You would do well to take your own advice. What would be the purpose of such a change, if it were not a random anomoly (which would not explain the high incidence of homosexuality)? Especially if you adhere theory of evolution, which I personally do not (at least not as an explanation for the origin of man) then you can't possibly believe that rampant homosexuality is natural. Seen to its ultimate end, it would mean the extinction of the human race. It just doesn't make any sense.
If you haven't already, I suggest that you give some serious thought to the origin of man, taking into consideration all of nature around you. And being a/. reader, I expect that you are reasonably intelligent, so use that mind of yours too:-)
'Most of the people who disapproved of Iraq weren't voting for Bush anyway. By the time the neocons finished with the "you can trust us to keep you safe" and "be afraid of gays" rhetoric they sewed up their base in spite of the fact Iraq turned in to a screwup.'
Talk about fiction...
I cannot concede that Bush tried to convince anyone to "be afraid of gays", but if you listen to homosexual activists, I guess that's what you'll hear. It is an undeniable fact however, that he has chosen to side with nature, and argue that gay marriage just does not make any sense. And, now that you've mentioned it, this probably did compel even some of those who were opposed to Bush to vote for him. Perhaps these swing voters cancelled each other out.
"It also was conveniently timed to help insure reelection."
Wow, and all this time I had believed the media reports that a very high majority of Americans disapproved of Bush for the war in Iraq. In fact, many voters, who had been Bush supporters, did not vote for Bush for this reason alone. So, I don't think this point is valid, else it really backfired.
The problem with this is that your code can evolve significantly from the time you write those initial comments to the time the code is functional. So, if you're going to take this approach, you better make sure that your comments change with your code. The only thing worse than no comments, is incorrect comments.
I couldn't disagree more. First and foremost, humor is subjective, and what may have been funny to the author of the comment, may not be funny to all readers of said comment. More importantly though, when I'm debugging someone else's code, I'm not in the mood for humorous comments. If I want humor, I'll go watch CaddyShack or Fletch. When I want to solve a code-related problem, I only want information relevant to that goal.
Putty is great, but if your employer won't allow SSH through the firewall, then a web-based remote shell could be a nice solution. Of course, security is obviously a concern.
... and people wonder why I call bible-thumpers ignorant superstitious hicks..
I don't disagree that the original comment made by one individual (who happens to associate himself with Christianity) was ingorant, and I'll go further and say that his comments are not representative of Christian doctrine. However, answering ignorance with more ignorance doesn't help.
any religion as long as it preaches goodness is a good one
How do you gauge "goodness"? What is the standard by which it is to be measured?
too many christians thinks they have a superior religion
I've seen too many non-Christians try to reconcile irreconcilable religions. Jesus himself was very divisive. You can't have your cake and eat it too. You have to make a choice, not make up a choice. So, decide for yourself which one is "superior", and get off the imaginary fence.
Hmm, an anonymous coward (implicitly declaring his/her intellectual superiority over adherents of ID) ignorantly extrapolating personal (limited) experience to general society. Seems contradictory to me.
Peronsally, I think it's easier to say there is no God, but that doesn't make it true.
Have you ever driven a Prius? While it certainly gets points for fuel efficiency, it leaves much to be desired as an automobile.
Personally, I think 50 mpg from an 1100 c.c. motorcycle (my Yamaha) is better than 50 mpg from a "vehicle" that, while more practical and utilitarian than a motorcycle, feels like a toy.

+1 for ignorance; Do you think a cop or even a Judge knows what is typical/acceptable use of ssh and/or CVS?

Obviously, you've never recognized the relationship between stereotyping/generalization and ignorance.
Enjoy your "fun" for now...

wow, with that kind of reasoning, ID adherents must be glad that you're arguing for evolution.
That's quite a leap, don't you think?
