To a feeble brain like you that can only mean that every single scientific study ever performed must be wrong.
"More importantly, most religious science is also published and peer reviewed, has gone through an editor, and uses strictly controlled methods (even stricter than the "usual" scientific methods, since it isn't allowed to violate anything in the religion's respective bible)"
religion has nothing to do with the scientific method. If a bunch of ignorant supersitious fucks want to circle jerk themselves that's no concern of mine. Apparently you can't tell the difference though.

GASP!. Oh no, a thriteen year old on slashdot has made me his enemy!. Oh my god what will I ever do? How can I possibly go on? Woe is me, I am surely doomed.
Hey I have an idea. Why don't you take your hands off the keyboard and go and meet a real girl. Maybe get some sun, hell just go for a walk or something. Apparently your total lack of life and human interaction has lead you to believe that slashdot enemies list has some magical powers that will smite me. Maybe if you got laid for the first time in your life your outlook would change a bit.
You are a moron. You not only are a moron but you are a retarded moron.
Let me explain.
There was a study done by a TEAM of scientists using strictly controlled methods. before this study was published other scientists in the same field peer reviewed it. So after doing the research, having their research be reveiwed by an editor, and finally going through a peer review process the thing was published.
On the other hand somebody in slashdot that you never met and who is not even brave enough to use their real name and email tells you that the scientists are full of shit.
Who do you believe? If you are stupid fuck like yourself you believe the slashdot guy. Retards like you are positive that anonymous posts on slashdot are more likely to be right then actual scientists.
" Certainly they would eventually figure it, but even Somalia will eventually figure out how to build a nuclear bomb. That doesn't mean we should give them the knowledge for fun..."
I have news for you. They would have bought it from somebody or would have figured it out by now. Every chinese person I know is of above average intelligence and works harder then anybody I know. Plus there is no shortage of European and asian countries perfectly willing to sell the chinese whatever they want and of course Israel has a long history of selling the chinese all kinds of weapons technology.
Of course in your simple minded world it's all Bill Clintons fault. Bill Clinton is also responsible for the hot days in summer, darkness in the night and of course the bitter cold winters too. There is no need to think about anything just listen to Rush Limbaugh or Bill Oreilly and they'll give you the straight dope. Bill and Hillary clinton are responsible for every bad thing in the world including zits.
"Don't tell me "Linux is easy". Bullsh|t. There's a learning curve. Once you learn it, it's a hell of a lot easier than Windows. But it takes work. The general public is NOT stupid. They are NOT lazy. They're just not as into computers as you might be."
windows has a learning curve too. It's just that people have already learned it (some).
You thought wrong. Follow the insider trading reports and you'll see that the SCO top brass has made over a million dollars so far in their pump and dump scheme.
" So, you're saying the only way you can refute a scientists work is to be a scientist?"
Why yes that's exactly what I am saying.
"'That I can't show some obvious non-truths which have been dispoven by even grade-school "science", such as ecologist/scientist propaganda that trees are our most important oxygen source, and that certain scientists wrongly assert as truth?"
Are you familiar with the concept of truth? Of scientific proof? It does not seem that way to me.
"Yikes. Seems we're making some kind of elite here. Does that mean I can't refute the DMCA because I'm not a lawyer?"
I am sorry if you feel that people who are better educated and smarter then you "elites" but in a nutshell yes. You can ramble on and on about what you think the DMCA is about but you understanding will never be at the level of an attorney. That's why you should listen to attorneys in that matter.
"I, for one, take any word from any so-called "professional" with a grain of salt, even if they have the diploma."
I can see that now. I feel sorry for you.
"I've been lied to by them more than enough times"
I am presuming that you don't trust any human being anywhere on the planet. Surely every human you know has lied to you at least once right? Are you one of those people who don't believe Japan exists because you've never seen it?
"And I've seen real professionals screw up, and often. I always thought I was in good company doing that. Perhaps I'm wrong."
Gee I think you are indeed wrong. Not only that but woefully inadequate to cope with life. Good luck.
"(although they can hit the west coast just fine, thank you Mr. Clinton)"
If Bill Clinton had not personally handed the chinese the know how they would have never figured out how make missiles fly farther. This is because no other nation on earth has sophisticated computers like the US has. Certainly no european country or japan or taiwan has ever produced technology to rival US dominance in manufacturing or designing computer chips or writing software.
It is a well known fact that all chinese are actually retarded mentally. Go to any university and you will see that the chinese students are the laziest and the dumbest ones in the bunch.
Only if Bill Clinton had not called the chairman of the communist party in China and personally revealed all of our secret computer chip mojo the west coast would be safe from chinese missiles.
Of course we could not really expect better from a person who would lie about where stuck his cock and on whose face he came on.
" Yes, Amerika is Savage and Evil (tm)! That's why with the ability to literally snap its fingers and destroy the entire planet or any portion (Country) thereof, it never has."
United states is the only country in the history of the world to use atomic weapons. It used them twice and in both cases against civillian targets.
"Perhaps you should consider what something/someone/some nation that really was Savage and Evil (tm) would do with that much power. "
you mean like continually bomb a country for 20 years and then invade and take over their oil wells?
I wonder what it is that you are trying to protect. It's obvious by now that the "way of life" you are trying to protect is one of savagery and evil. Putting your selfish interests over and above the lives of tens of thousands of people, giving yourself the license to kill anyone you want, whenever you want, for whatever you want.
It's sick, immoral and evil. You are no better then Osama Bin Laden or Saddam Hussein. I am sure they both feel and talk exactly like you.
Why do people bother with a proto fascist like Coulter anyway. The lady is clearly a psychotic, deranged, and sick individual. It's best not to even acknowledge her presense.

