Comment on Epson printers rock by Jan Dembowski

That might be the case but I have a feeling the ink formula was updated.

My prints look gorgeous. I had planned to replace the printer once the supplies are out but now I’m not so sure.

I do understand (as much as I can) what people get upset about. I just think it’s absurd to think that people can document God without leaving room for interpretation. People are fallible.

When scientists publish their findings, some people go nuts. Take the theory of evolution as an example. It is an attempt to explain something through observation. It’s not a “the bible is wrong” statement, it’s a theory. And yet people go bats talking about it and blame a scientific premise on all the evil in the world.

That’s just plain ignorant and many of the people raising this as a problem do know better. That doesn’t mean people can’t use science to justify their own warped views. But those people count as nuts too.

Heh, “Publishing results that put these commonly-held beliefs”

should read… Publishing results that contradict these commonly-held beliefs…

Many scientific experiments/studies yield results that contradict generally-accepted interpretations of the Bible. This leads [religious] people to believe that scientists are purposely looking for a way to disprove the existence of God with their experiments.

Publishing results that put these commonly-held beliefs (e.g., the belief in a “young earth” that has always contained all the species that are alive today) is often viewed as a direct challenge to God. This is not true. It is really a challenge to someone’s interpretation of the Bible (for the Bible does not list the age of the Earth/universe).

I am not religious (I have not been to church since I moved out of my parents’ house), but I’m just explaining the viewpoint of someone who would make that asinine statement.

Lloyd,

Thanks for the tip! I just tried it, it munged the URL sent to Twitter. Since I posted this, as I expected several Twitter button plugins came out.

I still switch between this and the Tweetmeme button, but my blog is my own little science project and prone to breaking in little ways.

You may want to urlencode(get_permalink()) , I have not tested.

Anjan,

The changes Oliver discussed were for after the multi-site check was disabled.

You still need to comment out the checks from lines 53 to 58 at the top of this blog post.
