And who'd have thought that you could find disease cures or amazingly advanced painkillers in rainforest plants?
Oh, just about every botanist and chemist for the past three hundred years or so. You see, many of our medicines have come from plants for many centuries, now, so it's only reasonable to assume that a jungle, full of exotic plants would be full of exotic chemicals that we could make medicines from.
Though I am an athiest, I don't see how an understanding and acknowledgement of evolution in any way conflicts with the idea that there is some supreme being.
To paraphrase Carl Sagan: If God isn't needed, why have him in the first place?
The reason science doesn't concern itself with anything supernatural is because it is impossible, by definition, to observe scientifically what the supernatural is or is not doing.
Perhaps not directly observe, but if the supernatural act has a natural effect, that can be observed. Many things are inferred in science through observation of the effects the unseen has on the observable. We don't observe bosons directly. Often our observations may be several layers removed from the actual event.
Except, of course, finding a chicken fossil would be "proof" that the rocks really weren't pre-cambrian. It's a very nice little shell game of circular logic.
Why do you care about the file name? You're doing all your organizing through the iTunes database. Your complaint is like someone who complains because Windows won't let him control his registry key names.
The Crusades: Organized by Western Christians in response to centuries of Muslim wars of expansion.
The Crusades were usually military campaigns intended to halt or slow the advance of Muslim power.
2003 edition Encylcopedia Britannica, Volume 16, p. 822.
The first crusade was a response to the desecration of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre (I mistakenly identified it as Hagia Sophia.).
It was also a response to calls for help from the Byzantium empire in response to Muslim agression and expansion in the region.
The first crusade was in 1095. The Schism between Eastern and Western Christianity occurred in 1054, and relations between the two were improving.
Many people took advantage of the call for a crusade to liberate the Christian holy sites from Muslim aggression and oppression to engage in pogroms of their own. The People's Crusade being one of the most notorious. The People's crusade was condemned by bishops and the church, and many Jews were given asylum in churches and by the bishops from the army of the People's Crusade.
As the crusades continued, they became more corrupt, thus leading to the desecration of the Hagia Sophia (some 200 years after the first crusade).
The Crusades have become the favorite whip used to lash at Christians, just like the colonization of North America has been used to assault white Europeans.
The Crusades were not the pure example of universal evil that automatically results from Christianity that Christian-haters would have you believe, just as Muslims were not the pious and saintly people living peacably at one with all mankind until assaulted by the evil Christians that these same people would have you believe.
The truth is, Islam was a militarist, expansionist religion, and the crusades were a military response to that. And just like some political and religious leaders today hijack the extreme elements of Islam in order to kill as many Jews and infidels as possible, some political and religious leaders in the 11th-14th centuries hijacked the extreme elements of Christianity in order to kill as many Jews and infidels as possible.
The first Crusades were actually a Christian response to the sack and desecration of the Hagia Sophia by Muslims and the slaughter of Coptic Christians in the areas around Jerusalem.
Yep. GWB sent his goons down to NASA and told the administrators: Now, we don't care that we write you a check each year. You really can't spend it on whatever you want. You have to cut the Voyager program.
The timing is not coincidental with Apple's Tiger release,
That's what they said when they previewed Longhorn with Panther's release. I suspect they'll say the same thing when they preview Longhorn with Lynx's release.
Re-read clause i first. That's the clause this falls under. The RIAA gets subpoenas from courts to request this information. That would mean law enforcement.
Because, as much as you may not like it, uploading a thousand songs to a p2p server is breaking the law.

But he sings the Slashdot anthem (Christians and Republicans are evil tyrants, long live Hillary).
That would be quit a trick, increasing the nitrogen in your bloodstream while breathing pure Oxygen.
Because it's not about the enivornment, it's about money and power. It always has been.

Maybe grow up and quit demanding that the rest of the freaking world bend over backwards to acommodate them?
Party shuffle.
Play higher rated songs more frequently.
In Open Office, you can anchor a graphic to a page. You can't do that in Office, and there are times when that is a real pain.
However, as usability goes, Open Office stinks. Of course, I use Office 2004 on OS X, and compared to it, Office for Windows usability stinks.
Two words: Formatting Palette. Pure genius. The Mac Business unit done good on that one.
To paraphrase Carl Sagan: If God isn't needed, why have him in the first place?
That's why.
Which result, of course, fits nicely with the predictions of the Theory of the Fall of Man.

Give it time.
The "depends on what the meaning of 'is' is" argument doesn't work anymore.
Censorship will never end. In China they censor calls for freedom.
In America, Canada and Europe, they censor calls for morality.
If you were my husband, I'd feed you poison!
If I were your husband, I'd eat it.
Apparently not since I missed that part. Thank you for being so polite in pointing it out.
It won't allow me to control how it names files.

Hardly fiction.

Why when I can get such a nice, considerate and polite answer from upstanding people like you?
Wrong religion. You want Jihad.

The lens is more than 4 billion light years away?
GWB's henchman are cutting these little ones.
Yep. GWB sent his goons down to NASA and told the administrators: Now, we don't care that we write you a check each year. You really can't spend it on whatever you want. You have to cut the Voyager program.
Sheesh.
Do this for kicks.
With voice recognition on, say
Knock, knock.
