I've read the faq, but filterset-g works great for me. I've never had a false positive or negative that I can remember. Why should I blindly follow the faq? If I were complaining about it not working well, I'd see your point, but I'm not.
So if I switch to opera, i have to manually block each thing I don't want every time I go to a new site? Sorry, I'll stick with adblock + filtersetg. If opera had it, i'd switch in an instant, just because i like their rendering engine better.
Or use firefox and get the filterset-g extension, and it takes care of everything for you, including automatic updates to the ad server list. Blocks ads, flash or not. And doesn't block the flash that you want.
I hate IE as much as the next web dev. But show me a single rendering engine that doesn't fix some bugs but not all of them each time they release a new version. Did Firefox 1.5 have bugs, and then 2.0 was completely bug-free? As much as I wish there was a bug-free renderer, there's not. PrinceXML comes VERY close, but it only renders to pdf.
While I have not done enough reading to say with conviction, it nonetheless would seem to me that magnetic sensing may well be older than photo sensitivity. Microbes were absorbing iron long before they got together to collectively form creatures with eyes.
If life started as photosynthetic, they were seeking sunlight before they were seeking iron. But if it started in hydrothermal vents, you're probably right.
Can You ever imagine our beloved Jesus Christ stealing fishes and breads instead of performing a miracle?
You're right, he's not a thief for the fishes and bread. But in Luke 19, 29-36 he fits my definition of a thief for stealing a horse instead of magically duplicating it.
I agree. I think they should be able to discriminate against me as long as they're not government funded in any way. But the law doesn't reflect that, and atheists are the last group that I'm aware of that it's socially acceptable to discriminate against. If any business refused service to jews and the irish, or if a news show said the things they say about atheists about any other minority, society would be furious.
On a more important note, would you allow customers who wear capri pants if they were hot females who were only wearing capri pants and no top? I'd definitely make an exception for that.
Nobody will kill you, arrest you, or refuse to serve you if you're an atheist. Nobody will question or interrogate you. Maybe someone will give you the cold shoulder, but that's about all.
I agree with all of that except "or refuse to serve you".
I've been refused service a few times at restaurants for wearing t-shirts that simply say "Atheist" on them. Although they were little mom-and-pop restaurants, and I live in tennessee, so it may not be wide-spread.
Also, I'm pretty confidant that if my boss found out the real reason why I'm the only person at my (small, 5-employee) advertising company who doesn't attend the hour-long on-the-clock bible study before work, I wouldn't have a job much longer. Although the same could probably be said for any non-christian at my workplace. But once again, maybe it's just tennessee.
Which really makes a lot of sense. Humans show compassion. Lions, tigers and other less intelligent animals do not.
Correlation != causality. We're not compassionate because of our intelligence, we're compassionate because societies with compassionate members were better at having offspring that survived. That likely wouldn't be the case with these ultra-smart robots.
Sure, intelligence is a prerequisite to compassion, because it requires the complex ability to empathize. But it doesn't necessarily result from intelligence.
You seem like the type who when someone says "So a priest, a rabbi, and a minister walk into a bar" would say "Yeah, real nice to make jokes about rabbis, after their grandfathers died in the holocaust." I feel sorry for your friends, if you have any.:P

Yup. Games and videos, mainly. The only time I've had flash annoy me is when it's ads.

No wonder they want to keep it hidden. No doctype! I'd be ashamed too.
And Ma'el, can't forget the Taelon influence.

Nothing? Bah! Back in my day, we welcomed the sweet sweet death of the impending big crunch!
I kill you now in the name of his grammar-loving shadow.
I don't wanna hear about your fancy new penis pump.

Are you posting anonymous because you're the only /. reader who doesn't have adblock?
We get it here too, but I think it's old reruns.

Arrr, wrong pirate stuff, matey.
Normally I'd mod you a troll, but I had to highlight the title of your comment to read it.
$ure you $hould.
Arr, one in the same, matey. One in the same.
May you be touched by his noodly appendage,

When did we start talking about Behe?
All that taught me was how to masturbate.
