Folks - ID does not *NOT* believe in evolution. They explicitly do. What they don't believe is that how monkeys changed into humans, and how the first forms of life came about.
If you read any of the newer ID texts (I had the unfortunate misfortune), one of the things they say is that Noah's Ark need not contain *ALL* the species in the world. One pair of hooved animal, one pair of birds, one pair of dogs, one pair of... All you need is about 46 base pairs of mammals, IIRC. Then, after the ark settled down in Turkey (why doesn't God put any artifacts down where people can actually find them? I know, I know, this is another test of your faith), the pair of canines bred and turned into the whole canine family, the pair of equinine turned into all the horse family and so on and so forth.
As you can see from above, not only do they believe in evolution, they also believe in IMMEDIATE AND SPONTANEOUS macro level evolution - how many years between the ark settling down and when history noted all the different species of dogs? Not too many, I'd think, certainly not more than a couple of hundred years, iirc, because didn't the Egyptians already had different kinds of animal from the same family?
This brings up an interesting point - quite a few people attack muslims for not speaking out louder against islamic fundamentalists, saying it is their responsibility to do so.
I'm curious how that view is applied to ID christianity by normal (as in, non stupid, non-lying) christians - should it be their responsbility to speak out against ID as well?
not necessary true. You're thinking infallible "whoever maintains the illusion". Whoever that is _may_ not be infallible, and you might be able to pierce the illusion without them know _OR_ able to fix it.
That would also explain the whole universe is a closed loop from a few front pages ago.
Trying to buffer overflow this system would be interesting. And if it leads to a bluescreen, oh well.... see you in another 20 billion years.
Does it freaking matter what the market share is/will be? All they are asking for is a percentage of it. If the market share is *0* percent, then pay them a big fat ZERO. I can't believe there are still people who can't see through the spin on this.
Why the hell are comments like this marked insightful?
*waaa* I can't download via p2p, all the free stuff I want, at work
Either go home and do it, or work with your IT. If you have a business need to download linux distros, it's up to your ork IT to provide that to you. If you don't, well, go suck at Microsoft's teat.
I used to run a firewall, and I allow out what is business appropriate. If that includes bit-torrent, so be it.
You're really silly. The issue is not about humans destroying the earth. The issue is about humans screwing up the environment enough that the new environment cannot easily support the current population *AND* lifestyle.
If you take out the current coastlines, we have a lot less land to live on.
If the weather gets a lot more temperamental and extreme, your summers will go up by 10-20 degrees, and your winter goes down by another 10-20 degrees, what happens to you and your lifestyle? You can always pretend to be an eskimo in winter, but is that what you want to do?
NCAA is one of the stupidest organizations ever. I was on my school's rifle team. I finished my degree in 3.5 years. I went on to do a masters. Instead of the 4 out of 5 years, they told me I could only do 3 out of 5, because my high school diploma did not have enough social science or some such. Taking sociology and psychology did not count as those were college classes, not high school classes.
Since I transferred from overseas, I had those damned classes, but the NCAA regulations was so stupid, and prevented me from participating. And it wasn't like I was a dumb jock - I finished a civil engineering degree in 3.5 years, and had a gre/gmat/sat score that would in good company at any ivy league school, and completed half of the pre-requisites (2 semesters worth) for my MBA in *ONE* day.
So, instead of encouraging someone like me to continue in sports, they locked me out, 3 times all conference team member.
there's this useful website that can be used to search for information. It's called google. If you go there, and type in things that the original author refers to, such as tilt bits, information magically appears.
Here's a tip. If you include the terms in " marks, it searches for words that appear together. So, try
You forgot the other thing. IANAP, but from all reports, KDE's internals is very clean and neat, and easy to get into.
GNOME, otoh, is freaking spagetti bullshit.
I remember trying to build gnome from source years ago - oops, this needs version 12beta2 of that. but that needs version 13beta3 of this. can you spell circular dependencies?
Never understood the attraction of that POS gnome.
Unfortunately, with friends like redcrap, do we need enemies? I haven't followed the redcrap company's shenanigans - have they stopped trying to screw KDE over?
this actually happened (afaik, no, I didn't check snope, yadda yadda). I was in alt.tasteless about 10+ years ago, when the ER nurse/friend posted that story. Pretty cringe inducing, lemme tell you.
same thing applies to redcrap fanbois. Watch this post get marked down. Redcrap is the *worst* linux distro. Especially when there are open issues against the rpm, and redhat admits it, and then marks it "WON'TFIX". Bah. And I'll bet most of those redhat fanbois are actually fedora lusers anyway.
for someone who posts with a link to the c law guild, you're pretty ignorant about what happened, aren't you? I know, I know, it's claw guild. Still, a simple google would have given you the facts.

Well, then we'll just have to take away your Linux license. Please turn your card in at the local OS adjustment center
"sudo port install wget" gets me wget. Ditto for a whole bunch of other things. What are you missing?

Apparently, there's a piece of software called the Time Machine that does just that. You may have to change OS and/or hardware to get it though.
