    There is no scientific research that opposes ID. I thought the whole problem with ID being a theory is that it is not falsifiable.

    ID says what. Evolution says how. Stop confusing the two.

    You paid for the original broadcasting, which also cost money. Now you will be paying for the interim storage and all the work it takes to stream it over the 'net. That costs too, and you haven't paid for it.

    Open Source licenses allow "release early, release often". They do not require it. There is no need to buy in to some idealogy just to use a license.

    No, you are a moron because you were born that way.

    You were called a moron in this thread because you lied in order to make a sarcastic remark about NASA scientists.

    People need to be reminded, or taught, that the OS is just another piece of software that can be replaced just like any other.

    Why? Apple has the right idea. The vast majority of people wish to use a computer as they do anything else -- as a single, integrated unit. They do not want to care about operating systems, nor should they.

    I am posting this from Debian, using Iceape (mozilla), but I regularly use Windows for both work and at home. I do not find Windows limiting in most aspects. Frankly, if Windows had real virtual desktops, I wouldn't run Linux on my workstation at all.

    But, of course, you are a zealot, so there's no chance of reason making a dent in your opinion.

    Those loyal to the Crown were not forced to become un-loyal. They were simply not required to be in order to be law-abiding members of the colonies -- and later states, in the New World.

    If you want a good example of a form of government being forced on a population, look to Iraq.

    The goal of the GPL is not to force distributors of code to "give back", so it should not be a slight if they do not do so. The purpose of the GPL is to force distributors to allow users to change the code as dictated by the requirements of the user.

    The GPL allows a community of code. It does not require it.

    Doing something bad is bad, even with provocation. However, to say that it's as bad when there is provocation is ridiculous. Actions taken during the World Wars were bad, but there were legitimate security concerns at the time. Yes, there was fear and hysteria, but we were in the midst of REAL wars against nations that either declared war on us or actually attacked our shores.

    Today, these actions are like "Free Speech Zones" -- a deliberate attempt at removing every civil liberty from the Bill of Rights on down. To condone them is to condone a coup intended to replace the Constitution with a tyranny.

    It doesn't matter if anyone else does it, you can still bash Republicans. All you are showing is that it is ALSO correct to bash Democrats. The real answer is to bash anyone in power in this country. The US is the most corrupt country in the world, so bash away. At least the dictatorships in the world aren't pretending to be about anything other than power. Here, the politicians are simply lying hypocrites, which makes them far, far worse.

    I already believe there is no reason to respect the Law in this country. Articles such as this simply reinforce this belief.

    Most of the stink that Google has gotten into has been cases where the photographers went onto private property to take pictures of private property.

    People certainly have the right to complain in other cases, but there is no expectation of privacy, just a desire.
