Guys.. the article says that the contrails actually decreased the temperature. FLY MORE! It's what we conservatives have been telling you people for years. Fly more, airline hires more, workers buy more, we all benefit.
I sat here reading the list of replies to the Y2K question and I began to be amazed at the usefulness, civility and maturity of the replies. What's happened to the public networks?
Where are the wacko's complaining about deforestation? Our "dwinding" tree supply is almost run out here in America! WHERE IS THE UPROAR? I CAN ONLY SEE A MILLION TREES IN MY BACKYARD! SOMEONE HELP US!
er... sorry.. just figured any article that mentioned trees should have some misinformed idiot complaining about the 3 trees we have left in the world due to evil Americans. Just helping keep the community stay alive...
Let's just make something clear folks. This "unwritten law" he is talking about has been around for quite some time. He's suing the United States government here.. not Ashcroft. Ashcroft has had little to do with this particular piece of "unwritten law" other than he currently represents the justice department at this current time. This could easily have been a Bush Sr., Clinton, or other nomineee.
You libs who love to hate Ashrcroft because he's a Christian... keep that in mind before you start knee jerking and complaining about how Ashcroft is the next anti-christ.
er.. scratch that... you believe we came from monkeys... not a higher power.
I hate to point out the obvious, but you probably haven't gotten a job yet because you have poor communication skills.
The freedom you have is to choose to spend your money on health insurance, or a car, or a house, or food, or clothes, or toys, or the computer you are typing this on, or any number of things. When the government starts taking my money or your money to provide health insurance to someone, those freedoms quickly erode.
Freedom to an American means the freedom to get up every day and work hard so that you can provide what you need for your family and maybe have a little left over for wants. Freedom to eurotrash means being able to sit on their pasty white ass while someone else who is working hard pays for the things they need and want. Especially those greedy Americans who think that a person should actually earn an honest living.
Imagine that? Hard to do if you are eurotrash, eh?
It takes you hours to send an email back that could easily be generated in seconds with a username and password?
It's pretty obvious to me exactly what the problem is here. Who wants to wait several hours for you to get around to sending them an email with a username and password to download your product. I sure as hell don't want to, especially if there is a competitor's product available without such a beauracratic red-tape wait.
Your company is a little clueless when it comes to customer service, eh?
Can you do one single Political story without letting us know that you think Bush is an ass? I know this is your site, but is it really appropriate to make it so painfully clear that you hate another human as much as you do Bush?
Guys.. Midori means green in Japanese. The girl on the page with green hair is further evidence as this. Maybe they are using green to represent the lower power consumption?
This is a good example of how the masses are ignorant of what parts of science are facts, what are theories and what are estimates.
Anyone who has studied carbon dating knows that it's always an estimate and that the estimate is usually modified to fit better with the carbon dating number of other things in the location the object was found.
For example, if they dated a rock to 140mil years, but the plant matter only dated to 100mil years, they would adjust them both so that they are closer. The idea is that since they were both found in a location that is assumed to be old and they both are found together, the carbon dating must be a little off, so it needs to be adjusted since it would make no sense for them to be so far apart. You see how this is circular reasoning.
I'm not making this up. Study carbon dating, the process and how they come up with the numbers.. it's quite astonishing how much is guessed.
Rudementary physics is the basis for more complicated physics. Yes, those rudementary laws are broken (or appear to me in our limited knowledge) when you talk about quantum physics, but the laws always apply.
We do not believe that God spends his entire day (if you want to call it that) sitting around and taking care of our problems, but he does love his creations and he is concerned and cares about them. If you have a child, you will know what I'm talking about. You created that child and you care about them, you want them to accomplish things and do well in life (well doesn't necessarily mean financially) and you love them and want them to love you back. The relationship between God and us is very much the same.
I'm not so stupid or arrogant to think that God isn't concerned with other things. The Bible doesn't not say specifically, but I would imagine that there are other planets that God has created with people (or the equivalent) on them. I don't know for sure, but I do know that He is capable and is not wasteful.
I don't even know what your small pox statement really means honestly. A Christian can easily be recognized by their actions. Christ was nothing but kind, charitable and loving to every person he met. If someone calls themselves a Christian but attempts to destroy someone, do you really think they are a Christian? If a white person murders my wife, are all white people murderers? If I call myself a US Senator, but continue to go to my job at McDonalds, am I a US Senator?
