Not that surprising; the evangelicals behind Intelligent Design having been saying that Catholics are all a bunch of heretics for years. I bet those nutty priests even think Galileo might not have been so bad after all.
I'm not complaining about the law. I'm complaining that a public school was run by a religious nutjob who felt he was above the law, contrary to OP's assertion that public schools are the exclusive domain of anti-religious people who take science as faith.
I went to a US public school where our principal told the senior class that we were damn well going to go to a prayer session before graduation or we wouldn't get our diplomas, despite a Supreme Court ruling the same year that held that even holding such a ceremony was definitely illegal. Yeah, our entire school system is run by a bunch of atheist communists who hate religion. Right.
This oppression is also why it's absolutely impossible to get elected President unless you're an avowed Atheist.
No, they wouldn't. The word "steal" simply doesn't mean in English what the OP and many people on Slashdot think it means. Calling someone's copyright infringement "stealing" would not be libel because it's true.
Somehow I think a jury in your hypothetical libel case wouldn't be retarded enough to think that the word "stealing" doesn't really mean what every single person in the English speaking world except Slashdotters think it means.
I'd like to see what his safety record would be like if you replaced all of the other F1 drivers on the course with average drivers and let pedestrians run across the road at will. Knowing what the other drivers you're racing against are likely to do makes things quite a bit easier (although obviously not easy enough or there'd never be crashes in auto racing and everyone would stop watching it.)
Well, I'm sure the people doing peer-reviewed studies on this sort of thing (and the people doing the peer-reviewing) were probably all a lot dumber than you and never thought of that.
Unless you can provide fMRI evidence that you can concentrate just fine while carrying on a conversation, I'm going to have to assume you're delusional and completely full of shit.
Yeah, they've "ended Flickr identities" by making you log in with a non-Flickr Yahoo account instead of your non-Flickr email address, while keeping the same Flickr username, URL, and photos. I know I feel my identity was wrested away from me. Web2.0 is dead, and I'm going to get my revenge by moving all of my crappy photos to a broken site with like 5 users. That'll show 'em!
There's a difference between coming up with original characters and creating a whole new genre, or by your arguments Rowling would have needed to write about Merlin to be at all successful.
Right. If only these brilliant writers didn't actually have to come up with an idea of their own to be able to sell books, they'd be able to write best-selling novels!
The people in Human Resources see that you want a C# programmer at a certain high salary, and decide that the job requires someone who's been using C# for 10 years. I always wonder how many jobs with requirements like this go unfilled because the idiots weeding out "unqualified" resumes don't realize that C# hasn't even existed for 10 years.
Great, then we'll get the search engine optimization crowd paying people to call bad pizza places from Google phones to increase their call volume based pagerank.
Well, once their voice recognition software that's indexing everything you ever say on your phone hears you say you want no advertising, I'm sure you'll start getting ads for phones that don't have ads on them.
You got that 13% by assuming that every adult who owns a console and has a child bought the console for that child. I'm nopt claiming to be a representative sample, I'm claiming to be one counterexample which proves that your premise is a load of crap and your grasp of statistics is almost as lacking as Zonk's.

Firefox accounts for 28% of all web browsers being purchased? How can I get into the business of selling people a product they can get from free?

Name one show where the replacement person is actually better than the original person who played the role
Dr. Who. I'd say at least 3 or 4 of the Doctors were better than the one they replaced.

Firefox instead of Safari.
You can set up a Mac to dual boot in OS X and Linux and you're too dumb to figure out how to install Firefox on it?
I'm fairly certain that cricket will never be carried on broadcast TV in the US, so you really don't need to worry.
"This music is so horrible that I refuse to pay for it. But I will download it and listen to it for hours."
Right. Is it just me who's not such a moron that I don't listen to music I hate whether I have to pay for it or not?
Unless the motivated ones are actually motivated to do their work in the lab instead of "networking" with people like you who are there to socialize.

Yes, in the same way that secular humanists are all secretly fundamentalist Muslims.
There's a difference between coming up with original characters and creating a whole new genre, or by your arguments Rowling would have needed to write about Merlin to be at all successful.
Yes, yes, we all noticed that the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ completely closed down; you don't have to remind us.
Right. If only these brilliant writers didn't actually have to come up with an idea of their own to be able to sell books, they'd be able to write best-selling novels!
Well, duh... God covered the planet in that much water so we'd have somewhere to dump all of our toxic waste where we don't have to look at it.
Besides, before the Great Flood only 5% of the Earth was covered with water; the rest is just leftovers.

My console is about 6 years older than my child. I can assure you that I didn't buy it for her.
