    "Even the most religious farmers understand that evolution is a fact." - i doubt that. they will still believe god makes the babies, its all "Gods Way"

    The earth will eventually become uninhabitable by humans - the sun will get hotter and make this planet so hot nothing will grow or live on the surface. Mind you, you still have a billion or so years before this happens

    if Lamarckian-looking evolution was real, we'd ALL be war mongers, slave traders, homophobes, still living in the trees etc etc. if there was real evidence they use it. Its a hypothesis with no falsifiable evidence by the Lamarckian believers.

    where do you get the idea of "suppressed evidence"?

    "Arguing with climate deniers is like arguing with Christians. Pesky facts don't matter to people KNOW they're right." - i agree with that but add TeaParty'ers and Republican Politicians to that list as they fall into both camps.

    For fucks sake... It's "Man Made ACCELERATION of Global Climate Change" and NOT "Man Made Global Climate Change"

    if people understood the difference then maybe it'll be more acceptable. The deniers ALWAYS misinterpret this either deliberately or through lack of comprehension

  14. Re:Does it mean the FAT longnames patent is dead? on How Linus Torvalds Helped Bust a Microsoft Patent · · Score: 1

    I think the scenario went " Here's the TomTom result and you have a Windows licence to protect". I also presume as they waived the TomTom scenario in front of them , they didn't have to show any more patents.

    There is probably as much retraining as there is from one Win OS to the next Win OS and from Word/Excel updates from non-ribbon to ribbon where as if you can point and click in Windows, you can point and click in any other OS..

    but i guess you are trolling judging by this piece of crap " Most likely they don't route questions about the new stuff to the help desk, and instead route them somewhere else where they are getting inundated"

  18. Water pipe lines on Ask Slashdot: How To Feed Africa? · · Score: 1

    AS they can lay pipe lines for gas and oil, why not lay pipes for water to take water away from those countries that suffer monsoon floods? The more water that pipe away as the monsoon starts the less chance there is for a damaging flood for that area, win-win.

  19. Re:WTF? on UK Man Jailed For 'Offensive Tweets' · · Score: 1

    No it doesn't. you don't yell "fire" in a crowded room for fun, he's basically been done for incitement.

    I think jail is excessive, maybe a fine and a course on racial tolerance if you are such an ignorant pig of a human being who doesn't realise we are all the same irrespective of colour.
