Comment Re:Please please, PLEASE! Come to Texas all 50 tim (Score 1) 170

They said, "God would be providing such natural pressures." -- I said, "Eureka! So, you agree -- Evolution exists, and may be the very tool your God used to make the variety of species, and that He was smart enough to give his creatures adaptability so they could survive environmental changes!"

That is kinda the idea behind I.D. If all the variants for survival are already in the species' genetic coding they would adapt to their surroundings to survive based on what they're eating, what sort of terrain they have to deal with, what climate it is, etc. and the offspring eventually take on those qualities. It's like breeding dogs and cats for their specific traits or growing crops to gain a different flavor or quality to them. It's not like saying a frog will evolve into a bird or something.

I believe the main complaint the fundamentalists have is that evolution teaches that everything came from a theory that says the world started from a single cell that advanced its lifecycle to become more and more creatures until humans eventually came about. It is a theory, but so is I.D. according to many people as well. Better things could be done if people would stop trying to argue over where we came from or how all the different species were formed during the big bang or whichever idea is popular now.

Comment Using a Flash Cart "Cheat" function... (Score 3, Informative) 320

Generally will fix whatever anti-piracy gimmicks they impliment. The same thing was done to Chrono Trigger on the DS where when you made it to the first time warp it would repeat that scene infinitely. As soon as somebody found out the trigger for what makes it repeat that they released the cheat codes to put onto your cart and you could play the game just fine.

I personally wouldn't "give" a four year old a computer. They should learn to use one at an early age as it helps with advancing into how to properly use it, but you wouldn't want to get them into a bad habit of never getting up and going places. Myself, I didn't actually get to use computers till I was around six because a friend had a 486 with DOS running on it. We used to play some games on it, and in most cases we fooled around with ZZT to try creating our own games. Relating to the post, I would install apps and games that allow creation and modifcation of what is on screen. Such as Roller Coaster Tycoon or something like Lego Creator(because sometimes REAL Legos are just too expensive.)
