There's a Bible quote about those without sin, but by the axe you have to grind, I imagine you've heard of it.
I guess you don't know many professors. I do. They're pretty frustrated over this "ID" tripe, and even more about how little people really understand what science is, and how it works.
Moreover, I would imagine he's probably tired of being "damned" by the ignorant locals. And, as evidence would show, is probably pretty scared over the ignorant masses.
I'll say this again - we really aren't that far from turning into the "Islamic Extremists" that we are fighting a war with. I'm sure some smart boy will post "well, we're not cutting off heads." We've burned, hung, and drowned people in our past due to our collective ignoranc, apathy, and fear - I assure you that it could happen again.
Hush, please don't further annoy and frustrate all the scientists who desperately do not want to admit that they don't have a good detailed answer with proof concerning the origin of life;)
That may be true, but it sure beats the alternative. Either way books will need to be written and a certain book more people will object to editing... "And God dropped slime from the heavens, and said it was good. He then said go forth and multiply, unless conditions are too unfavorable, in which case, take a nap."
Now, I don't know what else was attached to the patriot, but... it's a pretty purple law. Democrats and Republicans seemed to vote for it with equal vigor.
The ONLY senator who didn't vote for it was Senator Feingold (D) from Wisconsin.
So, I have to ask - in this world of "Personal Responsibility" (that's personal responsibility for everyone but the person saying it.) when will corporations WILLINGLY take responsibility?
In addition to the Knoppix CD's we'll be giving the little ghosts-n-goblins, perhaps we ought to include a position paper on Electronic Voting.
Heck, at the next big game, chat with your non-geek friends about it.
Things are getting worse not just because the elected people are twits (there are a few good ones...) things are getting worse because the American people are electing jack-asses.
When was the last time YOU actually went to a library and did some research on what's happening?
How about Israel? Why are the Jews there in the first place? What's the big deal about Gaza? What do Moslems really believe?
If you can answer, how about your brother-in-law? He have a clue?
To pick up a current conservative thread - let's stop blaming other people, and take some responsibility ourselves.
Why the fuck can't people just write normal introductions.
They are assuming a certain level of knowledge. Failing that, they are assuming a certain level of ability to fill in those gaps.

Korporate Funded... Korporate TV
Can't you spell?
Yup, but it's the slashdot way to spell Korporate.
And, sir, you have no argument. All you're doing is criticising mine. But, hey, thanks for trying.
PBS has a heck of a variety: Sewing with Nancy isn't for everyone, but tripe like Elimi-Date, pick your favorite reality TV, or, god help us, Maury Popich, Montel, really isn't making this place a better place to live.
Sure, TV has done some good stuff: MASH, Barney Miller, Firefly, Nickolodean - but is it really all that better? For shit to good ratio, tv is creamed by Socialist TV.

Yeah, "socialist tv really sucks:" NOVA, Wall Street Week, Seasame Street, This Old House, Victory Garden, McNeal Leher Report, Cosmos, Scientific Frontiers...
Not to mention, the cooperation that brought us: Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Dr. Who, Blake 7, Benny Hill, Faulty Towers, Monty Python,
As opposed to Quality TV on Korporate Funded Networks: Friends, pick your favorite reality show, Different Strokes, Heehaw, the 700 Club, GMA, Katie Couric, Friends,
Sure, Korporate TV does get some things right, but show for show, "socialist tv" is doing a hell of a lot better.
Only reason why it smacks of unwholesome, is that the regressives are pissed.

HF, yup, you're kinda stuck with larger antennas. I have seen some pretty nifty setups where the antenna is dangled out of a high window, and it's rolled up after the transmission is done. If conditions are right, you can talk pretty far with a pretty minimal setup.
If you want to do VHF (or UHF) the antennas are a little smaller AND there's a pretty good chance that there's a repeater near by.
That's one of the neat things of radio - getting by with what you have. Any twit can plunk down a load of cash on a kilowatt amp, big radio, and obnoxious antenna - but it takes a resourceful individual to do with limited resources and conditions.
Oh - one last thing - go to a ham club meeting. I'll bet dollars to donuts that you can find someone who would be obsessively helpful in getting you set up.
Once again I'd like to thank the country for re-electing the yahoos who gave us the homeland security crap.
That's what makes this serial number business so insideous - linked with the homeland security crap, the govment has even MORE power to seize what they want, when they want and toss your butt into Gitmo (and, there was a previous thread saying how our "nice american raised army boys" wouldn't dare harm one of our own. yeah, right...)
So, I wonder how long it will be before the/. owners are ordered to hand over the ip logs and other salient information. Obviously, the only people who are against the homeland security act are terrorists, so this/. must be loaded with terrorists.

Didn't the department of Homeland Security say that using Firefox was the "secure" choice a year or so ago?
Wheeeee, this "administration" is a heck of a lot of fun.
Bigger picture, they have cheap, exploitable labor. You can't treat people like that here, but we gladly do it by proxy to the citizens in China.

Bah, I'm getting too negative. I guess exploiting kids is a (evangelistic) Christian value, otherwise we would have invaded China.

I would suggest using a search engine. Perhaps google, that seems to be popular.
If you need help using a search engine, feel free to post for help. I'm sure someone will help.
Bah, don't be a dumb ass. The sentiment was a typical closure. The guy is most likely objective.
It'll be a pile of crap in 50 years. The elements can be harsh on electronics.
