IE7 Beta is already out. And most people don't need to hold their breath to wait for something, they just wait patiently because they don't care so much.
I guess you just like to have guns because you grown up in a place where it was legal to have them. Me, having grown somewhere where noone had guns, I see them as unnecessary. My point is, maybe you don't want the possibility of having guns because of themselves, but because you're used to it.
Forget my reply to point 2, I'm at work and didn't read your message very well. Anyway, doesn't matter much since as I said those are almost irrelevant points anyway;)
1. So why weren't the sperm engineered to resist heat?
2. How do you think anti-depressants work? Magic?
3. There are also many cases of the opposite. Which doesn't say much about the "intelligent design" process.
Anyway, this arguments are silly. The bottom line is - anyone will have a hard time proving (or even defending) that we were intelligently designed. At least, if you're trying to prove it to someone who is him/herself intelligent enough to think about what's being said.
I don't understand your logic. Houses right now are using X of capacity. If they use 0.75*X only, there's also going to be a point when capacity will need to be increased (when there are more houses/people). What's the difference?
The more efficient your systems are, the less likely the generators to create new capacities, but the total demand is growing anyway
Demand is not dictated just by the number of people, it's number of people * average demand per person. If efficiency is increased, average demand per person decreases, so total demand decreases too.
I'm sorry but I can't find anything libelous on that page. Yes, I checked a version from a few days ago, so it's not the case that someone reading slashdot fixed it.
I agree with you, but Wikipedia doesn't have thousands of edits per second. Not even per minute. Check this out. 3.6 million edits in June means 120000 per day, or 5000 per hour.
You're an idiot. I was sympathizing with you until I read the last part of your post. Then I noticed your nickname. Does it have anything to do with this idiot? If it does, everything makes more sense.
I live in Denmark. There are no guns. There is virtually no crime. That's the ideal scenario, not a "peace through guns" one. Now, I know it's complicated to change society in the USA, but it has to start some way. Or do you want to have a country full of gun toting rednecks till the end of times?
Sure, all your answers make sense... in an evolutionary view (which is IMO the correct view). But my question was directed towards proponents of the Intelligent Design view hehe. Actually one of these days I'll search for attempts to answer questions like these by the intelligent design guys. Maybe one of them was courageous enough to try? I can't even imagine how one can give an appearance of rationality when defending those things, though...
- Why are our (male's) balls so badly protected? Why aren't they inside our body? - Why are our brains so prone to chemical imbalances causing depressions and such? - Why are girls able to get pregnant before their body can succesfully go through pregnancy and have an healthy child?
Well, it's kind of easy. The one which doesn't get returned 0, gets the pid of the child process (the child process can of course get its own pid easily, with the getpid() function). So, it's the child that gets returned 0:)
It is interesting that Apple do not do this, they don't even have separate "upgrade" prices. If you want the latest version of their OS or basic software (iWorks or iLife), then you pay one price. As a customer I like that.
And do you like that you have to pay for every small upgrade on the OS, which is not the case with Windows?
The really funny thing of course is that the BSD & Linux guys are going to laugh at both the Apple & MS fanboys arguing over which of their overprices OSes is cheaper ^_^
While the Apple & MS fanboys laugh at them about how many weeks they take to set up WPA2 on a wireless connection (if they even can).
I'll bite. Because so many people from western countries associate terrorism with Arabs. So it's ironic if only they have the correct word for describing the fight against terrorism.
Slashdot Mirror
From what I've seen, it's much faster than any linux distro I've tried.
Wow, a joke nearly hit you!
Well, the other guy was talking about the Beta version, so... And look at this article's title :P Anyway, stupid argument.
IE7 Beta is already out. And most people don't need to hold their breath to wait for something, they just wait patiently because they don't care so much.
So what? You can also do everything to any OS if you install a special program (such as the installer for another OS).
I asked precisely because I wasn't sure.

And then you will have maybe committed two crimes instead of one? While you're at it, you may want to burn your neighbours house down too...
Haven't you yet realized your mistake of assuming that all pitbulls are vicious dogs?

Someone should start making a list. Maybe there is one already...

Great post. Other defects in the human body:
- Why are our (male's) balls so badly protected? Why aren't they inside our body?
- Why are our brains so prone to chemical imbalances causing depressions and such?
- Why are girls able to get pregnant before their body can succesfully go through pregnancy and have an healthy child?
Have you thought that if more efficiency is attained, capacity doesn't need to grow as much for us to have the same comforts?
Well, it's kind of easy. The one which doesn't get returned 0, gets the pid of the child process (the child process can of course get its own pid easily, with the getpid() function). So, it's the child that gets returned 0 :)

Don't worry about karma whoring, you've been modded down already.
