This is what I don't get... no matter what you believe about how humans got here and became this intelligent is that we started somehow. IMHO it is much easier to believe that an intelligent creator could create something as complex as humans. That's how we can explain something coming from nothing, because God has no beginning and no end.
It is easier to believe in an all-powerful creator instead of the mathmatical improbabilities of evolution:
(From http://www.carm.org/evolution/evodds.htm):
"The odds of a single cell possessing non-harmful mutations of five specific (functionally related) genes is the product of their separate probabilities. (Morris, 63). In other words, the probability is 1 in 10^8 X 10^8 X 10^8 X 10^8 X 10^8, or 1 in 10^40. If one hundred trillion (10^14) bacteria were produced every second for five billion years (10^17 seconds), the resulting population (10^31) would be only 1/1,000,000,000 of what was needed!"
So why would ID not be treated as valid science, when it is easier to understand and vastly more probable?
no i think people wouldn't be too excited to base it on the PS1. if you say that it is based on the PS2 of course people think of excellent graphics. to base the PSP on the PS1 would be hype suicide.
The learning curve, however, was steeper than she had anticipated. Feeling totally overwhelmed by the scope and complexity of her new position as AOL and Time Warner merged, she says she tried to quit every day for the first six weeks.
It's a chicken & egg situation... that dynamic will change as more people adopt Linux, but if I was a CIO I wouldn't bet my company on it.
I would definitely bet my company on it! Think about it, Linux is going to take over and there's nothing Microsoft can do about without creating its own Linux distro!! And when is that going to happen? So buy stock in the Linux company of your choice cause we're goin to the top! The benefits are too numerous to explain here but I'm sure you've heard them all before!
I think it's especially interesting to note the high cost of migration. I wonder how the cost of open-source can be so much higher than overpriced windows. I agree that they will save money over the long run, though.
I would also have to think that the city could form a partnership with SuSe. It would be beneficial for the both of them. Maybe they could put up SuSe billboards throughout the city in exchange for discounted software. If Linux companies can form those kind of alliances, windows will be eradicated quickly. Obviously Microsoft can be brought to its knees quickly, as seen from the article!
They also really need to do more studies like the one mentioned in the article. Since Linux can consistently undersell Microsoft, all they need to do is concentrate on studies. Once they improve ease-of-use and ease-of-learning issues and prove that is in fact is easy to use in the studies, Linux will be the OS of choice for the general public.
It would be best, as they are doing with Star Wars, to show the bad guy's progression from gray to evil. That would be very compelling and help you to feel as though you actually were a part of the story.

Hey, mother, I come bearing a gift. I'll give you a hint. It's in my diaper and it's not a toaster.

Yes, I think I'd quit, too!
let me know if this is successful and then we can go take on microsoft!
