However, too many people who claim to follow 'science' follow it like a religion and presume things to be true because someone else said they verified it... only to find out a little while later they were wrong.
Far too many people follow science just like its a religion and completely miss the point. The most obvious place where this happens is astrophysics where most 'science' is based on unproven theories used to back up other unproven theories in one big circular reference. We simply do not KNOW how stars work. We have a good idea that we THINK we know how stars work, but we don't actually know, and aren't likely to know for a some time to come.
We can't however wait till we know for sure unless we want to slow scientific progress down to uselessness, so we assume we know some of these things are right until we end up finding a hole in the theory that shows you something is wrong.
Where it all falls apart is when people think they 'know for a fact' how something works. Anyone with even a little bit of history knows that we are, more often than not, wrong in our theories.
What can be gathered from your statement is that it is possible for people to be killed without firearms, so you shouldn't assume all murders are from the use of firearms. That tells you nothing about any current murder other than it may or may not be due to firearms its impossible to say without more evidence.
The original posters comment should be taken for what it is, there WERE previous warming periods where humans weren't really mass producing carbon dioxide, there have been many of them actually well before humans existed, so it is likely that there are other reasons besides humans that are playing a roll in the current global warming.
It doesn't rule out humans, but it also shows that you can't assume it IS humans. More evidence is needed.
If you just look at the current orbit of Earth around the sun you start to get a clue, but looking at that alone would be ignorant and its likely that we ARE contributing to the trend. We certainly are NOT the ONLY influence.
Of course, you're also ignoring the fact that Mt Saint Helens put more CO2 into the atmosphere than all of mankind before that point, so we really aren't making that big of a dent.
We aren't nearly as important as most people would like to believe.
Yes, you would have. Kids know the difference between right and wrong long before that. Sadly, your 13 year old cousin is apparently smarter than you and probably fully capable of manipulating you into doing whatever she wants since you apparently can't grasp that children aren't stupid.
Right, because when IE6 came out... everyone else followed the standards but not MS... wait... no... not really... FF 1 wasn't exactly worth while and that was as close as you could get.
1) If you think you need MSIs to 'push upgrades or installs' you suck at Windows administration. Just because MS likes to spew them around doesn't mean they are the only method.
2) Simple permissions control this, again, shitty admin.
3) See 1 and 2.
4 is where they all actually fall short.
If 'no MSI FILESA$@!!@#%!@#%' is why they won't roll out another browser, you need to replace your IT people. MS has very good documentation on using other methods to deploy apps to a domain based on group policy without using MSI.
ActiveX will work in all versions of Internet Explorer, its not 'an IE6 thing' any more than plugins only work in Firefox 1. Its nothing more than a plugin system, you should get a clue about it instead of repeating the idiotic 'ActiveX is evil' meme, it just makes you look stupid.
The problem was early implementations of IE allowing anything ActiveX to install itself... it would be no different than having Firefox just install any plugin on a page rather than requiring the user to approve it. Now days IE's ActiveX support is pretty much as secure as Firefox's extension system.
People are stuck using IE6 not because of ActiveX, again, they'll work in any version of IE after 6 as well. Its stupid IE6 specific Javascript and HTML that creates the problem, and mostly really stupid things like checking for IE6 specifically rather than IE6 or later.
But hey, don't let reality get in the way of your ignorance. All you do is show how little you know about why IE6 is actually used, your just repeating what you read somewhere else on the Internet.
I know most geeks hate EP I, and think Jar Jar is TAH DEEVIL, but EP I rocked in my opinion.
Sorry if you remember the late 70s/early 80s as awesome, but get over your hate.
Best light saber fight ever and it doesn't require you to hold your vomit back due to Harrison Ford and Mark Hamills absolutely shitty acting ability and lines. Yoda and Obi-Wan were awesome in both, Qui-Gon was the bomb in EP I.
So yes, I know that I'll probably have half of slashdot dressed in full Jedi gear in front of my house threatening to beat me with their light sabers by dawn, I for one liked EP I
Why? You overlooked the obvious reason they did it as you always do in your haste to hate Apple.
Does Opera honor the Parental Control settings of iOS?
No.
Does Safari?
Yes.
Does apply want to be sued under Child Online Protection Act by some retarded parent who doesn't pay attention to what their children does until its too late?
No.
Do slashdotters assume its because Apple is evil control whores? Yes.
Does Apple do the same thing for every other browser using the UIWebView (WebKit based) that doesn't respect parental controls?
Yes.
Nothing to see here, move along. If Opera wants to get rid of the notice they can honor the parental controls, its not even a little bit hard.
The pictures were taken from a spacecraft orbiting the moon, not from earth. Libration won't effect the spacecraft and more than it affects the sats that give us Google Earth images.
'Going public' doesn't instantly grant you magical money, people have to actually buy your stock.
Anyone that would buy this stock because they hold a patent could invest the money in the company now and get the same result.
Since no one knows about this company, they aren't going to get a bunch of shares sold any time soon.
Redhat made a bunch of money because a bunch of the Linux crowd and some other major investors were fully aware of them well in advance and had already invested large sums of money in the company. They had publicity. This company has nothing.
, if they say they have WMDs they have WMDs, screw the sources.
You do realize that Saddam regularly made public television broadcasts in Iraq saying he had WMD and threatening to use them if Iran attacked... RIGHT?
No? You didn't? Perhaps you should learn a little truth before making retarded assumptions and listening to random douche bags without a clue.
The thing is however, after much prodding, we realized that she shouldn't be a criminal. She is however, a criminal.
So am I for that matter, as I've broken the law as well, but just because you don't agree with the law doesn't change the fact that it was broken.
Change the law, don't break it. Sometimes it takes breaking it to point out how stupid it is and to get people to take action, but that is NOT YOUR FIRST METHOD TO FIX THE LAW, its the last.
As you'll see in someones sig floating around slashdot comments, there are 4 boxes for the defense of liberty:
Soap box, ballot box, jury box, ammo box. Used in that order, not any other order.
If it were my own web sites, I'd very much hope that if someone found an exploit, they'd let me know by visibly defacing my homepage, rather than just ignoring the vulnerability and leaving me vulnerable until some less scrupulous hacker finds it next.
So how does it feel to be an idiot?
The first time your business's web page gets defaced, and the result is that you lose multiple customers resulting in your layoff/being fired, I suspect you'll start to have a much more practical and far less ignorant approach to the situation.
So what does that make me? I switched to FreeBSD from Linux before linuxconf even existed.
I'm pretty sure they guy writing it has no clue what 'old school' Linux actually was, he just seems to want something obscure and hard to use. Sounds more like a recently added fanboy than a long term user.
Do you remember Linux BEFORE X worked on it, let alone anything like GTK/KDE was a glimmer in someones eye.

