Perl is evil

Wednesday, November 23rd, 2005

Perl is evil. The proof of this assertion is that ”=~(’(?{’.(’],)@*@’^'-^@.^`’).’”‘.(’,.@:@}=():,:,^’^'`[+_`.^@@_^_^|’).’,$/})’) will print my name. I rest my case.

More on Cardinal Schönborn

Tuesday, November 22nd, 2005

With the latest article on Cardinal Schönborn’s thoughts on evolution and Intelligent Design,[1] I conclude that I simply cannot trust the media’s, any media’s, representation on this issue. Which is rather depressing.

What we do not know about the Sun and global warming

Monday, November 21st, 2005

Ms. Linda Moulton Howe has posted an interesting page on the sun, ice ages, and climate at Earthfiles.com.[1] I have no idea how accurate she is, but I am going to give her the benefit of the doubt because I like the ideas she is proposing. Yes, I am biased.

She offers two essentially unrelated [...]

attacking straw men

Wednesday, November 16th, 2005

So Mr. Scott Adams, of Dilbert, poked his fingers into the debate over Intelligent Design, and the Darwinists promptly proceeded to roundly attack him.[1] He proceeded to try to clarify how many of the comments proved his point exactly,[2] I think he did so less than clearly, but I do not think his lack of [...]

Healing at Lourdes

Tuesday, November 15th, 2005

Catholic News Agency is reporting that the Church has recognized a 67th miraculous healing at Lourdes.[1] I wonder what response science would have, if it looked at, this.

Rather than solve water shortages, lets just kill people

Monday, November 14th, 2005

I find it interesting that the (apparently from his blog) very liberal Richard Stallman would rather the violence done to women and the abortion(murder) of children in China as part of their one child policy[1] than work for greater investment in finding alternative water sources.[2] Given 7 ocean’s worth of salt water, how can it [...]

Middle Earth

This was rather amusing:

Free software and the Church

Friday, November 11th, 2005

I wonder if (Mr.?) Marco Fioretti has ever visited www,vatican.va.[1]

clarifying the gaim-vv record

Friday, November 11th, 2005

Today I wake up to find that Mr. Peter (Bleeter) Lawler’s dissatisfaction with Mr. Sean Egan’s decisions as they relate to bringing Gaim some voice/video(-vv) functionality has been taken public. I should not be surprised, but I rather was. The first I knew of it was this OSNews blurb[1]. That in [...]
