i, for one, think that the universe is not random, it simply has far too many variables to be accounted for in a fast (here, realtime), understandable, or ordered fashion. doesn't entropy work in a predictable manner? think complex as in "complicated enough to be considered random"... just like an rng:)
a question for you: if genetic mutations cause us to evolve (one of many reasons, i presume), how come most species' cells contain protections against miscopying dna?
life and not soul? that's interesting... i wonder how it got to be soul in that translation. does Greek have another word for soul, or is it interchangeable with life? they both make sense... so i guess the idea shines through
if many people started believing that many other people were voting third party as well, it would succeed. here we have people saying that third parties won't work now (perhaps because they're saying that?) but will later (once people are so disgusted with what their favourite party has become (think m.s. style we can do what we want and the fact that values and ideals change)) perhaps a more positive phrase would be: third parties will work if you vote for them
the thing you're forgetting is this: what does the public want for desert?
strawberries would have won... but there was no representative, because to qualify to become a representative (money, connections, law school) none of the strawberry lovers (who are common people) could have been representatives.

it fit nicely into his point, and being the pedantic nerd that i am, i wanted to give the original reference

troll?
how?
it's obvious the universe is immensely complex
The original (niv) verse for those interested: "What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?"
as rocks have shown...
good thinking: you can view their contact page here
i'm pretty sure they'd like that idea
good one :)
and it's an actual newsgroup too!
i kid you not, (link)
since the weather forecasters got it wrong consistently :)
do you have a link to that information?

to quote openbsd.org, "The current release is OpenBSD 3.5 which started shipping May 1, 2004."
exactly, it's a different kernel than freebsd
they're both atrocious...

indeed. however, gnustep is free and can be run atop most unixes and even cygwin
they could handle it.
nice points by the way, some good ideas; thanks.
ok, cool
just asking, because you mentioned konqueror as a file browser, and it does oh so much more (i really really like it for webbrowsing)
thanks

Any specific questions?
what web browser do you use?

but not all muslims are terrorists... what a horrible option.
(why aren't you modded troll??)
sounds kind of... tacky.
:)
at least we still have windowmaker an GNUStep, if not much else, eh?
although os x is based on nextstep somewhat...
