  1. Re:cost/benefit ratios on Bad Science in the Press · · Score: 1
    Evolution is fact. It is visiable today. Look at how anti-biotics are starting to not work so well anymore. That is because they evolved from having a few small numbers that would survive the onslaught of anti-biotics then reproduce and then their offspring again are subjected to the same environmental factors.

    The THEORY of evolution describes our past and the history of life on the planet. To deny that evolution exists is the equivelent to denying that the world is round. It is impossible to deny that there is evolution.

  2. Fox does it again on IGN Purchased By News Corp. · · Score: 5, Funny

    Just when you thought IGN couldn't get any shittier, fox goes and buys it. Does anyone take their game reviews seriously? Every time I read them the reviews seem like they are purchased from the companies that make the game.

  6. would FF do the reverse? on Plugin Lets Users Turn IE into Firefox · · Score: 1

    and make a FF browser that looks like IE and uses their non-standard way of reading websites. I have to use IE for work related sites, but i use FF for everything else, it would be nice to have all of MS's hacks and non-standard code work in firefox. For those of us forced to use it.

  7. They forgot Master of Orion 3 on The Heartbreak of Canceled Games · · Score: 3, Funny

    I refuse to accept that steaming pile they released as an actual game. Biggest. Dissapointment. Ever.

  8. Re:I wouldn't worry so much... on The Greying of the Mainframe Elite · · Score: 1
    How exactly are universities supposed to train people in programming if they can't use programming languages?

    Or do you expect everyone to be taught C or C++ then just adapt what they've learned into the new languages.

    If i was a student I wouldn't mind learning C or C++ (I actually did but have long since forgotten most of it) but if I wanted to learn a language that has a lot of job openings for it. Lets face it, most companies are looking for people who can program in the specific languages that they are using and not someone who knows how to code in a language that is similar.

    Yes, college should be about critical thinking and learning to think and learn for yourself, but you're not going to find many students interested in taking computer course work where they won't be able to get a job using said course work.

    I'm not trying to say C or C++ programmers don't get work. I'm sure tons do, but the newer languages have some appeal for different companies aswell.

  9. Wow on PSP Usage Lower Than Expected · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Who would've thought that people wouldn't pay more to watch a movie on a 4.3 inch display rather than just buying the DVD and watching it wherever they please.

    laserbeams from outer space could fry anyone anywhere

    It could be worse, sharks could be able to survive in the vacuum of space aswell. Then we'd be really boned.

  16. I just RTFA on Kansas Challenges Definition of Science · · Score: 1
    It looks like they want to allow people to challenge darwin, which is fine in my book as long as they do it from a scientific perspective.

    If they talk about lame ducks like Intelligent Design or Creationism and say something to teh effect of, these might be correct but they aren't science because they aren't falsifiable then I don't see a problem. THey could also say how it would be impossible to prove that the universe was created 5 minutes ago and everyone was given memories and the universe was created with age.

    That is as equally possible and proveable as ID and should be taught also.

  17. Re:Intelligent design is the most logical scenario on Kansas Challenges Definition of Science · · Score: 1
    Even if Intelligent design is right it has no place in the science classroom because it isn't science.

    Just because evolution can't explain some things yet doesn't mean it won't be able to eventually. Creating some pseudoscience because it fits with your religious beliefs then forcing that to be taught in science class is obsurd.

    Intelligent Design theories are not science and have no place in the science classroom

    Maybe microsoft should develop a PC that can't crash, then work its way up to cars.

  21. I'm gonna make a movie called the brady bunch on Doom Movie Pushed Back to October · · Score: 4, Funny
