Charles Darwin, “On the Origin of Species”, 6th Edition, 1872
Chapter 5 “Modes Of Transition”
"If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed, which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down.” Page 220.
Chapter 4 “Organs of Extreme Perfection And Complication”
“To suppose that the eye with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting different amounts of light, and for the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration, could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree.” Page 215.
Inimitable: : not capable of being imitated.
Absurd: : ridiculously unreasonable, unsound.
Darwin gives proof, in his own words, that his theory is "absurd in the highest degree"!
You can't be a good scientist and believe in creationism any more than you can be a good scientist and deny the existence of gravity or atoms.
The more you speak, the more you show your ignorance of the Facts & Laws of Science/Physics.
If you would like to hear the Evidence then reply, if not, then just mock and ridicule me.
I find the Facts and Truth hard to deny.
Its a change in magnetic variation (deviation is the discrepency in a magnetic compass due to its electromagnitic surroundings).
Happens all the time. It's only when the change exceeds certain tollerances that they change the runway numbers. And those tollerances all depend on when that particular airport was last numbered.
Cloudstar's statement is true. We have a saying: "East is Least and West is Best". Back in the days of VORs, when plotting a course, you ADD (West) or Subtract (East) to your planned Compass Heading by the Magnetic Deviation for your flight path. Where I live, it's 7West.
I haven't flown for 15 years now.
This is NEWS?
Nokia Makes multi-touch interactive display made of Ice
"Touchscreens have been with us for quite some time now and we have seen all kind of them, resistive touch, capacitive, multi-touch, etc. However, Nokia’s research lab in Tampere, Finland has developed a rather unique kind of touchscreen, a touchscreen made of ice. Well to be honest it’s not really a touchscreen for everyday use, nor is it very portable as the rig includes a projector and some infrared cameras which are connected to a computer, but after all it’s a touch screen made out of ice and that is quite remarkable. Nokia says that this “Playful experiment” reveals that interactive touch displays can be built anywhere and we are very sure that Mr. Freeze from Batman will be highly interested in the project. Watch the MAGIC ice in action after the break."
I had "Issues" with my Dell 1525n Inspiron which can loaded with Ubuntu 7.10.
After 6 months of "sticking to my guns", they replaced my Laptop with an newer, faster 1525n laptop, which I am using now!
So far, this one is excellent!!
Slashdot is packed with the entitlement generation and you're asking if they approve of the government creating another entitlement? Might as well go to Hell and ask the Devil if sinning is bad.
Amen to that!
I'm almost 60 years old and I believe that if you want something, then go out and earn it!
Expecting something for nothing is just pure and simple Greed, Envy and selfishness, IMO.
1st place; The "Health Care Bill" is not even written yet! How do you vote for a bill which is Not in writing?
2nd Place: The US Government is one of the Worst Fiscally Responsible Entity on this Planet. Who has not heard stories about $400.00 for Hammers and $2,000.00 for Toilet Seats?
3rd: I had relatives, who lived in Canada, until they were told to wait a long time, due to their 60+ age, so they moved back to Europe so their relatives could help them out getting medical care.
4th: Why should non-citizens be covered, when citizens are not?
5: Why should those who do not work and/or do not pay taxes, be given free health care?
6: Why should I, who believes that All human life is God given and that all have the "Inalienable right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness", be forced to pay for the killing of pre-born humans ( abortions ) when it is Federal Crime to destroy a pre-born American Eagle (egg)?
Inalienable; That which cannot be given to nor taken away from anyone.
What kind of "Project" would require this kind of "Bit-Control"?
It least his post got kidcharles' name in the spotlight and "15 seconds of fame":-)
I am 111010 years old this year!
Remember, 1 + 1 = 10.
I have been working in Cleveland for the last 38 years.
I live outside of Cleveland.
The REAL Reason that The Democrats prefer Paper Ballots is that it is Extremely Difficult to Register and have DEAD PEOPLE VOTE!
This has been an Issue that the media tends to 'overlook' and 'play-down'.
Check on the last Presidential Election and you will find stories about Dead People Voting.
Paper Ballots are easy to "Flood" into the voting process.
It hard to drag Dead Bodies into the touch Screen Voting Booths.
One 'Lady' was convicted of receiving a large amount of money from a Democrat, which was used to pay others to "Stuff" the election boxes with Phoney Ballots.
WKYC TV3, NEWS TV5, WJW Fox8, and other Cleveland TV stations are, in my opinion, covering up this issue.
Check the Cleveland News Papers and TV Stations archives for the details.
Seems you have never read the United Nations Security Counsel's Resolution No. 1441?
How about the VX Gas used on his own peole in Basra and against the Irainians during the 9 year war?
Have you been watching the U.S. Supreme Court this year? The U.S. is NO LONGER a "Democratic-Republic"!
We are being Dictated to by Judges, who do not have the right to dictate!
Shame on us, the citizens of the U.S.A.
Read the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution and The Federalists Papers and let us, the Citizens of the U.S., take back our government!!!

Excellent Reply, great advice! I use mostly use Ubuntu 10.04, PCLinuxOS, Puppy and I have tried many others.

I was right, you are showing your ignorance of science.
I never expected you to discuss facts and truth because you can't argue against real science.
You can't be a good scientist and believe in creationism any more than you can be a good scientist and deny the existence of gravity or atoms.

I have 2 Dell 1525n's Laptops with Ubuntu from Dell and I'm very pleased!
Dell has NOT dropped Ubuntu-Dell-PCs! Look here: http://www.dell.com/content/topics/segtopic.aspx/linux_3x?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs
It seems that most "Scientists" like to try to scare the population so they can Get more money just to feather their nests.
It's obvious that you know nothing about GNU/Linux and Ubuntu. I left M.$. Windoze 5 years ago and I will never go back.

It's a great idea but I find it a bit funny that the legislative branch is not included in this bill.
Not "Funny" just business as usual. King B. Hussein Obama has spoken.

I've been using Ubuntu for 5 years now on 2 laptops and a Desktop. I'll never go back to M$ Windoze again!
I don't need anti-virus because I use Linux (Ubuntu, Puppy, PCLinuxOS)! "Malware", Virus, Worms, Trojans, etc., do not effect my PCs.

If it is true that you: "I believe in Intelligent Design. It was all done by Benevolent Space Aliens.", then I must ask WHO Designed the aliens?
