    People don't make major choices about their broad vocations simply on money

    It is really what is important to the person. Some people really want the big house+car+etc... and do not care that they have a soul sucking job as long as they have the big paycheck at the end of the day. Other people need more satisfaction out of their job than just the paycheck.

    But they aren't going to choose between software engineer and doctor

    Wrong :) 10 years of IT and I just quit to go back to med school. The whole thing depends on what you find important, rewarding, and ultimately what you want to say about yourself at the end of your life. Obviously you need to make *some* amount of money to eat and pay the bills, but there is a much smaller lower bound on this money than mass market consumerism would have you believe.

  10. Re: unintelligent design on Venus Probe Returns First Images · · Score: 0

    Scientists hope to learn how Venus, which is similar to Earth in size, mass and composition, evolved so differently over the last 4.6 billion years.

    Evolution -- Bah! Clearly this is scientific proof of unintelligent design...

  11. More pirates means less global warming on Google Accused of Bio-piracy · · Score: 0

    I, for one, am glad to see that Google is joining the ranks of pirates. I see this more as a pro-active protection against the dangers of global warming. As we all know we have scientific evidence that global warming is inversely proportional to the number of pirates on the planet, so any additional pirates that we have is extra security for our polar ice caps.

    I am glad to see that Google has finally been touched by His noodley appendage.

    Wiley's law is just the tip of the iceberg that shows just how fractured and inconsistent the so-called "Theory of Gravity" is. Intelligent falling provides a much more complete and scientifically based explanation than any secular gravatist could hope for:

    Now a woman can choose her path - career, stay-at-home mother, or even both, and it is that choice that we support.

    IMHO -- In this sense women have much more freedom than men do. When a child comes along, how many men get asked whether they want to have a career, be a stay at home father, or both? Not that it doesn't happen, but I would not call it a social norm to for a man to have these kinds of options.
