Yes, but mentioning it implies that you are struggling. It would be more respectful (and show more concern) to not mention your level of concern at all. I'm only stating that there are multiple ways to interpret it. Language is funny like that.
In response to your.sig I would like to point out that "I could care less" implies that one is already struggling to care to the degree at which they do. Emphasizing that you should be lucky that they're concerned at all.
At least, that's the way I interpret it so it doesn't bug the Hell out of me. To each their own.
Wait, what's this about the AT&T gag act!? Did you come from the future? You know you're not allowed to break the rules like that! I'm telling our supreme leader, Bob Dole. All hail Bob Dole. He likes your style
Are you referring to the Human mind? If so, it's an ever evolving script. Everything that occurs causes us to change the physical state of our mind. Personally, I think noting this fact is the only way we'll ever get real AI.
Free will and determinism are both right. Free will seems to exist because of the way time works. Due to our position in time (with the "known" past behind us and the unpredictable future in front of us) free will seems to exist. It's not so much that it's one or the other, it's that free will is merely a concept and not a real thing; but, because our minds can perceive free will, it gives us enough power to make choices based off of the current state of the universe. Determinism, instead, would be a real thing that we've conceptualized. And concepts are good enough for us to base our entire lives on, why would these two concepts be directly incompatible? On a whole the world is deterministic but that doesn't do shit for us because we have no way to measure the state of everything nor calculate the future.
Yes; but, if your argument FOR God lacks substantial scientific evidence, you have no reason to be in this forum. And as far as I'm concerned, there is a huge lack of actual scientific evidence that promotes the idea of a God. The issue here is that evolution is incompatible with a specific facet of Christianity. That's not Richard Dawkin's fault, that's the fault of the Creationists who take an old book of stories and fairy tales too literally.
Feel free to mod me down for this.:) I know I'm asking for it.
Atheism is merely a classification of religion that is on par with "N/A". Because our society puts so much emphasis on religion, it's necessary to make it known that some people don't believe in it. Otherwise we have uncounted votes.:o
Let's follow the philosophy of the Japanese elements for a second. There are 5. Earth (chi), fire (kai), water (sui), wind (kaze), and void (kuu). Let's take that idea for just a second and realize that some might also consider nothing to be something, especially when a classification is necessary or wanted. And in many cases, a religious classification is highly desired. But I blame our overzealous society for that.:)
It should be noticed that I've experienced a small graphics glitch or two. Though, this seems to be an isolated problem. Worst case scenario, you wasted some bandwidth. It's pretty quick, though. I'd give it a shot.

Missed the Post AC button?
C'mon Canada. You used to be cool.
Yeah, but pot makes the exercising easier.
Your move, AC.

Both of the numbers you stated make me sad.
CREATIONISTS!? In MY Slashdot?
It's more likely than you think

But what about battery life? Or do you propose we wait until carbon nanotubes fix the Universe?
You obviously lack the hacker mindset. GTFO my Slashdot.
+5 Funny?
Oh Slashdot, you've done it again! Alas, I can pose no argument to your correction.
No no no, what if GOOGOL is evil?
Yeah, but the mother's life is far more valuable than that of the child's.
But, what if Googol is evil?
Over is the proper fashion!
As a libertarian I would like to agree with your point.

Wow, you're way off. It's more like 7,302 now.

I think it was 2,000 about 4 years ago.
Well, I DO have an Eee PC 701 (was an early adopter) and am running Cruncheee on it. Here's a handy and helpful link: http://www.crunchbanglinux.org/wiki/downloads#cruncheee_eee_pc_edition

Slashdot moderation has gone to shit. Rob Malda needs to redesign the system. Most every Slashdotter knows it. It's time to stop caring about karma.
