Good question. Why isn't there more effort by the religious to actively discredit quantum mechanics or gravity? Why do they only ever go after evolution? Surely they must have issues with the myriad other scientific theories, right?
Evolutionary theory makes no claims about the origin of life. Abiogenesis is not a part of evolutionary theory. It's little mixups like these that are really screwing things up.
Without the proper base of knowledge, no matter how simply you try to explain something, the other person just isn't going to understand it properly. There's only so much that intuition can help a person grasp at something, and the more complex the subject matter the less the help.
Even if the person doing the explaining fully understands the subject matter, if the person being explained to lacks the understanding of fundamental principles, it would not be possible to explain the subject matter to them without starting out by teaching them the fundamental principles. If there is a large body of knowledge that lays the groundwork it will take a long time to explain before you ever even get around to trying to explain the original subject matter. Hence people spend years in school studying the fundamentals in order to be able to have a chance at fully understand the original subject matter.
Long story short, car analogies are shit at best and rarely do more than confuse people.
Yes, you are, because there's nothing more wrong with music today than there was in whatever glory year you are pining for. Stop listening to crap music if you don't like it, there's still plenty of amazing artists out there producing music. Go look for them like you always had to but seem to have forgotten.
Except the fact that with IP no one loses anything when someone else uses it, and that any number of entities can use it simultaneously for disparate uses makes IP fundamentally different than physical property. Your claim that they are fundamentally identical is disingenuous as it completely ignores this fact.
Going back to the car analogy, if a car was fundamentally identical to IP, I could get in my car and drive to work. Simultaneously another person could strap a rocket to the top, get in my car, and fly it off a cliff. I get to work, they fly off a cliff and die a fiery death, everyone comes out happy. You can see how this just doesn't work with physical property and yet is trivially fundemental to IP...
The.Net framework is very closely tied to the IE engine
In what way is.NET tied to IE? WPF doesn't use Trident at all, and that's the only thing I can really think of that might be in.NET that could be tenuously tied to IE. So what am I missing?
You shouldn't have depended on Qt to write your program.
You shouldn't have depended on libgc to write your program.
You shouldn't have depended on libpcre to write your program.
Companies link against Trident (MSHTML) to perform some HTML rendering task. They do it because it's a commonly available library on Windows. It's just a library, there to use.
You ought to spend time whinging about other programs that use libraries that you don't want them to use. It's just as productive (and generally stupid).
Unless they whitelist programs that you can execute, you can just go to the Mozilla FTP server, find the nightly that corresponds to the latest release version of Firefox, and download the zip file. No installation necessary.
And again, the question is: who pays the employees of the ISP to find and report the requested information? Is the ISP supposed to just be out the money they need to pay their employees when they are operating at the behest of the police?
The request-time attributes + templating taglibs seen in JSP provide a much cleaner separation between logic and HTML.
Wait, are you serious? JSP is no better than classic ASP; it's arguably quite a bit worse than classic ASP since it isn't language agnostic. JSP is a defunct and outstandingly annoying technology to work with that encourages all sorts of bad habits.

Live is different for the 360; everyone with a 360 has Live because Live Silver is free. Subscribing gives you Live Gold, but it's still the same Live account.
Some days it runs just fine for me. Other days it crashes to the desktop every 10 minutes. *shrug* It usually seems to the nvidia driver crashing which takes down all of Fallout. Happened in Oblivion also.
Could be because I'm running it on Vista 64, who knows?
I would expect 3 to be a nonissue. The purpose of the hash search is to identify possible matches. Possible matches are then verified according to whatever stupid rubric is used to identify child porn. Therefore, a collision attack would create many false positives which would lower the usefulness of the search method but would not change the actual identification of child porn.
It's preposterous to assume that any lawyer defending a client accused of possessing child porn would throw up his hands in the face of the authorities only identification being based on a hash. Any non-retarded person would ask the next logical question: did you actually look at the image/video and verify?
This method is a convenience search. The authorities still have to go through all the other steps to identify and verify child porn. If anything this search method is more likely to make authorities lax and catch less people with child porn.
FFXI has gobs of story. And you have to do most of it anyway to get to cool new locations (which you will need to be able to get to otherwise you'll never get to level or get new gear), so you can't just claim you never saw it (unless you never go anywhere in the game).
Now, the game is crap, of course...and I say that after playing it for 3 odd years and putting more than 1 year of game time in...
I think this boils down to the fact that you've got some really thick, like triple bottom of a Coke bottle thick, rose colored glasses. You expect everything will always work out just great. I wish you the best of luck.
This is only half-true, but really only because of an incorrect belief more than anything. The JVM initially interprets opcodes until that section of code is picked for JIT, after which the executed code is native code, not interpreted opcodes.
This, however, is different than how the.NET platform works, where all MSIL (on a function level) must be JIT'd prior to execution, so in.NET there is never a point where MSIL is interpreted.
I unplugged a network cable from a lab machine once back in high school, causing my friend to be threatened with expulsion for hacking. The lesson here is that school administrators are computer stupid.
Chrome/V8 is faster than Firefox/Tracemonkey. WebKit/SquirrelFish Extreme is faster than Chrome/V8. Firefox/Tracemonkey is faster than Chrome/V8. And around we go, always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom.

What makes evolution so special?

Because here in the US we are forced by government mandate to use IE on Windows; no other browser or OS is allowed.

Unless they decide to scrap everything they've written with Gazelle, I seriously doubt Trident is going anywhere:
Excerpt:
Instead of undertaking a significant effort of writing our own HTML parser, ren- derer, and JavaScript engine, we borrow these components from Internet Explorer 7 in a way that does not compromise security. Relying on IEâ(TM)s Trident renderer has a big benefit of inheriting IEâ(TM)s page rendering compatibility and performance.
I believe the commonly used expression for this situation is "Whoosh".

Technically copying DVDs hasn't been legally an option since the DMCA became law, except in cases where the DVD does not have CSS encryption.
Unless they whitelist programs that you can execute, you can just go to the Mozilla FTP server, find the nightly that corresponds to the latest release version of Firefox, and download the zip file. No installation necessary.
I would think it would be anticompetitive to not provide Firefox a way to handle ClickOnce apps. This seems to be the opposite...

Whatever helps you make it through the day
In comparison to Tapestry or Wicket, JSP is defunct, you really can't deny that.
The request-time attributes + templating taglibs seen in JSP provide a much cleaner separation between logic and HTML.
