It's not the correct use for that particular sentence, and that's what I had a problem with. But I could just be splitting hairs, here.

Survival based on traits that were randomly mutated is adaptation.
No it's not.
Thats what happens when you're got ~3 billion years of evolution (or 6000 years of creation, if you're moderately retarded)
Pfffft. It was 6 days of creation, you ignorant clod!

Wrong. Nothing adapts. What you see is what survived based on traits that were randomly mutated.
We the ppl control the government. We get to elect our representatives, or use direct methods such as referendums.
That's what they'd like you to think. Dictators love elections.
It doesn't matter who's in control. If they get too powerful, it's time to think twice about the situation. And guess where we're at now?
They've been trying to add romantic interest since the 2005 reboot. Look at Rose. And Amy. And River. And...
Bah. Rose was the only one with a continual and clear vibe of that. Amy only gave that vibe at the beginning of her reign. Amy and Rory together as Doctor companions I thought was refreshing, and it took away most of what some would call sexual tension between Amy and the Doctor (could you blame him anyway? Ow!). You also had Martha, who I didn't get much of that vibe from (she seemed more interested in the discovery and adventure), and then you have Donna, who gave him constant servings of his own shit. That and the total lack of interest between Donna and the Doctor is why the Doctor liked her so much as a companion.
Guessing he's a vegan with an agenda. Probably make a good study case for a paper on meatless diets increasing bad decision making.
I mean really, they already made the huge mistake of giving up tasty animal flesh, someone should study what other bad decisions vegans make.
Well, eating too much meat can constipate you. Then you go off to the john and spend a lot of time in there, which makes people think you don't want to spend time with them.
Similarly, eating too much fiber (aka - fruit) can give you a bad case of the runs, and the end result is the same.
That's the most politely-worded and voluminous "Fuck you, you're on your own" I've ever read.
Yes, it doesn't take long reading through their "responses" to learn it's nothing but a giant PR stunt set out to make it look like they're in touch with the people.
The fact that so many people are excusing this confirms to me my suspicion that this sort of behaviour is widespread in the Linux "community". And it makes me glad I'm not part of it.
Funnily enough when people pay for software they have more respect for it and the developers.
Based on what evidence exactly?
Listen, just because it's free doesn't mean we can't voice an opinion. That argument is just as bad as saying "If you have nothing to hide, then surely you won't mind the cops rummaging through your stuff for no reason." There's nothing wrong with saying we don't like it.
No, but there's everything wrong with abusing the people who are giving you the free stuff. It's the not so fine line between giving constructive criticism and being an ungrateful asshole.
Touche.
I will grant that when you get 6 inches of snow in Minnesota, it's not going anywhere until Februrary or March
Or in the case of this year June. The snow pile at the end of the parking ramp here at my work took until June 3rd to finally melt.
Late northern region snow melts was actually part of the problem with the Missouri River flooding, or am I wrong?
