  1. Re:Pfft! Why do Bees fly? on Scientists Figure Out How Bees Fly · · Score: 1

    Even perfect art can be damaged by carelessness (read about the fall in Genesis). Simply because there is imperfection in the world does not prove that there isn't a God that created it.

  2. Re:Pfft! Why do Bees fly? on Scientists Figure Out How Bees Fly · · Score: 1

    Let me clarify... any alluding to evolution by my post was completely satirical. I once believed in God out of blind faith, but now I believe in Him because I have experienced Him in my life.

  3. Re:How bees actually fly on Scientists Figure Out How Bees Fly · · Score: 1
    Bees fly by generating a lifting vortex. The vortex is created by the wing on the up-stroke by beating at a high frequency in a figure-8 pattern. The lifting vortex acts on the entire body of the bee rather than just the wing surface thus generating sufficient lift for the bee to fly.
    Another striking example of an amazing creature evolving by chance... *rolls eyes*
  4. Re:Pfft! Why do Bees fly? on Scientists Figure Out How Bees Fly · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Nothing new needs to be added to the Bible. It is a completed work. And just because we've figured out how something works does not in any way negate ID... Say I painted a painting and for a long time nobody could figure out why and how it looked the way it did. One day another artist figures out how I painted it and understands the technique. Does that discredit me as the artist and prove that the painting was produced any other way than through an artist? If anything it only solidifies the 'proof' of a creator.

  5. Didn't Google on AOL Buys Video Search Firm · · Score: 2, Funny

    already implement an effective video search technology?

  6. It's easy! on Computers That Feel our Mood · · Score: 1

    All they need to do is program it to recognize the OS. If your running a microsoft product, your mood is likely to be frustraighted, angry, and vengful. If you are running a version of linux, you're probably satisfied, happy, and calm. Then there's sony... when a sony music cd is inserted, the computer will start apologizing and begging for mercy, threating suicide, eventually to "kill itself" (Power off).

  7. Survival of the fittest on Tapestry Making Web Development a Breeze? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    There will always be a need for developers. The lack of creative flexability that these types of systems offer will be their ultimate downfall.

  8. Busted... on Google to Transform Television Advertising? · · Score: 5, Funny

    This could be bad news for married people who are secretly searching the web for a "special friend". Opps!

  9. Is it just me... on New Aircraft is Part Blimp and Part Airplane · · Score: 0, Redundant

    or is this the dumbest looking thing/idea ever. Doesn't a blimp with engines (which I assume would use fuel of some sort) defeat the purpose of a blimp? I honestly don't know much about blimps but they seem pretty worthless in our day, sports coverage and advertising excluded.

  10. Re:Hopefully this makes up for the Gamecube sales on 10 Million Nintendo DS Units Sold Since Launch · · Score: 1

    Granted the gamecube is several (3 or 4) years old... I don't know of a game system that old that is selling well... On the other hand, if I had enough money to buy the Xbox 360, the most $ version, I would opt to buy the very inexpensive gamecube and load up on games and accessories. However, I understand that the majority of people still want to get the Xbox 360. It's just a matter of preference... and loyalty. I'll be a fan of Nintendo until the day I die... I was raised on the NES for crying out loud... it's a part of me!

    Now we all have something to scratch our games after we have hog-tied our little siblings... :)

  13. Microsoft at the wheel? on Google Talk Targeted In Patent Lawsuit · · Score: 0, Troll

    It wouldn't surprise me if Microsoft were somehow involved in this, well behind the scenes of course. Think about it... how easy would it be for MS to find some patents that were close enough to Google technologies and then fund the company that held the patent to sue. The more this happens the less money Google has and the more they start to focus on not getting sued again, which will lower their creative drive (think nay-saying exects, ect.). I'm not SAYING that MS is involved... but would it surprise anybody?

  14. Re:Why rag on Gmail? on 10 Failed Technology Trends of 2005 · · Score: 1

    Amen. They're just upset because Gmail doesn't hold their hand and breaks out of the webmail box. Personally, I use Gmail almost exclusively as do most of my friends. Anybody that has used a computer more than a couple of times can use Gmail with little effort. I mean, come on... my mom uses Gmail and it was only about two years ago that she learned how to power the PC on and off.

    As a Christian, I completely agree with you.

  18. Re:Absurd on Sony Settlement Start of DRM Protection Act? · · Score: 1

    We all know they're not going to go out of their way to make the situation right. The fact that they lied about it blatently after the story broke should show us that.

    I'd be surprised if anything worth getting comes from this.

  21. Absurd on Sony Settlement Start of DRM Protection Act? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Once again the big company gets a slap on the wrist and everyone effected gets the peace of mind of knowing that the cd they bought still has the DRM on it and will still act the same way the next time they put it in a computer. Thanks for the great customer service Sony.

  22. What's next? on Apple Revolutionizing Retail · · Score: 1

    So how is this advantageous to shopping online? (Other than the obvious shipping time) Personally, one of the main reasons I shop online is to avoid dealing with the idiots that comprise 90% of the public sector.

    Now you need to listen to only the left earbud for a while so you're equally impaired on the left side.

    Dying, but that doesn't stop 10 out of 10 from doing it. It's amazing what people will put up with online that they would never tolerate elsewhere... I think it's a control thing. Users feel as if they have more control over content on the internet.

  25. Evidence against global warming? on Careful Where You Put That Tree · · Score: 1

    I've long believed that global warming is nothing more than a pattern of warming/cooling that is part of the earth's cycle. Depending on how much heat these trees are producing, could it be possible that they are a major contibutor to the heating of the earth; the process that we assume is global warming?
