Paramilitary group? Why watch SCA people? Give me a CAR-15 and a few thousand rounds, and I could obliterate every SCA member in this state. Hopefully the government's instead monitoring groups which have actual capabilities.
These are essentially romantic notions. I won't need to know how to make soap, or sew, unless civilization collapses. And since there's as much chance of that as there is in god existing, I'll stick with my specialization, which is efficient and lucrative.
There's no point in arguing for the sex scene, which if anything was too tame, but it can be easily argued that you're wrong about the CG being too good to notice mistakes. During the courtyard scene where Neo fights dozens of Smiths it's obvious several times that Neo's face is unrealistically simple. The CG was amazing, best I've ever seen, but there's no point arguing it was flawless.
I have several Win2k installations and they run with great stability. Crashes are nonexistent. I have good hardware (Dell) and good software (Mathematica 4, Visual C++), and perhaps crappier hardware or software would make it less stable.
$15k for a meter of stereo wire? Holy crap--I need to get into this bidness. Maybe I can think up some useless crap to get rich selling to people, like the genius who came up with parallel-wiring speakers.
That's a funny title. Reminds me that I want to collect a list of funny dismissive things like that. Why not? is a good one. I also like How about that. (As seen in that new phil jackson commercial for something)
That's so cool! It Was taipan. thanks to everone who reminded me what the name was. How awesome that game was. I don't know if I want to find it now and play it though. It sucking would ruin the sentimental enjoyment, kind of like when I resaw Buckaroo Banzai when I was 19. Talk about ruined.

I can't be sure it's dishonesty--I've known people who forced themselves to believe some creationism stuff in order to remain christians. There's an old creationism case, Edwards v Aguillard, which went to the supreme court. A 'friend of the court' brief was filed arguing that creationism was not science. It was signed by, among others, 72 Nobel Laureates.
When 72 Nobel Laureates say your 'science' isn't science, your boat is sinking.
Speaking of this topic, my favorite anti-evolutionist thing is the 'analogy' of evolution to a tornado in a junkyard putting together a plane. What a piece of junk that argument is. I think you have to laugh about anti-evolution things, or you'll just get depressed about humanity.

'Irreducible complexity' is crap. What complex structure exists which does not contain any independently-useful substructure? None I've ever seen.
So was another game on i think the trs-80 where you were on a boat, and you bought/sold goods, and occasionally fell victim to pirates. I can't for the life of me remember that one. It was terrific.

And I wish everyone could see them at work. It's really kind of breathtaking how stumbling around in the parameter space, and filtering the bad missteps, can mimic the results of engineering. I think the minor problem of the small number of noisy anti-evolutionists would become even more minor. I mean, it's kind of hard to say that an algorithm doesn't work when you can compile a few thousand lines of c and then watch it work.

"Caddillac"? That's already a made-up make. What do you want?
No one can be told what the Gordita is...

The movie should be based solely on the episode where the chix are naked.

this topic is just going to provide more evidence that moderators on slashdot need a -5 Creationist selection.
You're making fun of someone else's brains while you spell it "conveinece"?
There really needs to be a -5 Creationist moderation selection.
If you're going to scream-capitalize words, at least spell them correctly, creationist.
What's that mean?
Or how about "Tubes are for Rubes"

Wow--only 8.000 euros for the speakers? That's amazing. That's like $11. But what's with the extra significant digits?
HA! But they aren't complex enough to qualify.

I'm convinced--they should all be upgraded.
