Perhaps. How about this: The Bible is the only information source of Intelligent Design and the fact that it was written by prophets offers no evidence to substantiate it as a legitimate source of observational data.
Science is "The observation, identification, description, experimental investigation, and theoretical explanation of phenomena" - Answers.com. At no point has intelligent Design been observed or tested, only speculated. The Bible is not a scientific journal and cannot considered a legitimate source of observational data.
A theory is "A set of statements or principles devised to explain a group of facts or phenomena, especially one that has been repeatedly tested or is widely accepted and can be used to make predictions about natural phenomena" -Answers.com. At no point has Intelligent Design been tested so despite being widely accepted it has not been accepted by science.
The only purpose of teaching Intelligent Design in school would be to make teaching it in church optional. This fact means one would be supporting church in schools, but this cannot be allowed in the US because of the separation of church and state. Good luck Canada.
The word Blog is newer than the concept it represents; for many it is just another new buzz word, but the hype and recent improvements it blogging software has brought the non-technical community into the same realm as the rest of us. I resisted starting a blog for the same reasons most of the people above have already stated, but it really looks blogs are here to stay. To lump all bloggers into the same group as tech writers is a gross misconception, but the tech writers using blog technology are quickly gaining a following. Blogging should not be looked down upon. The number blog hobbyists are only going to increase and eventually there will be a better term to differentiate the hobbyists and crackpots from the pros.
It doesn't matter how much you trust the company, it only takes one corrupt employee to grab the info about you and sell it to those who can do the most damage. This already happens all the time at grocery stores that monitor your shopping habbits. They may say they don't sell it to others, but the employees do (try it yourself, sign up for a card with a misspelled name and watch all the junk mail you will get under that name). You CANNOT trust companies that gather that much information about you unless it is anonymous. If people are logging in then no doubt it will not be anonymous.
Its one thing if I am the Webmaster and my manager doesn't know how to program PHP and Java, but if he doesn't know understand the basics of programming and how machines interact and what security issues to look for then I would say he is useless. The IT manager needs to have a long term goal for an organization and have the experience to guide the employees toward the goal. The IT part of the IT manager is the experience in the tech/sys admin industry that keeps the IT staff on the right track while understanding what is possible. Its not uncommon to have to explain lower level implementation details to my manager, but the distribution of knowledge should go both ways. I am the local web expert, but my IT manager knows a broader range of information, best practice techniques and policy. It all boils down to experience and knowing how to motivate the staff and get things done.

The worse it gets, the sooner it will end. The RIAA is digging their own grave. Keep it coming.

is it is Java. I wish people could get over their addiction to garbage collection.
