  1. No one is allowed to Question theory? on Anti-Evolution "Academic Freedom" Bill Passed In Louisiana · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Unfortunately, it's remarkably selective in its suggestion of topics that need critical thinking,


    I personally walk down the middle of the isle, I would like to see teachings on both sides without the hatred from either. I don't understand what the big deal is when someone questions theories or religions. Both should be equally taught and both should be equally questioned. I feel we as a people would tend to learn more and hate less if that were the case. Religion is a necessary part of any culture as is science and learning. Whether you accept it or not religion does play a big part in keeping civilizations civil in most cases. I could cite a few that seem to have the opposite effect but for the most part it's true. I say let the religious keep their religion and teach its history along side other subjects such as civics, math, science, language and whatever other courses are deemed necessary to promote higher learning. It shouldn't be a battle, it's only knowledge.

  4. Tool or toy. on Only One Quarter of the Planet To Be Online By 2012 · · Score: 4, Informative

    Is it just me or does that seem incredibly small?

    Firstly you need to think of how many third world countries there are and also developed nations where there is a vast agricultural society where the internet is just an irrelevant "fancy" for city dwellers to keep themselves entertained. You and I might find the internet a necessary tool for our trades and daily lives but going back 20 or 30 years, could you see yourself becoming so dependent on such a device as a people? Instant information and communication have become woven into the very fabric of who we are but there are many more people out there that simply have no use for it. It steals idle time like heroin steals life. You only need to walk away from it for a few days, or hours in some cases, to feel its draw. Many that have fell into its grasp cannot free themselves, their very livelihood depends on it. For others, the majority it seems, it is simply a useless tool or senseless toy to occupy the minds of those who have access to it. To them it's as useful as a canoe is to a desert goat herder.

    any black hole that could be created at the LHC, even if it is stable, would have no effect on the earth on any meaningful timescale."

    Doesn't time slow or almost stop after crossing the event horizon of a black hole? If that is true then wouldn't the black hole persist for a very long time from our perspective even though from its perspective it only lasted a few nanoseconds. And if so, wouldn't that pose some risk? How does that work exactly?

    ...there's virtually no media coverage. There's an AP wire paragraph that's quoted about it several places and that's about it. No commentary. No detail on any of the articles. How is this possible?

Geees, might as well be Susan Sarandon dragging a box of Cocoa Puffs into the white house claiming each nugget is the soul of a dead Soldier and she wants to pour Bushes blood over them and eat them to appease their spirits. Well no that might get a little media... Never mind.

    I think there should be hundreds of distros! That way everyone could just pick one they like and be as different from everyone else as they like! And then they could make them all use different means by which to update and install different stuff and make it where some stuff works only on some distros and not on others and some distros make you have to, I don't know, sort of "compile" the programs together by hand just to work! Ya! And then if some JERK OFF wanted to learn how YOU made it work you could just say RTFM Windows Fanboy! YA! And then, oh, wait...

  16. Re:installing SP3 on Windows XP SP3 Creating Havoc · · Score: 1

    I ran with no service pack at all for years and had no problems. I only went to SP2 for USB 2.0 functionality.

    A hacked machine doesn't always create problems for the user. Service packs offer greater security against hacks, attacks and someone taking control of your machine and using it without your knowledge to do nefarious things to others. You should always install the latest Service pack before connecting to the internet. (Latest Stable Service pack).
