A pretty misleading article at best. The author makes a good case for micro-evolution (the fact that single-celled organisms change over time, not requiring the addition of information), but takes a sudden leap of logic to claim this proves macro-evolution and the formation of complex organisms out of simpler ones.
National Geographic is a comic with pretty photographs, known for it's bias and propensity for making wild claims without solid facts.
Whether or not you believe the facts point to evolution, National Geographic is not the place to look for scientific, peer-reviewed information. You might as well take quotes from the Institute for Creation Research. Then again, they have the guts to commit to a single point of view, don't they?
I mean, it's great they're running an ad in NYT and all, but everybody who I have installed Gecko-based browsers for also want a decent mail reader.
Rather than going for the still-beta Thunderbird, why not just go the whole hog and install Mozilla proper? You get all of Firefox's features and considerably more.
The only niche I can see Firefox/Win32 filling is for people who don't want to run IE, but for some reason don't want to run Mozilla Mail (which is rare at least in these parts).
Okay, so it was originally developed for Mac. My mistake.
However the rest stands. There was a PC version started only shortly after the Mac version and it was truly stunning. This was long before Microsoft bought Bungie. It was only very briefly ever going to be a macintosh-only game.
Halo PC is not the way people were meant to play Halo. It was released 3 years later with neglible changes. It was born on the console, and thats where the gameplay really belongs.
Balderdash.
Halo is a PC game. It was designed to be a PC game and the original version always will be an unfinished PC game. Bungy made it, and they made it great.
Unforunately, not long before the game was ready, Microsoft bought Bungie studios and shelved Halo. They then ported whatever they could from the carcass to the then new XBox just in time for a Christmas release. Thus Halo/XBox was born.
A few months later, Microsoft were kind enough to grace us PC gamers with a port of Halo/XBox to the PC. But make no mistakes - this was not the original version by any means. Because it's a port of an XBox game, game play is severely retarded due to the pathetic 64MB memory of the XBox, textures are repetitive and performenace is dog slow. This is Halo/XBox/PC.
I mean, Kerry is so close to Bush that if he wins you Americans will be no better off.
Why don't y'all just elect someone else for president? It's not really that hard. Though you wouldn't know there were any other candidates looking at the media...

then if they deem it neccessary THEY will call the REAL 911!
You mean like 912?
Saddle and Horseshoe industry says the automobile is not a threat to their business.
I think I'll stick with my zaurus, thanks.
Is Microsoft finally Crawling down the Gurgler?
Oh, never mind...
Maybe next year
I wouldn't take them too seriously.

Is that akin to OpenGL 1.3 or 2.0 class?
Many of these chips will never see a byte of DirectX (presumably Direct3D) code.
... it's because more people are geting sick of the same BS the RIAA is churning out (both in the musical and legal sense), and routing around them.

I guess I should have just said "computer".

I doubt Halo/PC will ever see the light of day.

Since when did slashdot begin using Flash in their ads?
*sigh* Time to instal prefbar again.
I'd go see it just for the "Revenge of ths Sith" trailer!
That's why they created the microsoft abstract discard server (ms discard)
Shouldn't that be "discard ms" ?
Congratulations on your recent completion the first semester of the Cisco CCNA course!
I hope you feel better now that you've clarified your opinion of the terms TCP, IP and TCP/IP to the rest of us. Boy do we feel stupid.
Good luck with semester 2.
So he goes from supporting Cthulhu to supporting Satan himself, because he's the more popular evil.
I mean it's not coming out on PC any time soon and I don't see a PS2 version in the works.
There's just some crappy fringe console version so far, isn't there?
Perhaps because they're not the same fans.
Not all star wars fans hate the prequels or the altered original trilogy, and not all star wars fans are in a hurry to see ROTS.
"The Emperor's infamous 'head slugs'are all the more noticeable for this increase."
Okay I've read a lot about these Emperors slugs, but I've never seen them. Where are they? Somebody got a pic with little arrows?

This will produce the same amount of Zen as any Haiku, and sounds just as good.
Haikus? Bah. Give me a limerick any day.

It looks lovely and smooth (and orange) in Celestia.
So how come NASA is surprised when Titan turns out to look similar to existing models? Do the rest of us know something that NASA doesn't?
It's funny. Laugh.
