  1. Re:Headline is backwards on Vatican Rejects Intelligent Design? · · Score: 1

    "Intelligent Design is the idea that God manipulated and brought upon evolution."

    Intelligent Design is the complete opposite of your description. ID is in effect Christians answer to evolution. Again, the 2 are on complete opposite sides of the spectrum... ask any Christian & they will proudly tell you we did not come from apes, and go on to proclaim that the reason for similarties between species in the fossil record is because they all have the same "Designer".

    IMO ID is garbage science, but please dont mix these 2 theories because ID does not support any aspect of evolution, nor vice versa....

  2. Re:Scratch-off lottery tickets? on Graphics Programs Uncover Secret PINs · · Score: 1

    Similar system in Kentucky as well, tickets can be identified as winners/loosers by scanning the barcode on the back. Only here you can scan as many loosers as you want, the only downside being you are randomly prompted to enter a serial number listed under the foil scratch-off. The machine shuts down if a number is not provided or an incorrect number is entered to many times consecutively.

  3. Re:Compared to a shuffle? on World's Smallest MP3 Player · · Score: 1

    The device is to small for my taste, but one benifit from the cube design would be durability. No matter how unlikely it would be for your iPod shuffle to break in your pocket, it seems the cube would be able to take much more abuse without snapping in half.

  4. Re:Another "scam" - Canadian style on Nigerian Scammers Brought to Justice · · Score: 1

    I think the "envelope stuffing" scam is pretty common. In fact I have never seen a newspaper that did not have one of these ads in it. A friend of mine did respond to one of these ads in a local newspaper, she sent a money order for $19.99 and what she got in return was directions for placing the same exact ad she had responded to & a huge contact list of publications that would print the ad for a fee.

  5. Re:typecast on Dr. Who Series Star Quits · · Score: 1

    I never said they should have a carrer that spans decades.... besides that, Gilligan's Island ran for only 2 or 3 seasons, the original Star Trek had about the same lifespan. That could hardly be defines as forever. On a personal note, Bob Denver is hot.

  6. Re:typecast on Dr. Who Series Star Quits · · Score: 1

    Type casting is a legitimate fear. An actors goal to acheive fame and fortune can be totally destroyed if they achieve mild success with one simple role. Bob Denver was famous on Gilligan's Island, but the cast's contracts had no arrangement for residuals. The show played in re-runs for years after it disappeared from prime time, but Denver was type-cast forever. He disappeared. The cast of the original Star Trek series would have suffered a similar fate except for the success of the Star Trek movies. William Shatner has reprised with a few unmemorable roles, the rest of the cast disappeared from television. The list goes on and on......

  7. America's Army on Senator Clinton Slams GTA · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So murder is only 'good clean fun' for children when its funded/promoted by the US government: http://www.americasarmy.com/
