>Here's a simple thought experiment: If Evolution is false, what created swine flu? The only other possible explanation is that God is a dick, and I don't believe that. Actually if you are referring to the biblical God, how can you not believe that he is an enormous dick. What do you call and entity that destroys everything on earth, sans one couple of each species? What do you call an entity that turns a woman into a pillar of salt for looking back at the city where she lived as it is being destroyed? What do you call an entity that punishes a rapist by requiring that he pay the father to marry the victim. I call him God.

Submission + - EMI removes DRM from parts of catalog

An anonymous reader writes: Ars Technica is reporting that EMI will announce on Monday that it will be freeing much of its catalog from the shackles of DRM. The Wall Street Journal, citing "people familiar with the matter," reports (sub. required) that Apple CEO Steve Jobs will be present at the announcement in London and that the music will be sold through the iTunes Store and possibly other online outlets. n early February rumblings were heard that EMI was thinking about ditching DRM, but EMI was unable to entice the likes of Apple, Microsoft, and others. As it turned out, EMI wanted a considerable advance payment to offset what it perceived as a "risk": selling DRM-free music online. EMI's position was simple: if they sell music without DRM, then users will find trading it that much easier.
