In the article they mention that this Ring of Fire might "herald an African renaissance". OK, that was a supreme load of crap.
Lets see... a friend of mine went to an airport in Africa. It is a war torn shell ridden airport with craters on the airstrip from a civil war. I think this Ring of Fire is great and all technologically, but when these people are having a civil war, speak with clicks, and where alot are in dire poverty with Sally Struthers trying to rescue them then I don't think that the Internet is exactly on their mind. So I sure as hell don't think it will "herald an African renaissance". These experts who think the Internet will herald a renaissance must be the same buffoons who think the Internet will be the great equalizer across socio-economic classes in the US for education. OK.. right....
Great points. Especially about entropy. Forgot about that closed system thing. I have to agree that we did evolve. From what point I do not know. We can see that people have evolved and to believe we are not evolving is pure ignorance. (And of coure all of this is waaaay off topic -- Brain Capacity)
However, I do have to disagree with the "creationism is tripe" statement. Even if you believe in evolution completely you have to believe that at the root there is nothing to evolve from and that is definitely where God created something. Which makes atheists quite narrow minded in my opinion. (Not calling you one though.. just saying)
Pass the putty please...

OK the cases are cool, but they sure as hell aren't functional. I'll stick with the putty cases until they are. But I don't exactly think your typical slashdotter is in their marketing segment...
