dna plays a big part, but it's not the only part when it comes to speciation.
i do a lot of trading of taper/trader friendly bands. furthurnet is definitely cool. it's a p2p app that allows for searching of bands, show dates, sources, etc, etc, etc. it's pretty cool. it's open source too. it's ported to both linux and windows (not hard since it was written in java, which is the only bad thing about it). it also uses pcp (packet chain protocol) so users can piggy-back off each other. it's pretty cool. i wish more people with the shows i want used it though.
i throw out thoughts. it's not really to be read like a book, it's to be read like a conversation. like i'm speaking it, and if you speak in complete sentences all the time, then you are a better man than i. so you still haven't made your point clear and you've been proven wrote by at least 2 different people... when you have a point to make, make it, don't just critique the way i make posts on slashdot... and for the record, i did very well in english, and i write pretty damn good papers too, but i tend not to care when i make posts to slashdot.
speaking of english... another subject you can't just get certified in without knowing what you're doing... thanks for the idea...
certification says you can read a book and answer tests. colleges require projects and tests and more hands on work than certifications do. you don't get that hands on work just by taking a certification test. most anyone that knows anything about a computer can get A+ certified, but they don't necessarily know how to do the work. same thign with an mcse, they know the basic concepts and when you would use something, but they don't know the more in depth stuff. certification is for training monkeys to do something... college is to actually do beyond that. the coursework required by college courses is more than is required to get certified (meaning you don't have to do any work to get certified other than take an exam). i don't think college will ever be obsolete, at least not for the majority of fields... you can't just get certified in bio. there's too much knowledge required. like the other guy said... certification is like a vo-tech school, not college. it's more of a trade than anything else.
the only thing rabbit-like about it is the buck teeth. the fact that it is an older member of the theropod group should make it obvious that it evolved into the rest. what kills me is that cnn calls it "rabbit-like" suggesting that the whole thing is rabbit-like. the artist's rendition of it makes it look like a primitive bird with a rabbit head. even in the article itself, they say it lacks a lot of the bird-like features that other dinosaurs have, but if it's older, of course it will lack more of those features, they haven't evolved yet. seems to me like cnn needs some better evolutionary biologists and paleontologists working for them.
last i knew the puritans wanted religious freedom which they could not have in england. at the time it was the king's way or no way, so they had to leave... either way... this country (at least what it is now, although the natives do believe in a Great Spirit) was founded under God.
first off... that's connecticut for all of you who don't know...
we use voting machines with different rows. you go in, pull a lever that closes teh curtain behind you, and then you flip little "mini-levers" to vote for people. for the single party voters who don't care, there's a lever that will cast a vote for the whole party for every office that someone's running for. you can change your vote as much as you want until you pull the lever again to open the curtain. once you do that, the "mini-levers" all go back and your votes are tallied. sure i think it's possible to tamper with the machines, but i honestly don't believe that there is any truly tamper-proof method unless it's made by god and god does all the tallying. wait... that's a religious comment... those aren't allowed in the united states anymore, even though the country was originally founded under god for religious freedom... but that's another debate.
anyways, i think the CT method is really good and i am surprised all the states don't use it. they even provide a little "sample" one at the voting places so if you have no idea how to use it, you just play around. they aren't new machines, they've been use for as long as i can remember.
a million dollars goes a long way when you're updating from punching holes in a piece of paper... man, you can give them actual pens to fill in holes like on college exams and that's a huge update.
i actually heard a radio ad for some new herbal thing that gives you "a cut body that women want". whether or not it's true... that's for you to decide... i also hear lots of ads for maximus or testosterall to increase the male sex drive (like the male needs an increased sex drive). those both make you "the sex machine" and "animal in bed that your lover wants". could they be the same company? probably...
you are right... the problem is not the children these days, it's the parents. if you notice... most parents don't actually parent their kids, they spend about 75% of their week in school, day care, babysitters, etc, etc, etc. their parents get weekends and evenings. not a whole lot of time with their kids. now that's just the older parents (late 20's to 30's). the younger parents just don't have a clue because if they did, they wouldn't have the kid to begin with. then there's the whole "spanking a kid is bad, discipline is bad". i was spanked when i was a child, i turned out to be pretty damn good, i'm not a psycho or anything. all the positive reinforcement people are out of their minds, that doesn't quite work too well.

here's soemthing else... i just heard a news story last night about an attack squirrel. it was just randomly jumping on people out of the trees and attacking them. it wasn't just biting their ankles, it was literally attacking them. probably had rabies, but it's still crazy.
i fell asleep in the theatre the first time i saw it. the second time it wasn't as bad, but it was still kind of a pointless stupid movie. unless you like special effects eye-candy, the movie didn't have much of a great plot and, therefore, was pointless. keanu is one of the worst actors i've ever seen (should've stuck to the "surfer dude" type acting as seen in bill and ted). it was just plain senseless, and completely unrealistic (at least some of the other fantasy movies can be _somewhat_ realistic, but not this one.
damn that's cheap... but then you gotta consider the cost of buying a computer that will actually run winxp. my 466 didn't do it too well (with my pirated copy). but you can pick up a computer for $50 that will run linux (for $8) no problem. and you can just choose to do a network install (debian kicks ass). i went to the university of connecticut and they had student discounts on software, but it wasn't anywhere near as cheap as $5 for winxp or $30 for VS.Net.
actually... windows 2000 is windows nt version 5. windows me is version 4.9 of the 9x kernel. i have no idea what the hell winxp is. just a piece of crap in my opinion. but you're right... version number means nothing, it's just relative to the other releases of a single piece of software by a single company. aol seems to increase it's versions by 1 whole number everytime they make a slight change, debian makes big changes when they change their version number. i remember when 2.2 was release, i had originally thought woody was 2.3, but it's now 3.0, big jump, but there's probably enough changes to warrant the big jump.
ummm... comparing a bsod on win2k to a bsod on win98 is like comparing apples and oranges. win2k is the best, most stable os ms has released, win98 is nowhere near as stable (much more stable than win95 and winme). it's much harder to get a bsod on win2k and usually means a bigger problem than reboot and it works.
wow, that's interesting... i never noticed that before. so all of us homophobes who "love vagina" are grossed out by a vagina... weird... i also noticed he's married...
he couldn't just shutdown the computer like a "newbie" would. he specifically said that X did not agree with his non-multisync monitor and he couldn't see anything to do anything, so he just shut it off. probably the same thing my parents or girlfriend would do if they didn't have me to call and bother with every little computer problem. i think it was a valid solution to the problem, and it turned out to be a good test of system recovery as well. i know my linux box goes through fsck every time it loses power without being shutdown properly, and it takes forever to bootup after that (of course mine is a p120 with 64 megs of ram, but that's besides the point). the best recovery i think i have seen by an OS was BeOS. i watched a demo of it and i think it booted up within 10 seconds after the guy just pulled the plug on it. it was pretty impressive. that was the time it took the OS to boot, not counting the bios. if linux could do that, i'd be very impressed.
