"The origin of life, or the origin of stuff in general, has nothing to do with science. Science is an observable, experimental, and recreatable practice. To believe in either evolution or creation is to hold to a philosophy"
What does evolution have to do with any of that?
Until you figure out the difference between science and religion (or even evolution and abiogenesis), you have zero credibility.
Clearly GOD moved the point mass. What, do you think he would just appear to you and do it? Of course he's invisible!
In fact, anytime I come across anything I can't explain from here on out, my answer is going to be, "God did it." I mean, why go through all the trouble of actually trying to think?
God bless people who think Acrobat's "make this teh ultra-secret hidden omfg" feature actually does something useful. I can't wait until the government starts sending out FOIA request docs in.pdf format.
Although to be pedantic...aren't these kinds of legal documents considered wholly public information anyway, or is that only for certain types of lawsuits and not indictments?
There's a reason I'm snotty, sarcastic, and post flamebait. It's called "what the software does is go to the spammer's sites and fill in forms with bogus information, as is adequately explained in the fucking article you couldn't be bothered to read."
"Seems to me that if I were interested in these type of things I would be reading, like, Salon, or something?"
I really hated it when the Slashdot Mafia broke into my house, put one of those Clockwork Orange eye-opener doodads on my head, and forced me to read the article. The worst part was when they raped me with hot grits, though.
I filter by MAC for my internal network and by a single IP so I can get to it from work if I need to. It's not a perfect solution, but the script kiddies are shit out of luck.
Because the American consumer doesn't throw out nearly enough.

"Isn't it funny how I've only ever heard white people use this argument."
I don't know, is it?
Regardless of who makes the argument (and you're making very large assumptions about people you can't see online, although statistically it's a good guess), the argument stands or falls on its own merits. Were you going to debate it on its own terms or are you just trying your hand at trolling?
"That's idiotically simplistic - ownership doesn't give you the right to make up any rules you like. Or do you think Disney should be allowed to refuse entry to Black, Jews, etc?"
I don't know about the person you're responding to, but that sounds reasonable to me.
Business owners free to be as idiotically bigoted as they want to be, and consumers free to give their money to companies that don't suck. It's better than the sort of concealed racism we have now.
At any rate, it's not as though this is the last straw for me where Disney's concerned. They sucked long before this situation ever saw light. I'm proud of the fact that my toddler does not recognize Mickey Mouse or any other Disney character.

FACT: "Macro-evolution" is a term that has no meaning, except that it's exactly the same as regular evolution on a longer timescale.
FACT: Evolution isn't abiogenesis, nor does it have anything to do with it, so go beat that fucking straw man elsewhere.
FACT: You are an idiot.
Bush is a fucking retard, and so are the creationists. Why is this even being debated?
Didn't work.
And if you reply, please leave a few blank lines ahead of your text.
S'CO!
"what does this say about everything else they have been telling us"
Nothing. Space is big.
"Ice lake" could mean anything. The article mentions water ice specifically.
No chance of making decent counterfeits with them, either. I'll pass.

Well cheer up; you'll get to see it a third time in a couple of days.

"requries install of thier software - not sure what it does"
Read the fucking article?
Why does someone who calls himself "Windozesux" give a flying shit where IE7 will run?
Mod parent way up.
Politicians are more than capable of making themselves look bad. There's no need for us to make misleading statements about them.
Nope. You're the very first. Congratulations!
"Man, I'm lost in this logic."
It's easy. "Tu quoque" is never a valid defense.
Now, if you want to argue hypocrisy on Microsoft's part, be my guest.

They don't ask because they don't want to get sued for copyright infringement.

I submit that Mr. Tucker is a fucking moron.
