So. . . . . Both are currently viable theories. So get over it.
ID isn't a theory. It is a hypothesis if anything. Do you even understand what a theory is?
I doubt that the founding fathers believed that the "unalienable Rights" they spoke of in the Declaration of Independence could be suspended by individuals and institutions in the private sector.
You are confused. The rights are defined properly. The private sector can't suspend your rights, but your rights don't trump their property rights.
What you are failing to recognize is that the private sector has "property rights" allowing them to use their property as they see fit (within certain rules). If you are using their property be it, actual land, computer resources, etc, for your expression, you are able to use it only because they let you use it. They may revoke your use of their property at any time. There is no conflict here.
The judge ruled that the deal, which was ostensibly signed in good faith to the advantage of both Toys'R'Us and Amazon, was now working against Toys'R'Us's interests in favor of Amazon. Contrary to what the previous poster said, that's not laudable business practice on Amazon's behalf and it's good that Toys'R'Us got released from that contract.
I'm not exactly sure why this is not a laudable business practice on Amazon's part. It's not like the contract said that "this is only valid as long as it is in your interests." You would have thought that TRU would have been competent enough to think through the ramifications of the contract before signing it. It's not like they had a monopoly and "forced" TRU into signing it.
Just think, if i got laid off and the lease for my apartment (a contract) was no longer working in my favor because i couldn't make payments. Is this reason enough for me to be left out of my lease?
There must have been some really unfavorable language to TRU for the judge to invalidate the contract. I guess TRU's contract lawyers have since been fired for not being a little more careful about the agreement they signed.
Do you sign your mortgage loan or rental agreement with a mouse-click? Ever tell people that by looking at you they agree to pay you $100 each time? They have a choice right? EULAs are still not fully tested because of a contract to exist you must agree to conditions and then exchange money. Can you require acceptance of new conditions after money exchanged hands? The sale is over.
Besides, there are certain things you will always be liable for even if you get people to sign agreements.
Nope- because God is no more complex than the concept of a random and indeterministic universe. The two concepts are equally complex.
Prove it. Scientifically prove that the two concepts are equally complex. Every other argument you make falls apart unless you can equate those two concepts.
Once you throw away all those "unimportant" details it is oh so easy to see how simple everything is.
It's sad when they allow their faith to intervene in such ways that contradict physical reality. At that point it is no longer faith in the general sense of the word.
There is nothing wrong with faith, but faith needs to be non-falsifiable. That's why it is called belief and not called fact.
Wait, so are you suggesting the Windows was designed with security in mind? Please.
Even most MS apologists admit that it was not designed with security in mind. And the other thing that you don't get is that it is OK. It was a business decision made by MS and it made them very wealthy. When the market demands a secure OS in such a way that MS's fortune is tied to it, they will deliver it. Why would they offer it if they aren't going to be rewarded for it? But don't act like they already have a OS designed with security in mind.
but my OS came with a DVD player built in, at no cost to me.
Semantics? Explain to me how it was no cost to you? Can it be no cost to me also or do i have to have money to get this "free" dvd player?
Arrr...ok, if it's free give me a link so i can download it? I just want free as in beer so let me have.
Stop being a zealot.
Uh, hello? How am I being a zealot? I didn't mention an OS preference, vi or emacs, whether I prefer tabs or space, whether I prefer "holiday tree" or "chrismas tree", what i think about gay marriage, abortion, or fundies. If i'm a zealot you need to get out more often...go play with stallman and get back to me.
What are you talking about? Are you saying that I can get it for free also? Or do i have to fork over money to get this thing for "free"?
Are you being stupid on purpose? You admit to saying you paid for it, you just didn't have to pay extra. You "bought an iBook and it came with a program called 'DVD Player.app' which plays DVD's. [you] didn't have to pay extra. "
Why don't you offer it as a download if it is free?
The government should not be permitted to get rid of whomever they don't like just by crafting an arbitrary and unanswerable demand such as, "if you don't disclose the precise chemical formula used to generate the shade of blue ink on your business cards within 24 hours, we're shutting you down." As far as I'm concerned, this is an equally unanswerable demand.
They aren't shutting them down they are saying put up or get out. What's the difference between saying if you sell me something fraudulantly then I will press charges and then the other side getting all indignant about it. They aren't shutting diebold down. Diebold has a choice to follow the law, just like they had a choice to use windows. If they don't want to follow the demands of the customer let them back out.

Wow. You take the cake on ignorant posts.

And what does what a creationist would say have to do with the penal code?
I'm waiting for web 3.1
Screw 3.1. It is teh sux0r. 3.11 with Workgroups allow you to network with other Computers and it will introduce a bunch of new buzzwords.

When the systems die at peak trading, it's 10s of millions in revenue lost. An hour.
Am i the only one that read that as 10 silver out of millions lost?

Errr. I mean how do they cripple it so people will buy their real product?
In what way do they cripple it to make no one buy their real product?
Nope- because God is no more complex than the concept of a random and indeterministic universe. The two concepts are equally complex.

You want to get in a huff about something? Do some research on the 16th amendment and discover that it was never ratified.
Actually do some research and see that this argument has lost a serious number of court cases.
I don't have time to read through the actual source but here are some links:

You agree?
I'll be right over with a gun...
You are really obtuse. No fucking kidding! Not everyone has seen the movie you retard.
You never dropped a fake spoiler on someone on purpose before?
OMG...I've never gotten a Troll moderation before.
Look at the comment after yours...at one time slashdrones would at least have a sense of humor. They must be the new model.
Oh just because the only 2 black characters in the movie die at the end you think they were tokens?
Or were you talking about them having to kill the weird girl when she goes berserk?
It's fair because you agree to it fully aware before you hand over your money.
The big company doesn't have to pay an inflated fee to subsidize; they can choose to not pay any fee and do without.
Jesus, I don't even like microsoft. I also have no idea why people choose to subsidize..
