So far Windows XP seems to have the lowest memory requirements compared with Linux or OS X.
That's very true. On my machine, the graphics in KDE and Gnome are quite slow compared to Windows. The graphics in Windows hardly ever lag.
However, the slowness in graphics in Linux might be because of the number of services that are running (haven't checked what's running in depth), but I would guess that's not the only reason.
It's also true when compared to Windows 2000. I formatted and installed Windows XP (used to have 2000 installed) and it runs a whole lot faster than 2000 ever did on my machine. That's with a 533MHz processor and 256MB RAM.
"He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, and its people are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a canopy, and spreads them out like a tent to live in." - Isaiah 40:22 (NIV)
"21 Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth? 22 It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:" - Isaiah 40:22 (KJV)
Yea, what do you think about that? I vaguely remember my dad telling me something about that around the time it happened (I was about 5, so it must have been about 1990).
Not likely. Linux would have to become much easier to use for the average user, e.g., mom and grandma. Installations are still (not always though) quite difficult considering all the dependencies that may be required.
I don't have any visual proof. I do know for myself from experience that God is real and He loves me and you too. I really honestly can see a difference between believers and non-believers. Me, I am so much happier - I have hope, I have joy, I have peach - I really do, I have purpose. I don't have to feel guilty for things. Even when I'm all alone and I feel helpless, I can keep going because I have hope - I know I'll be taken care of. He's never let me down. I don't think this hope is false - too many things have happened and too many prayers answered that have just proved that it's not mere coincidence. There's somebody answering those prayers.
People say, "this evolved from that." Where are the inbetweens? They would have to exist...
For example, I learned in fourth grade that "wolves evolved from whales."
There is only a disclaimer for evolution because that is what the book is teaching. If it mentions creation at all, then yes, it should also put a disclaimer for that too.
If they need to put a disclaimer for Creationism, then they need to put a disclaimer for every single theory that exists pertaining to the origins of life.
evolution "is a theory, not a fact, regarding the origin of living things. The material should be approached with an open mind, studied carefully, and critically considered."
This does not have anything to do with creation. It simply says that evolution is only a theory and should be not be accepted as 100% fact.
I should have said "species" rather than "evolutionary states". They have never found the remains of or any living creatures that are inbetween species, or have they?
>>Macroevolution has been observed a number of times in a geologically insignificant period.
Prove what you say
There's nothing wrong with that, as long as you don't go and intentionally voice it to the whole entire world exactly how to do it down to the last little detail.
BTW, let's look at an example. If you're in a store and there are things that are easy to steal, it doesn't mean that you should take something to convey that this vulnerability exists.
Why? Because you must realize that this software is (might be) installed on hundreds, even thousands or computers. When one of these exploits is used maliciously, it does not just affect the company that created the software, but it affects the users which are ordinary people. When this happens, it puts innocent people in the middle.
I don't see any problem with reverse engineering the software, but if he is going to post exploits, he should be sued or at least warned. If someone did that with a program I wrote, I would see it as a threat or someone just trying to show off.
The way I see it, life is not being created. As the article says, they are "writing DNA sequences from scratch" and they "tear apart nature's work and reconstitute it in a more logical, malleable form." They "specifying every bit of DNA that goes into an organism to determine its form and function." The life already exists, no matter how small, and they are just manipulating it at a very low level.

How?
Yea, what do you think about that? I vaguely remember my dad telling me something about that around the time it happened (I was about 5, so it must have been about 1990).
That's why I have programs that convert m4p files to mp3.
Xbox games are made for Xboxes...PS2 games are made for PS2...artists who make music do NOT make it for a specific device.
So I should be able to download music from iTunes and play it on any MP3 player I have, iPod or not.
I wasn't talking at all about installing Linux itself. I'm talking about a general program they might use.
Not likely. Linux would have to become much easier to use for the average user, e.g., mom and grandma. Installations are still (not always though) quite difficult considering all the dependencies that may be required.
That's why there's politics.slashdot.org, science.slashdot.org, and it.slashdot.org.
Can this happen with Linux? Can a similar buffer overflow occur and arbitrary code execute? I assume not, but why not?
haha, I have "peace" not peach. I have that too in the fridge...

Yes, but where are the fish with legs?
People say, "this evolved from that." Where are the inbetweens? They would have to exist... For example, I learned in fourth grade that "wolves evolved from whales."
But if it ever did happen, we would be diggin up skeletons of fish with legs, and animals that are between species.

Observed??? When? Where have they found such evidence? Have they ever found remains of a creature which is inbetween evolutionary states?
Then evolutionists should stay out of the classroom. They teach stuff as fact that has never been proven.

That is not what I said. People SHOULD point out bugs, but they should not give exact details (e.g., code) to the whole rest of the world.
