  1. Re:Dell CYA. on Dell Warns of Vista Upgrade Challenges · · Score: 2, Funny

    Overall, Vista does have a lot of new changes. However, there is not too much there holding a customer back from upgrading. Many of the new features in Vista can be turned off and disabled if they can't be tested or get in the way, leaving you with a very XP-like user experience.


    You are coming to a sad realization that Vista has no value. Cancel or Allow?
  2. Re:In unrelated news... on 48% of Americans Reject Evolution · · Score: 1

    We came from apes. Apes came from monkeys. Monkeys came from lemurs. Lemurs came from rodents. Rodents came from some earlier mammal. That mammal came from reptiles. Reptiles came from amphibians. Amphibians came from fish. And so on. In fact, the biggest evidence of this IS embryology. Do some research on it some time. There's a reason human embryos have a tail, and are indistinguishable from nearly every other land dwelling embryo for quite a large amount of it's development.

    Okay, here's some research (emphasis mine):

    Quoted from "M.K. Richardson, Haeckel's Embryos, Continued, letter to Science 281(5381):1289, 28 August 1998":

    "The core scientific issue remains unchanged: Haeckel's drawings of 1874 are substantially fabricated. In support of this view, I note that his oldest "fish" image is made up of bits and pieces from different animals, some of them mythical. It is not unreasonable to characterize this as "faking." ... Sadly, it is the discredited 1874 drawings that are used in so many British and American biology textbooks today."

  6. Darwin would be proud on Human Species May Split In Two · · Score: 1

    This article is just begging for racial segregation. I wonder what kind of "tall, slim, healthy, attractive, intelligent, and creative" people Mr. Curry had in mind... Conversely, I wonder what kind of "dim-witted, ugly, squat goblin-like creatures" he had in mind...

    Evolution-supported racial discrimination is nothing new. Its right in line with Charles Darwin's book given its full title: "On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life"

    ...What do you think Darwin meant by that?
