Am I the only person in the world who doesn't have a cell phone?
I honestly don't see why I would ever need or want one. Why would anyone who isn't required to, have one of these things? Am I the only one who still finds them annoying? Am I the only one who doesn't like to be interrupted anywhere and everywhere he goes?
Tolerance is not the same thing as agreement. Being tolerant means you recognise a person's right to hold a differing view, not belief that that view is valid or true. To require a Christian to believe that other religions are equally true is to be completely intolerant of Christianity, and contradicts everything the Christian believes. And indeed, forcing the Christian to not try to convince you of his beliefs is tantamount to having him deny his beliefs.
Really, if someone thought I was going to hell, even if I didn't believe in hell, I'd be offended if he didn't try to help me escape that destiny...
I'm not sure I see the point of even going to Mars in the first place; like Kennedy's moon trip, going to Mars will get us nothing. Things are just too impractical to get anything useful done on either planet.
What? The moon has been upgraded to a planet? Were those sneaky astronomer-types hiding that, too? I guess the hackers are our only reliable source of information these days!
You're missing one thing: Anything that has a beginning requires a cause. Creationists and naturalists alike agree that the universe had a beginning (be that creation, big bang, whatever). The universe having an initial cause does not lead to infinite recursion if we allow for the fact that the cause of the universe never had a beginning, and thus, needs no cause.
Maybe they did and someone came back to tell us it was going to happen, so we can go; otherwise, maybe nobody from the present would believe them in the future!
Interesting to note that the version of evolution taught in pretty much every school is decades out of date and has been disproven. I think knowingly teaching children something that is false is worthy of some sort of warning...
Uh huh. Let's see. Perhaps you could explain where the science is in ID. What predictions does it make? Where is the evidence for it? Surely, if it is *science*, then it must have some scientific aspect.
I don't believe in intelligent design, but would like to point out that neither is evolution a scientific theory. A scientific theory has to be testable. You cannot perform tests to determin what happened in the past. The farthest science can take you when it comes to evolution is to show that it can or does happen, not that it did happen , or that's how all the world's creatures came about (unless, of course, science invents a time machine...:p)
I'd like to point out that scientific naturalism is as much a faith-based (one might even say religious) worldview as Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, or anything else.

I think that should read 980,000 digits, not 9.8 million (see the list at Wikipedia), and 1 million digit mark, not 10 million (see linked EFF page).
I can hear it now: A friendly, gentle, female voice saying, "Your heart has stopped. You are now dead. Have a nice day!"
how am I supposed to see how good this display is if they don't show me a picture of it?
According to Wikipedia, she's an obstetrician.
Perhaps she was working as a translator to pay her way through medschool, or something similar? (of course this is entirely conjecture)
I stick my navigation buttons, URL and search boxes on the menu bar, and then disable the navigation toolbar, which saves some vertical screen space.
Have a speed limit but don't enforce it? It would be just like here in Canada!

And how about Debian?
I think there's probably something there... Anton Chekhov's father was named Pavel.

I read this article as, "Fewer ads in RSS feeds..."
:)
How is that evil?
My question is, then, when do the spammers start using spamassassin or some other bayesian filter to sort for real orders?
we had a big new years party 4 or 5 years ago
For a minute, I thought "Why the ambiguity? He's obviously talking about a millennium party..."
then it clicked...

isn't it a stalemate if it's a player's turn and he can't move?

Probability is nothing more than a measurement of what we don't know. Since we now know it didn't hit us, the probability was 0.
correlation does not equal causation
Ahh, but correlation and causation are correlated... therefore correlation must cause causation!
