Yes. As restored species they would be protected by man and then have a shot at continued existence in the event humans die off or evolve passed the necessity for a biosphere.

Your logic seems to be that it's unethical to bring them into a world that they can't survive in. But they all endured the waxing and waning of ice ages before that. The current thinking is that either humans or some sudden climate catastrophe caused the Holocene megafaunal extinctions, and not an inability to adapt to post ice age climate conditions. The only thing that seems to be preventing most of these species from thriving today is humans themselves.

There is no convincing controversy. Your ideas are "fringe" science that nobody takes seriously. It's not a conspiracy to keep theists down. It's just that your arguments are not convincing.

Eh? Teaching evolution in a *science* class is now controlling other people's thoughts? The whole reason this is an issue is because hardcore theists want to prevent it from being taught because they think it conflicts with one cultures interpretation of a creation story. Is that not attempting to control people's thoughts?

We used to say the same thing about people with cell phones...until everyone could afford them.

Which means, no cell phones. No bar owner would dare post that.

When I was a kid, I coded for fun. I met a lot of guys in highschool who did this too. In college, I met even more. How many women have I meet who coded for fun since they were kids? Zero. That's telling. I think a lot of people here will say the same thing. You say there are barriers...what barriers are there preventing girls from downloading a compiler and googling some "learn to code" websites?

He implied that illegal immigrants are NOT taking STEM jobs....not that they can't do them. Jesus....some people just see racism everywhere.

Why oh why do people lend these arguments any credence? Change is not automatically awesome because it's "change". Unity is a shitty UI...just like Win8. They changed with the menu's so it's more difficult to find and launch applications. So now making things harder is good change? And it's also somehow related to my political beliefs? Why was this post even modded up? It's ridiculous.

I thought it was the infra-red filter that prevented you from seeing through bathing suits.

They might not be so evil at present. But what happens years down the road when they decide to be evil? They'll have this enormous treasure trove of data, and widespread control of information infrastructure. You know it's inevitable, right? They will not have this anti-evil philosophy forever...and in the meantime they chum the water...we eat happily...they begin pulling the net in around us.

* or, what if they disable your entire game library because you visited a blacklisted website.

Is it not compiled as soon it browser receives it?

Why would you be dynamically loading new code in the middle of a game loop anyway? You would have know this causes issues when you designed the application and would have loaded it all up prior to executing the loop.

This is one of the problems with Christianity in America. You seem to think atheism is some kind of powerful growing cult opposed to Christianity. Atheists are not organizing against anyone. You guys blow these Festivus Pole next to your Nativity incidents way out of proportion. They get publicized by the national media because you guys love that stuff .... you like the idea of being a persecuted minority. In reality, there is a very small politically active atheist scene, almost nonexistent. It's probably smaller than the Occupy movement. Most atheists don't care about religion as long as you're not creating religious laws or imposing religious education.

Oh please. Really? The only ammunition atheists have against the American Christian political juggernaut, is the First Amendment...created by the same people who apparently designed this to be "on nation, under God".
