    "Come to think of it, wouldn't it be a less serious crime to murder a poor man than to murder a rich man?"

    No. Rich people don't pay taxes. At least, the smart ones don't.

    How do you think they get to be rich?

  8. Re:Thank God! on Creationist Textbook Stickers Declared Unconstitutional · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Evolution is a fact in that we know it occurs and it has been seen occuring.

    The Theory(ies) of evolution seek to describe the various forms of evolution and how they work.

    It is the same as the fact of gravity (gravity exists and we observe it to exist) and the various theories of gravity (what are the physical mechanisms that cause what we call gravity)

    Actually, they had too much gas in it. They should have arranged it so that it ran out of gas just before it hit the ground.

  15. Re:Old laptops... on Energy Efficient and Cheap Servers for Home Use? · · Score: 1

    I second this - before I went ADSL, I was using an old p150 Dell laptop and Freesco as my internet gateway/print server. It still does duty as print server, and I will probably get around to setting it up as a web and dns proxy sometime.

  18. Re:I don't like things that are different! on Get Rid of Internet Explorer - Browse Happy! · · Score: 1

    If their biggest gripe is that they don't like how it looks, install another theme. Orbit Retro is my personal favourite, but if they insist on acting like children, maybe Toy Factory would be more appropriate.

    You might as well ask if using shared libraries is a good idea.

  21. Sick and tired... on 32,000 "Why I'm Tired" Emails · · Score: 1

    I think all right-thinking people in this country are sick and tired of being told that ordinary, decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I'm certainly not! And I'm sick and tired of being told that I am.
