I'm not saying I'm against darwinism, but where is the proof? A poorly written article on a no-name website? That dosn't exactly scream nobel prize winning work.
See, from where I stand I'm not going to belive until I get pictures of the fossil and a computer generated image of what they think this thing looked like, oh, and I'd have to read all of that in some snooty scientific magazine.
Allthough, I have to admit that it's a pretty awsome discovery... but I'm sceptical (sp?) if it's real, these things get hoaxed alot...
Still, the pork has way too much fat to be healthy. You can still get trichonosis or tapeworm from infected meat, like regular pork. It's still not kosher or halal either.
Your acting as if Pork is the only fatty food, just about any food that has any accutal good flavor has fat (and thats not opinion, from a cooking standpoint, fat = flavor). Pork is plenty healthy right now, just like any meat, just as long as you don't eat it for every meal of every day, each week of the year.
As for trichonosis and tapeworm, i'm alsmost certain all uncooked meats carry risk (as stated above), we live in a modern society, we have things called freezers that allow meat to be left in an uncooked state without it spoiling, it's much better then leaving it out on the counter instead. Fact of the matter is infections because of raw meat-bord viruses and parasites are probably down 75% since 1900, it's only a guess, but i'm sure people will agree that it's somewhat accurate.
I also don't belive that science should have any place in religion, if you wan't to geneticly engineer a cow thats less sacred to the indian people, thats your thing, not mine, personally I dobt taht the Jewish and Islamic community would accept kosher/halal pork, regardless of if it was or wasn't.
In short: Pork isn't a health food, civilized people cook it, and the only people who would buy kosher/halal pork are the people who allready eat pork anyway.
I personally think that this is a step in the right direction, if we can't get people to eat right,l we can make bad foods better for people, it's better then trying to force people to not eat foods like red meat and pork (I myself had pork for breakfast, and i'll be damned if some treehugger [no offence to anyone who hugs trees] can get me off of my pork roll addiction).
have you ever checked the average person's work computer, most people never delete e-mails, docs, have pictures and music on there too, 32gb really isn't alot of room for most people, they've become accustom to having 160gb of space, they could care less that thier laptop has a 7 hour battery life and weighs only a pound and a half. It works in theory, but in practice it wouldn't hold up. now, as a pocket drive it would be great, i would love to have something that small with that much room, it could also be adopted to MP3 Players too, I jsut can't see it as a feasable replacement for a hard drive just yet, even in buisness markets, even budget laptops now have 60gb, I think thats really the magic number when it comes to bringing in a new tech for main storage (until programs get bigger and the pace of change increases yada yada etc.)
Am I alone in thinking that 32gb is still a bit too small to be a Hard drive on a Laptop.
Windows now takes up nearly 4gb of space, leaving 28gb for programs and data, most people use laptops like they use desktops and never get rid of data, that isn't a whole lot of room to play when programs now get over a gig. Now just imagine in a few years when vista is out how well is 32gb going to hold up?
It's going to take atleast twice that to get me to buy a computer with a flash drive, but on the up side it helps out alot for POS and other applications where energy consumption is an issue.
I have to agree, the only legal risks associated with open source software can be associated with closed source software too. Patent/Copyright Infringment doesn't care how the software is made.
It looks like some people in the government don't like to support the firefox project *sigh*