I'm a Christian. The earth is actually about 10,000 years old and dinosoars are not a hoax, they are described clearly in the Old Testament. It would be silly to think such a thing since there is tons of evidence that they existed.
There are a lot of people here making fun of Christians and generally agreeing with an article that basically said nothing at all other than "we are right, Bible thumping hayseeds are wrong!". Have any of you actually read the scientific proof that the article talks about? Do you even understand what the article is trying to say? I didn't, because it never gave any scientific information.. only that Darwin is somehow vidicated.
It's sad how as Christians we are laughed at for believing in a omnipotent creator who designed and created this world for us, but scientists who subscribe to theories such as the "Big Bang" are not, even though they are physically impossible if you apply even rudementary physics to their theories. There is nothing wrong with a theory, but why do so many people believe them as factual evidence without a resonable amount of proof? Are we taught in public school to be so blind and un-inquisitive that we don't even challenge supposedly factual information based on a theory?
Both creationism and the evolution can not be proved 100%, but I can give you more concrete and physically possible examples to help prove creationism than a scientist could for evolution. That is why I believe it. Not because I know 100%, but because the proof that is avaiable points towards creationism and away from evolution.
To start off... scientists use circular reasoning (that is a bad thing) to figure out the age of old rocks, animals and plant matter. They use the rocks to determine the age of the plants and animals and use the plants and animals to determine the age of the rocks. No joke here.. the ages they place on things are only estimates.. as they rightly should be given the way they do it.
It's sad that this type of stuff is believed as true science.
You know... I used to love/., but more and more it's turning into a forum for wacko's on the fringe of life who complain and bitch about idiotic shit.
The comment that advertisements will somehow whittle away at our privacy is moronic. Do you expect everything in left to be free? Do you expect that companies should just fall over themselves to offer you high quality software for free? Do you think you are the only person on this planet? Of course you do, you 60's reject.
My advice? Stop your whining and bitching and get over it. Opera is a quality piece of software, much more so than, Mozzilla, the biggest piece of bug ridden vaporware to come out in some time. Mozzilla is nothing compared to *real* open source projects who actually work and provide usable quality software. For those of us who can't afford to help pay the *enormous* costs of software development, we are given a choice to be able to still use the product in return for viewing ads. But you would rather whine like a little child and prefer to use and promote an unusable alternative.
I liked you and/. better before your heads started staying up your asses.
I will agree that many times you do not get the candidates you really wish were running, but do you think that you are the only person in this country? Where does someone get off thinking that they deserve a candidate that is a perfect clone of them as far as issues go? Who actually believes they will ever attain that? It's about voting for the candidate that you think will be the best leader for our country. I will not beleive that someone actually thinks that the two candidates are *exactly* the same and one would not be better than the other. You are lying to yourself if you beleive that.
Get out and vote. One of the candidates has to be closer to the way you believe than the other. They may both be *moderates* on the outside, but Bush is a conservative at heart, as is Gore a liberal deep down.
The people who don't vote are not trying to make a statement. They are uninformed (read uneducated, not stupid) and ignorant.
They don't really care about the candidates and never would be, even if our political system was different. They are more concerned with sitting on their couches watching Alley McBeal than they could possibly be with the future direction of our country. They have no idea what the issues are, nor do they even understand the magnatude of electing supreme court justices. Their parents were ignorant and they will teach their children to be ignorant.
We are considering using NFS as a backend storage facility for our web cluster nodes, but we are concerned with the performance of that type of setup as opposed to replicated data on the local web server nodes. Are you using the NFS server for this purpose?
The patent is idiotic, the lawsuite is idiotic... I'll never buy from Amazon again and as a matter of fact, I specifically went to fatbrain.com to buy a book two days ago instead of amazon, just for this reason.
Um, that's what they deserve for using a sorry ass frame cloud to do business. Frame relay isn't worth a shit and any ISP worth it's salt knows this. Sure it's cheaper, but hell, so is not being in business, which is what will happen to these cheap businesses... you have to spend money to make money and if you buy poor, you stay poor.

He shoots, he scores again! You imbicles should actually learn something about your rights and freedoms before bitching about it.
You fool.

The book of "Job" specifically. I don't have a Bible with me, but I would be glad to get you a reference.
No...
We are a nation that was born out of Christian beliefs and the wish to worship our creator without anyone incarcerating or worse killing us.
There are a lot of people here making fun of Christians and generally agreeing with an article that basically said nothing at all other than "we are right, Bible thumping hayseeds are wrong!".
