The fact that google only loads a single image on its front page makes it the best search engine. Pretty flash adds, banners, and tons of clutter/links still puts yahoo, down as an inferior search engine.
As you can see from the original post, I do NOT call creation a science. I say NEITHER IS SCIENCE. IT is not my burden to proove something that I claim is based on faith. I believe it based on faith, and admit that it cannot be prooven scientificly.
My issue is with your silly fairy tale about things popping up out of nothing, with no help whatsoever, except "it took a long time".
You might consider anything from the universe as a whole, to a small pond of water to be "isolated". Whether or not the universe of the small pond of water was disturbed by an outside force is pure speculation.
Oh, even one contradicted law should disproove a fact, even if the earth is NOT a closed system, what about the other laws? If I'm an alleged gangster with 4 alibi, and you disproove one, cant I get off on the other 3? Is a fact, a fact if it is contradicted by another?
Dictionary.com (Faith n.)
" Belief that does not rest on logical proof or material evidence. See Synonyms at belief. See Synonyms at trust."
Untrue. Whether its sponanious evolution, the big bang, or evolution over billions of years, the belief that non-living matter can defy mathimatical probability, and do what cannot be done in a laboritory it does indeed require faith.
>Scientists are only interested in the truth; if Evolution is disproved, so be it.
while I'm not going to say that every scientist out there is interested in propagating Evolution as an undisputed fact, you cannot deny that Evolutions long history of bungled theories such as babies with gills, useless tonsils and apendixes, Crick's "alien" planted, and the ever increasing age of the earth, change to accommodate the theory. When new facts are discovered, knocking the foundations from under evolution, the theory simply... evolves.
You provided nothing to proove your point other than to say "no you are wrong".
"And Evolution is fully supported by all branchs of science that touch upon it."
Actually Evolution contradicts many proven theories/facts. the law of biogenesis, the law of kinds and the second law of thermodynamics all contradict evolution in its current state.
Neither Creation nor evolution can be truly proven.
Geologists dig and find Rocks and bones to SUPPORT evolution.
Archeologiest dig and find rocks and artifacts that SUPPORT creation.
Support is not proof, and since both schools of thought require alot of educated guessing and a little "faith", neither are worthy of being called true science.
There is no more helpless a fealing than an email user who cant reply to an automated spam message, to tell the sender to get a life, or stop sending the message.
How many times have I wanted to find the guy who does this, and (At the very least) flood his inbox(s) with all the mail he has ever sent me. Killing is wrong yes, but you can't expect to tick off millions of people all over the world, and not suffer some retibution if discovered... in short spamming could be hazerdous to your health!
Its not because people want to pay for a new PC. People will get spyware and not understanding how a computer works, they will think its broken. Unless they have kind geek friend to help them out they are pretty much screwed. ( ever tried calling in your computer manufacturer about spyware? )
I know alot of people who will just throw it away, and be done with computers altogether (which may be why home PC business is doing so bad.
Woe to you hypocrites!
Strain out a knat and swallow a camel, Those of you who profess open source with your mouth but deny it in your heart shall be judged!
It is not the web advertiser's right to pummel you with adds.
The "tradeoff" of free content for adds will soon become obsolete, with the advent or extreemly cheap web hosting, and download helpers like bittorrent.
I know that people want to make a little cash on the side with their websites and thats fine by me. I know alot of websites who put nonintrusive adds on the corners, and on the top of the page. And thats fine. But I can choose not to be annoyed. And your website will be replaced by people who do little or non-annoying advertising.
What the heck is pico? I have never even heard of it, thats how lame it must be. Not that I am sticking up for emacs but AT LEAST Emacs has an Xt based Xwindows client. Is there a such thing as Gpico?!!?!?! No LOL
anyone can write a 2-bit editor with a bunch of printf's and scanf's. But Jedit is a REAL Java based editor.
With the majority of Xbox games in the bargain bin, this will be the final nail in the coffin of XBOX.
Finally linux will be vindicated for MS snatching away of halo from the Linux platform, as well as Jade empire. Curses on all game companyies who sold out to gates! Long live ID! long live TUX! long live SonY! and long live the blessed Loki Games!
Let all those who have ever lost their work on a $1 college bought floppy disk rejoice!
Ive got my trusty 128mb, jump drive, and i love it. and it works with any *modern* system that has a USB port. Needs win98 drivers (bleh!)
Red Hat has in my opinion had alot to do with bringing Linux to the main-stream. It was my first nonwindows OS (5.1):) and has alot of sentimental value.
What we have to understand and accept, is that while the core of linux and alot of good apps remain free, and that there will still be alot of free distros, a company has got to make money and do the whole corporate thing. This does have advantages, like getting commercial software, drivers, etc.
There are 2 issues here. 1) The life/death of "Open Source" 2) Having an OS of choice on one's comp.
Redhat has done much to improve both in the past. And at least they're not sueing us or shoving their os down our throughts and making us pay for it. (no names mentioned.)
While the core system and many apps will still be open source, I say let them make and sell a professional system, that may not be completly open source, but that has the potential of loosing the stigma of "garage OS" that linux seems to have. (by no means do i think that, but it is a myth that floats around.)
All I want is more drivers and software. I want my linux games section back in Frys and gamestop. If Redhat has to sell its soul to The man, so be it. ( all you OSS zealots can install Gentoo )
Most of the apps SCO offers are GUN/open source. This means that the majority of them have been ported to all of the competitors, including linux, solaris, BSD, and even windows!
Besides the "kernel personality" (which I dont know much about), I dont see what else they are offering in the way of innovation. Most modern *nix OS's have modules, and alot of OS's have emulation for other os's, so I dont see how "getting with the times" warrents 250 bucks, lol.

Assuming there is a God, and assuming it is possible to clone humans, will the cloned human have a soul or just the original?
Will the original and clone have to share 1 sould or will there be separate souls? If the original does bad will the have to go to hell?
As a christian, I have no problems with cloning, as long as the clone will live.(and not be used as spare parts)

We always go to the Science theatre. Its the ungoddly hollywood theatre that we dont step foot in.
Real funddies believe in real science. Its the theoretical science which cannot be proven with scientific method that we question.
Great. More dependancies, so they can break, and then i cant upgrade... hurray.

That they are not as smart as you think. They probably dont even read or listen the content or compare the size.
WE'RE WATCHING YOU - doesnt sound as scary, especially if they really dont know what they are seeing.

Muh ha, I have my rant prewritten!
As far as bang for your buck,
Most of the apps SCO offers are GUN/open source. This means that the majority of them have been ported to all of the competitors, including linux, solaris, BSD, and even windows!
Besides the "kernel personality" (which I dont know much about), I dont see what else they are offering in the way of innovation. Most modern *nix OS's have modules, and alot of OS's have emulation for other os's, so I dont see how "getting with the times" warrents 250 bucks, lol.
That is so evil. I feel so sorry for Windows internet explorer users.
SCO had IP code in its UNIX IP for Flash cards and part of the kernel this card runs on is stolen SCO code!
I cant show you the code, just take me work for it that it is there.
The entire land of Tameriel rendered in Doom3-like graphics.... awesome. Xbox gots nothing. :P
What does this have to do with the evils of microsoft or how horrible SCO is? what a worthless news story....
lol im getting dizzy from all the spinning.
