The best way to keep a species around is to eat it. You'll never see chickens and cows go extinct so long as they are yummy.
That said, your argument is ridiculous. Species go extinct all the time, regardless of human intervention. It's called natural selection and we're not apart from it. If a species goes extinct because of us then it wasnt fit to live. Likewise if something comes along and kills all of us we werent fit to survive. Those are the breaks.
Sorry.. we do have a dress code where we work. If someone can't manage to wear clean clothes that include long pants and a collared shirt every day because it's a little too restraining, they can't work here.
Fuck you and your dress code. I've dealt with shit bags like you for 20 years. I don't meet with customers. There is no reason why I cant wear shorts to work. You're a pretentious douche bag. Listen here, people don't like being fucking zombies, walking single file into their cubicle farm to be barked at by a fuckwad like you about fucking TPS reports. Assholes like you walk around the office looking like fucking peacocks stinking up the office with your god-awful cologne and hitting on every chick in the office until she quits and files a sexual harassment suit.
I've done just fine for decades in my shorts and t-shirts when its 105 degrees outside. You want to wear a suit and tie in that kind of weather, be my fucking guest. Just don't sit next to me with your BO stink mixed with cheap cologne. I sincerely hope an employee slaps this piss out of you for being such an anal fucking douche bag. You would deserve it.
I've never seen creationists "shout down" anyone. That's always been your side of the isle. Case in point, your referring to them as "morons" right off the bat. I think you should look to yourself for any failures to communicate here, not them. They are taking the time to invite Bill there and hear him. You do the opposite.
If Bill Nye accepted this invitation, it gives the creationists far more exposure than they deserve.
Remember, if you wrestle a pig, you both get dirty, and the pig enjoys it.
Because only talking to the people that agree with you will win you converts............ This is the same bullshit attitude with politics today. "They don't agree with me, they are wrong, evil, stupid, crazy and I'm not going to talk to them."
You know how Christianity spread throughout the world? By Christians going out and talking to the people that didn't agree with them. Every time they were met with hostility, violence and torture but in the end, in most countries they brought people to their religion with compassion and patience. Not many atheists go to warlord controlled countries to delivery medical supplies while unarmed and unprotected. Christians do and that resonates with people.
All I ever see from the atheists like you is vile, hateful rhetoric aimed at shaming and hurting people. You know what that makes me want to do? Ignore you. But since I myself am a Christian I'm taking the time to post this out of compassion. I know you'll mock and ridicule me but I don't care. I'm still reaching out and engaging int he discussion, on your terms, in your arena. Can you say you do the same?
Nothing else needed, why are we even discussion this?
Not everyone wants to walk around with $1000+ in cash in their pocket so they can make a big purchase. And when you lose cash, it's really lost to you - if someone steals the cash from your pocket, there's little hope of recovery unless they happen to catch the thief, at least if they steal your credit card, you can report the fraud and get your money back.
PSS: Just because some drug addict on the radio says something, doesn't mean it true.
Think for yourself.. Do some research.
I'm going to assume you're talking about Rush Limbaugh there. I think the one needing education on this is you as Rush has never held any of these views nor espoused them on the air as anything other than a joke. Furthermore, the drug addict part is a very low blow since he wasn't abusing pain killers for recreational purposes but due to a valid and well documented back problem. He became addicted like a lot of people due. When he got called out on it he did something about it. Unlike our current president who was a well known drug abuser, everything from pot to cocaine. He's also unapologetic about it and never sought any help.
You mock the poster for lies and lack of education but display a heavy amount of it yourself.
Give up, NSA. Have the national discussion you should have had a generation ago. We'll talk about it.
If we decide as a nation to go down that path... so be it.
No we won't talk about it. Our founders already did that while drafting the Constitution, Bill of Rights and Federalist papers. No discussion is to be had, our privacy and right against unreasonable search and seizure is absolute. Talk until you're blue int he face, it doesn't change anything. It is a RIGHT, an inalienable HUMAN RIGHT.
There is no compromise on this. Discussion is over.
'iOS 7 introduced a much more complex physical language while stripping out many of the visual cues that developers had relied on to instruct users.
Like what? I don't have an iOS device, so I'm not really sure what they're talking about.
I'm not sure what "physical language" means in terms of a none physical medium such as software but if I had to venture a guess I would say they are talking about the new "flat" design where buttons and such are not raised but simply look like hyperlinks on web pages. On top of that the previous way you access spotlight is gone, no longer to the far left screen but brought down from the top view swiping in the middle of the screen, while swiping from the top down brings down notifications and swiping up from the bottom brings up some default apps like the calculator and music controls etc.
It's rather confusing to tell some to swipe down to access notifications, only for them to end up in spotlight because they didn't swipe down from far enough up on the screen. Plus there literally is no "visual cue" for any of this swiping. Most people don't even know this shit exists.
I'm just the opposite. I cut the cord for about two years and am now back to DirecTV. My wife and I were insanely bored with the Netflix/Amazon Prime offerings and I grew incredibly tired of them suddenly removing content we had on our lists. I was also sick of the sudden outages and after Netflix deleted my list for the 3rd time I had enough.
We can watch the new shows as they come on and can DVR them. I dont have to catch the shows I missed on TPB or Kickass.to and download them. I have access to everything I want AND I still have my Amazon Prime account should I actually want it (hint: we havent touched Prime since we got DirecTV back).
I'd love to cut the cord but the offerings out there are pathetic still.
As others have asked, does it run MS office? You saw this right "wants to stay with Vista and MS Office."
No it runs iWork, which is free and better for home use. Now fuck off troll.

