    but how does evolution proceed without natural selection?
    There's "unnatural" selection. Most (if not all) of the domesticated animals are a result of careful selection by the human species. That's how you get a chihuahua and a rottweiler.

    Sure, the population is "evolving" (read: reproducing) but with a near 100% reproduction rate amongst those individuals who *choose* to reproduce (again, no evolution here), it is not "evolving" in the Darwinian sense.

    The Origin of Species isn't about evolution. It's about evolution by natural selection. There is a difference. The human species will continue to evolve even if there wasn't natural selection.

  4. Re:Uhh... what? on Which is Better, Firefox or Opera? · · Score: 1, Interesting

    If you're unhappy with something about Opera your options are very limited.

    Opera gives great flexibility in customizing the look, feel, and functionality of the application. I've haven't found anything that I wanted to do but couldn't.

    My mouse has back and forward buttons

    Does your mouse have the close tab, reload page, enter password, and [whatever you can think of] buttons, too?

    Look at it this way, guns can be used to hunt for food. But the truth is, 99% of gun use is against people.

    Would you mind giving a reference to that stat? I find it hard to believe.

    I think it's worth pointing out that they were apparently caught in the act, so it's not like Citibank was standing by idly and not noticing.

    Did you RTFA which says:
    The customers, from whose accounts the money had been withdrawn, alerted the bank officials in the US, after which the crime was traced to Pune.

    So, the bank didn't notice anything, the customers did.

    Well, tubgirl seemed to be on the front page a couple of times. Does that count as a flood (of porn links)?
