  1. Re:This is a good thing for Mozilla/Firefox on Mozilla's Thoughts On Google's Chrome · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but a good percentage of (equally clueless) people are starting to think that Google is the Internet. Those will probably switch just because google is telling them to.

    Read the comic.

    Google Chrome will have a "secrecy" mode in which your browsing is completely private.

    People are already calling it "porn mode"

    So, I understand that you are against intrauterine contraceptive devices?

    Because this completely uncontroversial and familiar contraceptive allows a sperm to join with an egg (and therefore creating a "human", per your definition) and then prevents it from implanting into the uterus wall.

    By your definition, a woman that has regular intercourse and uses this form of contraception kills a human being once a month.

    I think we need to separate "sentient" with "animate"

    A cow is certainly animate, but it is not sentient. ...unless you have been in a restaurant where you meet the meat (tip of the hat to the late Douglas Adams)

    Being a Christian is considered to be a life-long endeavour, not something you "just become". ...of course there's the whole "by grace alone, not by deeds" thing, but thats a whole 'nother debate.

    Making a philosophy joke hardly qualifies as "promoting a religion"

    You need to get single strings in appropiate gauges for that...

    While this hypothesis makes some sense, there should be at least some archeological record of mixed Cromagnon and Neantherthal remains, along with some weapons to prove it, no?

    One of my uncles still has an eighties Phillips CD player and it runs perfectly and with crystal-clear sound today.
