Stop talking about Blink 182! Those guys are talented musicians. So is Jesse McCartney! Even if he is thumbsucking, smarmy, bedwetting, sniveley punk a$$ homo.
-- This looks like a sig but it's just me taking another opportunity to rip on Jesse McCartney. What a little poser!
What? Yeah, you could design a really cool and neat website with frames and flash and all. That's obviously not the point of his site. I am so sick and tired of hearing people equate a well designed website with lots of stock photos, flash, and other pointless chrome. Maybe you work for cnn.com, I dunno. Is that your idea of a good website? His target audience is professional web developers, and as one of them, I appreciate the fact that at least it's not full of lots of fluff and impertinent crap. It's all about the content.
I am not a Nielsen acolyte or anything, but give me a break. Don't you think he could have his site full of useless crap if he wanted to? Marquee tags anyone? How 'bout blink tags? Maybe frames! Cool! The text, like, moves around! How DO they do that??!
Both sides presented good arguments. Of course, the replies in favor of evolution get modded high, while the replies questioning evolution get modded as troll, flamebait, etc. I say this is interesting because the person questioning evolution did not advocate ID or creationisim, he simply questioned evolution. Yet, he gets modded down and even ridiculed to an extent.
People, this shows two things: 1) slashdot's bias (who cares?), but more importantly 2) the fact that many people who push evolution can tolerate honest questioning no better then, say, a pastor could tolerate someone standing up and asking questions (like, if God has a plan for everything, why do we punish murderers, etc) in the middle of his sermon. Folks who think they are not religious and yet cannot stand to have someone even question their esteemed beliefs, well, I'd say that's religious zeal. Seriously, if people cannot even question evolutionary theory, then I'd say it's no longer good science; good science endures time and any battery of questions you can throw at it. What, you all are ruffled cause someone is asking questions?!? Gimme a break.