That story is an urban legend submitted to the Darwin awards years ago, entirely untrue.
I'm sorry but ... WHY THE FUCK DO THEY NEED PHONES AT SCHOOL?
Ban the devices. No one needs them, the school certainly has a phone for emergency phone calls if need be.
Theres no reason a kid needs to have a phone in class.
I agree, keep the nut jobs out of science ...
However, too many people who claim to follow 'science' follow it like a religion and presume things to be true because someone else said they verified it ... only to find out a little while later they were wrong.

Yes, your post is a fallacy.

What does spacing have to do with this?
I think you might want to try inTentionally instead.
And thats the thing, we never know.
In this case however, we do know, and that changes things, like it or not.
Had it never been found out it wouldn't matter as there would never be a possibility of any damage to the teacher.
This is why you don't write shit on the Internet that you wouldn't say in public and to someones face.
I have the distinct feeling you're full of shit.
Yes, you would have. Kids know the difference between right and wrong long before that. Sadly, your 13 year old cousin is apparently smarter than you and probably fully capable of manipulating you into doing whatever she wants since you apparently can't grasp that children aren't stupid.

Actually, the people who continue to vote them into office are the ones who are selling out the company.

No, there is no assumption of innocence when someone admits to doing it. Are you retarded?
If you think redhat is 'Old School', you're a newbie anyway.
Anything that emits enough RF to be a concern will have localized shielding, i.e. a big chunk of shiny metal encasing it.
The PC case isn't mean to be an RF shield, hence why you can buy cases entirely made of plastic.

Oh shut the fuck up, if they donated a 10 billion dollars to OSS development with absolutely no strings attached you'd still bitch.
You simply hate MS and are too ignorant to realize you're incapable of making an accurate assessment of anything MS does because of that fact.
