But his story is a myth. A myth based in reality, certainly, but if you don't acknowledge it, any argument you make can easily be shot down because it is not based in reality.
And from what I've read, he was not really prosecuted for "publishing science that disagreed with doctrine". The church was mostly fine with that. It was more his insistence that it was up to individuals, and not the church, to decide when the bible was to be taken figuratively that was what got him in trouble.
Obviously, not even that should be seen as acceptable behaviour, but it certainly wasn't that the church was opposed to science. It was merely that they wanted the defend their authority to interpret it in a theological context.
No, they are not, except when explicitly claiming that particular power. And this has apparently been done exactly once since that particular dogma was instated in 1870.
Indeed it is not. This kind of shit happens constantly, and it's not newsworthy just because a site you liked did it. Hell, xkcd has done far cooler things than a pathetic little change in the number google hits for a funny phrase.
Yes, you can. You can stand there and watch the the whole process. You can see the box being put into place, you can see that nobody switches it, and you can see it carried away and counted.
That Ron Paul thing only happened because that was a precinct with 160 votes total, and there weren't enough people who got involved as overseers. Take it as a lesson to make sure to be involved, if you want results to be honest.
And voting receipts is the absolutely worst thing for democracy. You SHOULD know why.
Are you some sort of complete and utter idiot? Do you have any idea at all how your own fucking country is run? Do you even know what "secret ballot" means?
Again, do they teach you nothing in school over there?
Horrible Flash graphics, horrible framerate, loose controls, unclear and dull gameplay, and painful and unnecessary cutscenes that try and try to be funny but only cause embarrassment.

It did not have a meaning before this, so it's hard to see how it could have a "new" meaning.

So you're saying that accurate recounting of history is not important, hating the church is?

Sun are very experienced in pushing utter junk software, so mysql was a natural fit for them.
In fact, Paul dismissed the editors involved, directly upon being informed of the objectionable content.
Sources on that, please. In none of the discussions about it I've seen has he ever said he did so.
"A year or two" is a "very short period of time" now?
They are talking about cameras and such. Try to get past the nerd tunnel vision.
You do start to wonder when every story about the Wii has some guy talking about how he bought a Wii but now he's grown tired of it.
Who says it doesn't work? How many times has the exact same kind of stuff been posted on Slashdot? Every thread about the XO is full of it.

Actually, I think they have a far better grip on how Linux works in pracitce than you do.
It's the BALLOT that is secret. The COUNTING is as public as possible.

If anybody's getting trolled, it's me, because I am entirely serious.
Do you really not understand even the basics of how democratic elections are done?

What nincompoop modded this "Informative"?
How about we don't let your failure of imagination hold the rest of us back, hmm? If that's all the same with you?
What the hell are you talking about?
Do they teach you nothing in school over there?
No, it's nothing like that, if you actually read what he's saying instead of rushing in to make yourself sound smart on the internet.
That is just a change of metric. The problem is still the exact same travelling salesman problem.
Now I am curious. Please explain why you are so worked up about the article being one year old.

Unfortunately for you, no. I dislike it for the reasons stated.
It is hard to make a good game in Flash, but it is not impossible. This one falls into pretty much all the usual Flash programming traps, however.
Horrible Flash graphics, horrible framerate, loose controls, unclear and dull gameplay, and painful and unnecessary cutscenes that try and try to be funny but only cause embarrassment.
