I feel sorry for you for having such a terrible science teacher. Evolution is taught in many science classes, if for no other reason to show you relationships between species, classes, etc. Once you get past the basics with Gregory Mendel and move on to genetics, everything becomes clear. Creature X is a mutation of Creature Y, went on to become successful in a different niche than Creature X, and therefore a clear branch on the evolutionary tree emerges. There are still those who cling to 17th century thinking and they're only doing themselves damage by living in a small-minded world.
As for your last comment "perhaps I am just childish", that's not a bad thing. One of the defining attributes of children is their open-mindedness and ability to think and imagine without boundaries. Tell some first graders to draw their ideal car and see what they come up with, or even kindergarteners (german sp). It'll be much more interesting than something a child in 7th grade will draw for reasons mentioned.
I have a strong feeling you grew up in the south in a small town...lotta regression down here in some parts. Actually smalltown anywhere usually fosters xenophobic and 'filthy ape' mentalities.
He was also a pretty serious Jew, but other than that, I didn't know him, so I won't speak to his faith.
His faith can't hear you anyway. He's been dead for awhile.;)
I wish I had a million moderator points for each time something like this comes up. Everyone gets all religious or anti-religious and I need hundreds of mod points (most of them -1 offtopic) to straighten the thread out. It's too far gone and pointless to even mention by now but if this was on a message board somewhere the mods would've locked it about 40 posts ago. Lame.
By the way people, in case you missed it, evidence of a big flood and lake were discovered on Mars.
Right on my brotha'. While the visualizations are cool, there's no point in Winamp for Linux. Xmms is as good if not better and very mature. You can use all the winamp skins with xmms as well. http://xmms.org has millions of plugins, not just VIS plugins either.
I posted yesterday nearly the same thing and got modded +1 then -1 flamebait then -1 troll.Mods, put down your crack pipe before your knee-jerk reaction kicks in.
If AOL has anything to do with this, you'll have to wait at least 30 seconds before opening your fridge. When you grab what you want, you have to wait an additional 20 seconds before you close the door to ensure that their 'ad impression' isn't missed. It'll let you close the door halfway so you have to stare at the LCD beaming you an ad for some crap you don't want. Once the ad impression is complete, it'll shut the door all the way.
Actually if each machine is capable of maintaining 40 degrees fahrenheit or whatever, there's no multiplicative beowulf-like effect to the cooling process. 10 air conditioning units cooling at the same temp will always yield the same temp.

"I think that improving X or getting rid of X would be a major point to improve Linux's presence on the desktop, and also lots of polishing"
What would it be replaced by, Y? or Z? Maybe Y while it's alpha then Z when it's beta (I'd say probably 75% of open source stuff is permanently beta). Just think of it: ZFree86.304-1 coming in June of 2005. Yay.

Uhmm, I don't know about your experience but I've never, ever found pr0n in Quicktime format. It's always Real (crappy), mpeg or some bastard AVI format. In the olden tymes it was ViVo or Real..but never Quicktime.
The only good this does is let linux users watch quicktime trailers (after they download no doubt).
Not everyone can drop 2 and a half grand on a big beautiful LCD. I've seen those studio monitors and while they're probably one of the best flatscreens ever made, I can't justify the price tag.
Better to save ALOT of cash and buy a CRT. Most 'affordable' LCD's suck bad. Bad viewing angles, not very bright, dead pixels, limited resolutions, crappy dot pitch...the list goes on and on. A CRT is still a better value. You can get a nice KDS (korean dragon shit or something) that uses a Sony TrueFlat Trinitron tube and comes with a no-BS 3 year warranty for around $250. That's for a 17, you can find 19's equally cheap. Everyone knows Sony makes the best tubes that are super clear and bright and KDS makes them affordable. Highly recommended.
It seems that Gentoo was a south african word, used as an international term for a 'prostitute'.
I wouldn't call it 'international' if it's only used in South Africa. I live in the US and have never, ever heard this term from anyone, native english speaker or otherwise.
It's no wonder or great revelation that Gentoo is faster than Redhat. Redhat comes with i386 compiles and doesn't take advantage of special extensions on Pentium-and-higher class chips. Having a distro built with 100% Pentium-class optimizations makes a big difference..that's why I like Mandrake and, to a lesser extent, Gentoo.
I know exactly what you mean. When Mandrake 8.2 was released a few months ago it came with KDE2.2.2 and Gnome 1.whatever. Alot of people were crying about it because SuSE was promising a later release date so they could include KDE3. Mandrake users are still whining about the lack of KDE3 in the distro. Personally I think it was wise on Mandrake's part. They've been criticized many times for being a little too bleeding edge, and including KDE3.0 would've meant adding an unstable default desktop environment to a new, slicker distro. Big huge mistake.
Everyone knows that KDE doesn't get good and stable until the dotted releases hit. 3.01 was for bugfixes and 3.1 is coming soon with some extra features. Gnome is the same way AFAIK.
When maintaining a distro with new stuff coming out daily, I think the hardest decision to make is 'where do you draw the line'. What do you wait for to include or what do you exclude? Tough.

I think they stole this whole idea from a MacGuyver episode. Blatant plagarism if I've ever seen it..you have the laser, you have the aluminum foil, only thing missing is the chewing gum and a pair of shoelaces.
Could be a bad translation. Consider the thickness of paper and the thickness of aluminum foil. Not hard to imagine it coming out as 'paper plane' when it's made out of paper-thin aluminum in the form of a paper airplane.
Makes me grateful I run Mandrake 8.2 most of the time. Any urpmi activity from the internet is precluded with an md5checksum routine. Mandrake users: launch rpmdrake from a console and hit the MandrakeUpdate button. You'll see what I'm talking about.
Now about those other distros that use RPM, I have no idea.
If wireless was too unreliable, you had a poor implementation of it. I have a t1 quality wireless connection to my office, completely flawless even in crazy thunderstorms with lots of lightning. Airband must have spent some serious cash for their hardware.

Funny, I haven't seen a David Bowie video for years. There are tons of successful artists that don't make videos. Concert footage doesn't count.
