Now yes, the big bang theory IS a theory and should e called as such. That said, it isn't called a theory for religious reasons. Further, this fucking moron seems to be under the delusion that the big bang theory is something that religious folks don't like. Most Christians absolutely LOVE the big bang theory as it upset the long held scientific belief that the universe was forever and stats that the universe has a beginning.
You have to remember that to these morons, a "theory" isn't a well-defined scientific term... it's code to their followers (who don't understand science) that implies "this is stuff the scientists made up."
Like anytime the theory of evolution is mentioned, you hear these idiots screaming "IT'S JUST A THEORY!!!"
Couldn't they just release a game where you could completely customize the player names, jerseys, and team names, and let the players make their own NFL game? If it really affects the cost of the game that much to include the official NFL logo, then why don't they remove it. Allowing players to make their own teams would allow for some extra gameplay too.
I've had games like that... I just never had the patience to completely customize everything. I might change a few players here and there, a few jerseys, etc. Then I'd lose patience and just want to play the game.
I think the original Dynamix football game was like that.. my brother and I used to play that all the time. We'd end up just talking about the fictional players as if they were real people.
I sincerely hope they do not fall into this direction. We had TLC (The Learning Channel) and they did exactly that. Used to be documentaries (and I actually learned something) and now it's all reality shows doing home decorating, or following an engaged couple through their wedding plans
I used to watch TLC *all* the time. My favorite show was Connections... ever see that one? They'd start out with some random discovery far back in history and trace the effects to the present day. Great stuff.
If you have Coca-Cola from a soda fountain, it is significantly better. The carbonation is never correct from a bottle or can.
I suppose it's just a matter of personal preference, but I disagree entirely... I much prefer Coke from a bottle or can vs the soda fountain. The fountain Coke is never fizzy enough for my tastes.
I find it intensely interesting that people will defend the warrantless search and seizure of an American citizen by the Clinton administration, yet will villify the recording of phone conversations of people who have known links to terrorist organizations.
Ames was a CIA agent. When you sign up to be a CIA agent, you give them permission to search your home any time they want. If a cop shows up at your door without a warrant, and you say "please come in and search the place," it's a legal search. It's basically the same thing when you sign up for the CIA.
And have you been keeping up with the news? The American citizens with "known links to terrorist organizations" who have been spied on without warrants, in violation of the constitution, have mostly been found to be innocent of any wrongdoing. The leads that the NSA gave to the FBI were almost all a waste of the FBI's time.
Increased value in the secondary market increases value in the primary market. Keeping in mind that my buying second-hand, you're increasing the market for second-hand CDs. An increase in the value of that market makes the first-sale CDs more valuable;
I understand your argument, but I would say that the affect of the secondary market is rather negligable. Have you tried selling a used CD? You're lucky to get 50 cents for one. I doubt many people are encouraged to buy more new CDs because they can recoup part of the investment back on the secondary market.
There may be some effect, but not enough that I would actively discourage someone from buying used CDs.

That is debatable (but a silly debate). If you consider Neanderthals as early humans too (they decended from H erectus just like H. sapiens) then yes H.erectus is a early human too. It's all depending on where you draw the line. If you stretch it really far, you could even argue that the first proto-mammals were early humans too. Personally(as a laymen) I draw the line at H. Sapiens. Before that is humanoid, but not human.

I do not know why someone hasn't sued to try and get civilian death rates reported from this war in iraq. It is terrible.
You're assuming that people would care. I think you could tell them that a million Iraqi orphans were burned alive and there wouldn't be much of a public outcry.
Sure it is, or at least coffee is. It's rich in antioxidants, it helps asthma, prevents diabetes, liver cancer, bladder cancer, colon cander, and heart disease.
It helps ramp up your metabolism, increases the proportion of fats your body burns for fuel, increases memory and IQ.
Too much caffeine can be bad for you, but a moderate amount has plenty of benefits.
As an athlete, I drink plenty of coffee, and feel good about it. I don't recommend loading up on Coke or Mountain Dew, but coffee is fine.
Most people don't like it, but I have to fall into "blame the victim mode" here. What Sony did, was not trespass. It is 100% impossible for a passive piece of media (a CD) to trespass on a computer. The computer, working as the user's agent, actively loaded and executed code from the CD.
So that explains why it's perfectly legal and justified to trick someone into loading a virus onto their computer, because if they're too stupid to know not to run it, they deserve what they get?
What we're talking about here essentially boils down to a Trojan horse program. No one expects the CD to install a rootkit when they put the CD into their computer.
Do you think the creators of a massively destructive virus would get let off the hook because they displayed a EULA that says "Whatever happens to your computer is not our fault" without mentioning the specific threat they intentionally created?
So maybe that answers your question "Why do people spend money on magazines that contain ads?" Because they all do. Ad-free magazines simply do not exist anymore. There aren't any. Not one single one. Prove me wrong.

Maybe he took them from a good citizen who himself took them from an actual looter, and the good citizen was trying to return them to the store?
Maybe the cop got a stack of DVDs from home, and was bringing them over to a friend's house to let him borrow them, but he had to stop at the store on the way there to pick up some doritos, but he carried the stack of DVDs into the store with him?

History already shows that Kerry won Palm Beach County by over 100,000 votes.
So if there was election fraud it was either A) totally incompetent or B) not done by the republicans.
Well, not necessarily.
It's better for Bush to lose by 100,000 votes than 150,000 votes. It's the overall state count that matters. In such a close race, every vote counts.
And it's much less suspicious looking this way.
Not saying it was fixed... just saying your logic is flawed.
Thank goodness I have a sufficiently common name that googling for me is effectively pointless.
Same here.. I have the same name as someone famous, so good luck googling me. I might be 1000th on the list.
If pr0n were a convincing enough argument for my grandma, I would seriously want to shoot myself.

sexxxxxx!!! hot, sweaty, body-slapping sex.

If you vote Republican before you are 20, you have no heart. If you vote Democrat after you are 20, you have no brain.
Thanks for Bush, asshat.

I live at 248 above mean sea level in an area with moderate temperatures and 40 inches a year rainfall. Global warming worries me not a bit.

They merged with the Yeti and became Neocon Republicans.
Nah, the Neocon ancestry also includes pond scum, weasel, vulture, chickenhawk, and snake. Can't underestimate those.

This is an actual drug? I've never heard of this.
