The difference is noone says you have to "believe" in evolution. You have to "believe" in the religion (or you're going to hell, right?). Evolution is presented because it's currently the most likely explaination given the evidence. It should be presented that way.
The words "believe" and "science" should never meet!
I think the problem is likely deeper than eating habits and is really a deep-rooted lack of self-control. The American culture seems to be falling into a vicious cycle of self-indulgence. The more you get, the more you want, whether it's food, television, larger vehicles, you name it. (I am an American, by the way, so I'm ciritquing from the inside)
If you'll notice, men get applause from men for making sexist remarks like women get applause from women for making "men are dogs" comments. It really works both ways. Though I think it could be argued that the "men are dogs" comments are a retaliation to the social attitudes toward women, where as the sexist comments are simply enjoyment at someone's expense.
"In the article, he mentions how he gave one of his daughters trucks instead of dolls to be gender neutral. She named the trucks "daddy truck" and "baby truck" as if they were dolls." Interesting questions though: did the girl ever watch television, interact with other girls, have any exposure to any of society besides her toy trucks? Socialization comes from many places...
Actually, one prominent example of Japanese containing the "sh" sound is in the syllable "Shin".
Examples include Kashima Shinryu, Shinkage-Ryu, etc.
For example, Kashim Shinryu Japan
Let me make a quick guess (Assuming U.S. here, apologies if I'm wrong).
You were in middle or high school when you played all these great games, maybe early college. Now you're 25-30 with a job and not as much time on your hands. Nothing compares to all the great games you miss and love from days gone by.
If that's correct, I'm in the same boat.
I don't think it's that the games were so much better or original (to a point, obviously there were THE originals (Mario, Zelda, etc. as far as I know). I think it is mostly nostalgia from the time in our lives. I don't know about you, but I get all kinds of warm and cozy feelings thinking about those games. It completely clouds my judgement when comparing them. =)
For the people out there who haven't seen it all before, I'd bet these new fangled games are incredible.
Of course if you want the best game around, try nethack.
I think the issue here is you're more likely to have to use make to install FREE software on linux. Just as you would use it to install FREE software on the Mac. If you're BUYING software for linux, you can bet you'll get an installer or an rpm or something. That's one of the things I don't see mentioned a lot is that we're comparing the ease of install of a corporation's proprietary software to the ease of install of in-progress open source stuff. Most things that you would pay for otherwise, such as office suites, web browsers, etc. do have installers (Open Office, Mozilla, etc). The things that you use make to install you probably don't even have access to on an M$ system. It's like complaining that Dell sent you a free graphics card but you ahve to install it yourself when you could have paid Best Buy $200 to install it. It's not quite fair to compare the M$ office installer to a network sniffer program you found for free on some h4x0r d00d's site. It seems this happens a lot.
I have to, at least in my personal experience, disagree with this. As far as I've seen, it's scientists who actually examine questions think for themselves. All the religious Christian people I've ever known simply put everything to "God made it that way, I'm not supposed to question" and dismiss anything that that might contradict their particular version of the Bible (although which version is right? And they sure seem to contradict between denominations) no matter how much evidence there is. Sorry, it's a bit of a sore spot. I'm trying to be objective...

---...a lot of my Christian experience has been interesting and worthwhile - not boring, irrelevant and "burn the heretics/witches/computers.---
You're not from the South (U.S.) are you? It's full of "Burn the heretics/witches/computers" type of folks.
When I was in school, one of the secrets was that the fraternities actually had a nicely put together book of tests for various classes. Foreign language, histories, etc. Pretty much all of the core classes' tests were in that book. One of my friends borrowed it for a laugh from a fraternity friend of his.
Forgive me, but I don't see why the bugs:users ratio is important. It seems that 10 Linux bugs for 1000 Linux users is much less of a security problem than 100 M$ bugs to 1000000 MS users. Sure the M$ ratio is better, but with multitudes of users, especially users who are for the most part ignorant of the system's workings, a hole for M$ is much more likely to be a large problem.

I've read the rebuttal of the parent already, but I must say I enjoyed that post if nothing but for the creativity. =)

Oh, why post that AC? I may not agree that this is the truth, but I sure as hell want to!

Or does it drop you into one universe or another AND complete the transaction AND collapse the state vector? Until we can determine which one?
