At least from what little I could see on the trailer they are returning the movies back to the Dark Crusader model.
The first two movies with Micheal Keaton were pretty good, but Val Kilmer and George Clooney pretty much killed off any interest I had in the movie franchise.
I think you will find that most of us attacked the patent holder rather than microsoft in the case of stupid patents.
Microsoft isn't trying to point out the failings of the USPTO, it's trying to build itself an armoury of patents it can use against any and all who try to compete.
There is one hell of a difference between playing doctor and taking pictures of pre-pubesent children engaged in mock or forced sexual acts and pasting them across the Internet.
Natural impulses are all well and good, but they need to be guided instead of just let run free. My six year old son has trouble controlling his natural impulse to pound the living snot out of another kid because the kid took a book my son liked from the library, this is not a good thing. The same with sexual impulses. You need to guide the kids towards a healthier outlet, be it through education or whatever.
Check out This Article, might be a bit informative.
Also in my experience doing windows based tech support across the range of MS products most users would probably require pretty much the same amount of training moving from say 98 to XP as 98 to Fedora (Workstation setup) or other Desktop Linux.
Just a thought, my time has value, however linux and bsd being free, the only cost is my time where as with Windows the cost has just gone up by the purchase price of the software.
I took your post in the context of the thread so thats why I picked IE v Mozilla.
In regards to other packages sure there are plenty out there that don't meet up with the hype but there are also plenty out there that do. OSS is just as prone to hype as closed source. However the ones that do meet with expectations usually exceed them as well.
A blanket statement condenming all OSS projects as immature is just as bad as saying all closed source projects are bug ridden pieces of shit.
I ask this as a serious question not as flame bait. Keep in mind that the biggest bug Mozilla has had was actually a Windows problem(shell:// exploit) and the lack of features in IE relative to most other browsers.
Is there room to do science without having any theory of the earth's (and universe's) origin?
Umm nope, any science done in ignorance (intentional or otherwise) or conditions preceding any experiments is bad science to say the least.
As to the age of lake, this is basically a very well educated guess, by taking core samples of the ice above and determining rate of ice growth or shrinkage and comparing against data from the same period, a guess can be made. If you want to check out info on carbon dating go here or for ice core dating try here.
The use of the weapon was the knockout blow that ended the first World War.
Ummm noooo, it didn't. The First World War ended when Germany surrendered and the Treaty of Versailles(sp?) was signed.
The Second World War had its end hastened by the A bomb.
Also there has been a huge amount of conjecture about the validity of the claims that the Japanese wouldn't have surrendered without the bomb. IMHO the use of the bomb was more of a warning to the USSR.
Okay the problem with Creation Science is the fact that is based on the bible, a document which is biased and written by people who even by the standards of the day had little to no understanding of science. Evolution is a theory and as with all theories, it is yet to proved conclusively, however at the present it is the theory that best fits available evidence. When a theory comes along that can better fit the evidence then great.
On to your original question, the claim that the two basins has not touched in 500,000 years is a theory and will be proved or disproved by taking samples and comparing, if the samples prove to be similar then the theory may be disproved, however if the bacteria in the samples show drastic evolutionary differences and very few similarities then the theory gathers more weight. ain't science grand.
I'm sorry but Tom Baker ruled the Who role. He really captured the true Who, s lightly nuts but deadly serious person. None of this bullshit about the essential loneliness of being an alien amongst humans.
When I read that they were going to re build the Doctor as some sort of brooding loner contemplating his own navel, I mourned the passing of yet another of my childhood icons.
For example, on making the kernel re-entrant (which refers to letting software be executed multiple times simultaneously), Russinovich cited an article he wrote which pointed out the lack of this feature in the Linux kernel. "Molnar said it was a 'clear red herring', said Russinovich, "A month later he turned around and made all paths in the Linux kernel) r-eentrant."
"I also pointed out that a pre-emptible kernel is a lot more responsive to a high priority thread," said Russinovich, moving on to his next target. "The Linux kernel 2.6 was made fully pre-emptible."
I think this guy is trying to say that it was his articles that made the kernel jockeys change the way they do things. Thats a pretty big call to make.
However Canada was involved in Afghanistan where they were bombed by the US, and has been involved in other peace keeping operations. Check out this link, I think it sums up Canadas involvement with international peace keeping.

Had no trouble with Mozilla 1.5 and the mplayer plugin.

You don have the AFL Cup either. Lions all the way!!!
You would think that our highly evolved minds would be able to make living organisms by now.
I personally have, with the able assistance of my wife, created two living complex organisms who have attained independant thought.

In what way is Mozilla not better than IE?

I eagerly await Slashdot's coverage of papal philosophical leanings and silvan ursine defecatory habits.
Niiiice.
I had an Open Source wife once, would download for anyone.

If you're actually scared of that, you should probably live in fear of terrorists raiding your fridge.
Ahh in Australia our government is prepared for that, we got special Fridge Magnets

Because for Windows development TrollTech demand a hefty licensing fee. Linux dev is GPL but Windows dev is closed.
Seeing as the previous respondant got modded down for some reason i shall pose the same question? Since when is Afghanistan Arab?
Afghanistan is closer to Pakistan in tribal links , culture and ancestory(sp?).
Why not, it worked during the Dot Bomb.
And so the falme begins!!!

I hate to tell you this but the majority of internet users do not have 24/7 connectivity. Most are still on dial up.
Until prices come down and rural areas are better served broadband is not going to be even remotely universal.
Perhaps because the GNOME group would like to promote its own media framework? The page in the link says the Server is a GStreamer based server.

Umm Canada was involved in both World Wars way before the US showed any interest. Check your facts before spouting off.
