How about because observation clearly shows that it had a beginning?
"... clearly shows..." that's news to me. Besides, I neither denied nor confirmed a beginning, I merely stated that the postulate that there was a creator in order to explain the observable universe is unnecessary.
"Vista Ultimate and Business are more expensive, so will have lower volume, making them less attractive targets for malware authors."
Do the different flavors of Vista use different APIs so that software written for one won't work on the others? Honest question. (If not, your post is dumb.)
It's just like every time. Trying to hush something up is the surefire way to spread it on the 'net. Because nothing is interesting before it's supposedly "forbidden" to know it.
I stopped reading your post after I read, "... acess to technology increases ones ability to persue profit, i.e. happiness." Not that you care anyway, I'm sure.
Man, I'm beginning to wonder how many astro-turfers are crawling around slash-dot.
I wonder if Microsoft puts astroturfers in their Research budget. (I'm still trying to decide why, with billions of dollars in research every year, they still suck, and never truly innovate.)
GPL: If you distribute GPL software, you have to give the people to whom you distribute such GPL software exactly the same rights that YOU HAD WHEN YOU RECEIVED THE SOFTWARE.
GPL3: What part of what we said did you not understand? Do we have to spell it out for you? Very well, I guess we will.
I cannot say that I know what is actually going on in Venezuela because I've never seen it with my own eyes but after hearing here and there in the news about what Chavez has done (like build schools, hospitals, etc.) with petro dollars I'm inclined to think that our fucked up administration has given the order to paint a bad picture of Chavez so that we hate him.
I also think that if there was a water well that had been privatized was taken over by Chavez so that all the poor could have free water, our news would point out how he is taking by force private property.
After seeing over and over what our presidential administration has done and the media has not made a deal out of it, wait - they fucking aided and abetted him (!), I'm inclined to think that Chavez is the best edition of a benevolent dictator, an enlightened despot, that the world has known in quite some time.
Ahh, I see they've decided to innovate some more to compete with Google...
Do you suppose that the research they did to determine to buy this company is counted in the billions and billions of money that they put into "research" every year?
That's the problem with/. right now, everything submitted is drenched in someone's partisan opinion, there's no distinction between news (remember, this is supposed to be a news site) and opinion peices.
I was going to say, are you gnew here but then I saw your Slashdot ID number... it has seven digits! All I have to say is, "Don't hold your breath for that to change." Actually, I, and others here, too, like it that way.
But at least now you know the answer to your original Why question: Because the person who responded to your post can't tell the difference but he can still vote.
"One of these days, some really smart person is going to come out with a new and better theory of reality that reveals all this quantum mechanics stuff to be a bunch of quackery."?
has the best theories on the nature of Reality. See.
Thanks. I called and left him a message. I really tried hard to not sound derisive but I ended up using the word "moron" right at the moment when I spoke with someone.
When I was in high school and college, I smoked pot especially because I loved studying when I was high. PHYSICS WAS SO MUCH PHUCKIN PHUN!!!! 27 years later it still is - although I study different stuff now.
Yeah, I think there's something phucked up in a system where a student gets straight A's in some subjects like Physics and Math, but gets F's in other subjects like Shakespearean literature. I was lucky enough to squeeze by but I just don't think some subjects should be forced upon us. I knew how to phucking read, why couldn't I substitute SciFi lit for Shakespeare? Because the system is phucked up, that's why.
I call myself a survivor of the system. Most of my high school friends didn't make it.

Repeat after me, "Everything is a theory."
The belief in a creator god cracks me up:
Who created HIM?
No one, he always existed.
Then why can't we say that the universe always existed?
'Cause I'm not smart enough.
The Republican Conservative defense for all the shit they do: Democrats do it, too.

I hope it takes less than my lifetime to clean up after this administration.

Wow, your Slashdot ID is much smaller than mine!
Would you like to share your views on the Federal Reserve?
I personally think it's the biggest scam the planet has ever seen, almost as big as Christianity - the one with Paul's teachings more than Jesus'.

Hey, Alanis, THIS is ironic.

Dude, I'm getting tired of these corporate astro-turf bitches: "Will GPL v3 ruin Linux?"
Boy, they're scared aren't they?
One of the best quotes I've read here, sir. Good job.
... but I'm sure that's what the other corps thinks, too.

One has nothing to do with the other.

You guys are awesome. Now kiss and make up and have a beer together.
It would appear our President and his advisers have committed felonies.
And crimes against humanities, too; don't forget. Yes, I consider it so the way they lied to start a war.
I wonder whether Billy Boy checked that NASA doesn't use Windows prior to committing.
Thanks. I called and left him a message. I really tried hard to not sound derisive but I ended up using the word "moron" right at the moment when I spoke with someone.
I though Vista was supposed to be the most secure OS ever.
Nope. I watched their lips and every time they said, "Vista will be the most secure Microsoft operating system ever."
I think this was carefully worded by them so they could say it with an honest face.
"... it's our job to help DOT maximize the value of its Enterprise Agreement through the adoption of our technology..."
"You forget, we already have your money."
This would no longer be "Dell" in any significant way... What problem does that solve for Dell?
The problem of Billy Boy getting pissed and retaliating!

I feel like off-topic posting today...
