Allow? Are they not allowed to sell thier service that way now? I don't want the FCC to 'allow' cable companies to do this, I want the FCC to force cable companies to do this.
In Independence Day, they had an alien ship that they had been studying and presumably knew how to encode a program so the alien computers could read it.
or randomness exists and cannot be removed from the experiment
Randomness does exist in the universe. Quantum physics has shown us that.
so similar that logically they result in the EXACT SAME EFFECT
Of course they result in the exact same effect. They are both trying to explain how the WORLD WE CURRENTLY LIVE IN came about. The difference is that evolution looks at evidence and creationism looks at ancient mythology. The process of how it happened, not the end product, is the WHOLE POINT. The other difference is that with evolution, some other end result could have just as easily come about.
You are pre-assuming that there is a god. Intelligent design is not based on natural history. It is based on the refusal to consider evolution and the realization that if you talk about creationism, people won't listen to you.

· Score: 4, Insightful
Discworld needed to be represented in the list and TCoM was simply the first one in the series. I agree though that it should have been a better Discworld book. I'm not sure which one, but Small Gods is definately in the top 3.
I think you're missing the point. The music labels figure that a song will be popular because it is more expensive, and that less expensive songs will be less popular. The labels know what songs they want to have sell well. I think they are in for a big wakeup call.
It's not the killing that I mind so much, it's the locking you out of victory. When you get to the part of H2G2 where you are Zaphod, if you go through that scene without getting the key from behind the seat, you can't finish the game. If you go to that scene a second time after stealing the HoG, the guards kill you instantly.
Hey man, I never played the game. All I said was that I was told it had a great crafting system. I like complexity, but that sounds way too over the top to be any fun.
Of course the average game company will take aggrivating and addictive over fun any day.
From what I understand, Co(H|V) has no crafting. I'd like a game with a really good crafting system. I was in the beta for Horizons and I thought that had a pretty good system. I play Anarchy Online, which has an interesting crafting system but you can't really get into it until you get into the higher levels. I've been told that Star Wars: Galaxies had a great crafting system, but i'm not sure what's become of it now. I was also in the beta for Second Life which I think has the perfect geek's crafting system, but it's a bit too freeform for my tastes. SL is of a toy and online community than a game.
Slashdot Mirror
Keep in mind that there is nothing artistic about Ace Ventura: Pet Detective.
It's a graphical text adventure.
I couldn't figure out the command to get past the monk and get into the temple.
or did they not actually give a reason why they are trying to ban open source?

How many posters have their real names or other private information associated with Slashdot?
And me without any mod points.
No worries, it will be pumped up to +5 Insightful soon enough.

ID and evolution look at evidence and creationism
Evolution looks at evidence and ID looks at mythology while pretending to look at evidence.

Someone needs to show the cartoonist a mudskipper or a snakehead.

If intelligent beings evolve, Intelligent Design is verified.
How exactly is ID verified? At what point did anyone design the life that evolves in the new universe?
If anything the YEC'ers ought to be as against Intelligent Design as they are against Evolution- because they are one and the same.
Are you completely insane? Evolution is nothing even remotely like ID. ID and creationism are the same thing.
If you believe that event had a cause- then everything, evolution included, was a part of an intelligent plan from the begining.
Care to explain how you came to that conclusion? If the universe had a cause, why did that cause have to be intelligent?
Intelligent Design isn't opposed to Evolution- Intelligent Design is opposed to the idea of a meaningless universe.
Intelligent design is the idea that life was created by an intelligence. It is directly opposed to evolution.
...There would already be a fix available for it.

That's what I thought when I first read the headline too.
I don't care what anyone thinks..
I liked Jedi Arena for the Atari 2600!
Sounds like the two systems aren't mutually exclusive. Why not just have both?

Personally, I am of the opinion that Monkey Island 1, 2 and 4 should all be remade in the style of Monkey Island 3.
Anyone agree?

Any suggestions?
You do yourself a great disservice. You understand the real meaning of Christmas.
Jack Thompson might show up dressed in a santa suit and green fur and try to steal all the toys.
