    You don't have to sacrifice stability of security if you wall of binary-only drivers from sensative areas - granting them access ONLY to what they need to access. Access is requested via an API call - requests resources - and logs the requests and assigns them. If a driver attempts to write outside it's space - blammo denied. If a driver attempts to read outside it's space - blammo denied. Driver stops responding - Blammo killed.

    "Evolution .... It isn't a proven fact nor is it even supported a tremendous weight of evidence." It's supported by an incredible ammount of evidence - infact modern biological science doesn't make sense without evolution. We have seen evolution occur, we have caused evolution to occur - a fundmental mechanism required for evolution to occur was discovered and described BY A MONK years ago!. He described genetic inheritance!

    I want one of your "scientific examples of data that contradict the theory of evolution". You're probably thinking of the "history of speciation" which is still under revision and not actually thinking of evolution. "In biology, evolution is the process by which populations of organisms acquire and pass on novel traits from generation to generation, affecting the overall makeup of the population and even leading to the emergence of new species."

    Wow.. you are spewing seven types of BS

    It's been proven my repeated indepenant studies that Fox News is so biased and mixes opinion and news so freely [intentionally] that they have engendered inaccurate knowledge in 80% of their viewers.

    People who watch fox news have been shown to be less accurately inclined about the real world than people who watch/listen to BBC American, PBS, NPR

    Infact ABC/CBS/NBC aren't too much better than Fox - and you know all the factually inaccuracies they push off favor the administration's positions.

    For example in one quite pointed study about misconceptions and support of the Iraq war three questions were asked - and the more of them they got wrong the more likely they were to be the following
    A) Supporters of the war
    B) Fox news viewers

    the "higher creator" introduces additional, unneeded, complexity to the system and simply begs the question of "Where did we come from" because additional complexity must be explained. Just because an individual is smarter than you in one field doesn't mean they're any more or less immune to the mental compartmentalization process required to become religious than you. Religion is a strongly neurochemically addictive entity as it evokes "joyful feelings" which are your positive-reward-neurotransmitters which you are naturally addicted to. Addictive drugs emulate/cause the release of these and that's one of the reasons why they are addictive. Most religious individuals I have argued with follow the same exact pattern of argument as drug addicts in my not-so-small expirience.

    Tehre is no double standard - just a poorly worded standard that was put to words by the mediocre not the experts. "Software wants to be free" doesn't mean "software doesn't want it's author to be credited with it's production", and it doesn't mean "software wants it's licensing agreements violated". More like software "wants it to be licensed on a free-basis". You give away the software, and sell the support. That's more-or-less what the company I work at does. We're a state contractor (that's our exclusive thing) - we write all the apps for free, and many of them don't generate revenue. We get our revenue from transaction fees on some of on the software.

    You've been hoodwinked - competition would not drive the price below profitable levels - becuase it wouldn't be feasable for ANY company to do so. Now one companies profitable price may be unmatchable by another company: sucks to be that dumbass company who cannot compete.

    Competition drives innovation, and lowers prices - it also forces the inept and the profiteering out of the market.
