perhaps.
and don't call me Shirley
this.
there was an article on Tom's Hardware about that. basically, the core configuration is not that bad -- but the upgrades (at the time of configuration) are marked up too high.
are you kidding me? the only "punishment" that might occur is through military action.
and that would be a bad idea.
as someone who recently gave Opera another go, i can see why.
i would appear that i've been missing out
maybe. there has to be a happy medium somehow.
look, i like Slashdot, but occasionally wonder if the anon feature is even worth it anymore.
i see this fucking troll at the top of thread after thread and i'm just sick of it.
Not really, we can let philosophy ask the "why" questions.
The sooner religion fades away, the better we will be as a species for it.
listen dude, you're barking up the wrong tree here.
i know you feel it's your christian duty to talk and "witness" to people about god.
but god, and the concept of god (of the Abrahamic religions) has no place in a modern society.
the collected and politically-voted upon stories of desert nomads are no longer relevant.
thanks.
it's not about being right or wrong, it's about the churches losing more and more people who are realizing that this religion stuff is nothing more than control.
so the churches fight back by trying to introduce this stuff into schools.
read about the "wedge document" and see what i mean. it is not now, nor was it ever about scientific anything -- it is religious psyops designed to confuse and mislead the public about science in order to win sheep back to the fold.
i don't know why this was modded down.
hyperbole it may or may not be -- but these are the idiots who are ok with science as long as it helps them.
for the IDers, it's not about science, or even being right -- it's about control. it's about establishment of their fundamentalist religious views in the classroom. they are facing the continued irrelevance of their religion, and this is their response. if they can't get people to come to church and believe as they do, then they'll try to force it in school.
this is why it's a big deal, not because of a who is right or wrong -- rather that they want to force this sort of indoctrination of children.
anyone who thinks that scientists fighting this are doing so to protect "Darwinism" with the same fervor as the fundamentalists they oppose fails to see the long-term ramifications of anti-intellectualism and anti-science attitudes.
it has. it's the fundie protestants that are making all the noise.

..like audio software and soft synths.
Ableton Live will support multiple chips/cores, so I want something that will really make short work of those VSTs that are currently beating my CPU like a redheaded stepchild.
Any ideas?
