In a shocking turn of events, Novell goes with the desktop founded by one if their key employees. I really thought that Ximian purchase was just a ploy to take the top Gnome developers out of the game so that KDE could flourish. I guess it was because they actually like Gnome. Go figure.
Please explain how that statement indicates a shocking ignorance of science. I assumed by adaptation you were refering to what creationists usually call microevolution. Many small changes over time accumulate and appear as large, dramatic changes when the element of time is removed. Take as an example the movement of nostrils from the snout to the top of the head in whales.
The site is not anti-religion, but even if it were, it is still a good resource for information on evolution. "My" talking points happen to be those of nearly all biologists in the world, thus the "copious" amount of information they have to draw from. It's not an agenda for them. There agenda is the search for truth through extremely effective mechanism of science. IDers/creationists such as yourself say there is no evidence for evolution and then when you are presented the evidence, you scoff. Surprise, surprise.
The site exists because IDers say there is no evidence, but the body of evidence is so VAST and complex that there needs to be source to point them to that has more summarized data.
It's not bigotry. We're just exasperated by your intellectual laziness. IDers say things like
"The point of intelligent design is that absolutely nothing, no evidence or experiment ever found or conducted, demonstrates that the diversity of life could have come about thorough evolution alone"
and they all appear to get this information from other IDers. There happens to be a large boatload of evidence that demonstrates exactly this. It's all out there (try talkorigins.org to get started) if you want to read about it for yourself. The only difference between adaptation and speciation is a vast amount of time.
Another comment: people are insulting you because you haven't done your homework. It's like someone saying "calculus is a crock" without having basic algebra skills. Read some Dawkins. Scour the talkorigins.org site (they put forth some of the falsifications you are looking for). Evolution is science. Intelligent design is not becase you can't falsify the statement "life was created by an intelligent designer".
How about fossilized whale skeletons with vestigal legs? How about the CLEAR record of the mutations in horses that led to hooves. The fossil evidence of gradual mutation from one species to another is everywhere.
You want the argument laid out for you? I can't do it better than these guys:

I use a Mac every day. I have no idea what you're talking about. Either your OS installation got mucked up, you have a hardware problem, or you're not truthful. Sounds like it's probably the first of the three. Have you tried the drive on another Mac? I haven't known the finder to "fall over". When I close apps, they close.
He talks about installing SAP like it's a file server or something. SAP is a monster (there probably isn't anything bigger in the software world) and doesn't run on just one box in ANY company. This sounds like a fake. Blue screen my ass.
The article about the COGS of an iPod did not include the overhead and packaging costs, nor that apple's wholesale price is substantially less than $200, so the poster before you is correct.
Your email and your bank site don't work properly? Two pretty important sites. "Everything looks horrible in firefox" is of course a ridiculous statement, but do you have any example sites where Opera does a better job? I can't find any.
This was pretty random, but:
http://inovis.com/http://espn.go.com/http://www.cbgarden.org/ (compare javascript menu speed with Firefox)
freshdirect.com (have to log in to see it, but there is a key section of images missing)
Outlook web access - login unsupported
(ooh, just saw something I like about Opera - it can rememeber the pages you had open when you last exited.)
Most of these were fairly minor rendering problems, but I just don't find any sites anymore that Gecko doesn't render well. The performance was also lacking on a beefy Mac (slow scrolling, javascript). I haven't installed it on Windows yet, so I don't have an apples to apples comparative opinion.
I just downloaded it for the first time in a few years. Every other page I visit has severe flaws. I don't get why that wouldn't be frustrating unless you only used a few sites that happened to work.
If you're on OS X, try Camino. It's basically what Safari should have been. Except for scrolling speed, I think it beats Safari in every category. I'd like to see a Web dominated by Gecko-based browsers. It's completely open and it's the best standards benchmark we have.
What he said was, "they have no taste." I think that captures it better. Their products, their marketiing, their leadership all reflect an unending parade of bad aesthetic decisions.
Your very wrong. Film is much, much sharper that DVD and has been for a long time. I have an HDTV and I can assure you that movies from the 70's shot in 35mm are as crisp in HD as any movie shot today. 35mm film has a much higher resolution than HD. DVD's are painful to watch on an HDTV after seeing movies broadcast in HD.

That article looks a bit wonky. The skull was only 1.3 meters. That would be a pin head on a 41m croc.

If being an idiot were illegal, most of my company would be in prison.

Mozilla was the rendering engine of the old Netscape, derived from Mosaic.

Neighborhood? I would have a pebble-bed reactor in my house if it were availble.
This is an obvious result of global warming. Fucking Kyoto-snubbing Bush.
I like to be friends with those capable of a Score:5 - Funny.

Marcy, come in here please. I just severed my hand with this young man's resume. Get him in here! I like his moxie!
