Well... religion is a strong civilizatory force. No use in denying that.
I dont think any anti-creationist actually thinks otherwise (it would just be plain stupid). But when religion tries to tell us how things we know to be true, are a lie, we need to answer back and say the right thing: that is just stupid.
Creationists are stupid. And thats all there is to it.
After he dies, we will still celebrate every year. YES. And ten years from then we will throw a big party and we will read his books aloud.
TRUE Artists, ones than help redifine an art and find new ways to communicate abstraction and concrete things of the world, ones that touch people inside and help them deal with the things of the world because they communicated this or that situation or revival of past human knowledge ARE MORE IMPORTANT TO HUMANITY than media fads.... man...
He is GIGANTICALLY MUCH MORE important than ANY of those names.
Ill bet you that if you ask all of those, theill tip their hat, bow in humblness and say that YES, what Bradbury has done is more important than anything they have done.
Jesus Christ, why this contempt for the book as of late?
Well... how about letting the TIBETANS decide if they want their god king back or not or if they want the chinnese out of their country?
Gee, what a novel concept don't ya think? And the dalai lama seems like such an unreasonable guy that wouldn't ever submit material government to democracy.... right?
My friend, at least take the time to read some of the stuff the guy says.
Well, the fact that the communist government of china sucks for human rights, does not make Bush's government any less fascist than it is when compared to the US just ten years ago.
Im not shocked by china's response (hey, to be truthfull, its fair and square), but for US citizens to be arrested and have no fair trials and be subject to espionage from their government... hey, thats a shock: its the last place on earth where one wouldve thought that was possible.
in. Now they are not free to live as they wish any more. If it was me no level of "civilization" is worth losing liberty. So in what way exactly is Tibet better?
I agree with you.
Civilization, on the other hand, does not: it depends on repression heavily.
If it was up to me, they wouldnt have gotten me off the trees with any kind of treat whatsoever, or even leave the sea.
All activists are attention whores, including FOSS activists by the way (and myself). I find this not a flaw in their character, but a necesary trait for them to do their job well and enjoy it.
Having said this, im not surprised either and in some way just getting arrested serves his cause.
Well... i dont agree with the chinnese in almost anything at all, and certaintly think their violent invasion of tibet stands on no moral grounds at all (then again if i remember irak, fingerpointing turns silly). However, no country in the world allows foreigners to come into their territory to express their political view in an attempt to influence it in any way.
Check the law in any country in occident, you will find its a general rule (perhaps with some exceptions). Of course, most of occident does not apply those laws, but i dont think swarzenegger would be all to fine if tens of thousends of mexican vacationists started protesting against the discrimination of legal mexican-americans and so on.
I would agree, if the vouchers were not FUDed to mean that they are some sort of legal protection against Microsoft's actions. They are saying that if you dont buy whatever they sanction (suse/xandros/linspire), then the CIO is open to lawsuit.
Novel, Xandros and Linspire should be taken out and shot in the head. They are true traitors to the open source community and should be barred from using the Linux trademark.
Honey, this here times are making us run for our lives. There is no time to teach anyone under thirteen how to not bake ice-cream. I thank god there is people like you in the world, it would be a violent, dark place if the rest of us were here alone.
But one thing is not be ignored: idiocy is what it is. The basic question you are asking is if its ethical or good for the majority to point it out in big orange letters.
I vote yes: id rather be embarassed than an idiot.

Take a bow....
ROFL!
Irrelevant.
THey shouldnt be using windows, precisely because of this risk.
And thats that.
EVEN clamav?
Man, clamav is better than most.
yes i do
I dont think youre trolling.
You, sir, are absolutely right. A creationist is a really stupid evolved monkey.

What is our culture turning into!
WHAT?

Go wank off to your Christina Aguilera, child.
Its hip cause of the demographics. Target audience for windows vista grew up with seinfield and love him.
MS is just ignoring the children which they have already lost... TO US and TO MAC.
MS is going to be less relevant in the years to come: they have accepted their faith.
All you want.
A shit-made doll is still a lump of shit.
I agree that voting-through-the-wallet is more effective.
But it also does not bring attention to the problem for many people, where a stunt will.
Exposure is also positive.
Yeah, sure, not doing anything at all has a much better chance at contributing for a change.

For whom, for coca-cola, nike or microsoft?
I dont see his company sponsors anywhere.
Ah, you mean a publicity stunt in favor of a free tibet.
You are right then, what an evil guy!

Interop is a good thing, yes. But Microsoft's "interop" means FUD for anyone not playing into its patent SCAM.
Sure... for different values of "operates".

Jeeesus....
Please, please, please make it STOP.
No no no... this is the fu-tu-re:
