One way businesses could do it would be to host the 'real' content on the same servers as the ads. If you block the ads using a www.xyz.com/* filter, you'll block the content as well. Imagine Doubleclick serving LocalJoe.com for free, with the agreement that Joe will let them put ads in his website. Joe gets his information out there, Doubleclick gets their ads viewed, and we can't block the ads unless we also block the nifty penguin wallpaper we went to LocalJoe.com to see in the first place.
You're right, I didn't, although in my defense it could be said that you can't give someone the right to do something they already have the right to do. However, back in Chapter 2 verse 16 God tells Adam he can eat any of the trees but one (could read that as plants), but doesn't specifically mention animals. However, it's one of those things that isn't really that significant in the grand scheme of things. You could be right, or I could be right, but it doesn't change the basic message.
Oh, and don't forget, clean animals can be used as sacrifices too.
Wait a minute here. I don't know the actual numbers, but let's do a thought experiment.
Right now, in one day, say four people die and eight are born. The population is growing, by four people a day.
Now say we figure out how to keep people alive until they're 1000 years old. Assume the birth rate stays the same, eight people are still born, but only one dies (Say from an accident, or murder, or whatever). Now the population is growing by seven people a day. The population WILL increase, even though the 420-somethings aren't getting any.
...Reference, please? I haven't found that. In Genesis 9:3, right after Noah et al get off the ark, God says "Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things." Up till then all they'd eaten was plants, and some believe that applied to the animals until then too. Can't quite imagine T-rex eating watermelons, but I happen to believe the Bible, so it must have been something like that.:-)
Speaking of which, has anyone else been having problems with FF rendering Slashdot two pages wide? Every two or three refreshes all I get is the green horizontal bars, to see the text I have to scroll to the right, and then it's on the black background so all I see is the headings. A refresh usually cures it, but it's getting kind of annoying. Anyone else having this issue? (BTW, I'm running FF 1.0 on Win2K Pro)
Wait a minute, I thought I read yesterday that the Arctic ice cap was melting and going to flood Florida, Great Britain, etc. Now they're saying if we build more wind-powered generators it's going to cool DOWN the Arctic, and that's a bad thing??? Would you please make up your mind!?!
I got caught off my guard when my FWD Probe started throwing it's rear end around when I was going around a corner, but then I WAS going 60, and on a dirt road. It suprised me because I always thought it was 'impossible' to lose rear traction on a FWD, but I'm glad I learned the easy way.
We named ours No Name Kitty, or N2K for short. It was actually my little brother's idea, he's 12 and currently memorizing the periodic table just for fun. [sniff...] Just like his older brother.;-)
I can agree to that, I got caught a few days ago by a summary on the news.google front page that read "White House says George W Bush's IQ 68!". Turns out it was a satire piece, but it was definitely a WTF? moment.
Oh, I don't know. My little brother just bought an airsoft gun (Fires 6mm plastic BB's) that came with a target that has a thin layer of sticky 'gel' over it. It manages to stop the BBs that would otherwise ricochet around the room. I would think a gel would actually absorb the energy from the projectile better than a solid.
I actually kinda cheated, I work at a diesel mechanics shop, I just had one of the mechanics take his heavy duty tools to it. He used a grinder to take the pins off, then a heavy-duty drill to punch the hole. Sometimes it can be nice working at a blue-collar type of business.;-)
The key words there being "going beta." Of course it's not perfect, they're still working on it. Or is every piece of software people write supposed to be bug-free on the first compile?
I wear mine on a lanyard around my neck, but tucked inside my shirt. It's more for protection than anything, if I put it on my keychain it'd be smashed in a matter of weeks.
The first time I saw the trailer was way back last September (?) before we saw RotK for the umpteenth time. My little brother and I have been waiting for it ever since, although we were dissapointed the June release date got bumped to September. Counting the days now, I'm even going to try to take the afternoon off from work to catch the first screening.
How do creationists (particularly those trying to get evolution thrown out of schools) feel about space? Is there a Connection to the Religious Right?
Speaking as a creationist myself* I really have no problem with space exploration. I belive God created space, and gave it to mankind to study and explore. There may be some extremists who belive we don't belong there, but nobody I know has that mindset.
*However, I don't want to see evolution thrown out of schools. Rather I'd like to see creationism taught along with it, and encourage the students decide which sounds more believable.
Curiously enough, the only thing that went through the mind of
the bowl of petunias as it fell was Oh no, not again. Many people
have speculated that if we knew exactly why the bowl of petunias
had thought that we would know a lot more about the nature of the
universe than we do now.

Any rebuttals?

But if the 7 foot tall guy killed people by removing their heads, why would he have a gun???

"The fundamental problem with representative government is that the people who would be best for the job least want it, and vice versa."
It's obviously wrong, everyone knows it's really 42!

Pentium processor on mine, ground all the pins off and drilled a hole in the corner. A bit big, but I keep my keys carabinered (??) to my belt loop.
I wear mine on a lanyard around my neck, but tucked inside my shirt. It's more for protection than anything, if I put it on my keychain it'd be smashed in a matter of weeks.
Are you talking about the LCD's, or the Hot Chick (tm) weilding the soldering iron??? w00t!! ;-)
I sense a Soviet Russia joke comming...

Until they can literally read the contents of my brain, I'm not too worried.

You'll never have to worry about that if you keep your dome chromed!
