Well, since evolutionary theory is less than 200 years old vs creation theory which is at least 4000 years old... I propose that we give it more time... If evolution is right then it will prevail regardless of resistance and if it is wrong it will fail under its own weight.
it took quite some time for a complete understanding of gravity and the size/shape of the earth to be solidified... so let's give origin science the same chances...
and of course, both theories adequately and accurately explain biology as we know and understand it today... and since we can't know with certainty that the earth/universe is more than ~10K years old... let's wait on more evidence...
Actually "Intelligent Design" is another in the series of attempts by creationists and atheistic anti-evolutionists, to attempt to return science to schools...
the mantra from the evolutionists that "you propose a god and therefore cannot be scientific" has been answered...
and now for my favorite quote(greatly paraphrased) "In the beginning, nothing exploded and became something... and over billions of years the nothing congealed... into suns and planets... and it rained on the rocks and made soup...and the soup came alive and here we are..."
a bad idea. One of the reasons I know many people use google is purely because it's unfiltered and unrestricted. Millions use Google every day, changing anything major now could spell catastrophy.
Spell catastrophe, is clearly something you cannot do...But I bet google, and the drug companies can.
Coke is nasty, It tastes like sticking my tongue across a 9V battery... OTOH, I prefer the taste of Mountain Dew(AKA the distilled essence of mountain goat piss) of course that has to do with the bang... vs bite... preference...
You know, Alton has a viable sponsorship program... " Kroger, Ace hardware, etc" and it isn't obtrusive, but I remember, and think hey that neat gadget he used... oh yeah, he got it there... I should stop by and get it too..
They are somewhat archaic, but the purpose is "coming events" If you don't have a TV guide, then you may not know what is coming on next... OR, without the previews, you might assume(if you haven't heard of it before) that the sopranos is a show about music and write it off as boring.
15 minutes of commercials is not annoying unless it interupts the program flow...
I watched angel last night on TV for the first time in almost 3 years... vs watching a commercial stripped version... I have no idea what the show was about because of the Commercials...
OTOH playing 10 minutes of coming attractions before the sopranos comes on is something that can easily be ignored...
I believe the reference was to the difference between paying $20+ monthly for internet vs "Free" Television Programming in the US. Obviously "Pay" Tv has commercials, but "Premium Pay"(HBO, Cinemax, SHo, etc) doesn't. If HBO started having commercial advertising on top of the $5-10 a month it costs to bring into your house... there would be rather alot of grousing.
I don't get "spam" since getting access to a configurable email server... cotse.com is my provider...and I can black/whitelist create and elimintate e-mail addressess...
The battle on spam must be fought on all available fronts, and providing penalties which can be levied against the company that hired the spammers is an important front. Granted, at this point there is no provision for a regulatory/investigative body to investigate and punish it... but one step at a time...
Eudora has an Adware version... But I sincerely doubt that it is spyware since it allows me to accept the default ads, or to enter demographic info to get more focused ads..
Adware, IHMO means that there is a minimal amount of observation going on... web log tracking... and perhaps ad clickthrough tracking... Adware doesn't know who I am, where I am, or what kind of computer I have... Gator knows these things, making it spyware.
Actually it isn't, It leaves the supply grounded and thus the case grounded, so the case, powersupply, and you(by either touching the case or wearing a strap can share a ground... and not have that nasty discharge problem.
See the COngressional ruling IRT Betamax and time/media shifting... It it "legal" for me to record TV shows on my computer, it is not "legal" for me to download the same show from the interweb while watching it on TV.
IT was supposed to be a joke... The article quoted microsoft as claiming that Itunes could only use music files from the apple music store... I guess that's what I get for reading the FA.
MY ATX power supply has a hard off. IME Most ATX power supply have one of these... It will be on the back.. and will be a very small rocker switch... Try using it...

All laws have unintended consequences... the solution is educated judges...
Proper use of technical experts... etc.
Perhaps having a requirement for a full-time technical expert on staff at a certain level government/judiciary...

Are you certain of that?? payola still happens

And remember Vegetables are people too....
SO by the time I will be able to pay for a license the rate will go up...
Guess I should use windows... That way I'll just be using pirated software and not illegal software...

But Ripped AAC don't contain DRM, only downloaded AAC from the Apple music store..., and Itunes can Rip MP3 as well...
IT was supposed to be a joke... The article quoted microsoft as claiming that Itunes could only use music files from the apple music store... I guess that's what I get for reading the FA.
I didn't know that Itunes couldn't import my mp3's and make playlists, guess it's back to Realjukebox...

That was a fast first post, but if you had taken the concorde, it would have been faster.
Whelp, now that the concorde is gone, the only quick way to Europe is to wait till we have Ballistic travel options...
Next stop IPv6 and having a number for everything...
