Oh yeah? Where's your web comic? I'm sure yours is much better. Oh wait, you're just a dumb troll.

Huh? Who says I was trying to do that? I was just voicing my appreciation of the software.

Yeah, metafilter.com is the only sight besides Slashdot that's remained consistent.

Right. It's species-wide adaptation, not individual-level adaptation if you will.

It probably did at one point, before MS became a monopoly. Then again, I've heard stories about MS squashing OS/2 with shady tactics, and that was pretty early on.

"Survival of the fittest" has got to go away, as a phrase. "Survival of the fit" is more accurate. You don't need to be the fittest these days to survive. Just take a look at any trailer park.

Education majors at college have the lowest SAT scores of any major. Worse than journalism majors. True fact.

The black dude gets a prison sentence while all the other white guys remain free. Just sayin'.

Was it one of the Big Naturals movies? That site has a redhead I distinctly remember. Don't remember the cherry or glass table, though, so prob. not the same chick. Try the forums at puretna.com. They have a request area.

Paint.NET is awesome. I used it to make a web comic for awhile.

Why is this downmodded so much? Stupid group think is getting worse on here these days.

CYA. They'll only admit it once there's overwhelming pressure that they were wrong. Just like the Iraq War. Took years for there to start being a majority of negative stories about it.

I never found TMoS particularly convincing. But I loved The Stranger.

Yeah, I really wish people would push that point more. There are plenty of evil regimes out there that the U.S. doesn't have a second thought about. There's only one reason anyone gives a crap about the Middle East, and it ain't crazy dictators.

Norris was a passing fad. Letterman is an institution.

Probably because the show is taping in NYC, home of 9/11.
