  1. Re:You are only hurting yourself you know.... on Kansas Board of Ed. Adopts Intelligent Design · · Score: 1

    Except that I.D. is based on fact and evolutionism has been disproven plenty of times.
    Here's a nice reply from another forum:
    I love these articles, pretending Intelligent Design is non-scientific. Intelligent Design is about Irreducible Complexity, and came from the study of nano-machines contained in our cells. For example, the smallest motor in the world is contained in every mithochondria. If one atom out of the thousands in this motor is out-of-place, you don't get a poorer design, you get a pile of junk that won't work.

    Does this sound like scientific work to you? Did I quote the Bible? I.D. is much more scientific than evolution. I.D. is based on micro-biology and biochemistry using the latest in xray defraction technology to probe the inner workings of cells. I definitely want my children exposed to this science.

  2. GPL on Should Linux Have a Binary Kernel Driver Layer? · · Score: 1

    *Any* linking is enough to require GPL. The only reason binary modules are possible at all is because Linux is not licensed under simply the GPL, but includes an exception making it licensed under a modified version of the GPL.

  4. Re:Why can't we let market forces rule here? on MP3 Company Refuses to Pay Swedish Copyright Levy · · Score: 1

    Produce it yourself. Get a good sound card and record the music. Encode some 64 kbit Vorbis and MP3s and stick them on a website. Offer FLACs for a cost. If your price is right and the music is good, people will buy it. If you need some exposure, stick your Vorbis/MP3 files on the common P2P networks.

    ...and don't forget to enjoy writing and playing the music...

  5. Re:For Vonage on Skype With Your Cell Phone · · Score: 1

    Sure, Vonage is crap, but not because of quality... It's crap because it doesn't play nice with other VoIP users, forces people to buy locked ATAs, and is expensive.

  6. Re:Most obvious solution on Earth Releasing More CO2 Than Originally Thought · · Score: 0

    That's what people who advocate contraception say, and many countries are actually paying people to have kids because there are more old people than young people so they're not reproducing enough. Also, if you have fewer kids, that's fewer chances of raising someone who could find a cure for cancer. It's people like you who say have less kids who aren't solving any problems. We need kids to take care of all the old people and plant more trees to reduce the CO2. There's plenty of food for all of us - governments just need to stop being greedy and actually give it to the people who need it.

    Besides, if population were a problem (it's not; Earth can handle at least 35 bil), then God would be calling much more people to the celibate life instead of to matrimony-- tho I guess you could dismiss this point since there's so few Catholics, the vast majority would ignore their callings anyway. Since they won't listen to God, perhaps you can convince them to stop having sex? :)

    Anyway, the solution is simple: Mandate that everyone recycle the CO2 they produce. A good start would be requiring one house-plant per person in the household...

  7. Re:A bold one on GPL to be Modified to Penalize Patents and DRM · · Score: 1

    If it wasn't legal by default, M$ would have been sued out of existence long ago.

  8. Re:I dated a giant chick once... on Evidence Dinosaurs Are Like Giant Chicks · · Score: 1

    There's this new idea that timezones might actually be used on the internet...

  9. Re:So.... on Blu-Ray To Punish Users for Modifying Hardware · · Score: 1

    That makes it easy :)
    1. Hack firmware to allow anything
    2. Set firmware.version to infinity+1
    3. Burn BluRay disc w/ firmware

  10. Re:Dead Battery on Mazda Switches To USB Keys · · Score: 1

    I have a friend who's mostly immune to problems like these. He simply leaves his car unlocked all the time... he also leaves his ignition key in the car. Sigh, I miss small towns sometimes...

  11. Re:7-Zip on New Winzip in the Works · · Score: 1

    Can I have some free $, too? :p

  12. Power usage on New IrDA Spec Shoots for 100Mbit/s Data Rate · · Score: 1

    IIRC, IR uses a fraction of the power WiFi requires-- I've left it active on my handheld by accident and didn't notice any significant battery drain difference at all.

  13. Re:The real reason? on King Kong vs. Movie Pirates · · Score: 1

    Not sure what 50 Cents is, but wouldn't someone who downloads Britney Spears deserve a conviction to attend a rehab of some sort?

  14. Re:The ID "theory" is self contridicting. on Scientist Says Most Scientific Papers Are Wrong · · Score: 1

    There's a difference between simply faith and blind faith.

  15. Re:jabber users? on Google Talk Claims Openness, Lacks S2S Support · · Score: 1

    I require anyone who wants to IM me use standards. Very rarely am I online the non-standards-compliant IM services.

  16. Re:Just to flesh out this 'Stallman' character on Stallman Claims Linux Trademark Doesn't Matter · · Score: 1

    Your cat cannot possibly comprehend the idea of a spiritual soul at all, let alone an eternal one, since it does not have a spiritual soul itself. If it tells you that you don't, it's simply lying.

    I highly doubt you're perfect as you claim to be...

    Other faiths are lies.

    I'm saying a country should base its laws on fact, including this one.

  19. Re:[OT] Abortion on Stallman Claims Linux Trademark Doesn't Matter · · Score: 1

    A fetus is a person, and that is not only fact, but one that has been scientifically proven.

    No, they never actually entered the property-- but does that give them any less a right to exit fairly?

  20. Re:[OT] Abortion on Stallman Claims Linux Trademark Doesn't Matter · · Score: 1

    Daddy is the rapist, not Baby. I don't believe we have held children responsible for their parents' sins for quite some time...

    Even if the visitor is unwillingly damaging the owner's health or property, they still have a right to be given a fair chance to leave. If it would kill the owner for them to leave, it's a tough issue for the owner-- since there is never really any circumstances one can be 100% sure of this.

  21. Re:MSNMessenger tied to Passport, not Hotmail on Google Talk Claims Openness, Lacks S2S Support · · Score: 1

    So pick an email provider that also runs a parallel IM server... your ISP should be doing this, though it's not likely they are.

    Humans have eternal souls. Animals do not. Yes, a big difference.

  24. Re:[OT] Abortion on Stallman Claims Linux Trademark Doesn't Matter · · Score: 1

    This is really no different from trespassing. The mother has invited a new person to develop and live inside her for 9 months. If she suddenly decides to change her mind, she must allow that person a reasonable chance to leave her property. If you invite someone onto your land and later decide you don't want them there, you can't just take a shotgun to them...

    If the state should allow abortion, they should allow murder of trespassers, even those who have been invited onto the land.

  25. Re:Same old RMS on Stallman Claims Linux Trademark Doesn't Matter · · Score: 1

    You're missing that Adobe isn't part of the system. Linux is just this one small program that interacts with your hardware (mainly). GNU refers to the majority of the OS (if non-GUI).
