Nobody would create x86 in its current form from scratch, today.
That's not what I was talking about. I was saying if someone made an i7. i7 has an x86 instruction set. Understanding of evolution may be necessary to understanding of a good portion of modern biology, but that's because a good portion of modern biology isn't about biochemistry and physiology of different species. Those things would be the same (and would work the same) whether or not one understood where the species came from.
Because this is a "Christian" nation and their right to not be offended by things like cursing, nudity, homosexuality, other religious views mustn't be called into question.
Disapprobation of murder falls under "other religious views". Funny how you didn't mention it since it's the one that religious people associate with embryo destruction. Whether it is or isn't murder isn't the point: anti-abortion people believe it to be so, and are responding appropriately within the confines of that belief.
Is "modern biology" is premised on evolution? If evolution isn't the way things came about, all of modern biology falls apart?
Correct.
So you're saying that if someone started making i7 processors complete with x86 instruction set today, but didn't have Intel's history with 8086/8088,286,386,486,Pentium,Pentium2,Xeon,Core,Core2... that the non-Intel i7s wouldn't be x86 compatible? I contend that biology works the way biology works, irrespective of how it might have come about. If I start a movie in the middle, the characters don't freak out about missing some of their introduction scenes. I leave the car analogies as an exercise for the reader.
Everyone who is against stem cell research should be unable to ever benefit from the results of said research.
I don't want to benefit from any of Herr Wirths' research either... as long as Nazi human experimentation is allowed to continue and especially if the medical procedures call for injecting me with test-subjects' harvested cells.
Thankfully, the Nazis were stopped, no one will ever perform those terrible experiments again (in free countries). The knowledge is tainted, but not evil to use since its existence harms no one beyond the possible temptation to learn more in those areas of "study".
And in case anyone is dense enough not to know why I Godwined here: Fetal stem cell research is often compared to Nazi human experimentation by opposition groups (a logical association based on the assumption that the embryos are human [which is where the debate lies]).
using the mpeg encoder in the cameras in cheap cameras.
I hate to tell you how to mod since I clearly don't know how to type, but "-1 redundant" is intended to express distaste for redundant concepts that are found in prior posts, not grammar-nazi distaste for redundancy in sentences.
I think there's fear that any Indie film that makes it semi-big will be hit with large fines from MPEGLA since they're using the mpeg encoder in the cameras in cheap cameras.
Maybe I'm just splitting hairs, but unless Lucas has given some sort of formal approval, building your own lightsaber is the opposite of authentic.
If I build a Porsche 911 in my garage out of parts from other cars and parts I made myself, it wouldn't be considered an authentic Porsche. Even if I (miraculously) made it faster, lighter, or otherwise better than the real one.
But if you made your car shoot out a stable, contained bolt of blaster plasma in sword-shape, I'd buy two.
The only juvenile delinquency that comic books ever made me want to delve into was with the X-Ray glasses they always advertised on the back page of the comics. For a little boy, I apparently had quite the dirty mind.
Didn't some of those Xray spec ads show a guy leering at his "skeletal" hand with young women in dresses in the same field of view? The ad was begging you to think of the logical conclusion to the picture-story.
And it makes kids think "Evil" is robbing a bank without guns, and yelling "Drat!" or "Curses!" when a superhero shows up. Instead of Evil being a man with an axe holding a severed head. Sometimes the best way to portray a villain is not with subtlety.
Seen a firewire port lately, despite all that Apple did to try to hype it up over USB? Nope. GUESS WHY.
Yes. All the time. You probably don't see them because you work in a security concious industry instead of an artsy one. And to clarify, I'm seeing fw400 and 800 on HPs Dells, beige box. Not just Apple.
Teach them that India needs a vibrant IT industry of its own, and that the call center people in India could (should) be the ones servicing Indian computers. Teach them that the jobs from the US will eventually dry up, because it will either become economical to use US personnel again, or the US companies will fold. Teach them hands-on skills to grow India's IT base. Teach them the fun of hacking hardware.
Historical reasons. The fact that those historical reasons no longer exist doesn't mean that they aren't ingrained in our culture for many more generations.
that, on first meeting their innocent babies, some mothers actually bring their babies into close contact with their nasty sexual organs
It's a dirty little secret that's done by a huge percentage of the population. From a literary context: Macduff is the moral center of "Macbeth" because he was "from his mother's womb \ Untimely ripped", unlike all of the other traumatized people who could not harm Macbeth.
We won't know true social harmony until we can grow all babies in test tubes away from their depraved egg-donors.
This is the same reason pot is illegal, prostitution is illegal, gambling is illegal (unless the states is sponsoring it, then it is ok) in most parts of the US.
There are some good historical reasons for prostitution and gambling to be illegal: social diseases for prostitution, and gambling being - at best - a con game with some entertainment value, and at worst, an addictive con game or front-cover for crime gangs (where else to launder large amounts of bills?).
As you hunt them down, surviving botnets will control ever larger percentages of SPAM. The final one (there can only be one) will win the prize of 100% SPAM responsibility, and that's too much power for anyone, including a collection of disparate computers.
iOS is great for devices, but why would Jobs retool that instead of just using OS X for servers?
He's already using OS X for servers, but people can install custom software and compile things. That doesn't mesh with Apple's future plans. Xserves will only need to provide dhcp, dns, ntp, proprietary iOS services, and http(s). No other services [sh/w]ould be allowed because iOS Pads, Phones, and Macs are the expected clients. Cuts down on their support overhead, and helps future lock in.

Exactly when the embryo becomes legally human is the issue.
You're not a person until you're self-sufficient.
person=/=human Legality of when an embryo becomes a person is already established by the judiciary as "upon birth".

Personally, if I were George Lucas, I'd celebrate this guy and very possibly give him a job.
A Job? The actors just hold bright green PVC pipe these days and have the guns CG'd in.

Yeah, didn't we design the stairs-weakness into robots for a good reason?
A technically correct term, albeit against normal colloquialism which calls them memory chips. Memory chips are the black things on the cards.
{and here is where obvious parody dangerously approaches the reality of some people's thoughts, and so must be noted as parody}
Wait, you were kidding?
...Just kidding.

Google with Safe Search disabled doesn't even have anything like that.
For _you_. The owner of that computer must have different Google habits than you.
