Ok. Here goes (but it's late and I'm half asleep, so I'll try to do my best!)...
Evolution is fundamentally racist. Take, for example, when the first explorers went from England to Australia. They discovered the Aboriginal people and, very quickly, classed them as non-human---or at the very best a less-developed version of mankind.
Or take Hitler who believed that White people were superior to everyone else, and that other people (esp. Jews) should be destroyed. In doing so, of course, he believed that evolutionary `natural selection' was just taking it's course and that the `superior' `races' should get rid of the `inferior' ones.
This is completely different from the view that God created this world with one man, and one woman. If everyone decended from one man and woman there is no such thing as a `race' of people.
What we call different `races' are really the groups of people that separated at the event of the Tower of Babel (see Gen. 11). The separation of groups of people can quickly lead to different characteristics in the DNA coming out in the different groups. This leads to, for example, some groups of all black people, and some of all white. IIRC, there is less than 0.2% of DNA that changes all of the visible features in humans!
The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. (
Genesis 1:1, NKJV)
...not ``became'', which is often quoted, but incorrect.
There is no reason to add any length of time before this sentance, or even between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2 (the so-called `Gap Theory'), if the reader believes the first part of Genesis 1:1 (`In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth').
Just to let you all know that I've got an S3 Virge graphics card and I've been using XFree86 4.0 in Linux (2.2.{14,15}) since it was released without a single problem. It hasn't even crashed once!
I currently use CorelDRAW 3.0 in Linux through Wine, and it's quite useable. It runs at about the same speed as it would in Windows, and only seems to run into problems when I try and run it in `Managed' mode.
I don't know of any examples of bad EULA agreements that I have come across, but then I only ever tend to use free software, which doesn't (usually?) have that problem.
However, I did recently come across an article in Computer Weekly where some companies that licence software are being charged amounts of up to, say, £3,000,000 for anything as small as a company name change, all because of dodgy licence agreements and associated business. It's not something that affects every one of us, but it's still out there! IIRC, there is some campaign on to fight against these mad charges.
All this weight calculation seems a bit pointless to me. Assuming that the dinosaur was one of those long ones (135 feet long/22 feet high) then it possibly lived quite a lot of it's time in water.
There's a guy over at http://www.answersingenesis.org/ that builds dinosaurs. Last time I looked they had a link to a picture of one he had just built. They're fairly impressive. Check it out---I never thought that anyone could build dinosaurs on their own!
I suppose the questions is `does it really matter?'. My answer would be that, yes, it does. The DNS is really like a filesystem, with the TLDs being the entries in your root directory. I like to try and keep a filing system as clean as possible, with as few entries in / as I can. Opening up TLDs (by vote or otherwise) will probably only complicate things.
It's bad enough now trying to work out what a company's domain name is. What if they could be under several other tens of TLDs?
Slashdot Mirror
Have you tried holding down CTRL while shutting down? Supposedly it should ``force'' Windows 98 to shutdown...
Me... If I ever get problems I telnet in from my laptop and do a killall netscape, but is hardly ever gets to the stage where I have to do that.
Beef up telecom.
People's privacy is on the line...
SecurityFocus always seems to be fairly slow... perhaps they should upgrade? (Especially after begin Slashdotted!)
Eighty-four bugs max.
This also includes RedHat:
Moody cannot count!

Actually, the correct translation is more like:

It's like they're going back to the 80s and the old wireframe maze programs that used to be available ;-).
Or is that what Quake is? A maze program with texture mapped walls and nasties that get in your way!
I mean, come on guys, you mean you want me to get this so I can go back 15 years?!?

According to the press release at SGI the O2 was only released four days ago... or am I mistaken on this one?

I say they should use free software...
Amiga is old;
Is it coming back again?
Does it run Linux?
Anyone care to do the calculations?!

Does `negative' mean a sort of `constructive criticism' only? That's fair enough, but maybe they deserve to have negative comments...
