You hit the nail on the head. Scripture isn't meant to be taken literally. For all of you 7-day creationists out there i distinctly recall somewhere in the Bible it says "to the lord a day is like a thousand years and a thousand years is like a day." I am a Christian and I go to church regularly. My friends believe in evolution, and I like to think that evolution is totally plausible as well. Big Bang? Yeah I'm there. Ever heard "Let there be light!"?
Dude - Linux isn't for the mainstream. Sure, some are easy, but little can compare to Apple, and none are easy enough for computer ignorant n00bs. This isn't flamebait, I love Linux, but OS X is the best modern OS for regular people, and even many corporate user like graphic design. Also, before you RMS, most people couldn't care less about open source.
Why can't you come out with security patches faster than the open source commmunity you so abhor? You have more trained professionals than open source, ones that are paid to work for you all day long. And, if viruses exist for my OS, doesn't that mean that there is some hole in the OS it can crawl through? Shouldn't you fix your OS fore free rather than charging even more just for a piece of mind?
Microsoft reportedly says that Apple and linux might just give up because Longhorn will be so awesome, and come with a free copy of Duke Nukem Forever and a yet unannounced PC version of Starcraft:Ghost
I lucked out of this one - because of ADD I fidget so much that i'll get miles just sitting at home, and I get told that I'm getting work done! I'm all for this!
While I see where you are coming from, the entire justice system operates off of this concept, not just RFID trackers. Of course sentencing an innocent man to prison is a bad thing, but it doesnt mean we shouldn't imprison anyone because an innocent man might be locked away.
...Is that Tiger-Direct had to be such an ass and wait until right before the release of OSX Tiger to sue. The name Tiger has been known for ages! I wouldn't by any means like it any better if they had sued right away but this is a loser tactic.

Given enough time, even monkeys might possibly be almost sort of able to get windows (mostly) right. All in theory of course.

I'm just going to act as if I never heard Ford, Microsoft, can't, and crash in the same sentence. WARNING:Please do not feed the 800-pound gorilla!
Beacuse its absolutely ruined IBM.
Now we're gonna have to quit using Skype for fear of losing respect for agreeing with him. Sheesh, the guy needs to keep his nose in his own business.
It comes pre-installed! Tracker, keylogger, you name it, we got it!
Or does anyone else think that the only good idea involved in a tablet PC is the touch screen???
Microsoft uses its own web server for it's search engine!!! Coming at 11:MS touts IE as worlds best browser!!!
