Typical hypocrisy. Quit trying to force your opinions on everyone else, why can't we just get along? You...

Re: Wonder how ID supporters deal with poor design...
Do you even know what the theory of Intelligent Design is? As a hint, it's not the same thing as a fundamentalist interpretation of the Bible. Maybe you should rephrase your bait, although I doubt anyone that it applies to will ever see your message. It's like you're trying to insult Jews by bashin...

Re: Wonder how ID supporters deal with poor design...
So this morning I'm reading the species of a newly named Mosasaur ( Dallasaurus turneri ) This is an intergrade species between the terrestrial Mosasaurs and the later Mosasaurs with flippers. This species has very small limbs (next to useless for land propulsion or aquatic propulsion). I wonder ho...

What would one recommend in the AGP realm that doesn't cost $500 and performs fairly decently? I have a ATI 9800Pro at the moment but it's kinda pokey at 1920x1200.

I dunno, I don't see why we wouldn't want to do this. Minimal environmental impact using current technologies (plus it's a tundra - that means cold desolate wasteland).

If this wasn't such a pure democracy (where anyone that can breathe can vote) I'd advocate as many terms as you can win.

Eugenics and the foundation of abortion
Apart from the evidence of eugenicist influence contained in the Roe decision itself, one of the clearest links between the eugenics movement and U.S. abortion policy is visible in the American Eugenics Society's 1956 membership records, which reveal that its members included a Planned Parenthood f...
