  4. Re:What did the student say? on Dental School Blogger Punishment Reduced · · Score: 1

    haha. when your argument falls short you always have the good ol ad hominem attacks. sorry, but a business has the RIGHT to refuse service to ANYONE they want. the student here was a CUSTOMER who violated the agreement he SIGNED when he became a student at the school and the school had/has every right to terminate their business relationship.

  7. Re:My mom's terrible experience with these croooks on Consumer Strikes Back at Crooked Online Retailer · · Score: 1

    it has nothing to do with the logo and everything to do with the law. law requires consumer protection when purchasing with a "credit" card and limits liability but the law does not give consumers using a debit card the same protection.

  8. Re:Um what about the chemist on Mad Scientist Invents Colored Bubbles · · Score: 1

    "If the chemist could solve the overall problem, I don't think it would have likely taken him long to workout how to preven the dye from sinking to the bottom of the bubble." considering he wasn't even working on solving that problem before the inventor hired him i'd say his time to complete such a task would be somewhere close to never.

  13. Re:You've missed the point on BBC Tells World About The Warden · · Score: 1
    I really have to wonder - does the EULA mention all the screwy stuff that this client checks?
    it doesn't need to. everything that it has been accused of checking falls within the parameters stated in the EULA.
  14. Re:nothing new on BBC Tells World About The Warden · · Score: 2, Informative

    the EULA that you had to agree to says that they reserve the right to use such methods. the user has to agree to this every time they patch.

  17. Re:How will the religious establishment react? on Distant Planet Imaging Project Gets More Funding · · Score: 1

    Powerful religious groups can often have a profound impact upon the development and progress of a nation. and powerful secular groups can not? i wonder, do you imply that religeon always has a negative impact on the progress or a nation? i think most of our founding fathers would disagree...

  20. Re:How will the religious establishment react? on Distant Planet Imaging Project Gets More Funding · · Score: 1

    And how does it jive with an Athiests belief that life was formed from nothing if we never find proof of life anywhere else? Does that call into question your "theory" that life can just happen? Because if it's true then surely there is life out there somewhere and surely you could find it.
