I believe that my girlfriend loves me, but I have no empirical evidence for it.
Actually, you do. She tells you, you see the way she acts (i.e. she doesn't cheat on you:-) ), etc, etc. While none of this is conclusive, it's stronger than evidence that God (talking about Christian God) exists. What evidence do we have... Hm, a book written a while back by people that already were prone to have a religious belief that is now considered wrong. And... Some half baked theories about how this and that is improbable, how this and that doesn't seem likely... While indeed there is little evidence to prove God doesn't exist, that in itself doesn't warrant belief in His existence.
It's actually not; beliefs that can't be proven are only mocked and considered fanciful if very few people believe them. The majority of people in the US and around the world have some faith in a religion, whereas very few people around the world believe in invisible unicorns.
But there was a time when the majority of people believed the Earth was flat. Or that it was the Sun rotates around the Earth. Or that there were unicorns:-). But let's take religion... Back in the day when men were men, most of them had a polytheistic religion. Which we now mock and consider fanciful. Why does the majority of people believing in something make it less 'worthy' of our mockery?
The way I see it, however is... Believing in God is the easy way out. Believing in God gives you a way out. Something to 'help' you through hard times... It's nice to be able to hope there'll be someone to help you when you or your loved ones are in trouble. Similarly with death, which pretty much scares people. Hey, wouldn't it be nice if there was something after death? You know, green fields, virgins, and a lot of food? Especially if during your lifetime, you were lacking in those aspects... But, hey, we probably both live in 'free' countries, so... whatever rocks your boat.:-)
Actually, "in the most difficult rest" is plain wrong, if he meant "in the rest of the test, which was more difficult". In the most difficult rest implies there were more sections left and he's talking about one of them that was particularly difficult. That is, if it's not some silly idiom.:-)
So, what with global warming and the prevalence of obesity, we shouldn't be worrying about being cold any time soon.:-)

For me, it happens every other month or so, with the.ro registrar screwing things up on a regular basis. Last time, everything newer than 2002ish went AWOL for a almost a full day.

Actually, even though I knew all that, I like it. Only... It's not really news.:-)
Because TPB isn't doing business in the US/UK, they just run a site in Sweden. This company does. Yes, it could work if they dropped it in the mail, but then the costs of operating wouldn't be low enough for them to actually afford selling them cheaper. So, they need a branch in the UK, to which they ship large quantities of CDs. At which moment, the UK can prosecute them, because they _are_ doing business in the UK. Or a second company, but then that company wouldn't be allowed to buy CDs from the HK company.:-)
Wow, that's so ignorant and stupid I can't believe it. It's like saying you won't walk on the street because killers walk the streets. Personally, I've read some of those articles and they're not half bad... Of course, not on touchy issues, but, still.
Also, do know that the Tiananmen protests wasn't the only time China killed some of its citizens...
Plus, I remember Yahoo! existing for ages, gmail has been available only for, what, 2-3 years? Back in the day, people created their Yahoo! accounts and now find it hard to move away from them (duh, it doesn't only apply to ISPs?).
Actually, it does it for me (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.3) Gecko/20070309 Firefox/2.0.0.3). Though, the way I use that is: e, arrow down, 7*backspace, type stuff in. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page:-) )
Well, being a lesbian means she knows all about discrimination.
Seriously, though, saying "I can live with a gay/lesbian", but not straight man/woman would've been odd and secondly, her chances of knowing both sides of the coin are increased. (Most people are straight, so chances are a random roommate would be straight. As for gay/lesbian... straight people rarely -- I'd say -- go looking for a gay/lesbian roommate)
For one, IPSEC isn't mandatory in IPv6. And, secondly, I doubt that if IPv6 would've been IPv4 with just 96 more bits for the IP addresses, it would've been implemented.
Hm. Okay. May I just say I was stupid there?:-P For some reason I read Oblahblah, ah, must be Oklahoma. Duh.
Okay. Still, my point remains that there are rules to handle this, no need for amending the school rules for it... I bet the schools had rules against defamation in the first place...

It's not a grammar-based flame. It's an "incoherent babble-based" flame.

It's probably because the only good things to come out of Hollywood lately are the soundtracks of certain movies. :-)

By opt-in you mean 'pay a large sum of money for having its still crappy content displayed'. No, thanks.
How would opt in create better content?

I mean a bloke called Einstein proved Newton wasn't _actually_ right. Also, quantum physics isn't really agreeing with the law of gravitation.
Damn, that's one funny site I found on Google relating to those verses. http://www.creationists.org/
Which has been proven to be wrong. What's your point? :-)

We'd wish. It's more like the Clevinger's trial from Catch 22 all year 'round.
Wouldn't you want to know both? I know for sure in Romanian law, the most recent or most lenient law applies...

Actually, they're not taking away my liberties, since I'm unlikely to ever be dragged (alive) into the US.
