There ya go. Cheap for people using low bandwidth. Not exuberant for people using lots of bandwidth. I don't think that means what you think it means...
[edit]
Adjective
exuberant (comparative more exuberant, superlative most exuberant)
Positive
exuberant
Comparative
more exuberant
Superlative
most exuberant
1. high-spirited; with energy or enthusiasm
* 1961, Joseph Heller, Catch-22,
She was a tall, earthy, exuberant girl with long hair and a pretty face.
* Year?, Frank R. Stockton, "The Lady or the Tiger?",
He was a man of exuberant fancy, and, withal of an authority so irresistible that, at his will, he turned his varied fancies into facts. Perhaps you meant exorbitant?

True the cop had balls of steel but not as big as your post implies. It had no ammunition on board and the retard that stole it beached it on a concrete divider (which is what allowed the cop to jump up on it in the first place).
1) Gimp can't do CMYK colors which makes it useless for anything even remotely like professional printing 2) Gimp is vastly inferior with regards to animation (though neither is really the ideal tool for animating stuff)
That's not to say it's bad or that there aren't things it can do better (it has better scripting, it's easier to modify and there are plenty of plugins that are either unique or better than their closest photoshop equivalent), but there are definite advantages to photoshop and pretending there aren't just serves as an excuse not to try and close the gap.
I'm in the same boat. Somehow the non-free flash plugin for Ubuntu magically started working (hacked to ignore the 32 bit only restrictions? I'm too lazy to find out). It randomly crashes, more so the more complex whatever it's trying to load is, but usually works again after restarting firefox. Atleast shit works right when it doesn't decide to choke and die (gnash I'm looking at you...).
Others have already responded to most of your points but I'd just like to talk about the Hydroplate Theory which you mention.
I understand that this is the idea of there having been massive underground seas prior to the biblical flood, no?
Well there are several significant flaws with this idea. Firstly, the water, being less dense than the rock beneath it would tend to have risen to the surface in bits and bobs long before 'the flood' even if it had somehow managed to get under there in the first place. Beyond that it's really hot underground and so so the water would have come up as steam and cooked everything on the planet, Noah included, boat or no. The final flaw is that it was described as raining for 40 days and nights, not having water seep from the ground.

I think that the physical facts, such as the massive quantities of rapidly-buried fossils, the Grand Canyon, http://creationtheory.org/Arguments/Hartman-6.xhtml While this link more or less covers these points I'll summarize as it's a lot to slog through. The fossil record is sorted based on time. Radiological dating coupled with clear evolutionary progress as you look at progressively higher layers proves this. If much of the life on Earth died in a flood then you'd expect to see sorting based on density, size and swimming ability with the metal and stone tools of the time at the bottom and a spectrum of animals ranging from big slow creatures that couldn't make it to higher ground and live longer or swim very well on top of the tools and birds, bats and things that can swim for a long time at the top. Considering that the remains of tools are all well above the likes of T-Rex skeletons this is clearly not the case.
The Grand Canyon is pretty much a poster-child for modern geological theories. It's layering is not consistent with a rapid flood and the canyon its self is best explained by the long slow process of erosion by river. I could probably find some detailed studies if you'd like.
the mitochondrial DNA studies performed at Berkeley in 1987 [1] I don't know where you're getting that 6000 years figure. The study you cite puts her as living approximately 200000 years ago and it's a bit more complex than "our common female ancestor". I'm tired and it's three am so here's a link... http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/homs/mitoeve.html If you have more questions about this part I'll gladly answer them when it's daytime.
and the existence of comets Seriously? WTF... What about comets causes problems for you. Tell me and I'll do my best to clear up any misunderstandings you may have.
Also, I've noticed you seem to have a problem common to many Creationists, you conflate geological evolution, astronomy, abiogenisis and biological evolution. Geological evolution is, as the name suggests about the changing of our planet over time and includes stuff like erosion, desertification and plate tectonics. Astronomy is the study of the stars and can include stuff like the big bang and the formation of our solar system.Abiogenisis is the idea that life originated from non-life due to the chemical conditions present on Earth at the time. Biological evolution is what you seem to want to debate and it's all about the adaptation of animals over subsequent generations due to natural selection. Even if one is disproved it doesn't necessarily invalidate the others because they're all separate theories with their own evidence and implications. The fact that they all tend to support each other where they overlap just adds credence to them all.
The 'problem' that leads to pointless attacks and shit is a simple one. Anyone who's crazy enough to attempt shit like that is probably to crazy to do it right. There's a very narrow line of sanity where you're together enough to put together a bomb without deciding that the detonator is badmouthing your mother and whacking shit with a hammer till your blow your face off and crazy enough so that "Hey, I disagree with (X), I will present a cool and logical argument in favor of my point of view by blowing the shit out of (Y)." sounds like a good idea. If you're more sane then you can follow bomb making instructions and plan an attack, but you probably won't think it's a good idea and if you're crazier then you won't be able to pull it off.
Of course, there's always the sociopaths and whatnot who are a different kind of crazy and are functional while still being brutal and bonkers.

Let's be honest with ourselves. This is Slashdot, there's no need for the madam...
I love how slashdot mods can look at a scathingly sarcastic comment and mod it "insightful".
It's midi-chlorian you insensitive clod!
To be fair it could've also been advocating committing maritime crime against them...
It is. Nintendo is the only company that prices their hardware to make a profit just off that. Sony and MS both take a hit on each console sold.
Is it just me or "infringing your own copyright" sound like a euphemism for masturbation?
