And exactly how long would you give any unfarmed species to continue existing if everyone who eats meat hunted wild free animals? You know all those big extinct mammals? They went extinct for a reason, and when hunting technology was a lot less sophisticated than it is now. Farming is the only way to feed a civilization.
Question, what does your God do? If he does so little so as to essentially not exist, he is not in conflict with science (and I don't really see the point of him other than an exercise in semantics). If he does anything concrete (visions, moving mountains, smiting evil doers, etc.. you know the kind of stuff I mean), then frankly he is in conflict with all of science.
What world are you living in where everyone accepted evolution without question? Evolution is accepted because it has answered just about every criticism thrown at it, and there have been many.
Because nobody makes money from just selling RAM modules? Patents may well provide an additional incentive, but they are certainly not the only one out there.
Commenting interfaces is good, but really if you expect someone to maintain or integrate your code you have to comment the code itself also. What pure developers don't seem to understand is that people doing integration or maintenance don't have the time to get an intimate knowledge of each and every function by reading the source. Your component is going to be just one tiny part of a huge system. Understanding by "reading the code" doesn't scale.
Tabstop on many inflexible devices and applications is 8. Indenting to the width of 8 spaces is obviously not a great thing to do. That's why people indent with spaces.
The licence has been revoked by Bitkeeper, so I doubt it applies to him still (though I haven't read the actual license). Bitkeeper are not fulfilling their side of the contract, why would any court insist that Linus should?
I'll tell you how. The money is lost in Engineering hours trying to figure out the damn fool spreadsheet that the finance department has designed as a Purchase Order Template.
If you create a truly useful invention (be it artistic or technological), you should have the right to control it for a specified period of time and benefit from it.
You mispelled "prevent others from benefitting from it".
I wonder where this idea comes from actually. I've been working as a SW Engineer for 10 years now + 4 years doing Comp Sci in university, and I have to say that none of the places I have been in have had many fat or unfit people. Certainly no more than the average population. So where does this apparent stereotype originate? Is the fatness among geeks just an American thing or what?

Volunteers needed to build, test and package free OpenOffice 2.0.
Seems the FSF plan to do something about it. I wonder is it a complete fork, or more a (dis)integration project.
Damn, I knew there was some reason we never got a good harvest.
Marconi?

Uhura was a switchboard operator, hardly a huge departure form female stereotypes of the time.
The nice thing about XML is that you can have a textual interface just as easily as a graphical one (so long as someone can be bothered to write it).
Um, it's only hypocracy if the same person says it.
Maybe we can use the snails for shorter distance protocols, like bluetooth or wifi.

In Vim ggVG= solves all your problems anyway
Stable apparently means "unchanging" not "reliable".

Jeez, don't watch it already, and quit your whinging.

Daemon tools is a good free tool for mounting ISO (and other) images in Windows. The images appear as if a generic CD/DVD drive.
Apple was mediocre for years. It was only the prospect of extinction that made them perk up.
Symbian OS (for mobile phones) is coded in C++.
