    SO BECAUSE YOU CAPITALIZE SOMETHING THAT MAKES IT TRUE?

    The first link doesn't work by the way.
    Couldn't even find any mention of it on google or the wayback machine. Yes I added the .html

    So your saying that everything didn't start out as bacteria/small measly gunk in a cosmic soup bowl? Then I guess you just threw evolution out the window then?
    Dude, I was just paraphrasing.

    ""Macro-evolution" is not under debate no matter how many times you repeat it."
    Says you?

    "Paleontologists have tried to turn Archaeopteryx into an earth-bound, feathered dinosaur," Feduccia says. "But it's not. It is a bird, a perching bird. And no amount of 'paleobabble' is going to change that."
    Allan Feduccia, Professor of biology at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. "Archaeopteryx: Early Bird Catches a Can of Worms", Science, Vol. 259, 5 February 1993, p. 764

    The validity of all three is being questioned in scientific circles.

  15. Re:The World Is Flat! on Creationist Textbook Stickers Declared Unconstitutional · · Score: 1

    Actually yes thats what the arguement was about. The fact that the judge was disputing that evolution is fact by removing the stickers saying its a theory.
    I was commenting on the fact that most of slashdot was yellling that evolution was fact even though its a theory.

    Ooo clever. You learn that trick in second grade? I like the whole denying what i said with a put down, but not actually giving anything as a rebuttal.

  18. Re:Thank God! on Creationist Textbook Stickers Declared Unconstitutional · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You are thinking of micro evolution. In your example the bacteria gains an immunity, Theres no argument there. Macro evolution is what the argument has always been about. They don't have any proof of bacteria turning into a cat, Or a reptile into a bird.

  19. Re:Good idea. on Mario to Shake His Groove Thing · · Score: 1

  20. Re:first one? on iTunes Accepts PayPal · · Score: 1

    that would be www.allofmp3.com

  21. Re:Cheaper Alternative on iTunes Accepts PayPal · · Score: 1

    actually if you ask them about it they'll give you a paypal account to work with. then you just give them your allofmp3 account name and they automatically give you a gb of download. I recharged my account a week ago and this took about 4 minutes from the paypal transaction to the recharge of the account.

  22. Re:allofmp3 on Canadian iTunes Music Store Opens · · Score: 1

    but does that really make a difference when all their files are burned at 128 kbs?

  23. allofmp3 on Canadian iTunes Music Store Opens · · Score: 1

    or you could just buy from www.allofmp3.com
    they're cheaper and offer encoding in aac, wma, ogg, and all the other codecs.
    They also have a lack of fairplay/DRM that all the other music stores suffer from.
    Only need a paypal account to try it.

  24. TV Windows? on New LCD Flatscreen Concept: A Wedge of Plastic · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Eventually then you'd be able to put these at the bottom of you window to use it as a tv then?
