See thats the beauty of creationism. Of course we know where it came from. God put it there.
Actually in all seriousness. Even if God put everything where it is, it does no good to use this as an explanation. I could claim that the universe started 7 days ago, and the reason everything is where it is, and why you have memories is because God started the Universe that way. And there is nothing that could prove me wrong.
However, there seems to be a pattern to it all, and that pattern shows it self in the rules of science. Therefore even if God made everything, and put it exactly where it is, God did it in a way that allows the pattern to be revealed through science.
All of nature shows this pattern, and if Nature is made by God, I would say that Nature is more a manifistation of God's will than a book of writings by fallible human beings.
Regardless of the metaphysical truth, the value in teaching evolution in school lies within the fact that understanding the patterns in Nature is what will serve students in understanding more of the world, and prepareing for higer education.
Even the Catholic Church acknoledges that evolution is more than just a hypothesis, and that there is value in the story of Genesis as an interpretation and a parable.
The use of "hetero" as a noun refering to hetero sexual people sound alot like using "homo" as a noun to describe homosexual people. Just thought I might point that out.
No they arnt. If you think that "lot[s] of girls are just as turned on by..." then you must have been exposed to an extremely untypical group of women.
There is a cost incurred to make Linux better. It just happens not to fall on the end user. The cost would probably be measured in person*hours of effort and I would humbly guess that it would take an exponentially more work as people attempt to bring it toward perfect.
You are free to complain about anything you want, but would you pay a higher price for the quality. Prices increase exponentially with quality. If it bothers you, vote with your wallet.
My point is that this is not Sony being an asshole and making things up to cover bad engineering. It is a common issue.
The were charged with opening up interoperablity. Publishing the API is probably sufficient to do this. No one needs to look at their code. Its like publishing the pinouts to a chip... no. they do NOT need to be *compensated* for this. No one needs to see the guts.
French laws allow such action, not so indirectly those are the fault of the French legislature, which in fact is the bigger problem. Its not about Google though.
You read the wrong article... you read the article on the article...
I would further venture to guess that the author of the article of the article asked google to comment on his piece and that google was responding to his assertions rather than the "Le Monde" editorial.
While there is a slight hint of counter-americanism in the article, I did not see any particular attack on google. It seems to me the article was simply warning that they need to get off their butts if they dont want the only publically available resources to be from english speaking perspective.
Moving to a Hydrogen economy is not something that is useless. It provides flexabilty to the energy infrastructure so when energy alternatives become available the hydrogen infrastructure is there to transport and store it.

Yeah, well thats what they said about Earth.
I think the head line should have been:

You couldn't print Trade Secrets in a font that is GPL'ed, as it would inheriently have more limitations added to it that the GPL doesn't allow.
You're right... in fact, I remeber trying this once and the document burst into flames when I tried to print it.
"they want to make money from you"
Alert the press.
In the normal market, cost and price are related. floor(price) ~ manufacturing cost. No need to be pedantic.
In fact, that is what is said to be OSS's strong point... that it scales.

Its not as if they are making it up. Virtually all lcd manufactures accept screens with a "few" bad pixels. Look it up

Because they broke European law and this is supposed to make up for their infraction. (At least thats how I understand it)
Thats one ugly son of a bitch....
Thats nothing... really Wirerecorders were around much before then.
Wouldnt a shrinkometer *measure* shrinkage? Sounds rather like something your girlfriend might use on you after you get out of the pool... : p

No damn it. It doesnt beg the question. Begging the question is a logical falacy.
Im assuming by carbon you are talking about CO2. CO2 != particulates. Here is a reference
Its more like:
NetScape ->Mozilla ->Netscape

->(Pheonix/Firebird/Firefox)->Netscape
Thats more accurate.
