  1. Re:Serious Competition on Google Releases Chrome OS Tablet Concept Demo · · Score: 1

    I bet you can't. Your just using a rhetorical device here, not actually stating a fact. I think you are incapable of making "...a video of someone using a supercomputer the size of a wrist watch..." As a result, I don't think this post qualifies as "Insightful". pA

    That is ok, it has always replaced my first name Rodney with Rodent... Silly program, I'm a botanist!

    As a professor of biology, I would have to argue this point because it doesn't run on linux. Moreover, just because many journals accept *.doc (but most not *.docx) manuscripts doesn't mean that this is the editor of choice. For me, I keep all my manuscripts and research in a svn repo so Word/Excel documents are relatively useless. Oh, and Excel sucks and it only takes a few days in my Population Genetics course for students to realize it is a liar.

  4. Re:The Worst Office "Feature" Remains on Microsoft Office 12 Beta 1 Is Out · · Score: 1

    Well, if you have a name such as I do, Rodney, it will autocorrect it to Rodent. Very nice feature to keep me scorned, ashamed, and somewhat reluctant to enter society as a full human. So, I learned to code, and guess what? ispell in emacs (the one true editor) does the same thing so I can't blame M$ for it. Perhaps Rodney Allen Ripley just wasn't a big enough hit back in the day to make it in the default libraries...

  5. Re:Look guys: intelligent design is NOT SCIENCE on Slashback: OpenDocument, Intelligent Design, More DRM · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Uh, you are wrong. Origin of Species talks about how one species may, or may not, give rise to additional species. Perhaps you should go read it a bit. Brief History of Time, while an excllent read, is more appropriate for universe origins stuff, but has nothing to do with populations of living organisms. Behe's & Dembski's lunitic ravings require us to dismiss most of the stuff that we've learned from chaos, quantum, and complexity theories since thier inceptions. However, their rationalles based upon ad hominem tactics haven't been limited by reality nor anything more complex than high school algebra.

    Look here dumbass, if you are brainwashed into thinking evolution has anything to do with the big bang, with amino acid formation, with anything relatively close to origins of life issues, you've been had by the fundies and need a bitchslap. I suggest you go to your dictionary and look up the word "Evolution" in the english language. Then come back and see tell me where it says anything about Origins. In case you're just too lame, here is a link for you to click lamo http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=evolution It takes a mental genius to redefine a term and then bash it.
