  6. Re:Why not go to DST permanently? on Daylight Savings Change Proposed · · Score: 1

    i think if we went to it all the time it wouldnt have the title DST it would just be the way things are done, so no special title would be needed.

    I have had no such issues with firefox. running sp2 with all the updates and i sometimes have 10+ tabs open for various school projects and leave it open for days at a time.

  8. evolution isnt fact? on Creationist Textbook Stickers Declared Unconstitutional · · Score: 1

    i actually read something about this the other day while sitting at the dentists office. it was about how we treat infections and diseases with medicines, and then the germs evolve to become resisant to that drug. just a thought
