    And one proprietary one that everyone in the real world is using because unlike the free one, you don't need an honours degree in Animal Husbandry just to set the thing up.

    These are the only reasons I am not a full time Ubuntu user.

    I used to game a lot (mostly Unreal Tournament 2004), but not so much any more.

    +1 to this. I always was a bad speller in grade school/high school. When we got a Apple //e back in 1982 and I ponied up the dough for spell checker software (which had to be run after the fact, it wasn't real time) my spelling improved greatly.

  9. Re:Buy one get one? on NIH Orders Halt To Embryonic Stem Cell Research · · Score: 1

    You seem to have ruled out Democrats with religious leanings. My wife and (90-95% of) her family are all devoutly religious Democrats who will vote against anyone who doesn't vote against abortion.

  10. Re:Buy one get one? on NIH Orders Halt To Embryonic Stem Cell Research · · Score: 4, Insightful

    That is fine, but realize that the "anti-abortion/anti-embryo destroying" voters cross party lines. There will be a significant number of Democrats that will not vote in favor. Politics is not just a two sided coin.

    Couldn't agree more. In sixth grade I took a 4-part Red Cross first aid course as an after school program.would have been 1977-1978 or so. Planning to find something similar for my daughter next summer weather it's through school or not.

    ... proving something to be true scientifically is not enough. ...

    proving something to be true scientifically, is not science. In the scientific method you can prove a theory false, or a theory stands against its tests and is assumed true until proven otherwise. In the scientific method you never prove "true".

  22. Re:Wrong again on No, Net Neutrality Doesn't Violate the 5th Amendment · · Score: 2, Informative

    Apparently you and I have different ideas of what net-neutrality means. To me and I think most people (but I may be wrong) net-neutrality does not mean anything about specific servers it means neutrality in the routing and access of data. For example, if my ISP cut a deal with Microsoft to only allow Bing as a search engine and block or throttle my access to Google I would consider that a violation of net-neutrality. To extend your public road analogy, what if your city cut a deal with Daihatsu to only allow Daihatsu cars on the city streets, you can still shoot first, but your stuck with a Daihatsu in your garage as well.

  25. Re:Already happened in Virginia on Intuit Still Fighting Government Tax Software · · Score: 1

    Nebraska has one as well, NebFile. Even though I buy turbotax for federal and it comes with one free state software, it does not include the state filing fee. So I let turbotax generate the state forms based on the federal then I re-key the data into the state web based form to file free. If the state eliminated the free web based filing I'd probably just snail mail the state forms. I usually get a federal refund and owe the state a few bucks.
