I don't see why shared DNA is damaging to Intelligent Design. Actually I think it's a good case for supporting it. An intelligent designer doesn't re-invent the wheel every time he builds a new machine.
Take two different programs written by the same developer and compiled with the same compiler. If you examine the binaries, you might find that they share certain portions of binary data, where they both included the same library or common data. It's similar with DNA - where humans share common DNA with other organisms, even organisms such as the fruit fly.
Whine whine, moan moan, bitch bitch, nothing to see here, move along. Don't like Apple, don't buy one. Do you bitch about not being able to modify the ECU in your car? Do you bitch about not being able to change the picture tube/lcd/plasma screen in your TV? Are you mad that you can't upgrade the firmware in your digital thermostat in your home or office?
These comparisons are unfair. Unlike these examples, people are likely to have a need to replace the battery in their iPods/iPhones. After a year or two of regular use, the battery is likely to hold less of a charge than it used to. I have an iPod somewhere in my house which is useless because the battery lasts about five minutes. I might replace it, but I think it'd probably be a better investment (and easier) to buy a superior device which is not locked down and features a standard removable and replaceable battery.
Of course, many other manufacturers are designing devices with proprietary non-replaceable batteries, like Samsung. I won't be buying from them either.
That's horrific. An extremely oppressive requirement. I expect that anyone who disagrees with Silvio will be denied permission to upload anything. This is also impractical, because you can't expect every single citizen to apply for permission just to post videos of their cat onto youtube.
Thankfully, I think that this could be circumvented easily, by transferring video files to another country in an encrypted form, then getting friends in the other country to unencrypt and upload it for you.
Actually, the police are the employees of the governments/corporations. Otherwise, why would people be arrested for growing harmless plants, or possessing jpeg images?
You're a penis master. Listen to me, that person used the number 35 only because the person they were replying to used that number first and was also a master cocker, one who was skilled with the penis. Is this because you suck at reading comprehension?
Cool nerds... Oh, do you mean people who use facebook, who 'tweet', who blog from Starbucks with their Macbooks, and who listen to Lady Gaga on their iPods?
I'd like to add, I was mostly joking with my post. But I do think that just because something doesn't seem useful or appealing to you, it doesn't mean that it won't be useful for others. Not everybody is a web designer/graphic artist/gamer.
You're a time cocker. I bet you own an iMac or something. Listen, you can enjoy your shiny white commercial stuff which 'just works'. But don't try to discourage others.

Where are your references?
Don't worry, you can always install Debian for PPC.
That Mandelson is a real crafty cocker. He wants power, and more power, and the more he gets, the more he wants. He can't be satisfied.
With the exception of the longcat and mudkips, it sounds like you just described slashdot.

This isn't flamebait. He's making a pun on 'accidentals'.
No joke. After all, this isn't a guitar, but a synth instrument shaped like one.

What if they didn't give the German prisoners a steak dinner? Would they have received AMD instead?
It's one thing to have 'girl' in your username, but to constantly go on about it is another.
Ouch... no wonder you're always so angry.
I don't mean to offend Miguel De Icaza with that comment, or the developers of the Mono project.
Yea man. Mono sucks. Miguel De Icaza is evil, and he's cockin' mad. He's cockin' penis. Big penis.

Heh heh! PENIS.
who cares about their bullshit 'laws, just install Debian GNU/Linux.
You're a real penis user. No penis, no coprocessor. Let's imagine that Linus's 386 was without a copenis. That's hard going.
You're a penis master.

They were on the way to destruction. They had no chance to survive make their time.
