1) Do you accept the notion of heredity? Of course you do. Any farmer does; otherwise, what's the use of breeding?
2) If you die prior to having offspring, then, whatever offspring exist in the next generation come from other parents. Parents, who have different genetics than you, presumably, unless it's your twin who's the parent.
ERGO: Those who survive to breed pass on their genetics to their offspring, and those who don't, don't. Consequently, a species consists of the offspring of those who survived (and managed to breed, sorry Slashdotters). That's survival of the fittest, that's evolution, and you'd have to deny heredity to deny evolution.
Antievolutionists deny heredity. Therefore, I propose they abstain from breeding, and no harm done from their perspective. From ours, the world will be a better place in a generation.
Excellent. I've dropped out of graduate school, too. My future prosperity is assured. I just need to learn how to fool people with vaguely theory-based commercial schemes, and people will eventually pay me to talk about how flying cars, Martian tourism, and self-sudsing bath loofas are the future.
I'm assuming by "their" IP laws needing fixing, you are referring to US IP laws. In that case, hear, hear! Canada is the only voice of sanity in American politics.
...only ignorance. That's why I hate statistics (and probabilistic computational complexity classes), because it admits human ignorance. We must know it all, dammit!
Let's not loose our grasp on standard usage.

I think the "useful idiots" is really a reference to the people who would consider themselves "proud neocons" but who don't own a major piece of either 1) a major defense contractor, 2) an oil company, or 3) a corporation whose business model is a pyramid scheme involving deregulated industries.
I thought only the US was insane. Glad to see we're in good company.
Seriously, this is the problem with excessive regulation--ossification caused by stupid rules which try to prop up a system that should, by rights, be changed as new developments emerge. As the world becomes more complex, the process overshadows the goal...and insanity emerges. Software engineering, anyone?
So the image of a corrupt judiciary in cahoots with a the police force is better, eh? Frankly, I'd rather see the police ask for warrants they can't get because it shows that the system is working to some degree. It's kind of like how if the Senate just rubber-stamped all judicial nominees, it would undermine my faith in the checks and balances of government. Hey...
There is no demand for IT people--there is a demand to cut costs, which means the big companies have to make noise about a lack of people to either justify work visas or moving IT overseas. This is happening in the trucking and medical industries, too. Seriously, your xrays will be emailed to India and you will be diagnosed overseas.
I suggest forgetting a college degree as a job ticket; party hard and enjoy yourself while you can still get government loans. Get an MBA or something easy if you must. Rome is burning; bust out the fiddles!
I heard that VOA (Voice-Over-Air) was popular, with an installed user based of over 6,000,000,000. It doesn't have a long range, but it has a kewel interface, sort of like a really high-frame-rate webcam in 3D. Low drop rates, and freeware, too. Perhaps we should target this technology toward developing countries...or countries like the US which will soon be unable to afford regular Internet-based communications.

and it won't be GPL, either. What makes you think China cares about Western IP?
Even if by some miracle of duct tape and chaos theory they pull it off, your automobile insurance rates will STILL continue to rise.

That much hate should be illegal. Except in this case.

Slashdot is well on the way to automation of both articles AND commentary.
1. Require all viruses to be registered with IT.
2. Filter out all packets with the "evil" bit set.
3. Route web traffic through a government-approved Chinese proxy for free content filtering.
4. Require Xboxes for gaming. All the games are coming out for Xbox first anyway. Require all porn to be in magazine form.
5. Repeat offenders will be loopbacked.
We should ALL get these GPS deals implanted, that way we as good upstanding citizens can allay our government's fear of us.
Yeah, didn't Itanium replace that tired old CISC architecture?
Wow. Hoodathunk you could actually store data in an application's memory space?

If you don't like XML, at least it can be trivially and automatically upgraded to your superior replacement. Get cracking on that, by the way.

Its important to maintain proper grammer.
After reading about the language D http://www.digitalmars.com/d/index.html I'm thinking C++ really is hosed.
You mean, like X? How is that news?
Join the rest of the loosers lest you loose karma for your lose use of grammar.

Yes, it's real, as any HP-48 hacker can tell you.
