Considering the Italian location, I would call it: Bugatti Electra.

(Yes, I know the difference between Greek and Latin :D )
However the name giver would be this Electra: http://www.theoi.com/Nymphe/Ny...

Perhaps if the God you refer to is Tyche.

i'd say nessus, just to make it even more confusing.

Just to muddy the waters some more.

You act like money didn't control everything from the beginning.

That's how it's been since the very introduction of money and an economic system based around the collection of as much as money possible, and will be until it's eventual abolition.

I disagree. The ancient Greeks invented what we know as money, money as a universal medium of exchange. At the same time however, the ancient Greeks developed a culture that expressed deep ambivalence about greed and money and its influence on people. In the myth of Erysikhthon, the king is cursed with insatiable hunger that causes him to consume everything around him. In the end, he ends up consuming his own flesh. The myth of Midas is also an obvious example. In Sophocles' writings, money "creates friends, honours, tyranny, and physical beauty"; money is said to "destroy cities, drive men from their homes, transform good men into evil-doers, and to cause men to know every type of impiety". And yet it was also obvious to the ancient Greeks that money increased their standard of living.

There is a difference between a society that worships money and its accumulation, versus a society that remains wary of money but that also uses it as a means to improve material well being. In the last 30 to 40 years, we have clearly moved from the latter and towards the former. Just because we use money doesn't mean we must worship it.

Zeus turns both into stone.

ummm....

This is a google cache of talkorgins.org showing the porn spam links.

However, I checked on deepx.com and it is *not* a porn site.

From DeepX.com's about page:

XML provides an open and flexible language for the creation, management and exchange of electronic content. Founded in 2000, deepX has an experienced team of consultants and developers, who specialise in the design and development of solutions using XML and the emerging technologies related to XML.

Also, another link shows www.theoi.com and it is *not* a porn site, either:

Here's how THEOI used to look via the Wayback machine.

Theoi.com has been banned by Google (no reason given) and forced to close down as a result. There are no plans to re-establish this site in the future.

wu.edu.gh is Valley View University is a Seventh Day Adventist college in Ghana.

Both deepx.com and wu.edu.gh redirect to porn sites.

Unsurprisingly, wu.edu.gh, theoi.com and deepx.com have been de-indexed by google.

I speculate that all these sites that have been de-indexed were tagged by automated processes.

"exposing creationist pseudoscience"

What a stupid load of rubbish. Does the nitwit who wrote this actually know what "creationist pseudoscience" is? Oh, the broad-brush dismissal of all who disagree with the priesthood of Darwin.

You want to see what these guys had on their website?"

animal porn, animal sex, beastiality, rape sex, sleeping sex, animal porn, beastiality, dog porn, horse porn, rape sex, sleeping sex, animal porn, animal sex, beastiality, dvd covers, dvd ripper, psp downloads, psp games, psp movies

Now I realise that these hard-core atheists have no logical right to claim that real rights and wrong actually exist, and animals -- which is what they believe we are -- play all these sex games, so their worldview ***should*** find nothing wrong with this stuff. Don't agree with me? Ok...

If there are rights and wrongs, if there are absolute moral values, then there must exist a moral law.

If there is a moral law, there must be a moral law giver.

That moral law giver is of course God who will judge this world and all sin and filth like this.

You're not disagreeing with me are you? You're not going to tell me I'm wrong and you are right are you? You aren't going to push your morality onto me are you? You're not going to try and convert me to your way of thinking are you? You aren't considering evangelizing me with your atheistic philosophy are you?

I enjoy slashdot, usually, but the rabid religion-hating mobs that pool their ignorance really ruin it at time imo. These Darwinian fundies ought to try actually reading some of the opposition materials before they make broad sweeping statements that make them look like fools -- at least to those outside the Darwinian priesthood.

5. It doesn't use a famous trademark (at least they didn't name it Nike)

Just picking nits here, but I would remind everyone that Nike didn't come up with that name on their own, Athena's been using it for just a little while longer.

I doubt that even if they *HAD* called it "Nike", Nike would have been able to do anything about it unless the Mozilla Nike project was also about manufacturing and selling tennis shoes. After all, Nike, Inc. aren't the only ones to use the name of the popular Greek goddess for their company or organizations -- the US government even used it for a ground-to air missle program.

This whole discussion is giving me a hankerin' to go try and DL some old FireFox roms for my atari emulator.
