Nae true Scotsman uses proprietary software!

That guy is always amazing to watch, he sounds super-enthusiastic about everything he does.

Hardware vendors, not carriers. That's the one thing Apple did right - cut one useless middleman out of the loop, the carriers. It's the carriers' modifications and general dickery that delays or prevents updates even further.

Re: teaching children religion, I like to think of it this way: Ethics classes aren't taught by rapists, (most) children don't get introduced to drugs by delirious addicts, and people's first contact with religion shouldn't be a religious person.

How thick are you? Evolution and creationism directly contradict each other, they are mutually exclusive - which is to say, only one of them can be true. "Agree to disagree" is absurd - it's impossible for two rational agents to disagree over a matter of fact.
If someone considers mathematics and writing the work of the devil, should they be allowed to bring their children up without teaching them how to count, read or write?

You are the reason people want to restrict breeding rights.

Yeah, how about drinking water instead of concentrated weapons-grade diabeetus juice? Why does government have to take responsibility for people who refuse to take personal responsibility? If you want to replace your blood with a mix of HFCS and cholesterole, I couldn't care any less until you expect me to pay your fucking health bill. Banning disgusting fast "food" and slimy drinks these people use won't do it, and neither will legislating 2 hours on the treadmill daily. But I guess a populist legislative response is easier than actually having people take responsibility for once in their lives.

The Dragon isn't capable of docking, it has to be grappled by the station's robotic arm and berthed to a common berthing port. It is scheduled to receive an upgrade that enables it to use docking ports in the future, but on this flight, it's berthing, not docking.

Well, the difference is NTR only spreads deadly radiation over thousands of square kilometres if something goes horribly wrong, whereas Orion does it regardless of the outcome.

The groundless assumption that since neither extreme can be true, the truth must be precisely in the middle.

Seriously, how dumb are these people? By know, I'd expect strong encryption (ie, AES, via Truecrypt or similar software) to be mainstream enough for even Pakistani cave-dvellers to know about. Why bother with an obviously inferior means of encryption?

#apt-get install gnome-panel
Logout, chose fallback session (or whatever it's called). Was that so hard?
