Well, sure. If you think of the front leg pair as arms, instead. I could totally see that. You have people - 2 legs, 2 arms. Animals - 4 legs. It's less a stretch to think 4 legs with 2 arms than 6 legs. Just a different way to think about it.
I mean, classification of such things is arbitrary.
Lets not forget the whole "well then He designed this process!" angle you can throw at them. Evolution and Intelligent Design are not mutually-exclusive in their own right.
If they start that whole "the earth is only a few thousand years old" nonsense just feed em some doublespeak until they just accept that both exist. We'll all be happier if they do.
"It's a steam engine, but on a rail carriage" "It's a speaking tube, but on electricity" "It's a wheel but on inflatable sausages"
1. A rail carriage is a rail carriage, no matter if it's powered by steam power, electricity, or magical unicorn farts. If the steam engine was new, then that should be patentable. Coupling it to the rail carriage shouldn't have been patentable on it's own. 2. It's not a speaking tube at all. A speaking tube was a waveguide for audio. An intercom is not. 3. What?
This at least makes me feel better. It wasn't the poor engineer who did it.
"I'm certainly sympathetic to your reaction," said Ted Jensen, head engineer at Sterling Sound, quoted on the Metallica forum. "I get to slam my head against that brick wall every day. In this case, the mixes were already brick-walled before they arrived at my place. Suffice to say I would never be pushed to overdrive things as far as they are here."
"Believe me I'm not proud to be associated with this one, and we can only hope that some good will come from this in some form of backlash against volume above all else."
When I tap the "new game" button (on my HTC Sensation) it shows a black screen and nothing more seems to happen.
How long did you wait? On my HTC Evo 3D, it took about 20 seconds and the game continued on. Subsequent launches seemed faster.
That said, basically you have an object with a rope tied to it extending off-screen. You spin the object around to wrap it in the rope, trying to get as much coverage as possible with the least amount of rope - finishing by kinking the rope on a nail sticking out of the object. That's basically it.
Speaking of the game industry. Some people get better quality sound/music from games (e.g. Guitar Hero) than from the CDs the labels try to sell them.
So, you either like the different mastering and the codec artifacts*, or you simply enjoy the covers more than the original artist's version? That's fine - just don't forget those differences, which end up meaning you are wanting a different product (that is very similar to, but different).
Watch this if the below is something that interests you.
* Specifically I'm speaking of codec overloads, which with typical MP3 happens if you don't give it the 4-5dB headroom pre-encoding it requires. Nobody seems to do this... they maximize it all so the peaks hit 0dB, which is bad for several reasons:
1. It overloads the codec (eg suddenly gets much much more lossy) 2. Clipping! Analog peaks can and do go above the digital sample peaks! Oops! This causes nasty flat-top distortion.
This wasn't even user-generated content. This is stuff that costs hundreds of dollars... eg, the stuff professional producers (eg the people the RIAA etc contract for). That's what tickles me so much.
Could the jar pull the DLL remotely? If so, the only thing local that could be hunted for could be made to be innocuous, since pulling web resources is hardly an unusual process.

Newton's Law of Gravity should be renamed a Theory
There's a reason we call it Newton's Law of Gravity, not The Law of Gravity.

Your issue is that you are using the modern speaking definition of "establish," and not the Olde Tyme legalese definition.
Well, they are certainly not intelligently designed...
Next biology topic: Locusts only have four legs!

3. What?
Why the hell did they choose to test with penicillin immunity? Couldn't they have just altered the color response of the plant or something?
In addition to my other reply:
This at least makes me feel better. It wasn't the poor engineer who did it.
... holy shit!
At least they gave it the headroom for the codec. But that's insane. Why the hell.... do they ENJOY ear fatigue?
Perhaps they need to get rid of the whole "X, but on Y" construct entirely...
Too bad for Monsanto. Perhaps a business model relying on the patenting of things that shouldn't be patentable was a dodgy idea to start with?
Why stop there?
Ubuntu does not do it: see? ("About 4,290,000 results (0.16 seconds) ")

Avadon only works on tablets, so be aware of that if you only have a phone.
Although you do get it for Windows/Mac/Linux, in addition to keys for Steam. So it's not a total loss - you just can't take it with you :P

Rambling rant over.
Indeed. Hell it's not even a radiotelegram, which would at least be interesting.

"Can't you just" means "instead of."
No, but I would have if someone had been all "wow look at this awesome stuff that had Penny Arcade data on it once!"
The kind who do WYSIWY(t)YG in MS Word?
doesn't that have nothing to do with technical writing?
Also, stop putting your comment in the subject box.

... only if:
1. When you have an orgasm, everyone within a few miles felt it, but you didn't
2. Instead, you only got a light shudder
