    some level of standardization is necessary to be called "Linux."

    There already is said standard: they use a linux kernel .

    Playing the piano? Yes I feel strongly about it, it's math class, TEACH MATH. Maybe we can make an entire different class for playing the piano, we'll call it MUSIC class!

    What are the problems with highschools these days? Wouldn't you consider science teachers teaching religion to be a major one? The janitor can teach sexual education then?

    No the janitor mop mop mops all day long! THAT'S HIS JOB! Why try and make the latin teacher teach Billy how to do algebra in latin class?

    With all the problems with our schools the last thing we want to do is dillute the subject matter.

    Science: The observation, identification, description, experimental investigation , and theoretical explanation of phenomena.

    Name one experiment you can run on ID and get a positive or nagative result. It's not science. I'm not argueing its validity. I'm argueing the method ID people want it tought. Do not teach it in science class. Why argue this route? Becuase the ID people care more to discredit evolution then to teach their belief. You want to teach the alternative? Teach it in a theology class, what's so hard about that?

    Objectivity is the whole point, the ID's such strong passions have blinded them.

    Let's say we all agree that ID should be tought in schools. Cool let's teach it. Let's teach it in math class. It's time for gym, go put on some sweat-shorts and a t-shirt and sit in that chair and read some Shakespeare.

    ID is a RELIGIOUS topic, therefor it should be tought in religion.
    Evolution is a SCIENTIFIC topic hence it's tought in science class.
    See where I'm going with this?
    If not maybe you need some help with your math, no no not in the English class, yes that's right, Math in the Math Class!

    It's not an argument against ID, it's an argument against teaching it in the wrong classroom. If you wanted to teach ID during lunchtime everyone else would object to it as well, it's lunchtime ... time for lunch! The hate is coming from the ID side. We're not attacking ID, you're attacking evolution.

    This is not about ID vs Evolution, this is about Math Class vs English Class!

  4. Re:In my view on Modding and the Law · · Score: 1

    Buy any car in the last 5 years and it's fitted with a built in computer to monitor the systems and report specific problems. You usually have to go to an authorized dealer/garage to look up the error codes, this is another legal battle going on. I'm sure if carpets were more important to the overall function of an automobile said deals would be in effect in the same manor as the authorized dealers.

  5. In my view on Modding and the Law · · Score: 4, Interesting

    modding has always been around. Only recently has it become any phenomenon through greed of the manufactorer. Could you imagine buying a car, and then being sued for replacing the factory deck with a new one? Looks like some corporations seek to stop selling any goods to anyone and instead just want to lease out the use of their property. If they do it should be clearly printed on the box. If not, when you purchase it, it's YOURS to do whatever you damn well please to do with it.

  6. Re:Time Zone on Mars Swings Unusually Close to Earth · · Score: 1

    We must invade mars! Not for our safety, or anything to do with us. But for the martians who wish to live in a democracy and enjoy all the freedoms and liberties that we do. Like property tax.

    I beat it, just have to keep going around collecting shells and powering up, then when you defeat jaws in the water you get to the part that's just as stupid as Jaws 3. You have to shock jaws out of the water, then ram him with your boat.

  9. My Mother on 20 Years of NES · · Score: 3, Interesting

    still begs me to find her a NES system so she can play her Dr.Mario and other games she was more addicted to then I being addicted to Final Fantasy or Dragon Warrior. Although I've set her up with nesticle and a generaic d-pad, it's not a Nintendo controller so she doesn't like it.

    NES was a family tradition with us, after dinner we'd all sit around and play duck hunt or Mario Brothers.

  10. Hype on 2005 Halo Machinima Award Winners · · Score: 0, Troll

    I still don't understand the hype of Halo. As far as first person shooter game goes, it sucks. And if you disagree you don't play first person shooters on a PC do you? Not trying to troll, I just don't understand what's so great about it. I've played it, it sucks. Nothing original, on consoles the control sucks.

    Please, what am I missing?

  11. Re:A shell is nice but... on A Guided Tour of the Microsoft Command Shell · · Score: 1

    Yes totally agree. One of the reasons I love SuSE so much is the fact that I can run YaST from the command line. I can fully configure remote systems with an ssh connection. On my desktop at home, I can run the same utility in gui (Yast2) and have the same general layout. And yes the fact that posix systems treat everything as a file, I can change anything, any setting with vi. (along with other tools, make, gcc, to put settings into effect, but that goes aboove and beyond any control you have with windows ..)

  16. Re:I hear Poor vendor quality on Apple to Replace Faulty Nano Screen · · Score: 1

    No, I don't think I'd ever buy an iPod, unless it was a couple dollars. I never find myself very far from a computer or my laptop, or in my car with my sat radio or cd player. I'm just not one for portable little mp3 players.

    My point was that Apple immedietly pointed the finger at the vendor. I guess they are taking some responsibility though.

    If I go to a grocery store and all the apples in the produce section have worms in them and the grocer is screaming 'That goddamn farmer!' I'm not going to feel sorry for him. It was still his choice to go with that particular farmer.

    Why spend the money to find the flaws when people are doing it for free? Microsofts not losing anything, some schmos computer gets wiped by a virus and he goes out to buy a new computer complete with a new version (patched old version) of Microsofts latest OS. Some company gets riddled with holes and conveniently finds contracts for anti-virus/malware solutions from the same company who's OS they're using.

    Lately it seems that hardware companies are in the game -- e.g. Intel processors with features designed to make up for the deficiencies of Ballmer's bunch in Redmond.

    Back scratching at it's finest. Microsoft bloats it's OS and applications, so people have to purchase a new computer and pay the Intel and Microsoft tax.

  22. Re:Not Really on US Companies Sponsor Pro Gamers · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Great point. Did people watch Dennis Rodman because he was going to get another rebound any second now! No they watched because of his character.

    I think the good players tend to relax a little more and let their characters out and people tend to like/dislike them on their character more then their stats. Yes at the same time these are the people pushing our favorite teams to win games which is a bonus. But Randy Moss is an asshole, I don't care how good he is, his stats rank second to his character in my book.
