  1. 2 Mac Minis and the enormous price difference on Mac Tax, Dell Tax, HP Tax · · Score: -1

    Here is a price breakdown from a New Zealand website, comparing the two different Mac Mini models: http://christiannews.co.nz/2009/macs-are-too-expensive-mac-mini-a-rip-off/

  2. Re:Remains unbelievable on Texas Vote May Challenge Teaching of Evolution · · Score: -1

    Oh yeah? Then show us this wealth of evidence. Go on, or I'll continue to think that you are bluffing.

  3. Storytime for the Slashdot kiddie Bozos on Texas Vote May Challenge Teaching of Evolution · · Score: -1

    Yup, the /. bozos strike again. The ignorance is flowing. The diarrhoea is bubbling over. The venom of silly young know-it-all men is shooting around the room. But do they actually say anything except the same old dribble that we hear every time such a story comes up. What's wrong kiddies? Daddy upset your Darwinian fairy story again? It's ok. When you grow up, you can learn to think for yourself. Perhaps then you will ask questions of the Darwinian fairy story and realise that is not fact, Fact, FACT but rather a nice little story that lots of people want to believe because it makes them happy.

  4. Re:Do no evil... on Google Challenging Proposition 8 · · Score: -1

    Fundie? Is that what you are doing right now? Or is your belief NOT fundamental to you? If so, when why bother spouting off?

  5. Do no evil... on Google Challenging Proposition 8 · · Score: -1

    So much for Google's motto: "do no evil". This in fact shows just what an idiotic motto it really is, because the term evil is left undefined -- except to whoever gets to define it.

    Stand to Reason offer good arguments against "gay" marriage, for the good of society (good == loaded term of course).

  6. Donations on Chrome Complicates Mozilla/Google Love-In · · Score: -1

    Mozilla could ask 4 donations. A dollar per user should cover the costs, yeah?

  7. Re:Windows ME-2 on Performance Tests Show Early Windows 7 Build Beats Vista · · Score: -1, Insightful

    What a load of rubbish. I have Vista on several PCs and it is FAR superior to XP in many small ways.

  8. Atheros AR5212 Wireless on Ubuntu 8.10 Outperforms Windows Vista · · Score: -1

    And still my Atheros AR5212 inside a Thinkpad R51e does not work :-( Funny thing is, it detects the SSID for the network, so the receiver is working to some degree. The wifi light never comes on, and it cannot authenticate. I guess I'll stick with XP for a bit longer on this machine.

    Sounz like a great example of Intelligent Design to me :-)

  10. Atheros AR5212 on Ubuntu 9 Is Jaunty Jackalope, Coming Next April · · Score: -1, Troll

    I just hope they fix the non-working Atheros AR5212 wireless. Or I shall have to return my kids laptop back to XP :-(

  11. Problems on World's Oldest Bible Going Online · · Score: -1

    Well, of course it won't mention the resurrection if it is from 400 BC. Doh! in addition, he writer mocks the reliability of the resurrection. Really? Well, it's funny how when this topic is debated, the Christians win. See for example the discussion between Gary Habermas and former atheist Anthony Flew. The MP3s are available online. And then there is William Lane Craig who Richard Dawkins refuses to debate (Dawkins ya chicken) who does numerous top-level academic debates - and wins them -- on the topic of the Historicity of the Resurrection. Go to www.reasonablefaith.org for MANY debates in MP3 and video formats from the best scholars in the world.

    Actually I have :-) Is that your best argument? Regards from New Zealand.

  13. Greedy Americans on The SUV Is Dethroned · · Score: -1

    Many people in New Zealand dislike Americans. I am not one of them, however I do agree with my fellow countrymen when they say Americans are wasteful of resources with their BIG cars. My only comment to Americans is to the Christians -- you have a Biblical responsibility to look after and tend the planet. To ignore this and exceed in greed is unbiblical. So how 'bout setting an example for your non-Christian friends to follow.

  14. Please define science on Bill Allows Teachers to Contradict Evolution · · Score: -1

    No, IE8 will save MS :-) But I'm not holding my breath.

  17. Re:wot a lot of crap on PCWorld Says Firefox is Strong, Vista is Weak · · Score: -1

    the Vista menu system is WAY faster to use than any previous version. Did u discover that you can just type the name of the program and press enter to run it?

  18. wot a lot of crap on PCWorld Says Firefox is Strong, Vista is Weak · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    In that period, that operating system went from nothing to 36 percent usage on PCWorld.com--more than 250 percent of the usage that Vista has mustered so far.'" All this shows it that PCWorld is happy enough with XP not to change. Or they are to lazy, or broke, or stupid. Why do these guys have so many problems? I have had Vista on my Thinkpad T43 for about a year now, and it has been excellent with the exception of the slow power ON/OFF issue. Get a grip guys. Your irrational hatred of MS is sooooo obvious.

  19. Re:watch on More Antarctic Dinosaurs · · Score: -1

    In fact, most ID'ers are not young earth creationists. Interesting though that the dino bones found not long ago perhaps contained blood proteins. A short article (incl. contrary link) on a creationist site here: http://www.creationontheweb.com/content/view/606/

  22. hedonism on Why Is US Grad School Mainly Non-US Students? · · Score: -1

    This is where a hedonist society will naturally go. Just consider: if you only live once and that is the end, why would you want to work really really hard in a job that doesn't pay well? Like physics for instance. You are much better off to go into biz studies or management where there is lots of $$$ and the job is a stroll in the park.

  23. Secondhand T43 on Replacing a Thinkpad? · · Score: -1

    I would recommend buying a Secondhand T43 laptop; that is what I did. My only complaint is that the software updates now come from a country that I don't trust: China. You think MS is bad? What about Chinese backdoors into my laptop? That aside, the T43 is really good and runs Vista beautifully.