"The only real reason for founding a for-profit organisation is (big surprise) to make a profit. But that doesn't give the organisation any more right to break or bend laws or social conventions than it does an individual."
mainly because we are pack animals. It's in our genetic makeup and we can't escape it.
"With a small (100 or less) band of humans, there's no need for this because they all know each other, and they need to work together to survive."
Maybe that's your opinion but the reality is that all sizes of human organizations always choose to pick a leader. Whether it's a chess club or a tribe or a country. Put five people together and one of them will be the leader.
" Imagine, for example, if there were a credible, objective study that showed that (to make up a hypothetical scenario) the total TCO for Windows 2003 as measured in production is lower than Linux, "
I really don't think anybody would believe them. MS has lied so many times, paid for so many bogus benchmarks and "studies", bribed so many "think tanks" and politicians that nobody believes them anymore.
Bill Gates could say that the sky was blue and I would not believe him.
You know the old saying. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.
"Fact-based UNIX Debunking. Why confuse the argument by trying to have it match reality?"
This simply means that he is only going to lie 5 times before lunch. This of course is an improvement over the old rules which clear state that all MS employees must tell at least 10 lies before luch or they will get fired.

Wow you must be a brilliant scientist who has done lots of published research on these subjects.
I would be interested in reading some of your research in peer reviewed pubications. Could you please provide me with some citations or links?
Thanks.
Wow. That's over a million dollars. Where is McBride though? How come he hasn't cashed in?
You should also complain to nasdaq.
DO the math.
The US admitted to killing around three thousand completely innocent civilians.
If you presume that their error rate is around 1% then they must have killed 100 conscripts for every civillian.
" We all saw the video of bin Laden admitting to the attack. "
He could have been taking credit to make himself look more powerful.
The whole thing could have been a fake, I have no doubt the US govt could produce a tape like that.

"Whether or not he was associated with 9/11, the taliban were sheltering him from justice, and they knew it."
And their punishment was a genocidal bombing campaign. They paid with hundreds of thousands of lives.
Funny thing though, Osama is still on the loose and will die from natural causes.
Why do people bother with a proto fascist like Coulter anyway. The lady is clearly a psychotic, deranged, and sick individual. It's best not to even acknowledge her presense.
"As opposed to, say, getting a blowjob?"
Yes. Basically if you lie about where you stuck your cock you get impeached. If you lie about taking the nation to war then It's cool.
"Protect from what? The evil corporate software people who come in the middle of the night to eat your children? Those who choose not to release their source code?"
All of the above.
No they need a better one then they have now.
"The only real reason for founding a for-profit organisation is (big surprise) to make a profit. But that doesn't give the organisation any more right to break or bend laws or social conventions than it does an individual."
And yet they do so and constantly.

Really people if you are going to tell the entire world how much of an idiot your CTO is the least you could do is tell us his name.
