It's not a matter of evolution being true or not. Evolution is simply the scientific theory that explains the phenomena best, so far. There probably isn't any such thing as a universal truth, but it doesn't matter to science.

Creationism not only doesn't explain the phenomena best (since it fails Occam's Razor) but it doesn't follow scientific method and therefore is not a scientific theory. Therefore it cannot be taught as science, QED.

Also, there are lots of religious people that don't believe God created life, even Christians for whom the creation myth is a metaphor.

However the Google pages that get returned by all UK ISPs are in the UK, because those ISPs use DNS hijacking to return their own servers' IP addresses (with a nice Google skin) whenever UK citizens ask for Google, and those servers are in the UK.

As to why they do it, something to do with complying with UK censorship legislation.

The killing people with a car touches a nerve.

In the UK you can just run over a pedestrian and kill them and it's treated much more leniently than armed robbery even if you killed nobody.

Now you'll get life imprisonment for hacking GreedCo's computer and showing that they paid the CEO more in a day than all the lowest ranked employees put together earned in a year.

Actual humans? Meh. But some fat cat's profits? They must be protected at all costs.

This is basically what the ancient Germanic peoples had as well, at least as recently as the Anglo-Saxons. Tolkien used it as the basis for his Elvish calendar.

12 months of 30 days each, 2 extra days for midwinter (Yule) and three or four extra days at midsummer (Litha).

SSH for text editing is an ugly hack to work around the fact that we still can't do file sharing well.

Many of the files I edit via SSH are configuration files in /etc, or relatively large generated files (output files). For the first case I would not want to share /etc with other hosts. For the second I would not want to have to transfer a large amount of data between hosts when it is unnecessary (and probably slow) to do so. For clarification, I could use a pager to view the second case files since I will not typically modify them, but the syntax highlighting is useful in that case.

I wonder whose requirements this targets.

My own requirements are:

• split second loading, saving, editing and searching of large text files
• can log into any host via SSH and just use it
• (nice to have) syntax highlighting and smart indenting

Therefore: vi or vim. Virtually no other editor even comes close with respect to point 2.
