Land ownership is not trivial at all: it used to be the requirement for voting rights at the foundation of this country. (I personally don't own land and actually think that's not a bad idea. But, I wouldn't push for it since because... "just about any answer would be valid")
(I also think Rio's homeless children is a pretty big problem and in no way trivial.)
Laughable: I laugh now and I will laugh at you on that day.
"If the theory of gravity were so scientific, there would be no concern of how this would be interpreted by people which believed they could flap their arms and fly."
Quite a sickly red herring you have there, by the way.
If the religion of evolution were so scientific then there would no concern of how this would be interpreted by any group contray to the dogmas of evolution, be they creationist or otherwise.
Then keep your opinion to yourself lest you convert someone to your passive ways!
This guy is not going at this from: Microsoft==bad verses !Microsoft==good.
Instead he actually helping others by showing them alternatives. And that's a good thing even if the client is Microsoft's best buddy: they at least get a challenge to think about what they already have made decisions on (for better or worse).
Also, not everone out there is a willing prisoner of Microsoft's monopoly: some, if not many, wish to have a way out of using software that has historically had the worst track record of security (if that's of concern to them) or they just don't like the way their current software does things (be it Microsoft's or not) and would be glad to know something else exists out there.
So, do you still wish to stick your head back into the sand and pretend all is hunky-dory? You're in a tech-forum; shouldn't you be passionate enough about something software related to warrent talking up its benefits, even if it means converting people?
P.S. 25% success rate at installing Ubuntu: congrates! That rocks!
Your "shameless self promotion" in nowise scares me because the experience I have had with multiple, that is to say, literally thousands of installations of MySQL does not change because of your experience.
I suppose that's a fine statement until work in a webhosting environment long enough for you to have to rebuild the tables for a website whether the server was powered down, purposefully or otherwise, or MySQL corrupted itself for no apparent reason.
In the end: hopefully the client had proper backups.
Great, so they CLAIM that ice is a DEFINITE, undeniable measure of the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere at any one time AND they KNOW that the ice cores they've pulled are DEFINITELY 800,000 years old...
Why do we have to assume these requirements to be true? Because someone claims it's true? Because it's easy? Why bother me with this kind of information without establishing the validity of that which is presumed, whether it can be shown to be true that polar ice is an accurate measure of global CO2 and that CONSISTENTLY for 800,000 years. Either let these scientist show the validity of THESE claims or let them go and start a cult of worshipers who take their claims on faith, or WORSE, presumption.
Besides, with the increase in volcanic activity, these High Priests of Humans-are-Extremely-Powerful-in-the-Earth don't seem to bother with taking volcanic output into consideration, like the The Year Without a Summer and the atmospheric effects of Krakatoa.
Yes, it seems Ubuntu's competition, if merely only a perception, has given Debian a shoot in the arm. It wasn't but a week ago that I wondering what character from Toy Story was next to be used in Debian's developement cycle.
Perhaps Debian's position is, has been, and will always be that of a producer of 'raw' material which can be used by othersto theirown refinement.
I didn't want to see it after I saw the trailer for it.
After seeing it my impression was: "How long could a movie go on about getting away from snakes on a plane?" Where are you going to go?! How many 'rooms' could a jet possible have?
Maybe the movie is 'better' than that..... I may never know... until one of my co-workers lets me know.
Did you hear that Jim Carrey had trouble stepping away from his roll as Andy Kaufman in Man on the Moon?
Which makes sense seeing as he wouldn't come out of his character as Kaufman while meeting with the widow of Dr. Seuss (while she was considering allowing 'How the Grinch Stole Christmas' to be made into a movie).
While Carrey was only doing a movie, which he emersed himself in, so were all of your other examples.
Colbert does his impression every weekday. It'll catch up with him more and more.
First, Evolution is faith and not science. If it were science it would be able to be demonstrably shown to be true or false via a test.
Ironically, the fossil record, which was suppose to support Evolution, does nothing but give Evolution evidence that it is not the truth.
When Darwin wrote The Origin of Species he supposed that the fossil evidence to come would show the varied, gradual transition between species. There is nothing in the almost 150 years since that book's first addition to indicate, by the fossil record, that one species evolved from another species. Nor was there anything before it.

Wow, that's about as valid as me saying:
Any examples besides from kookie conspiracy theorists and Louisiana?
Doesn't seem to add up with the percentage of their population under 15 years of age (30% according to that website).
Even if it's only somewhat off:
THAT'S A HUGE VOTER TURNOUT!
HOW DO THEY DO IT?
Laughable: I laugh now and I will laugh at you on that day.
Quite a sickly red herring you have there, by the way.Yeah, even if the bone is only a few thousands years old.
It's just so mind-boggling.
Why is that a concern?

T-Rex-Bone steak anyone?
That's just great!
Next: experts predict global warming!

Where's the mount to put it on my boat?
I'm hard pressed to just get passed "What is HDMI?"
Correct.
Freedom of speach is guaranteed but freedom to be heard/listened to is not.
There's a lesson in this.
Hey Dixie Chicks, and the rest of your mistreated ilk, do you now know what censorship is?
Good, it works.
Spot on.
Enough said.

Truth and a lie.
I should have said brown recluse as these photos tell why.
Have you ever even seen an outhouse?
Speaking of outhouses: I have two words for you black widows.
I didn't want to see it after I saw the trailer for it.

For evolution all that can be said is:
