Answers in Genesis blames Evolution for shootings

"Finland School Shootings: The Sad Evolution Connection"

I'll pause to let you observe that heading for a second. This is the latest attack on evolution - AnswersInGenesis.org have asserted that Pekka-Eric Auvinen was not out of his mind, he was simply a Social Darwinist. Out of respect for the dead, I'm surprised they even tread near this topic, shamelessly using a tragedy to attempt to give evolution a bad name. Could it ever be possible for both sides of this so-called debate to stop reasoning based on the heinous acts of historical figures, or even modern day people, who have simply got it wrong? Even if the inquisition was in the name of Christianity, or if Hitler was an atheist, they're both completely irrelevant. I'm no Christian myself, but I at least recognise that those who do believe in a god mostly have the best in mind, and do have sound moral principles. Similarly, atheists don't feel empty inside, or lacking something. But this is an entirely seperate discussion; the point is, if religion or atheism should be criticised, it should be on the basis on whether it is rational - or not - to believe in an all powerful entity.

Writing your first mod for Counter Strike Source

Starting projects for anything new can be fairly daunting - but if you're a fan of Valve's Source games, you can be writing addons for their games within a week. Mattie's Eventscripts makes writing server addons a breeze - and if you want to see the kind of things you can create, look no further than my post on CS Source Mods.

Eventscripts actually comes with two languages built in - I've chosen to write about Python because in my opinion it's both easier and more readable than the inbuilt shell language - and if you're coming to it without knowing either, you might as well begin with it. If you already have experiences with interpreted languages, you'll find Python infinitely easier to follow anyway - plus it's magnitudes faster than the built in language, and has more power.

Get into coding in 8 steps

If you've ever wanted to learn to write code, with no prior experience, now is the best time to do it. There are so many simple languages that are possible to learn from the ground up, picking up the basics of programming languages along the way, and improving your code as you learn new techniques. If you've ever wanted to write code to achieve something simple without downloading a program to do it, now's your chance.

In order to give the best examples I can, I'll be referencing Python and PHP - they're both simple and powerful, and they're how I initially started coding.

Ayreon - 01011001

I can honestly say that I have never looked forwards to an album as much as this. It's Ayreon's 7th album, and the 5th instalment of the story that began with The Final Experiment. Ayreon, a project of Arjen Lucassen, have an unorthodox and experimental musical style. Their albums are Rock Operas incorporating numerous genres, including progressive rock, metal, folk, classical and electronica.
