..for those young earth freaks to come out with some formula that shows that the 6000 is actually 150000000 due to mistranslations in the bible. *sticks thumb up butt*
"This obviously raises some questions about creationism..."
Such as?
"Maybe there is no God? We were some experiment?"
The fact that life may be "creatable" does NOT infer that WE were. At least not at the hands of "gods" or other lifeforms.
Remember - Creationists do not accept questions - only answers, and answers that agree with what their parents told them.
They aren't supposed to question their god, for it's considered an unforgivable sin.
Personally, I believe (yes, an atheist with a belief) that the day humans stop questioning everything is the day that science, technology, and discovery will halt. These people, like Jack Szostak, are questioning life. "God" isn't an acceptable answer.
Hey! at least Jack has a damn answering machine. Way better than the 20 something other gods and goddesses out there who won't even effectively manage all of the prayers... I'd rather burn for eternity rather than serving some person who is out of date by a good amount of decades when it comes to telecommunications.
Microscopic black holes would evaporate in a very small amount of time due to Hawking radiation...they would leave a detectable energy signature so that we could tell they were there, but that's about it.
I'm sorry, I can't stop laughing when someone references Hawking radiation; I immediately think of Stephen ripping a cute sounding fart and everyone running out of the room due to the overwhelming odor - and then speaking in his computer synthesized voice, "Pardon me. I never can control those unexpected SbDs."
What runs on X11 really shouldn't be a component of Linux by itself, since X11 runs on many OSs. though I do agree with you in saying that the fault goes to GNOME developers, I must say that it was Ubuntu who decided to design the distribution around it. I can't tell you how many times people insist I'm using Linux since they see I'm running Xfce, yet they look at me strange when i run uname and show that I'm running it off of FreeBSD. Oh well. When it comes to Linux, I'm the Slackware type, so I come from a different perspective on what to expect. Hopefully the next Ubuntu release will be better.
if it helps at all, you can modify the MinOSVersion in the installers Info.plist and games Info.plist to your version of Tiger; I did the same thing for the creature creator when it came out.
You people are horrible. Please hand in your Geek Card as you walk out the door... so I can use it to cut off your dick and shove it in your damn mouth. No, I don't need to worry about a female geek situation because they seem to always lack the supreme stupidity that you certain retarded male few have. Shameful. Just shameful.
There may just be a bnetd 2.0 in the near future... I have yet to see every hacker fail at breaking the piracy wall that Blizzard keeps rebuilding. (not hacking into battle.net; think private servers) Perhaps running private battle.net servers will be the answer to playing LAN games - who knows.
Don't leave this world to the fools. If you're intelligent, try not to die childless.
That is an amazingly homophobic comment. Its offensive on so many other levels too.
What would you suggest as an alternative? I assume the poster's statement means that he or she wishes that the unintelligent people will whither or die; the future will not have as many stupid people. This is includes any sexual preference, since there is no mention of that characteristic. Last time I checked, homosexual humans... are... well... humans too. Lesbian mothers seem to be able to give birth to a daughter if they choose to. Though I assume this is based on the mother's genes, not both. I'm a little curious how 2 gay men would procreate in a "fair" way... perhaps take turns jacking off and shooting loads long-distance into a petri-dish? That's an idea.
I sure as hell hope that intelligent gay people increase as time goes on - the more gay friends my girlfriend has the more I don't have to go shopping for clothes with her;)
Go ahead and mod me down, but some American citizens are unsatisfied, and want to live in a country with some real freedom/rights, and has general equality that they want. As a US citizen, I'm a little unhappy, so if I had a chance to get a job in Norway, Iceland or Sweden, I would probably go for it - expecting the environment and such to be far different then what I grew up in the United States. http://hdr.undp.org/en/statistics/
You mean "Apple-labeled" right? Dell sells "Dell-labled" memory, but it sure as hell isn't under the brand name of dell, but another comany. The next time you have access to an apple ddr2 memory stick, take a look underneath the label...
maybe you should mount your wife's box more often?
Her box is way too huge, and you can tell that lots of things have been taken in and lots of things pulled out that it looks a little bruised. Plus, it just looks too old, and it's always making noises. You learn to ignore it. These days MicroATX boxes are the thing; smaller, tighter, and they're portable - so it doesn't matter where you go, you can always bring along the box to play with.
You can make a bloody mess if you try to stick your peripheral in that kind of box when it just doesn't fit.
According to the hardcore gamrz, if you don't raytrace your tuxracer graphics, then you are just another canal-pal faggot with the rest of us. I've also heard that if you don't run Vista 64 bit Ultimate edition, you are not only a canal-pal faggot, but one that will die of AIDS. And you thought the hardcore conservative crowd were bad...
BSD with the Koran? You see anyone like the GPLers shooting hail Marys err hail.. Stallmans out of their assholes in the BSD group? You should compare us to the atheists, I suppose you can look at buddhists, or some atheistic mock religion like FSM. well. that is my point of view. Don't like us? whaaa! Go fuck yourself, and take our code with you. At least we have a fucking mascot behind our daemons.
It's quite common for humans to be horrible, arrogant, self-obsessed organisms that make you just want to wish they got ran over by a train. But.. "too human"?
*unzips fly* Let me know which game dev studio front door I should pee on.
Yes this was a worthless post, but from the first few posts in front of me along with the description of the article, peeing on their front door to their offices really isn't that bad of an idea after all. When Denis Dyack catches me and asks why I would do such a thing, I'll tell him that he "just doesn't get it." Boy am I in a rebellious mood today.

But isn't Xenu the devil-equivalent of Scientology ? As such, he'd work to keep those videos up and thus hinder the spread of scientology.
Wrong. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenu Xenu brought us to Earth you arrogant fool!

?ho immediately thinks of the production of "Chubby Rain" from that Steve Martin/Eddie Murphy comedy Bowfinger? heh. Off topic. Mod me down.

do not post here again. Horrible.

There must be an ulterior motive, because I heard President Bush didn't care about Black people.
heh, atm (Score:2. Flaimbait) I wonder how high a flaimbaiter can go? :-P
Old "doesn't care about black people" reference: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIUzLpO1kxI)
Heh, just laugh it off. That is how I take in the trolls of /. - and try not to get so defensive next time.</lamenickreference>

and how about mplayer?
hah? mplayer is behind a big fat GPLv2 license.

having "Too" in a title reminds me of having "Extreme" in the title, but not as horrendous.
