Right, you go ahead and continue "believing" the shape of the universe of the week story and that abiogenesis happened from a bunch of random proteins riding on a bunch of rock crystals being pushed around by water currents which somehow became complex DNA and then some something happened and we ended up with with a cell with nuclear DNA surrounded by a cell membrane and those cells somehow survived without a mitochondria to regulate cell metabolism and by some random events those cells swallowed a bacteria and this did not kill the cell and it somehow was turned into a mitochondria which would in turn split with the nuclear DNA to form new cells. Yup, all of those random events just happened somehow over millions of years if you believe their story. Their story is full of "something something" all over the place.

Apparently you don't understand the difference between legality and moral legitimacy. Once could say that main players in the meltdown of the mortgage market got away virtually scot-free and yet many of us would say that they lost moral legitimacy in our eyes.

You say FUCK the inventor of Javascript and you have the nerve to talk about hate? You are the hater.

Alan Turing did not invent computers but he did make considerable contributions to the development of computers. I have no problem with individual gay people. I have a problem with hateful people like you regardless of your sexuality. Simply disagreeing with you does not equate to hating you. Your happiness is in your hands. All that it requires is for you to chose to be happy. Stop blaming others for your misery.

And? You have been able to do a screenshot on the iPhone/iPod Touch since version 1.0 using the power button + home button.

Again you are spewing forth nonsense. Show me where it is written in the first amendment where it states that individuals cannot pray in schools or pray at work or pray anywhere however they choose whether that be silent or allowed? Where is in written that people are not allowed to assemble to worship? Where are these restrictions that you would impose on others written into the first amendment.

The first amendment only places a restriction on the government and not on citizens. Rather, it prohibits the government from restricting freedom of religion. Nowhere is the freedom from religion enshrined. You are free to NOT express your freedom of religion but not to prevent others from expressing their right.

Sorry but you are being hypocritical. Tim Cook should use his own money and time to promote whatever he wishes as a private citizen. That is a different story than using a company to promote a social aim without the consent of the owners of the company.

You are equal under the law as a human male or female. Your sexuality is irrelevant. Obviously we will never agree on this. I do not consider marriage a right. I consider it a contract where you give up individual rights in exchange for certain privileges and it carries with it specific responsibilities towards the other spouse.

I seem marriage is the glue that holds society together. It is not an amusement ride for crying out loud. It was defined by gender/sex and not sexual preference. It is not like you are denied the right to associate with who you wish or any other individual right. Is it a violation of rights that men cannot give birth to babies? No, it is just not in their nature. In the same way, your gender defines who you can marry. Sorry but that is reality.

Pot kettle black. You think that you have a right to express your opinion but anyone who thinks differently is not expressing their opinion? Is that what you are saying? You might want to google "which nazi was gay". It might shock you. There is no evidence that Adolf Hitler ever had a relationship with a woman.

Why should he be forced to to any of that?

Should you be forced to vote for a different party than your choice?

Right here. I uninstalled Firefox.

Sorry but this reaction/capitulation is what hurt the brand with us "normals". His donations are his own business.

I uninstalled Firefox because of their spineless apology for this issue which should be an non-issue and Eich did nothing wrong. He was acting as a private citizen in 2008 and it's 2014 right now.

I don't give a rats ass what the people down there think. The people OUTSIDE of their bubble are the ones that pay their employers who in turn pay their pay checks. We are the majority, not them. This guy never said anything. He donated some of his own money back in 2008 and has made no statements since. He never used his influence as CEO to hinder the rights of anyone. So again, what does his donation have to do with anything right now? This was a witch hunt by someone in the company who was pissed about a completely unrelated issue. They thought that their problem was more important than the health of their company. He probably did the right thing stepping down but the company did the wrong thing. They should have remained neutral and found the rat bastard who ratted him out and fired them too just to be fair. I think he should be invited back. Consider that he invented Javascript. What have those gays done lately?

I think that anyone who believes in freedom of speech and freedom of conscience, regardless of how you feel about gay rights should send feedback to the Mozilla community right before uninstalling Firefox.

Let's see how they feel when their browser marketshare tanks.

What did he have to apologize for? He did nothing wrong. He used his own personal funds to support something that the majority of voters in California also supported. He never used his position to speak on or promote or influence the outcome of that vote and never brought up the issue since his donation.

This was a political correctness witch hunt. He was attacked for his personal beliefs and for what he used his personal funds to support.

Sleep with whomever you want but your piece of paper will not give you legitimacy. You are free to be happy but that requires a choice that only you can make. Happiness is a choice. No law is going to make you happy. People that you think hate you don't actually hate you. They hate people like you trying to change the definition of "normal". Be as gay as you want to be but don't trying to force everyone else to think of you as "normal". You will always be "queer" to them regardless of how many laws you get passed or lawsuits you win. Legitimacy is bestowed by society. It cannot be forced upon society by bullies like you.

Eich invented Javascript. What did you do?

I suggest that you stop using Javascript and all pages with Javascript on it including Slashdot.

You must stop using Javascript or you will be labels as fascists, heterophobes and hypocrites. After all, the man you demonized invented Javascript. He probably contributed more to the internet that you know and love than any living gay person or gay rights supporter. So if you are truly principled and not just a bunch of blind hypocrites and bigots, you all need to get off the javascript enabled internet immediately.

PS. Don't let the door hit you on your pompous asses as you leave.
