And why, pray tell, would the people who wrote down the bible use the word "day" when they really meant "millions of years"? This kind of "re-explanation" of the bible has been going on for hundreds of years now. It used to be that the 6 days of genesis really were 6 days. It used to be that stoning the unbelievers was the thing to do. Advances in science and changes in society have chipped away at the bible little by little. In the end, there will be nothing left.

are they still using 16 bit samples 44,440 times a second?
I don't think anyone has ever used a sampling rate of 44440 Hz unless their audio clock was way off. 44100 is a standard audio rate, although high-def TV (and presumably DVD) uses 48000.
Gabriel believes that making the pricing information public would 'implicate [sic] very real antitrust concerns' as the labels are not supposed to share contract information with one another
Why is there a "[sic]" in there? That is in fact how you spell the word, and it is used correctly in that context (having the meaning "imply" or "entail").
Uhm, that's about some guy selling one (1!) unit on eBay for $120 back in March. It says nothing about that being the regular price for this drive, and I still don't see this drive available in any stores.
Anyway you can find plenty of hd-dvd and blue ray drives for PC,
Are you sure about that? I just spent some time looking, and the only one I could find was the $750 Sony Blu Ray drive. It appears there are no other PC drives for sale at this time, other than as part of a complete system.
For me, cost of electricity in the base-tier is 11 cents/kWh (PG&E). The top tier rate I'm paying is over 30 cents/kWh. That's 4 tiers up from base tier I think. I don't know if there are any tiers above the 30 cents/kWh tier. I looked in to getting solar panels, but even at 30 cents/kWh the break even point is way too far in the future. A $9K windmill might be worth it, but the neighbors would likely complain, and when electricy is needed most (summer) there is usually barely any wind.
Which part of "will totally destroy any village from which missiles are fired toward Israel" did you not understand? To use your analogy: you pull a gun on an armed person, and that person shoots you and everyone who happens to be standing near you. And that's not supposed to be a crime? By that same logic, the USA would have been completely justified in carpet-bombing Afghanistan with nukes after 9/11. Heck, since Osama is still at large and supposedly in Pakistan, your logic says that the total destruction of Pakistan is justified.
That doesn't explain the price-explosion in the S.F. Bay Area, where most home sales appear to be existing homes, not new ones. Hmm, maybe that means *more* illegal aliens are needed...
...US citizens who have dual citizenship by being citizens of another country besides the US
Isn't that the *only* way to have dual-citizenship?
What I was talking about was that someone can be born in the US as the child of a foreign parent, making them a natural born citizen by definition, while at the same the other country recognizes the child as a citizen too, virtue of being born to a citizen of *that* country. Therefore, the child will be both a natural born citizen AND have dual citizenship, which according to you are two distinct types of US citizens.
There are 2 main types of US citizens, natural born and naturalized (along with dual citizenship which is similar to naturalized).
Bzzt. My son, due in a few weeks, will be a natural born citizen AND have dual citizenship.
Also, does being a natural-born citizen somehow make you better than somebody who actually had to WORK at becoming a US citizen?
Uhm, what country are you living in? It is REALLY HARD to find good people. Hundreds of resumes means nothing if they're all mediocre. I've interviewed many people who were just plain no good. That includes people with years of experience at other companies. I guess it's just really easy to stay under the radar at big companies. Just because Sun layed off 5000 people doesn't mean that there's now suddenly an extra 5000 skilled people to choose from.
If you recall, the Japanese menace was in fact a Stock market bubble combined with a bank that loaned money to too many people.
Sounds like the current housing bubble with mortgage lenders eager to lend money to people who can't afford it. I haven't yet figured out how to blame foreign workers for that though.
I think it is you who doesn't grasp the concept. Influencing the environment on a grand scale is a skill we humans have. It's our fitness. Because of this, the choice for humans is not to evolve or die out. There is a third choice, which is to stay the same and make sure our environment continues to support us.
Survival of the fittest does not apply to humans in the same way that it applies to animals. People that would have been considered "unfit" in previous centuries lead normal productive lives because of technological advances. We've learned to adapt the environment to our needs, rather than adapting to our environment. "survival of the fittest" doesn't mean that humanity should die out while some other species that can stand the heat steps up, it means that humanity should use that ability to manipulate the environment and reduce global warming.

It's even more like making photocopies at the store, then taking those home and reading them. Or do you normally download and watch your movies at the DVD store?
It only takes the copying of works having a total retail value of more than $1000 within a 180-day period to make it a case of criminal copyright infringement.
Bush claims he is not bound by any laws. The Attorney General agrees with him. How would *you* define dictatorship?
"free speech zones", reprisals/threats against people not toeing the party line. Sure sounds like he's suppressing things.
Industry controls government, which is even worse.
Invading other countries, citizens with guns at the borders, mainstreamconservativepundits allying themselves with white supremacist groups and repeating their talking points. If that's not extreme, you're certainly well on your way.
With all the "patriots" talking about how they'd love to go to Iraq (if only they weren't too old, too sick, etc) and kill them some sandniggas, it's only a matter of time before racism becomes an acceptable political platform (see also point 4). Right now, the administration's policies are mostly working against the poor, which just happens to include minorities.

Having an open mind is fine, but you shouldn't open it so far that your brain falls out.

"complicity" is not an entity.

So as a conservative, you voted for Bush's spend-and-spend policies. How odd...

Those "anaerobic critters" didn't *think*. That's the difference between us and them. We can *plan* how we want to change the environment.
