Something must first EXIST to eventually evolve. When you say that something must first have been created, you apply your preconceptions to a situation about which you have no information. That's bad science.
I happen to believe that God set in motion the universe that resulted in me arguing with you, but that is not a scientific belief, and it is absolutely open to modification as I learn more.
Arguing about faith is like dancing about architecture. Arguing about SCIENCE results in things like public sanitation and trips to other celestial bodies.
"If you don't like it then put more effort and analysis into who you vote for next time around."
That's a pretty stupid notion. There is no amount of effort and analysis by me that would result in anything other than a Republican or a Democrat's election to high office.
I buy the stuff I like, and I don't buy the stuff I don't like and/or can't afford. Fortunately for my budget, I'm not a completist, so I'm generally satisfied having one of each mold. I was able to find a Battle Ravage, so I'm not dying to locate Tracks.
Whatever craziness Hasbro might be into, it's still cheaper than buying imports (of which I have at least a dozen, including the reissued Fortress Maximus).
If you can show me where to get Binaltech for $25/ea, I'll be thrilled. So far, I've found no reliable sources for such.
Right now, I'm looking for Hound, because I don't like the readily available Swindle repaint.
Your full coordinate fix is in four dimensions: X, Y, Z, and time (since most handheld GPS units don't have an atomic clock in them). You need four satellites to precisely fix that location.
You can get less accurate fixes with fewer satellites because most units will make (pretty good) guesses and estimates, but you need four birds for a precise fix.

Right, because when you vote, it's always between one guy who's a crook and another guy who's pure as the driven snow, huh?
Yeah, because OS X doesn't have one of those command shell thingies. ...right.
Because the voters don't have a meaningful choice to make.
There's nobody to vote for.
Excellent. Hitler also used the de-humanizing of those who opposed him in order to get his way.
So is it OK when you do it, but not OK when others do it?
What "legitimate telemarketers"?
If you want to advertise to me, use your own hardware, or wait for me to come to you. Leave my phone alone.
That's only because DHS hasn't come up with a reliable (or even credible) brain wave scanner yet.
I wish I thought that thoughtcrime was going to stay science fiction.
Thinking about naked children is a great way to get on your friendly neighborhood sex offender list.
Could you maybe walk me through why I should respect politicians?
What makes you say that? You have to work hard to be a good parent. Why is that a shock?
You don't get to infringe on my liberties to make your job as a parent easier.
If your kid does bad things when s/he goes to the neighbor's house, don't let him go to that neighbor's house.
Talk to the neighbor. Tell him "Hey, what you do with your kid is up to you, but I don't want MY kid playing this game. Can you help me out?"
Abdicating responsibility by just saying "These games shouldn't be available to ANYBODY" is unacceptable.

Both will kill me dead. What's your point?
I think I don't care what you do. I don't understand why you care what I do.
If Macs are the best for you, use them. If they're not, don't. What does my opinion have to do with your value judgements?
"it's interesting to see how totally oposite things are praised as "cool"."
Yeah, it's almost like there's more than one person who post their opinions here. Shocking concept.
epaper has been "coming" for years now. It'll be nice when it happens, but don't hold your breath.
Wake me up when I can crease it and it won't break.
Uh huh, and copyright is for a limited period of time too.
You're good at telling fairy tales. Do you work for the Mouse?
"work after the content is public domain"
Hah. That's a good one. Don't hold your breath...

That wasn't what I was responding to.
How can you possibly argue that voice acting isn't acting?
"sorry, voice work isn't acting"
WTF?
Why do I need to use the standard quicktime player?
VNC works just fine.

I'd take that with an incredibly huge grain of salt. A GPS unit doesn't know if it's upside down or rightside up.

I think.
