Stand up to him, be a man and let him know in NO UNCERTAIN TERMS that "this adolescent, unprofessional puerile shit will not fly" if he does not back down, and apologize to you and your clients for the damage done to your reputation as well as the illegal activity of threatening to withhold a paycheck, the lawyers will fly.

Apple had document indexing and document content searching in their development tools CDs in 1991.
Computers were REALLY slow back then but if we're just thinking about "who was first" now, it's been around in one form or another since at least 1991.
Crimson, every day, I scan the medical and science press releases and often I find more evidence for evolution that you are asking for like new species developing.
I've got many more too, with some about new plant species evolving, but some of the other sites are harder to search the archives.
National Geographic said it best (IMHO) when they said "Evolution is a theory like the theory of electricity is a theory."
You also stated that "religion... a lot of it makes more sense then primordial mud giving rise to anything." To you it does. We have a hard time actually fathoming how long a hundred years is let alone 4 billion. With all the chemical interactions to take place and higher levels of structures that may come into place, it seems inevitable to me that over 4 billion years, life would evolve into existence. The fossil record indicates that eyes have developed many times and been lost and developed again, in completely different ways and in completely unrelated organisms. For such a complex structure to come into place many times over, I feel this is a good nudge towards the evolutionary side of things.
If you wish, my observations on why people feel the need to look for a god even if one is not there are summed up in this thread.

When in worked at Macromedia from 1994 - 1998, I had real problems with my eyes. Our monitors were pretty low refresh rates but the key was that I had a Mac blinking at me at 75 Hz and a PC blinking at me at 60 Hz and flourescent lights blinking at me at whatever Hz and around 10 am, I would get really really angry.
My eyes were hurting so bad because of the flashing, It pained me to keep them open. I had to steam in the shower to moisturize them and also put ice cubes in paper towels and rested them on my closed eyes.
Really hurt.
Got different monitors with higher refresh rates and THE SAME refresh rates, covered the flourescent lights and turned two off and the pain went away.
Call me a troll if you want but mere mortals can not deal with all of the crap that windows exposes them to.
If they want to listen to music, email, surf, and write the occasional document, the mac IS the most painless way to go.
If they want to game, or watch the latest in WMV, then they'll need to deal with the pc world.
I work on win 2000 all day but take my Ti with me most everwhere I go. No spyware, popups, or viruses and with PithHelmet, almost no ads on web pages either.
As I read all the responses, and remember that I do live in earthquake central (SF Bay area), I wonder, "what if the govt is right - at least in principle?"
Sure, plugging in cables is NOT HARD but yes, there are other things to worry about - fire shielding, run through an area people will not want to nail or drill into, and probably more that we don't know about. Stuff that once is mentioned, makes perfect sense but wouldn't be thought up unless someone mentioned it.
Hey, in California, I can see why you would need to be licensed to install PVC pipes. These earthquake things don't happen all the time but when they do, you'll want good bracing and give in your plumbing.
And then again, other parts of CA, do tend to get washed out with mudslides or decide to catch on fire on a semi yearly basis.
All I'm saying is that there's proooobably more behind the scenes that we're dismissing because we don't know about it.

Zoom in.
Look at the text that says "We're sorry, but we don't have imagery at this zoom level for this region."
Looks pretty incomplete to me.

You'll see that the world ends south of the United States.

Why, yes Brain, I AM pondering what you're pondering!
One thing is for sure, that man was NOT born to be a narrator.
It sure cured my ebola!
My blood no longer spurts from various bodily opengings at random intervals!
Starbuck can NOT be a chick. For those of us who grew up fearing that cylon invaders may be approaching, a female Starbuck is heresy.
Fondue!
Agreed. It's the "Kind Green" of Mpeg 4 codecs.

Cheers. Gotta go. Time for Taxes.
Only Version 9. There is no version 10 for the Mac.
Which sucks of course.

How much would it cost you to become a registered cabler?
Why not?
Just curious as we were taught that more than one octopus was spelled octopi. But then I was taught that this was incorrect.
Why is it not virii and if it is not, is it viruses? If so, that also sounds incorrect.
I do - and thank you for mentioning that.
I had to cut and post the file quickly and it was merely to show that Edison did electrocute large masses of meat to illustrate his point.
I know he electrocuted elephants.
Here's a video:

The article does mention how the vulnerable the mac was out of the box.
3 attacks, no compromises, right out of the box.
I'm glad you were here.
Thanks for all you've done. You truly are missed man.

Well, the Weekly World News reports that a strange breed of cat has been found on Saturn's moon.
I'll believe them first.
Wait. Wait. Wait. Can we kill these people?
Please?
