  2. Re:How Google trends see the situation on Red Hat Not Seeing Microsoft, Ubuntu as Threats · · Score: 1

    google is doing everything themselves, they don't pay an external party. so even if they would use a redhat product it wouldn't make much difference to redhat itself, if they were not going to pay for support anyway.

  9. Re:wow on Google Releases Picasa for Linux · · Score: 1

    try digikam, it's a pretty good alternative to picasa.
    the only thing that I really noticed to be out of place is the bar on the top with the file, edit, view, etc options. it doesn't look like a native widget. but changing the color to the same color i use everywhere would already do a lot of good by itself;)

    other then that, I must say that the application is very fast and quite snappy.

    though i prefer a true native port I'd say thumbs up for making it a high quality port ;)

    this high price might actually work out quite well for the xbox sales as well.

  17. Re:Answer is easy. on Americans Are Seriously Sick · · Score: 1

    In the netherlands we have a health insurance system where the health insurance company is forced by law to provide a certain minimum amount of insurance (basis), and on top of that can get additional insurances (optional). the basic insurance should cover you for the worst things you can get. optional insurances can differ for every insurance company and include things like dentists etc. (you are not required to buy the optional insurances) this way you are protected by law to get a certain amount of care, and you can choose by whom you want to buy your insurance. it has a few drawbacks like: only people with bad teeth take a dentist insurance thus making the dentist insurance expensive because relatively many people who buy such an insurance have bad teeth. another drawback is that insurance companies are not blind and keep close watch on the prices of the other insurance companies, and will then keep there prices along those lines. but all i am not unhappy with it and it surely is one of the lesser evils.

    there is one big reason why this can't be our missing link.
    I mean... what would it hunt on land if it was the first thing to enter land.
    and we already had other animals that can exist in both water and on land.
    but I admit that this one is more fish like then I have seen before.

  25. Re:The truth shall set you free. on Study Explains Evolution's Molecular Advance · · Score: 1

    indeed, some time ago i saw a movie that tried to "proof" the qoran as a "true" book of god. I found it quite of funny to see that they sad things along this line:

    1. well, we see the stars moving away from each other so the universe must be expanding.
    2. so if they are moving away from each other there must have been a beginning point, a "big bang" place
    3. that is where allah created the universe.

    the previous pope held a simulair belief.

    while I neither believe in Islam nor in Christianity i do believe that religion will go on for quite some time, even when there would be total proof of evolution.

    religion refused to die when the earth appeared to be round after all, and it will refuse to die after evolution is proved to be right.

    It will only change the way that religious people will interpet there "holy" scriptures. perhaps one day science will have all the answers to "capture" the religious folks, but if you really really want to believe something, there is not really much science can do for you.
