Ideologies don't matter. Business models don't matter. There is only one rule. Buy low; sell high. People that pay more for something than they should because of a particular ideology are what the rest of us call fools. Don't get me wrong. I think Novell is going to surprise everybody. But I'm not going to buy Novell stock because of Suse. I'm going to buy it because Suse is going to make them a ton of money.
He says evolution fits with the Genesis creation. Doesn't that mean he believes in some sort of intelligent design, since creation says a supreme being made it happen?
And if people actually DO take creation literally, they should be reading it in Hebrew, in which the six days of creation COULD INDEED be translated as six AGES of creation.
This concept of an age-day was around in ancient times just as it is now. But don't take my word for it. Look it up.
That's not entirely acurate. The Mac OS X kernel is not 64-bit in either iteration. However, I don't know if the x86 version has 64-bit equivalent extensions which are available for the G5.
These guys are getting worked up about something that was hashed out centuries ago. Even if Google offers completely scanned books online, how is that any different than a Library? People have access to free books in every city in the US, but Americans still buy books. Why? Because books are more convenient than even laptops. I say this while admitting that I am an electrical engineer who loves his technology. You just can't beat a good book.
The only people that will NOT buy books are college students and rare, extremely frugal Americans. And they already have access to libraries anyway.
The loss of revenue to authors and, more importantly to these two nimrods, loss to publishers will be negligible.
