Except that the premise is that the superpowers are the result of Human evolution, which is the basic premise of the X-Men. You also see similar story lines like the cheerleader doesn't want people to know she's a "freak." The Indian guy is not using Cerebro to find these guys, but you get the impression that he will find them.
There is no legitimate reason to strip the DRM from iTunes Store purchases. Apple has made great efforts to publicize how products purchased can be used (up to 5 computers, any number of iPods). So, there's no reason someone who buys music from iTunes should be surprised that there is DRM attached to the file.
I contrast this with CDs that have attempted to prevent users from copying songs to their computers. A customer who bought a copy-protected CD could reasonably expect to be able to copy those songs to their computer, because that is the way that most CD's work. The record companies have made little effort to communicate to the public how these CDs can be used.
The headline's construction is confusing (paraphrasing) Apple Denies, Researchers Confirm. Since deny and confirm are antonyms, the headline implies that the two parties, Apple and the researchers are in disagreement, which is not the case.
I'm reasonably confident that we would not have needed to release anyone from jail to put Ken Lay in jail while he awaited sentencing. If we would have to let someone out, I'm sure we could find a nonviolent person who was arrested for possesion of marijuana. It sounds like your friend's husband needs to be in jail, but that has nothing to do with this.
Let the market decide by choosing DVD for your movie format. HD is probably really nice, but it's not worth risking having to buy your favorite movie 2 more times if you pick the wrong format.
At $2799 the 17" MacBook Pro with a 2.16Ghz core duo costs the same as the 15.4" model with 2.16 Ghz core duo, one must assume a price drop is imminent on the 15.4" model.
I'm going to ruin it for you... In episode IV, the Storm Troopers set their blasters for stun and fill the room up with blaster energy (it was represented as concentric circles), and capture Princess Leia. Why on Earth wasn't this the default setting? Much is made in the movies about the Jedi's ability to block blaster fire with their light sabers, (and in Vader's case his hand). It seems like the obvious tactic against a Jedi is set for stun, knock the Jedi out, set for kill, kill the Jedi. No muss, no fuss. But they never do this...
Well, for one thing it's not really a review of anything; it's a story about Apple's transition to Intel chips.
He does note that some things are faster on the Intel iMac, and that some software will run natively, some will run with Rosetta, and some won't run at all. Anyway, hardly a review...
His argument is not an example of a straw man fallacy. It's an example of an ad hominem attack. Since you were wrong about the particular fallacy, your other point must also be wrong:) (That's an ad hominem attack for those of you not paying attention)
The difference is that in ID, no one tries to figure out how the intelligent creator was itself created. Whereas, scientists who consider the contradiction you identify are looking for explanations. In other words, ID is based on faith, and evolution is based on science. I think it's obvious which one has a place in the science classroom, and which one does not.
Children in ancient Greece were taught this story about the creation of dolphins:
Once, on one of his travels, when he was resting on a beach, pirates held him as their hostage because they thought that he was a prince. When he told them that they had made a mistake, they just laughed and continued to sail.
Suddenly, out of the sea sprang vines laden with grapes. They twined all over the ship. The air filled with the sound of tigers roaring.
Horrified, the sailors threw themselves into the water, but instead of letting them drown, Dionysus turned them into dolphins. That is why dolphins are one of the most human-like animals in the ocean.
If we were to teach ID in the science classroom, why wouldn't we have to teach this equally valid explanation of the creation of dolphins?
The problem with ID, is that eventually raises the question: If the world cannot be the result of millions of centuries of randomness, how can God, an omnipotent, omniscent, omnipresent entity, possibly exist?

I assume you mean cow shit...
Thanks for the TMBG quote! (That sadly no one will get)

What was a convicted felon, awaiting sentencing, doing on vacation? His ass should have been in jail.
Hire a fucking attorney who knows copyright law.
If there were a greater investment in grammar checking programs, the article's headline would be readable.
So, Apple has already done this with the fourth generation iPod, the color scheme of the scroll wheel was changed to make it resemble a nipple.
I assume part of your argument was that you are an adult...adults have found better ways to say "a lot" than "tons and tons and tons"

This happened Wednesday, winner announced Thursday, hardly news on Friday.
Wouldn't that be iPod accesory third?

Actually, it's Sam Waterston and O.J. Simpson...James Brolin must be on the crapper.....Watch out Sam...He's got a knife!

The Vatican has also come out against the idea that thunder is caused by angels bowling.
from my cold dead fingers!
Here's the link to the story you mentioned. This story also includes the infamous washing machine interview.
