"Some people really don't like the city putting a monstrous cross high on a hill top but then some Christians decide that only they get to decide what people should like and dislike and force the cross on everyone else even though these Christians don't even have a clear reason for putting there in the first place.
So who's being petty here?"
Mmmm, you are? It's been there for like 50 years as a memorial to the WWII war dead (N.B. cross is a pretty standard grave marker). I mean seriously, even freaking communist countries like Viet Nam allow religious icons on public land... and Christians are well in the minority there. If Japanese-Americans wanted to put up a Shinto memorial to the 442nd war dead in a park somewhere, I'd have no problem with it, nor should you.
...which is exactly why I have no problem with it, and truly don't understand people's problem with it. A cross is now a very generic geometric religous icon, moreso than say, a giant buddha.
I think this whole concept of a "state church" is what the founding fathers were against, and the motivation for separation of church and state, not petty crap like what is going on in
San Diego.
I mean seriously, I think all the folks who rant against the US being a theocracy and hot-bed of fundementalism, etc, etc. need to travel around a little bit more, I think they'd be in for some surprises... even in Europe!

You did not make a choice, or follow any direction, but now, somehow, your are descending from the Internet - approaching a great, glistening website. It is Slashdot - the website of paradise.
"Welcome!" says the man. "My name is Cmdr Taco. You have reached the forum of joy and beauty. All our treasures are yours to share with us. All of us here are your friends forever."
I don't think the idea is bad, but your boss/company seems to equate the "magic" of schools of fish to their small size, whereas it's their capability to self-organize using simple rules. Ala the game of life, cellular automata, etc.
..move everything overseas and quit having me subsidize your business via the security the United States provides (via it's legal system, police, military, etc infrastructure). I'm getting tired of paying taxes to subsidize businesses that won't provide I or my countrymen jobs. There's a reason it costs less to outsource, and it's not because we're all a bunch of lazy gluttons in the U.S. Good riddance.
As for outsourcing...if I have a stable operations environment, solid architecture, dependable project management, reliable Q/A, and a clear product lifecycle infront of me, why WOULDN'T I outsource development if the quality was the same, I retain the source code, and I can get it for pennies on the dollar?
Because it's destructive to employee moral, and does not contribute to your local society be paying income to local employees. You are piping money out of whatever country you are in, and milking the benefits of your safe, stable society and government and not contributing back to it. Why should you care? Because the country you are in enabled you or whoever to create your company. The local taxes indirectly subsidize your business via military and police portection, infrastructure, etc. India, etc. did not.
Don't even try the "ah but I can spend more here because of the cost savings" stuff. X dollars in 5 hands contributes more to society than X dollars in 1 hand.
To do my part in saving the Earth, I will replace my current vehicle with an electric or hybrid car, because they grow naturally from sunflower fields. I know they grow in sunflower fields because if they didn't, the energy saved by the increase in MPG wouldn't be enough to compensate for the energy used to create these heavy industrial products. If so, I would feel bad, and I don't want to feel bad, and I want to feel good when I buy things.
I wonder if our generation will be the last to enjoy physical privacy. With all the tiny nanotech, internet, webcams, etc coming - will our kids be numb to the fact that some pervert is probably spying on them from a ant-bot, etc.? Even in the shower, hiking, etc? Frankly, this bothers me as much as the thought of government spying.
I'm still awaiting an Windows port of Richard M. Stallman. Then we'll have a truly fanatic ex-Linux pundit. Til then, I'll stick with my trusty gefilte fish.

No, that's not a scientific opinion. But it is my opinion.

I'm looking at the office wall over my monitor, where I have the Air Force patches I used to wear 13 years ago. They say:
"Space Warfare Center"
and
"Air Force Space Command"
Folks, space warfare and planning has been with us a long time, this isn't something new that Bush is pulling out og his *ss.
"Where land costs more, you'll find that all the houses are better quality,"
That is flat out not true. California homes are terrible quality, homes in Texas are built much better.
But high-school science funding is a huge problem. Well funded private and public schools
Hey - private schools cost less than public schools per child. I do not suggest we throw more money at bureaucracy and illegal aliens...

*yawn* sorry, tried my best, still too sleepy..
Funny stuff :-D
Good point from a amazon review:
"In the case of the eye, he concentrates on the evolution of its shape and does a solid job at that. However, it seems like the evolution of photocells with light-detecting pigments and the development of the proper neural pathways to interpret signals from the eye would be considerably more substantial achievements than the eye simply attaining the shape it has today, and Dawkins leaves these issues out. Also, Dawkins never really gets around to addressing the issue of how complicated protein molecules like hemoglobin could have come into being through only random mutations and non-random natural selection, an question which, as Dawkins himself mentions, a number of people have some problems with."
I'm no economist, but I'd guess that firms/investors are pulling their money out of the shaky real estate market, and back into stocks and tech.
Revolutionary new features include:
* Removal of the mouse pointer in favor of the "spatial mouse", where the user determines
what they are pointing at by the location of the mouse itself on the user's desk.
A moving arrow on the screen was too distracting for the average user.
* The rollout of the new "one monitor, one application" paradigm, wherein the user can
only run as many apps as they have monitors. This avoids confusing the average user,
who needs each application to show up in its own unique monitor location in the user's office.
I kid, take it easy.
Just in time for the real estate market to collapse, taking most of the economy with it...
