The problem has always been for creationists that evolution is just a different religion, or cult to them. Evolution and christianity will never be able to coexist. If evolution were solely explaining the way organisms adapt and change for the future then I doubt creationists would have a problem with it. Evolution goes a step further though and says that it is how everything was created from the "premordial soup" so to speak. As far as the facts go and the evidence that has been found there is no support in favor of evolution or christianity from a pure CREATION standpoint. There is plenty of evidence that evolution is working and we conjecture off of that creation. From a creationist perspective God could have created everything in 7 days and evolution is a mechanism he built within his creations to ensure thier survival.
I believe that evolution does belong in schools and religion does not, because there is seperation of church and state. However, I do not believe that evolution creation theory belongs in schools because it is counter-religion. If you openly teach opposition to religion then you still are not seperating church and state.
It is a fact that these people are as a general rule payed less. As a perfect example, I previously worked as an engineer with a company where I was the ONLY American on the engineering team. The sole reason for this decision was that management was trying to keep costs down. They would hire people on work visas, generally Russians, for positions where they could easily have placed qualified local candidates. They of course made the claim that they could not find qualified candidates locally, but the truth was that they could not find qualified candidates locally. I saw many local people interviewed there and then offered jobs at incredibly low, unreasonable salaries. Those Americans would counter with a reasonable salary demand or reject the offer outright. The company would then just go hire another Russian.
As I stated before I was the ONLY American working in the engineering department. The only reason I was working there was because I had been laid off after my prior employer lost a major contract. I took a $10,000 a year pay cut to go to this scamming company. Less than a year later I quit to go work for another company that gave me a $17,000 a year pay increase.
Of course these companies are hiring foreign workers because it costs less. So now you can go talk about something you actually have a clue about.
To paraphrse what he is saying...
"Opera sucks so bad there is no way we will hit 1 million downloads in 4 days. Our product just isn't worth downloading. Seriously, I'm so sure our product sucks that if I am wrong and people are actually interested in it I will go jump in the ocean and drown myself."
Those 98% already can hose their Windows boxes now so it won't be any different. If you read the article he makes a good point anyway. On top of that, how many "clueless" users are going to pull up an X-term anyway and start running things from the command line? Clueless users run the mouse, which makes it much less likely they will destroy everything.
All it sounds like they will achieve is protecting lonely truckers from getting some stimulation for a much needed jerk-off. I guess they will have to resort to their old tactics of bringing along a porno mag...
Really? Who cares what Dell does these days? Their products have turned to crap and their support is even worse. I remember back in the day when Dell was the best company around. Now they can suck on my sweaty balls for all I care. I will never buy another Dell product so long as I live.
I hate to break this to you, but they are cockroaches. There are many breeds of cockroaches. The ones you are talking about that cause the terrible infestations are called German Cockroaches. German Cockroaches are terribly hard to get rid of. Waterbugs do not generally cause such infestations, but they are a type of Cockroach, the Oriental Cockroach, none the less.
Many people get a little freaked out hearing the word Cockroach because it makes them think of the German filth Cockroaches, but there are many varieties. Most are not difficult to eliminate nor are they attracted to filthy homes, but rather for warmth or moisture.
Just because all of these things haven't completely come to pass yet does not mean that we aren't on that road. Bottled water is a huge industry. Pollution is becoming terrible in some areas. Cleaner emission automobiles don't counterbalance the increasing number of automobiles making pollutants as our population continues to grow. Besides that, cars are only one source of pollution.
Organic foods may be a small market place for foods, but it is growing. You have to give these things time. We are headed for that world if changes are not made.
Of course I love my 4x4 truck, steak, and potatoes. It can't get that bad before I die anyway!
Of course they are trying to show up their competitors. That is the name of the game after all. What would you like them to do? Re-release the original NES?

Star Trek was once great, but it's time is over. Let it die now. Enterprise is a pox on the Star Trek franchise and it is time to bury it. Someday other great sci-fi's will come and build a new inspiration for future generations of humankind.
Networkboy,
Just wondering, did you pay for a PHPNuke license? If not you are required to have a statement at the bottom saying that it is powered by PHPNuke.
Wow this is really going to be incredible. Seriously look at the intuitive navigation of thier website! I have never been so impressed with anything! It is the most intuitive interface I have encountered of all time!
Go buy Half Life 2 at Wal-mart where 1/5th of all videogames are sold. They will ring it up and bag it for the average uninformed redneck. The EULA is not mentioned, the return policy is not mentioned. What happens next? That redneck goes home and finds out they have been screwed because they can not play thier game, but they can't return it either.
Everyone else is griping, so I will too;) I think the Steam validation is a great idea to prevent piracy and the slight hassle it presents is well worth it. For so many years we have heard crap about how piracy forces game companies to drive up the price of games though, yet this "pirate proof" game still costs $50. On top of this I can purchase HL2 directly from Steam, thus Valve and Take Two avoid having to give any money to retailers, but it still costs the end user just as much. So I call bullshit. Give us the damn discount we are entitled to. As for everyone that wants to reply, "if you don't like it don't buy it", I haven't and I won't.
My father also raised pigs; they too had plenty of room. All in all I would say they were pretty content to lay around eating, sleeping, being fatted for the kill. However, the meat in stores often comes from much larger farms with enormous herds that do not have enough space. One of the local corporate outfits that raises cattle has thier cows packed together in areas that very literally has shit as deep as your knees. These cattle live a horrible life and some get really sick because of the living conditions. When one gets really ill they inject it with drain cleaner to "put it out of it's misery". I've seen them put down that way and it is anything but humane.
I love Linux as much as the next person, but my power horse PC runs Windows. My Linux box is a laptop without a TV card. Is there a version of MythTV, or similar software, that runs on Windows?
Does posting about my misuse of the apostrophe make you feel better? I think the point I was making was clear despite this error. You sound like my wife. I'm a programmer not a writer.
It's not like I was posting with 1337 speak and miss spelling every other word for Christ's sake. Oh look I just used an apostrophe correctly; you better run for the hills.
And of course your error is only a typo, but everyone else's is because they are retarded. That's why you are next on the list to receive an invite to Mensa.

It should be noted that these are a few of the synonyms for "just" in the Microsoft Word Thesaurus. Barely Hardly Scarcely Slightly

Oh for crying out loud! Just call a cockroach a cockroach! We all know what waterbugs are.
I was thinking the same thing. Patent abuse is really getting out of hand.
Does this mean the new Linux distros will cum with the Paris Hilton video pre-installed?
