  1. Re:Pathetic.... on UK Reconsiders 1986 Decision To Ban Astronauts · · Score: 2, Interesting

    There only is one "private astronaut program".

    And it's funded by a British company.

    Was "some program" made by "some guy I met in the pub"?

    Only on slashdot would someone be stupid enough to claim that overthrowing the Shah was "wrong".
    Are you perhaps confusing 1953 (Mosasadeq overthrown by CIA coup) with 1979 (Shah chucked out in home grown revolution)?

    "full qwerty"? It's a 4 row keyboard, like all the other windows mobile stuff.

    Nice screen tho.

    And over here it's twice as cheap as the E90
    Who cares about money. We're talking serious gadgetry here.

    Supports up to 2GB miniSD card
    Huh? Not SDHC? Eurgh.

    (Also my E90 is prettier - nya nya nya).

    iPhone: 115x61x12 mm, 135g

    Ok, it's a bit thicker and heavier than an iPhone, but nowhere near twice the size, and it fits in my pocket.

    (It's an E90 if that interests anyone.)

    but how many of your "phones designed by checklist" have a 320x480 screen
    Mine has 800x352. Does that count?

    The phones themselves may not have built in restrictions, but AT&T's terms of use sure as hell do. Any heavy bandwidth usage over edge can subject you to cancellation of service - edge is even explicitly restricted to "(i) Internet browsing; (ii) email; and (iii) corporate Intranet access."

  18. Re:Contradicts herself on Bill Allows Teachers to Contradict Evolution · · Score: 1

    You continue to confuse "evolution" - the observation - with "Darwin's theory of evolution" - the theory.

    There is no scientific contest to the authenticity of evolution, and hasn't been since before Darwin wrote "Origin".

    There has been contest as to the correctness of his theory, but it's the last man standing.

  19. Re:Contradicts herself on Bill Allows Teachers to Contradict Evolution · · Score: 1

    I know that there are more scientific views to how we got to where we are than evolution, but evolution happens to be the most widely accepted science-based explanation.
    Evolution is an observed fact.

    Darwin's theory is a the only successful scientific theory to explain that fact.

    What other theories of evolution do you know of?

    (I detest the confusion caused by people who confuse evolution with the theories that explain it. It's as if you confused gravity with Newton's theory of gravity).
