  1. Re:Predictive power of evolution! on Convergent Evolution Upends Honeyeaters' Taxonomy · · Score: 1

    I don't believe we've ever observed speciation occur. Nor have we observed macroevolution.

    We have.

    Calling macro evolution a fact when it has not ever been observed is a different use of the word fact than I'm familiar with.

    It has been observed.

    Likewise, I have seen shows on the Discovery channel and it's networks, that would say one thing about scientific item, then the next show would say something else. Or one would talk about a hoax, and the next would cite the hoax as a source.

    Examples?

    Evolution has been a theory for not very long

    Just more than 100 years.

    evolution is a theory, but the scientific community holds to it as if it WERE a law

    You clearly need to educate yourself about scientific terminology.

    known hoaxes were mentioned as proof

    Such as?

    Wake me up when they're competing with the likes of Motorola and Nokia

    Is any single Nokia smartphone/high-end model selling more than the iPhone?

    "Opera: They're still around on X86 platforms? I thought they died out and only did DS and Wii browsers and diddled with X86 adware."

    Still around, and doubled their user base from 2006 to 2008. 53% revenue increase from the desktop version last quarter. 1/4 of Opera's total revenue comes from the desktop browser.

    He didn't change his policy. The text was edited for clarity.

    What you are basically saying is that if lots of people misunderstand you, you shouldn't make attempts to clarify. Amazing.

  10. Re:cmon people on Obama Launches Change.gov · · Score: 1

    He's "principled", where "principled" means that the real world doesn't matter. Only the principles. That's dangerous. And since he's a religious fundamentalist, that only confirms that he is more concerned with faith/theorizing rather than real-world matters.

    Why do you hate america?

    That's funny, considering that the McCain/Palin campaign tried to pound in the message that "if you vote for Obama, you are not a real American.

    Are you a terrorist?

    That's funny, considering that the McCain/Palin campaign tried to label Obama as a terrorist/as having terrorist connections, and therefore hating America.

    Are you a socialist?

    That's funny, considering that the McCain/Palin campaign tried to label Obama as a socialist.

    In conclusion: Hypocritical fucktard.

    You don't necessarily have an unlimited data plan, no. And you didn't address the problem with bad networks. Move a bit outside the big cities and your phone's internet connection gets crappy real fast. That's another place where Opera Mini comes in handy.

    Maybe it sucks on Blackberries (some problems with the Blackberry JME apparently), but it's great on other phones.

    Safari actually fails on a lot of sites as well (it simply ignores some JavaScript for some reason). At least Opera Mini is extremely fast (and cheap if you pay per MB). And from my perspective, Opera Mini is perfectly capable of handling the sites I rely on.

  25. Re:Why... on Opera Mini Not Rejected From iPhone (Yet) · · Score: 3, Informative

    Opera Mini is faster because it gets highly compressed data. It's also a lot cheaper if you pay per MB.

    It doesn't make any sense. Unless it's a publicity stunt. That's the only answer that makes a lick of sense.

    Nope. Opera Mini actually has a place on the iPhone because it offers something truly unique with its compression. That makes it cheaper and faster than Safari for a lot of people. And besides, Opera Mini was ported to C/C++ more than a year ago, and considering that Opera Software makes a living porting browsers, there's no reason to doubt that it was ported.
