I've got mod points, but I'm not going to mod this up as the poster didn't cite any sources. I don't believe anything I read on internet message boards unless reliable sources are cited (with a few exceptions such as personal matters and things that are ordinary enough not to require verification.)
Of course. They're dedicated to stamping out all three. The "piracy" bit is still giving them some trouble, but they're making great strides in the other two.
I think the problem there is Gnome, not which version of Linux/*BSD you're running. Gnome is a full-featured, resource-intensive DE that was never meant to run well on older machines. Try replacing it with something more lightweight like XFce.
By definition, this is true. Religion is based on faith, on believing something without evidence, or even despite evidence. It's simly another name for closed-mindedness.
OS/2 wasn't immune to the BSOD. The only difference was that in its version the "B" stood for "black". It still crashed reasoably often, although not nearly as often as Windows did at the time. Not sure how it compares to current versions of Windows, as it's been a while since I've used OS/2.
As a good example, in the original series (which, you may remember, takes place in the future compared to the version we're discussing), there's this scene where this old guy, whose name temporarily escapes me, comes across two robots and doesn't recognize them. Yet, in the current series, he's in it too he actually deals with the same robots throughout the show proving he must have recognized them in the original. There's a lot of problems like that that have to be resolved. And while a lot of the movies tie in, I'm still trying to work out how, if they were able to destroy the robot that was trying to kill Kirk's mother and prevent the future machine world in the second of the two films, how the machines still could have taken over the world in the future so they could come back for the third movie.
It's because the robots were actually aliens from the planet Zeist.
But then the movies wouldn't be destroyed! Would you condemn humanity to live in a world where the movie Armageddon still exists? Being hit by an asteroid would be a small price to pay to finally be rid of that film forever.
If we're lucky they'll take all existing copies of that movie and place them in a big pile at ground zero, so that at least some good will come of this.
Well, if you're willing to stretch things far enough, you can attribute whatever "hidden meaning" you want to pretty much anything. And it takes a lot of stretching to make Genesis consitant with what we now know about the Universe's origins.
If you take the time period 'day' in Creation as symbolical (eg replace it by 'a long period of time') you get all in all a pretty accurate recount of the current 'scientific' belief of how earth and finally we came to pass...
No you don't. The order's all wrong. Genesis says that the Earth was around before the Sun (and that daylight, as well as the seperation of day and night, also existed in the absense of a sun.) I believe that it also states that birds appeared before land animals, but I don't have a copy on hand to check.

No, April 14. It's irrational, after all.
Are you running an OpenGL screensaver? It could be a heat problem with your video card.
Especially when being standards-incompliant adds to your bottom line by increasing lock-in and discouraging users from seeking alternatives.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

That it, if they're still around. Haven't followed racing in quite some time.

Isn't the "check to see if it's already posted" bit kind of unnecessary?
So the Earth will be destroyed five minutes before the box-office figures come in, then?
They did at the beginning of Enterprise, when they showed the guy from First Contact making the "where no man has gone before" speech.
