First off, ID isn't a collection of holes in evolution. That's all you hear from IDers/Creationists because thats really all they have to say. "Evolution is broken because of ___ so God/Guiding Power did it all!" That's not science.
Secondly, I went to a catholic elementary school. They taught evolution. They didn't teach ID/Creationism. They did teach about the holes in evolution.
I went to public college. They teach evolution. They do teach about holes in evolution. Everybody that teaches evolution also teaches about the holes in the theory.
You can't say that because they won't let teachers teach their religious beliefs in school that they're preventing debate on evolution.
The debate was never missing! It's be there since evolution came about!
Scientific debate is good. Religous vs Scientific debate is bullshit. Hey let's teach that 1 + 1 != 2! What? What's wrong with some scientific debate?!?
market share is based on statistics gathered from the logs of some major websites, not by downloads.
and as many users have already pointed out, many people that have firefox don't count towards that download number because they use apt-get, and others download with the update program.
It was only a good idea back in the day because it wasn't economical to be able to provide every desktop with the processing power that each user required.
It makes alot more sense in the corporate environment though when you get into multiple permission levels and access issues. A centralized server with terminals allows centralized control over access to various resources.
This will not be the way people arrange their home networks in the future. File servers will probably become more common as a central storage location for music, movies and potentially some programs, but nobody will be dependant upon the server for anything more than that.
People want their own machine do to their own things on.
It's probably even cheaper to buy multiple desktops than it would be for a central server and thin clients.
Then I guess I'm a friend of Bill too! I've been using windows for years since 3.11 Windows for Workgroups without any issues. I run XP now, I skipped over ME and ran 2k instead cause ME sucks. My computer hasn't crashed in recent memory, there's no spyware on it, and I haven't had a virus in over 5 years.
I try linux every couple years, but I can never muster the effort to fully switch over due to something reason or another each time. Either lack of supporting my hardware, or lack of software or configuration difficulties.
Some day I'm sure it'll be good enough and I will switch over, but until then I better give Bill a call... I've got some loans he could help me pay off.
Wired, of course, picked the worst examples of nerdcore music, and didn't bother checking any "facts" in their article. MC Frontalot found it amusing on the lines the chose to quote and the context they used it in.
cracker-guy and that ++ kid are hardly representative of the nerdcore genre.
If you're seriously interested use MC Frontalot, mc chris and MC Hawking as your base and expand from there. They're the better established of the nerdcore.

Aye!
It's the same "proof" that the developer in the article has that his mac doesn't have a chip.
Basically we got words going both ways.
How many Library-of-Congress' of weight we are talking about here, cause we might be able to fit it on a couple Blue-Ray DVD's
I wasn't aware that Verizon owned Bluetooth.
It was a joke on a popular commercial.
If a Verizon employee was seriously offended by that then they have issues deeper than bad modding.
Probably the nearest rap station.
When did you become so enthralled by masochism that you decided to subject yourself to the /. crowd?
They're about as dangerous as all the AM/FM signals beaming through your head at the moment...
http://www.ercim.org/publication/Ercim_News/enw31/ bergamasco.htmlThis could be on the right path.
Kinda funny that you mention that. I did just that. I decided to grow in my beard after just starting my new IT job.
I look like i'm 18 with a clean shaved face. Add a little hair and I look more my age (25), maybe even a few years extra.
There definately was a visible difference in the way my superiors treated me.
I know this is /. but even here it's a good idea to have some remote knowledge about what the hell you're talking about.
He did report it to Cisco's internal system... over 4 months ago.
If the virus may have lurked even longer then why did you only resort to a backup from two weeks and one day ago?
A simple compile on your source would tell you whether or not the virus modified it. I've never seen a virus hunt out source code and then modify it.
Tell your developers to stop looking up pr0n.

The poster didn't say that aliens didn't exist. They noted that aliens giving technology to us is ridiculous.
Saying that aliens didn't travel vast distances of space to give to one person on this planet a new power technology in secret is indeed ridiculous.
You forgot the Greeks
Phew, that would be crazy to say that that all happened by coincidence. Luckily, there was an initial "catalyst", and things began rolling from there.
Chemistry and physics crafted the development of everything else.
I don't want great schools... I wanna.... Play Sports!
I don't know about that, but Chevy is the 3rd largest car seller in China.
fork() was originally implemented but it would randomly kill -9 the parent process.

Yeah, somebody already hit that before I posted.
I did forget to add some general nerds-can't-get-women statement.
"Mandriva Linux suxorz! The best distro is _____ biznatches!!"
"Yeah well all linux suxorz! Windows is teh roxorz!"
"Hey guys wait! MacOSX is linux and it's the best thing god ever handed down to humans!"
"No n00b, MacOSX is BSD."
"Yeah well all BSD's suxorz! Windows is teh roxorz!"
to the music of Beastie Boys' Paul Revere?
The tires don't fall off... the vehicles fall over.
