As a catholic, I think the Vatican's statement has exposed the fundamentalists' fanatism regarding the Holy Scriptures: The ID proponents are not only going against science, they're also going against the Church that represented christianity for more than 15 centuries - that ought to say something.
Yeah, but I thought the whole point behind all these "other" Christian faiths was that they didn't believe in the authority of the Pope or the Vatican. So what difference does it make to them?
I'm not sure I get the parent's point. For every one dollar of sales made by one of these corporate money machines, Dell would retain 6.5 cents, while Apple would retain 9.6 cents. I'm simplifying, of course -- the better number to use is return over invested capital or possibly return over assets. But the point is, it shouldn't matter if a company is a $1M sales company of a $10G sales company, should it? It's all about how efficient they are?
Besides, smaller companies have a lot more room to grow.
The API idea is great, because you're right, the interface is clunky.
However, 9 HITs in 6 minutes is nothing. Keep it up for an hour at that rate, then we'll talk about your hourly rate! Fatigue would certainly end up cutting that down.
What, if I'm watching Knight Rider, I want to see Pontiac commercials? Or commercials for David Hasselhoff toys? Right now, commercials on TV are geared towards the things that a typical person watching the show would purchase. That's the only connection to the show. Which is why commercials during cartoons often are for breakfast cereal and toys. Not for, I dunno, bikinis with tails (if you're watching Drawn Together).
I'd think the better way to do this would be for Google to serve up commercials relevant to *me*. Who cares what show I watch?
Kids will still be taught evolution regardless of whether or not they get their way with the standards. 99 percent of the parents in this state will tell their kids that evolution is fact. Some of the rest will find themselves explaining evolution simply to inform their kids about the debate. Still more kids will simply hear it from eachother or from media, the internet, etc.
How is this lawsuit different than all the others?
Why is this lawsuit different from all other lawsuits, from all other lawsuits?
For all other lawsuits, we may sue both users and pirates, users and pirates. For this lawsuit, for this lawsuit, only pirates.
For all other lawsuits, we sue many people, many people. For this lawsuit, for this lawsuit, only Chan Nai-ming.
For all other lawsuits, we do not even rehash the same arguments once. For this lawsuit, for this lawsuit, we rehash them a zillion times.
For all other lawsuits, we RTFA either laughing or crying, either laughing or crying. For this lawsuit, for this lawsuit, we all laugh.
...and includes an entertaining riff on the parallels between the open source community and the Burning Man community.

In our parking lot out of about 100 cars there are no Bmw's, one mercedes, one or two high end sports cars and the majority are grocery getter low end compacts.
The only people getting rich are the high up exec's...
You've got a hold of a logical fallacy there. Sure, maybe sports car implies rich, but rich does NOT imply sports car. Many rich people are that way because they don't go for the flash.
From RTFA, I can't tell... are they just saying that the presence or absence of a signal determines your location? Like saying, "Oh, I'm getting WINS on the radio. I must be within 200 miles of NYC"? I was kind of hoping for a precision of at least one foot, if not better.
What's interesting is that there are many parallels between Hitler and Ender, watered down only by the fact that Card carefully constructed the story so as to ameliorate Ender's personal culpability - but when you think about it, the story is so contrived as to make that possibility somewhat implausible even within the context of a rather far out sci-fi story.
I'm not sure if you're personally negative towards OSC, but what you just described is brilliance in literature: to create a villain hero that we sympathize with. So in any case, he really is a brilliant writer. IMHO.
But note that it's possible to have transneptunian objects the size of Mars. Size don't matter as they are still transneptunian objects, part of the Kuiper Belt.
What's the significance of Neptune? Why is Neptune treated as the beginning of the Kuiper Belt? Why not just call every planet beyond Earth a "transterran" object and part of the Asteroid Belt?

Apparently you don't know how the US legal system works. Here it is, in a nutshell (which is an appropriate receptacle):
1. All laws that are passed are legal.
2. Those laws which are subsequently determined to be illegal are illegal.
3. GOTO 1
