Not that I accept the offhanded dismissal of ID and irreducible complexity...but I'm obviously not going to get anywhere following that line of thought here...
What I said was specifically targeted at the bit I quoted, that "There is no evidence to support the idea of a divine creator."
I could care less what any specific person believes...as long as that belief doesn't prompt you to harm others. I'd also prefer that it includes some version of the threefold law (basically, whatever you do, it's going to come back on you three times...for good or ill.)
Do I believe that my way of belief is right? Sure. Everybody does, otherwise it wouldn't be called belief. But unlike a lot of people, I don't believe that I am thus given the right to persecute, eliminate, or discriminate against someone with a different belief.
I listen to rain....brain is getting the signal that there is rain outside, so nothing to see there, better concentrate on whats on the screen.
You just became my favorite person on the internet. I bookmarked it, and intend to use this tomorrow at work.
I mean, music is good and all, but eventually something that is out of alignment with my mood will start playing, and my work rate suffers while I go skip the song, or pull up another playlist.
No source, just a long track record from Microsoft of releasing "The Next Big Thing" in a very broken state. Also, This Guy wants to make a bet with you.
The only possibly benefit I can see from this is *maybe* adjusting a site's color-scheme or layout to be more intuitive and easy to navigate.
Well, for those of us who do use testing and usability reporting on a daily basis, or have jobs that *require* us to know what is easiest for people to navigate (read: any and all web designers), this is pretty nice, and I intend to use the concept heavily.
they didn't promise the new UI for pre-release versions. They explicitly said it will be in RTM.
But...the chances of it actually happening for the RTM (if they haven't already gotten the kinks worked out of it) are pretty much Nil...maybe it will be in one of the service packs?
Why? has it gotten easier to code your own linux drivers in 2012?
No, now we have monkeys to code them for us.
Seriously, go download and test out a live ISO of any of the "desktop" linux flavors...Ubuntu (pre-metro), Xubuntu, Mint...none of these have required you to write your own drivers in...well, not since I started using them several years ago.

Like the poster above said, no evidence. Those links have about as much evidentiary value as the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
Ah, I should have linked to something on Amazon, as he did...many apologies, let me fix that...
It would make a crazy sort of sense, yes? If Angry Birds was actually malware...
Ok...so...entropy? Any answer for that one?

the trick was just in getting nothing to separate out into interesting patterns for a while.
And that, my friend, is the key to this whole discussion.

I'd like to see the calculations for the necessary energy required to separate the two...

This. Now, if you were talking about *feet*, the OP would have a point...
Have you considered buying him a Mac?
...or installing Linux Mint for him? (a decent amount cheaper, and less confusing for someone moving from Windows...)
Isaac Newton, Blaise Pascal, and Michael Faraday just turned over in their graves...
There is no evidence to support the idea of a divine creator.
Your opinion suggests that you haven't discovered Google
(Or at least didn't use it before posting this...)
Unfortunately, evolution is theory, not fact, and has yet to deal with some rather hairy issues like irreducible complexity and entropy.
...where'd the energy come from, cap'n?

My brain, being the evil thing that it is, started imaging the marketing campaign for this label of beer...and what it imagined was not pretty...
Aha, my good fellow! Thy response doth Nook the warmth of delight in mine heart!

I have read the synopsis 4 (four) times and I didn't get shit.
Read this AC submitted summary It may (or may not) enlighten you.
...thank you for saving me the work of slogging through it on my own.
What version of Ubuntu are you using? And what wireless card? (for that matter...what laptop/netbook are you using?)

Aha! Procrastination for the win! (I hadn't gotten around to testing out the CP I downloaded a while back).
