Don't mistake my really wanting you to shut up with an attempt at an argument. OTOH, since you seem to like the "sound" of your own voice and the look of your own vain attempt at conveying intelligence, let me first not that what you are doing is NOT examining both sides logically, as you claim. YOU , Sir, are the one reducing to calling opposing positions "stupid" and "ignorant." For someone who claims to care so little for God or any notion of Him, you sure take dramatic steps to demonstrate His shortcomings. What happened in your life to make you so emotional about this? Did you lose a parent or a sibling that you prayed for mercy for? Or did you embark on some deviant lifestyle that you just can't seem to justify unless you kill God? You are putting for argumentation, I would agree, but most of what I'm seeing is a man consumed by anger. A man in relentless pursuit of all the evidence he can scrounge together to ease a tortured soul. Go...live your life in the COMFORT that should come with the "truth" that God is dead. You've made your point. You're continued rantings suggest you have bigger issues..
Will he stop? We shall see! Stay tuned!
The red flag here is "300%." I don't think anyone can take it seriously with such a large desparity. That's like two hybrid car makers competing and the salesman tells a customer "Yeah, they get 50mpg but ours gets a bagillion-zillion!"
Really! Apparently not a lot of people know this. Like, publishers! And any scientist willing to go on record! And any form of documentation that could pass muster! But hey, if you say it then screw 'em all! You, Sir, are delusional.
Intellegent design appeals to ignorance? You, Sir, are an idiot. So by your logic, if I see a chair and assume it was skillfully designed, I'm appealing to my ignorance? or the person to whom I'm describing it?
Once again, folks, it's very simple. Everyone one wants to put everyone in a corner. If you're a Creationist, you're not a Scientist. If you're a scientist you're not a Creationist. As soon as someone produces an example to the contrary, someone cries fowl. There are scientific premises for Creationism as well as Evolution. You don't have to be a Christian to believe that all this came from somewhere. You don't have to be a scientist to believe we're all here by chance. Don't show your ignorance by pigeon-holing everyone with your rhetoric.
Argue more intelligently or stfu.
Are you suggesting Gore built the Internet from existing technology? Of course not. What Gore MAY have done is vote on legislation opening up the Internet or maybe funding the Internet (DARPA more likely). To give him credit for it's creation is a bit outside. This is more a show of support for someone with who they share a political mindset than anything here. Shit, call a spade a spade, grow some balls, Webby!
So "creating" is better? I'm sorry, the notion the two are separated by a huge swaft is lost on me.

The problem here is simple. What is wrong with another company existing in a space that has nothing to do with your core products. "Your Honor, I think we're up to Exhibit R: MS is Evil, but to be honest I'd have to start counting again." MS is the beast outside the village that we keep feeding in hopes it will not eat our children.
Okay, I first read that as "Online Exorcist." I'm thinking, how does THAT work?

This probably has little to do with "interoperability." Wanna know how to get Windows to work with OSS? Look at the source. Hell, it's OPEN! That's, oddly enough, what the OPEN in Open Source Software is.
Point taken. I seem to recall a story, though, where Apple had initially thought that current MAC users would adopt them and were surprised that so many PC users did. Though, that would be kinda odd given that they can use standard PC kb's, mice, and monitors. You are right, it isn't typical.
The Mini works like any other Mac. I think it's missing a microphone but I don't know about the others. I use a Mac Mini and it works great! I don't have a subset of features or anything. I can rip CD's, burn DVD's, it recognizes my USB drives, Firewire drives, my iPod, I can even rip video off my camcorder. All this with my existing monitor.
I suppose if you have no concern about how underhanded dealings has ensured the company who has stranglehold on over 90% of the market retains their monopoly then by all means, keep them on Windows.
I, for one, hope it fails miserably. I can dream that M$ would pin their hopes on it and bet the bank and slowly go bankrupt or at least be reduced to actually having to COMPETE with other software makers, but that's just a dream. The screenshots look far too much like Win2k3 and XP for anyone to be visually blown away at this point.
When sales go down, it's piracy not "the market." Will they get it? That's the question. I'm afraid it will take some time of people just not buying in for them to understand what the people want. Basically, we want our digital music like our vinyl.
Until Wal-Mart can sell $100 Digital TV's, this just isn't going to happen. If not, the converter better be cheap. The money made on beer ads and McDonald's commercials dwarfs the severity of the situation.
"You know me, Marge! I like my TV loud, my beer cold, and my signal analog!"
Produce a what? Look...PUBLIC education establishments not only get money from tuition, they also receive FEDERAL dollars. FED-ER-AL Had you taken the time to pass Contemporary History you'd know that FEDERAL means TAX DOLLARS. "Is it me? It's him, right?"

Umm....okay?
Guess not.

Wasn't yesterday "Bite the hand that feeds you by turning your boss to the BSA Day?" Gotta love the BSA!
(YAWN) Oh, cool! More evidence M$ is Evil! I don't mean "evil" as a descriptor, I mean Evil itself!
Ain't it cool!?
