Please feel free to point out where I said we should only teach creationism and no other origin stories? I'm all for teaching them all, in the right course/context. It's too bad the audience here on Slashdot would rather jump to their own conclusions based on poor assumptions, attacking those who they don't agree with, rather than engaging in a reasonable discussion.

All I advocate is that we teach evolution in a science context and creationism in a spiritual/religious context. I don't see why that's an issue for so many people. No one is forcing you to believe what creationism teaches, nor is anyone forcing you to take the courses that teach it. It should be available as an option for those that do want to learn about it. The science side trying to silence the religion side is just as bad as the religion side trying to silence the science side.

What you and several other people here fail to grasp is that I never said to teach it in science class. There are other classes far more suitable. If we teach evolution in science, creationism/other origin stories in the suitable class and people can decide to believe in the science or believe in mythology, that's there choice and has no bearing on what you or I do.

Or we could, you know, present both possibilities and let people decide from themselves instead of trying to force one theory or the other down someone's throat. I'd imagine, when presented with the facts, most people would look to science for the answer in this debate, but I don't see the need to force one argument or the other.

Submission + - Apple Complains Samsung's Wireless Patents Limit Competition (huffingtonpost.com) 3

mat.power writes: After all the various court battles launched by Apple over protecting their own patents, including silly design patents like rounded corners, Apple complains about Samsung's own patents which leads to an anti-trust investigation by the Korean Fair Trade Commission.

From the article: "We are reviewing whether allegations in the complaint lodged by Apple are true," said a Fair Trade Commission official, who declined to be named because they weren't authorized to speak to the press. "Apple filed a complaint earlier this year that Samsung is breaching fair trade laws," the official said.

I used to do at minimum 2 hours each way driving across Toronto. Two hours was when conditions were perfect and there was only one or two accidents to slow it down. Anything worse and it easily jumped to 2.5-3 hours. In medium-heavy snowfall 4 hours+ was common. I took a job in Ottawa and now it takes me 5 minutes as well. It's an incredible difference. Well most mornings at least, today traffic was particularly awful because of this: http://www.ottawacitizen.com/News/Ottawa/Sinkhole+swallows+closes+eastbound+Highway/7189052/story.html Next job I'm hoping to live within walking distance! We'll see though.
