Yeah, the bullshitters are back in a big way. This is the worst example of dot-com bullshit I've seen since the bubble burst. I bet he'll make a portal -- with Ajax!
I think your statement is in fact falsifiable. I've heard ID supporters who are otherwise scientists claim that that do not believe in a young earth. Therefore, you aren't really refuting what they believe in when they say "I believe ID."
I would opine about how India and China are going to become giant behemoths and own everything but I remember Japan. Remember movies about Japan in the 80s? Then remember the Japanese recession?
China and India are different. I'm just talking about India here.
Let's be brutally honest: we only outsource to India the dumb shit of life. They are like the Migrant Mexican workers, picking our vegetables or mowing or lawns or making the beds in the hotels: it's just some dumb shit we don't want to do. Calling to dink around with your account or reschedule your flight is just some other dumb shit we don't want to do, so we give it to cheapies cause, you know, what the fuck.
So, if I was India, I would be extremely scared, because one significant advance in artificial intelligence means everything in India gets re-outsourced to robots. Let's face it, there's nothing an Indian can do that you can't do yourself on a website, barring mere technical limitations.
My personal opinion is that "HDTV" and "HD-DVD" or whatever are totally missing the point. There's no point in buying one of these "flat panel televisions" -- just go buy a computer monitor. There's no point in getting hi-def content on a dead-plastic disc or from your dead mainstream media. It's all just going to be files on a computer.
That's only partly true. Hackers and script kiddies don't make Adobe Acrobat "phone home" every time it's opened. Hackers and script kiddies don't make me recite the nine thousand nine hundred ninenty nine names of god and walk the razor's edge that is to use the Microsoft toolset without falling off the knife's edge.
It's just more LIBERATING to use things like: Fluxbox, Firefox, the Shell, xpdf, mplayer. I feel real sorry when I see people flailing around, or worse, not even KNOWING how fucked up they are.
It's not so much the kernel as the crap software they have to run. For example, the newest Adobe Acrobat "phones home" every time you use it -- xpdf doesn't do that. Mutt vs. outlook -- when I get a virus email, it's a joke, it can't do anything. I feel extremely embarresed for people with their "spyware strategries" and all the crap they have to do to work around the fact that they are working from a flawed model. In the meanwhile, I use my far superior software, and feel extremely sorry for them.
The Kernel doesn't even enter into it. It's the apps. Mine don't constantly try to fuck me over. Their's does.
I switched from being a windows idiot to a Debian Linux slightly-less-stupid idiot 3 years ago after leaving a job at Microsoft and realizing I needed new friends. I only use Debian Linux at home, but I keep VMWare w/ W2k3, VS, SQL to practice for work; I keep WXP part for playing games and the needing to do the inevitable Microsoft crap this society demands, and am I'm doing quite well using Microsoft at work. I feel all cheap and dirty because I constantly point out to people how really sad I am for them stuck in their prison of idiocy, stupidicity, and crap, but what can I do?
The dummies I work with use Windows and I've no desire to be Martin Luther.
I don't think that's really the definition of "test" that here-to-fore has been considered a "scientific test." Tests are supposed to be repeatable sequences of actions which people can independently perform, along with "control" cases. The key definition of all "scientific tests" involving gravity involve making hypotehesis about things and then moving forward in time, and seeing the results.
So, we seem to have at the very least in evolution an expanded definition of "science", at least with respect to the dimension of time.
A proper test of evolution would be to have some species, propose they will evolve a certain way, and then verify that they do indeed evolve that way.
Working backwards in time you can always interpret and select whatever phenomena you wish to fit your theory.
Meekly, the voice cries out int the wilderness, before the thought police mod him to -2, "this is exactly how the religious zealots used to act in the bad old days!!! At the crazy fringes of quantum physics it's not much different from zen buddhism!!! How can you jive this hostility to "magical thinking" and at the same time not scoff at the Matrix as ridiculous idiocy of a madman! Help, Help, I'm being repressed!"
If the Hitchhiker was a Sci-Fi, I must have missed it. All I knew about that show was it was a fairly reliable way to see 'tang on HBO in the early days. Except on perhaps the first 3 episodes when that chick from Designing Women showed her beaver (or was it just her tits?)
This shit has got to stop. The government has no business doing this kind of thing. It's obvious they're not trying to prosecute people, they're trying to create a climate of fear. This is fine for terrorism. But not for perverted sex. That's creepy.

I would like something that plays like the Old School Kings Quest / Space Quest / LSL series, with the old school typing of the commands, with the old school simple dialect. They were fun!
Nowadays they keep trying to "improve" on that but it's missing something. The gameplay was fun!

Paul Allen is indeed a homosexual. As is Charles Simonyi. (Not a joke.) Geez, I thought this had been common knowledge for about a million years.

Search engines come, and search engines go. Will the last one please shut out the lights!
I wonder who's gonna occupy the SGI buildings next.

My 2cents.
Those who do not understand unix are condemned to reinvent it, poorly.
I dont' think I've ever seen a more apt example of this aphorism.

Is Evolution testable? Is it falsifiable?
I saw some HTML + webified versions of Office when I worked there. Probably around 2000. They cancelled it. I wish I could remember more about it.

Microsoft reorgs every 18 months come hell or high water. It's just part of the normal routine.
I can't believe you missed the most useful use: holding your roaches.
I will teach high school math. You know, all that Stand And Deliver crap. The kids will be a drag :-)
