  1. Re:"New stem cell harvesting was outlawed in the U on US Stem Cells Contaminated · · Score: 1

    That wasn't really the point I was making. There is no fundamental belief in Christianity that promotes warfarw, crass capitalism, or other injustices. Just because many people who call themselves Christians may believe in these things, they are not integral to the belief system, which is what I was attempting to point out. If anything, Christianity is against these things, if one goes by the teachings of Christ. On the same note, I don't believe that we should generalize Muslims just because some of them engage in terrorist activities. Admittedly, I do not know whether or not these actions are integral to Islam, but I would assume not.

    The "religious right," as everyone has called them, have done a terrible job of showing what Christianity is all about. I, for one, do not believe that the war in Iraq is just or good, because it would be inconsistent with my other beliefs. While many "Christians" may engage in this doublethink, do not fool yourself into believing that these people are representative of true Christianity. And no, I'm not a neocon, nor do I affiliate myself with the "right," on many issues. I believe that if Jesus were to comment on the things that these people spout He would be very disappointed.

    But the tumor has the same DNA sequence as the host, whereas a fetus has a different, unique DNA sequence, and thus is not actually a part of the mother. It can't live on its own outside the womb, but it's still a person.

    I was Gassee's fault that the deal didn't go through anyways. He asked for WAY too much money. Apple priced Be at about $200 million, even though they were worth much less, but Gassee was asked half a billion. His pride ended up shooting him in the foot.

    Wait, you were running a 286 in 1997? That was around the time the the Pentium Pros were available, why would you still run a 286?

    Except some of us don't like RPM based distributions in general. I know there is yum and apt-get for Fedora, but it just doesn't seem right as it does with Debian and Ubuntu.

    Oh man I totally missed that but now that you mention it, that's exactly what he looks like. Except with normal colored skin. Weird...

    Mr. Incredible is super strong, which was Thing's power (mainly, as well as being ugly I guess) and the baby bursts into flames in the end (a reference to Human Torch), but he also has other powers like turning into a demon and solid metal.

    Heapsort is, I know for a fact. I tried implementing it from a book one time (which used [1] as the first array element) and, needless to say, it didn't work :-( So I ended up rethinking the whole thing and then giving up on it :-) (not because I'm lazy but because I found that I didn't need to algorithm.)

    Your post assumes that capitalism is a negative thing. This is not necessarily true. I am a supporter of free/open source software, but I also believe that there is a large need for proprietary software as well. Capitalism drives innovation, as does competition. Without it, many areas would be stifled creatively since they would have very little (outside of academic or personal pursuits) to drive them on.