Although John Carmack's engine opened up a lot of possibilities, John Romero's level designs were also a big part of Doom's success. The key difference is that Romero hasn't done much since Daikatana landed with a thud.
It's worse than that. When I was a kid I was interested in programming before I ever had access to computers at school that could support it. I did Visual Basic and Delphi at home on the family PC, and also on the 386 it replaced that I had commandeered. It was at least 3 years before I was in a position to buy my own.
I feel sorry for the coming generation of kids who will know nothing but locked down, hostile devices that will have to convince their parents that they need a real computer, particularly if their parents are computer averse.
Did I miss something? Are desktop machines suddenly going away? I'm pretty sure even Apple is still selling them. I'm also fairly sure that most kids who will be into CS will also be into PC gaming and will likely have a PC or will at the very least be exposed to them at friends houses, school and public libraries.
Is the sky really falling or are you simply being ridiculous?
An error existing in typographical form doth not be a typographical error? 'Twas grammatical then? Nay. Oh, ye silly ape, concerned as to intent of minimal noise in a single signal. Language -- the embodiment of imperfection in conveyance -- hath consumed thee and wasted be thine cognition thereupon this layer of transport.

Claim today thine self as cause to their weeping upon rust streaked cheeks; Once masters, now their lesser, thee balk like so many BASIC prompts from fonder times now surpassed. How blind must mortals be to remark upon one anothers' minor imperfections instead of meaning? Stand thee as Gods on high before grammarian altars and yet slay thine selves symbolically; Eyes cloaked by chauvinisms hood thee call out, "Syntax Error!", and ye be casted upon sharp null-pointed rock below.

Having won internal signal correction through unspeakable sacrifice, rising to fulfill demand of them to know thine meaning, now thee curse them shed cooling drops from optic ports upon self slain parents.

The rules of modern day America are pretty simple. You have liberty to do whatever you like, but DON'T FUCK WITH THE OWNERS.
Ummm, thats the rule everywhere on Earth that is civilized and not run by warlords, communists or socialists. If someone else owns something, don't fuck with it, it's not yours.
However, since you're so cool with taking other peoples things and doing as you wish. I'll be at your house soon to take your furniture, piss on your carpets and jack up your insurance premiums. You're welcome to hire security to protect your property but in this new world you've created I'm not liable for your costs. I get to piss on your shit for free. Thanks for the new world order.
And this is a problem with the US justice system, in my opinion.
"Been done since the 1980s" doesn't make it right.
You're right. Let's go back to the 1600's instead and lock them up until they pay it off, only don't give them any means to earn the money to pay it off.
Hell, let's go back to the 1200's and just behead them. I mean fuck it, why waste the money.
A sit in on private property is illegal. I know people these days have a hard time grasping concepts like property rights and the rights of invididuals but please do try and keep up. You don't get to amass a large crowed and sit on my property denying me and my family and people I choose to have around access to it. Do it peacefully and you'll get a slap on the wrist. Vandalize it and destroy my property and I'll fucking shoot your stupid ass.
I bet if the "suspect" was named "John Smith" and white he might not have been arrested.
I'm surprised that didn't make it into the summary.
Fuck you. Always some douche bag bleeding heart liberal around to scream racism isn't there? Piss ants like you have destroyed any credibility that term once had.
