It will not a scientific discussion, so that's why a scientist can't do it. Maybe if the evolutionist speaker would skip directly to the bottom line of these questions (an even use complex terms), and if further explenation is necessary he could start unfolding the thread from the end to the beginning.
Hard drives cannot sustain the abuse that a disk (for example a CD or DVD) can. If you drop a hard disk from one meter it will probably not work (and it's going to cost you to take the data back). If you drop a disk from one meter, it might get a sratch. Not a problem.
NATO is paying Russian bot-herders (the media calls them "hackers") to DDoS Esthonia in order for Esthonia to ask the help of NATO. The rest of easy to think of.
There are schemes that will allow you to cope with the spam.
- one address to post on Usenet, and preferably "masked" - one address for friends/family/acquaintances [1] - a link to your website for your OSS projects - a contact form on your website
[1] You will still have a whilelist. You also tell people to place a "[tom]" on the subject if they are mailing you for the first time to ensure that the e-mail doesn't end up on spam (which rarely does). And you will configure Gmail to delete all spam messages on arrival. If there was a false positive, well, mistakes happen. It's better than not having e-mail at all.
Here is an easier way. Assuming that slash454dot270 is your master password.
Then, if you want to generate a password for the site www.youtube.com, just type this on a Linux console:
echo "slash454dot270 www.youtube.com" | md5sum for en.wikipedia.org:
echo "slash454dot270 en.wikipedia.org" | md5sum for slashdot.org:
echo "slash454dot270 slashdot.org" | md5sum
With Prefbar, you can keep Flash deactivated until you need it. I am not using Flashblock (although I will give it a try just because I hear about it a lot) but Adblock can also block Flash (I think it will block them along with all other ads).
He didn't say it's irrational to believe in the easter bunny. He said that christians say "I am a Christian" (or "as a Christian" in this case) like it's a badge of honor. But then, Christians are not the only to do this.
He also points out, something that I agree with, that saying "as a Christian" is as rational as saying "as an Santa Clausian" or "as an Easter Bunnyite". If you find believing in a god irational, then believing in the bunny and claus is also irrational.
I am sure that there will be much more robust explenations, but this my take:
The Internet is a number of computers that talk to each other around the globe. There are rules and protocols that guide this communication. Some computers are small like the one that you have on your desk, and some are poweful and big enough to fill a room.
Usually we, with our small computers, want something from the big ones. We either want to get information or store on them information. The party that begins the communication is called a client. The other party is called a server.
The Internet can be experienced in many ways. The web and e-mail is two most frequent ones, but they are not the only.
There are many reasons why a company would be interested to make information avaibale on the Internet. The most common one is projection. Some companies like Yahoo and Google have a profit of offering free services, like e-mail and web-search, because of advertising. It's not accurate but some innacuracy can save a ton of explenations (it's a famous quote)
http://tredosoft.com/IE7_standalone...by using this I am running IE7 on WinXP SP1 (while IE7 requires SP2). And IE7 seems to do OK (for the things that I use) from a CSS point of view: I have just tested fixed backgrounds on boxes, I don't see the a guilotine effect, can hover on boxes, the PNG transparency works nearly perfect (some people say it doesn't, but my mileage may vary).
Kaspersky is saying this now so that his future FUD about Linux and BSD viruses will sound more plausible. Not long ago that company tried to FUD us about the increase in Linux viruses. And it just happened that an important number of these viruses where in fact Windows viruses/malware mis-classifed as Linux ones.

Check the Tenebrae engine: http://tenebrae.sourceforge.net/ it is based on Quake1 but it's bulked up. Its graphics approach the ones of Doom3.

Yes, but you can see a historicity of his comments.
Just get a pirated version. It's a higher quality product.

Habit perhaps. They think that other people will find it funny.
all the spammers need to do is convince naive bussiness men that sending thousands of unsoliced messages will get them profit.

Even if Microsoft released pathces immediatelly, the IT departments could choose to patch whenever the feel like it.

Stop helping the retarded fools, fuck them, be one of the bad guys.

None of these are actually a question. It's an opinion with a question mark on the end.
Just a remind that you can license your code in more than one licenses. MySQL does this.

They don't seel it commercially in order to reduce the black market effect (stealing from children and selling to eBay).
Actually it gave it a slight touch of irony which made it more funy.

There is an old saying that goes like this "an early adopter is a late beta tester".
If I try to download two Linux distributions, each one weight around 4GB, I am out of bandwidth.
