That quote shows one of the things I hate most about some creationists. There is a failure to distinguish between the description of nature and the completely separate moral question of whether we should act on it.
I'm not sure about his theory being untestable. Although it couldn't make predictions about the future, evolution was quite specific about what the past should look like.
One of the early problems with evolution was that the fossil record did not appear to fit the theory, the earliest fossils known were of relatively complex creatures which all appeared in a certain era. These fossils were discovered later.
Have you complained about it? If they are aware that people outside the US want to use the service they are more likely to do something.
I know I'm going to have my grammar ripped apart but I'll post what I just sent on their feedback form:
Dear Sir or Madam
It would appear that a member of your legal team has left their post on the 50th floor and found their way down to the server in your basement. There they have recklessly tampered with the equipment and prevented your video service from working with computer terminals located beyond your great nation. I demand that you remedy this situation immediately. I leave the decision on how to discipline this wayward employee to you but might I suggest that any action be harsh and swift as this is clearly a grievous offence and could not possibly be an accident.
I'm led to believe that church funding for religious schools is largely a thing of the past and that currently most of them are currently state funded.
As for politics, yes I did attend a UK school. As far as I can tell politics has moved away from "big ideas" (capitalism, socialism, communism etc.) and is now pretty settled with the parties offering 1% changes to taxes and spending whilst gradually bringing in restrictive laws eg. Labour's anti-terrorism laws, the only example that springs to mind for the Conservatives is the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 (the Conservatives haven't been in power for a long time) which included a number of things the most insane of which was placing restrictions on some kinds of music. Obviously I can't comment on the Lib-Dems' lawmaking because they haven't done much while I've been alive.
I think part the problem is that in the UK we get no political education whatsoever, kids grow up without a clue as to what left wing and right wing are,
It doesn't take long to figure out that they're the same.
what the different flavours of conservatism for example are,
The same.
what liberalism and libertarian are and where our parties sit in these areas.
In general they sit in the same place.
We're never taught the importance of voting,
Choosing a colour.
or how our vote can effect the outcome of an election,
And not the laws made afterwards
hell most people don't even know what the house of Lords is,
Surprisingly, the lords seem to have more sensible ideas than our elected representatives (when they're not being bribed).
they think parliament is one big single chamber of sheer boredom.
Two chambers of sheer boredom, huge improvement
I find this quite shocking, because whilst I can see the merit in music class, religious education, art and so on I really do think politics is perhaps more important, yet oddly entirely neglected. I could quite happy have lived without the hour a week spent in music class, or the 2 to 3 hours spent on English literature (although language is of course important), I understand some people do want to know this, but it should've been optional whereas I'm not convinced politics should be.
Try getting that through parliament without being accused of indoctrination.
I think when people say that checking for updates is one of the things they hate about windows they don't just mean acrobat. Every single program seems to come with it's own updater with it's own quirks and each one has a different procedure to disable it.
I've only had one problem recently. There's a bug where it disables the print button for some documents. That and the slowness are about all that I can find wrong with it.
Hulu still need to kick their legal team out of the server room. The technology exists to stream video to my location so why should lawyers be allowed to fuck it up?
It would also be prudent to look into the reasons that unions have worked. Without knowing these you cannot make a reasonable judgement of the effectiveness of a union in the current economic and political climate.

They probably also have access to lawyers who will tell them when not to use those hardware analysis tools.

I look forward to your response on this matter
That reason is copyright law...which, unless I'm mistaken, CBS doesn't control.
So you're saying they need to get Disney involved?
Which idiot modded this rant insightful?

£12? Bargain. Bet it's heavy tho.
Sorry
Even if the poster has HDMI on their TV, disabling one of the main selling points of the DVD player for no reason is pretty bad design.
I had to boot up my copy of windows 7 to download it.
What's the point of ordering by cost_of_ad_space_purchased when your only selecting entries with it set to 100?
Why bother? You'll only get an email in a few months explaining why they're going to do it anyway.
Cartman?
Alan Turing was British
That's a pretty good reason to do CS elsewhere.
Note that the UK doesn't have an X certificate.
Actually we have two. An 18 certificate which means under 18s cant get in and an R18 certificate which means the film can only be sold in sex shops.

Grr. Another broken feature to look up on the Ubuntu wiki. They really need to start making a special edition for the civilised parts of the world.
Well Shakespeare couldn't even spell his own name so by slashdot standards he would get grammar nazied to the deepest circle of hell.
New here etc.
A bread knife CAN be used to kill someone but that's not what it was designed for.
A bread knife probably wouldn't be a very good choice. Try something pointy.
Just to clarify: This is the BBC. We are not "potential clients"; we have already paid the license fee.
Not all of us. Watching on iPlayer falls just far enough outside the definition of watching TV that I don't have to pay the fee.
