    there are many competing models of evolution, there is much controversy about it among real scientists about mechanisms, species relationships, rate, etc.

    In science, evolution is a controversial topic. so is the Standard Model, in physics. Even the real composition of water, in Chemistry (very interesting ion configurations of the hydrogen and oxygen are still be discovered and evidence for some debated.)

    wrong, your gimbal would consider "down" to be the opposite direction of acceleration, rocket engines applying many times that of gravity. could put a gimbal mounted gyroscope to overcome that problem, but then you'd only be making a bigger explosion when the rocket hit the ground by stopping fuel usage.

    How far does it go?

    Mega-corporations, including defense contractors, with the government in their pockets cause protracted wars of choice for profit against peoples who didn't attack us. Hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians die, so they can line their pockets and make political coin and fulfill agendas. Mass murder and maiming for a buck and to fullfill lust for power and importance, that's how far it goes.

    nonsense, for the average use SuSE Enterprise or Red Hat Enterprise would be piss poor choices. the repositories miss imporant end user things, the device driver collections aren't geared for end user needs.

    Gentoo is not for average user. neither is Arch (a little too much sysadmin skills needed to get it installed)

    Ubuntu doesn't have 1 option, they know tooo many people hate their far inferior first choice that they are trying to cram down everyone's throat.

    You are full of shit and hatred. There are over 2 million muslims in the USA who have been here for over 2 decades who haven't been "biding their time" to do anything. I have over a dozen muslim friends, their families came over here to get away from the B.S. at home and to live a happy non-violent life in a prosperous country. they excel in business and academics, asian people tend to be funny that way (there is a racial stereotype for you, and it's a useful generalization)

    misinformed you are, OpenBSD and wares written by the OBSD team are used in routers, appliances and controllers worldwide.

    The BSD have surpised GNU/Linux in wireless chipset support, having drivers sooner.

    The OpenBSD's simple installer too hard for you? don't cry here about your lack of ability to work such a simple thing. Plenty of youtube videos on how to do it if it really puts you out so much to read the excellent docs.

    The OBSD team won't pursue virtuaization because it can't be done securly on x86 architecture. This was proven in 2009, when the most boastful of the hypervisor vendors, VMWare, had exploits uncovered.

    You did not write any ssh code, you are a poseur.

    That "support" is totally irrelevant, there are fixes and patches for all the variants. The forums hold all the answers most normal users will ever need. I've never needed that other Canonical support, nor has anyone else I know that uses K or X or U Ubuntu (including some kids). For the average user, Xubuntu and Kubuntu are fine choices,

    Actually no, the "climatologists" warned in flood years there would be more flooding, in strong hurricane year there would be more hurricanes, after a blizzard that blizzards would be more severe (nevermind the records were set over 40 years ago) etc,
