"Evolution" is not a theory, although there are many theories that attempt to explain why evolution works the way it does. That species are evolving at this moment, and have been doing so for billions of years, is as much a scientific fact as that the earth orbits the sun.
The accusation that the evolution is "merely a theory" is a common thread in fundamentalist dogma.
Nevermind that, but it may become illegal (through creative lobby) to own and operate an unlicensed/unprotected piece of hardware. Enjoy finding an ISP that will let you connect.
If you live in a country where that is possible, you're fucked anyway. Your may as well just bend over. Or get off your ass and vote in the next election.
Same in Canada.
I think this isn't used in the U.S. because it was known that in certain parts of the country, vote fraud was so prevalent that hand-counting was just a waste of time, since the "counters" couldn't be trusted. The only way to clean things up was to automate the process, hence "voting machines" whose output could be mechanically counted.
In 2000, there was no way a voter could verify that their ballot reflected who they actually voted for. A touch-screen with paper output would provide that. A touch-screen without paper output wouldn't.Note that this paper output never leaves the polling booth, and so is not a receipt that can be used for vote fraud.
That's nothing: I calculated that a freight train, going 100 Km/hour, having boxcars stuffed with 200G harddrives, delivers about 1400 TB/sec.
Typical ping time: around 2 weeks.
In a study done about ten years ago, only 1 in 5 American teenagers could identify the United States on a globe.I doubt if they could find Russia, let alone Moscow.
Horseshit.
That's the same as using infinite monkeys on infinite typewriters, and picking the results that you think seem reasonable. The whole point of a OTP is that it is only used once (hence the "O" in OTP). Guessing of any kind is utterly useless since the OTP randomizes the message in a unique way that can never be replicated.
Here's an example: Konqueror, KDE's file and web browser, has a
menu entry called "smbUmount." I don't need a laboratory with video
gear to figure out that this is nearly impossible for non-hacker users
to understand.
Although we can agree that designing a really good UI is hard and may involve non-OSS people like designers and psychologists, that doesn't excuse the numerous bone-headed decisions (like "smbUmount" above) that OSS developers consider "quick and dirty".
The real UI problems with OSS software come from the fact that hardly anybody bothers to do real usability tests - with real users - before the software is released.

We should be glad that a fellow geek is so popular: http://britneyspears.ac/lasers.htm/.
Huh?
The problem is that creationism is promoted not as religion, but as science, when in fact it is nothing but anti-science.
Horseshit. Just check out machine gun or gearbox to see how powerful flash can be in the right hands.
Flash doesn't kill websites, bozos do .
Or anything else, including the non-invention of satellite TV. You can literally read anything into the bible stories.

Yeah, and you could learn how to spell "collaboration".
