Which is why services like Audioscrobbler are much better for music recommendations. It recommends music to you based on the listening habits of other users that listen to similar music as you.
That said, if the creationists may pull their children from class if evolution is discussed, can a person who rejects creation mythologies pull their kids from that portion of the class?
There is a controversy in that evolution isn't 100% proven fact. This should simply be acknowledged and the door should be left open for it to be challenged in the classroom if necessary.
While you can argue that ID/creationism is not "science" (and I would tend to agree), this doesn't mean that evolution should be given a free pass to be taught unchallenged in the classroom. You have to realize that comparitive religion classes aren't an option at all schools (certainly not middle schools, and often not high schools). Even when these classes are available, they're not required as science classes are. Effectively, you're forcing students to learn about one side of the debate while limiting access to the other.
I personally don't believe that ID should necessarily be taught specifically in the classroom. However, we should at least make a point of saying that evolution is not fully proven fact. As it stands right now in many states, this can't be done. Evolution is being treated as much like dogma as religion is.
I doubt that a small quibble over the definition of science will invalidate educational credentials for a whole state. It really is insignificant in the grand scheme of things.
If you RTFA, they aren't trying to remove evolution from the curriculum at all. They just want all views to be allowed to coexist. There's absolutely nothing wrong with teaching both sides of a controversy.
The restaurant isn't likely to be set up as a scam, but how can you trust the waiter that carries your credit card off to be processed? It's not hard to scribble down 16 digits and a security code when nobody's looking. All it takes is one.
There is a plugin for this new version of Google Desktop search that allows you to specify additional file extensions to search as text files - for example, your.c and.h files.
The part that the grandparent left out is that this only applies to fixed-length hashes. Anytime you hash data to a fixed-length hash smaller than the data, there are collisions. Obviously variable-length "hashes" such as gzip don't follow this rule.

There are 3 types of people in the world - those who can count and those who can't.

I'll take reasonably priced and non-DRM'd. Where's my book?
... You didn't think it was funny, did you?
Was that a French kiss or a Freedom kiss?
Where's the +1 Ironic mod?
Does the "It's funny, laugh" category on this one have anything to do with Amorphophallus meaning "malformed penis"? Penis... hehehehehehehehe.

The Revolution will indeed have an ATI chip.
Lonely geeks + Tomb Raider = sticky consoles.
Thick. Hee hee.

Yes.

Maybe he's on Win98. Everyone's admin on Win98. ;)
Ever heard of "context clues"? It should have been obvious which form of "free" was meant in a discussion about proprietary formats.

$699? I thought the idea was to get TiVo away from Linux...

And I'm sure that you... tested this theory... to make sure you were correct, right?
Sorry, I'm your prior art there.
