I live in a fairly Liberal area (nothern delaware) and we were told at the start of biology that evolution is a scientific therory and therefore what was tought in science class. Personaly beliefs were OK and that many people believe that evolution is guided by a higher power, but that is irrelevent so will not be a basis of any teching. There was no mention of ID (as it was a new buzzword at the time). That seamed perfectly acceptable to me, and to my fundelmentalist friends.
Honestly, the class that really posed the bigest problem for the fundementalists was earth scince.
I think the big fear, based on fact, is that people are pushing ID as a religious idea, and a way to bring religion into the Goddless science room.
The reason people are up in arms about ID is because school boards are trying to skirt the constitution by introducing a predominantly theological idea into public schools (there is a district in PA (I think) that has notes from board members basically being like, well we have to tech this Godless evolution, now lets use ID to bring him back in).
I am personally an athiest, and think that even though things are extraordinary, there was a lot of time for it to happen. I do think if there is any higher power that has any (even minor) interest in us obviously ID is a reality through at least minor guiding of mutations. To me the idea of a belief in God requires the belief that, at the very least, evolution is guided by ID. But that doesn't mean it should be in a science class. From what I am seeing ID could be its own class.
Actually more likly to be lobbying by a union. And it may be a reputation thing (like carpenters) or an enforced thing (like electricians). It just seems far more likly that programers would want the benifit of being a selective group than that the media companies want to do that to them.
Times have certainly changed since the first bubble, but centuries of time will do that.
The first bubble I know of (and it was international, much like real-estate today) was tullips. The markets all across europes were devestated for decades because of, and they banned the act of selling product that does not exist in many of them.
A large part of the 90's tech bubble was OSS though, we only need to look at VA Linux to see that.
The ability to detect light and dark has advantage in some situations (presumably liklyhood of being close to plant matter) (one light sensitive cell).
Next is the ability to directionally detect light (to seek plant matter) (a few light sensitive cells in different places).
After that is the ability to detect shapes (many light sensitive cells).
What I find more suprising is the pervasiveness of 2 eyes per a body, but if it was very benificial real early on it would have stuck.
I've heard the eye as an impossibility example, but it just seems so easy to explain (unlike wings for example).
I would think you would use gaps in the fossil record to claim that clearly there was no intermediate (how big a gap is valsification, I do not no).
You would try to demonstrate that there is not selective process (except any creationist I know believes taht species can change, just not dramatically and even split necisarily, fruit fly experiments demonstrate how quickly an isolated group can speciate, it is harder to show a hot to cold blooded example in fossil records since it is hard to determine)
You would find examples of "impossible" evolutions (oppsosable thumb, some beattle that squirts hot liquid).
These are all examples I have heard, I do not agree with them.
I think part of the difference is not just that it is falsifiable, but that it explains things. ID does not explain how anything happens, it says it is impossible and therefore was a series of miracles. Evolution says it is a matter of lucky bithdefects. We can make predictions based on Evolution, we cannot on ID.
deafault to caching/indexing the whole work and providing snippits.

I do agree that it is most likly a copyright violaton (full copy used for prophit), but it is still no different than their web indexing. And just as they listen to robots.txt they will listen to the author.
It also happens between computers with word, and even sometimes between printers. It also can happen between the print preview and the print.
There are compatability settings in Word to help make it backwards compatable, but they are not automatic.
As for printing, the most reliable way is to print to file using a postscript printer and then dragging the.prn file onto Acrobat Distiller and using Acrobat to print FWIW.
If being captured on the battlefield against US soldiers is enough to hold someone why do their other rights need to be stifled?
maybe for example they were working as a doctor on the battlefield in a humanitarian capacity. We will never know, and any innocents among them (and with that many people I would be dollors to doughnut that there are at least a few) will never even know what they supposedly did.
The UK citizens should certainly be returned to their homeland, or tried in America.

What makes Red Hat and SUSE proprietary Linux?
Red Hat was the a huge supporter of OSS and one of the last distros to always release a completely free version of their OS, now they only give it away to hobbiests and openly release all their developments before the paying customers get them.
Novel releases an OSS version of its OS and is also a big supporter of OSS, arguably bigger than SUSE who had taken a turn for the worse towards the end.
The only problem with Novell could be the use of their directory, but that is not a proprietary version of OSS, it is proprietary software that runs on OSS.
I think (as you seem to, this is not an attack on you, but on the greens) converting over to SUSE or Red Hat both fall into the category of "[clearing] the path for government agencies to adopt and expand their use of non-proprietary software"
The line editing and TAB completion sound like easier to implement features than the syntax and passing and all the other stuff that works and people seam generally impressed with.
I am willing to bet that the features you desire are put into the final version and that they just feal no need for a public beta on them.
Of course the other option is that it is primarily intended for scripting and not interaction, in which case shame on them.

tough break on the troll mod, not appropriate.
But how does ID help explain or predict anything? It is very vague, and can even include evolution (from my understanding).

I have pretty good (lower top end) machine from a year ago and was able to run at decent res and decent settings (but not high).
The card is a 6600GT and was $250 at the time (purchased after the computer, so may not be a year old).
The autoplay menu is the only way I can get Civilization IV to run, otherwise it fails teh copyright test.
I have autorun disabled, so I need to browse to it, but if it was gone I would be sad.

Novell has lasted how long?
SCO has lasted how long?
MS has $50,000,000,000+ in the bank.
MS will be around for a very very long time short of a lot of cataclymic stupidity.
Yeah,

How did that work for Kinkos?
It worked a while, but it all went to hell.
Note, the employees didn't own, but they had good prophit sharing at all levels.
Suspiciously large mail cost?
I can send a letter anywhere in the country for 32 cents (last I checked).
it seems very in-expensive to me.
no, junk mail subsidizes my mail costs.

I don't know the specifics, but rodents dhtml would have been safe.
For desktop we certainly have.
the return on 256MB when you have 256MB ram is huge,
the return when you have 512MB ram is not near as large, but still big.
On database servers that point is largly dependant on the database size, but for many uses has been hit too.
an example of design vs size in cache is the overclocked Celeron 300A vs the competing pentiums (speed being part of design).
for many application 512KB cache to 1MB is a small improvement, 0KB-512KB is tremendous.
