"how can the immaculate conception have occurred..."
let me help you. You meant the virgin birth. The Immaculate Conception, in Catholic terminology, was a different event entirely.
The same set of stories, Catholic standard issue, relies on Jesus having said to Peter, "Upon this rock I will build my church." (Matthew 16:18 -- is this among the entries you say were slotted in? Just curious, if you can be bothered, since you brought it up.
It doesn't work that way. The Firefox "Master Password" just protects the vault of saved passwords. The saved passwords still appear automatically (without entering a master pw) on any site where you have OK'd the saving of a pw.
Might we suppose that your email address is not just a clear name or dictionary words, but rather includes some combination of numbers? If so it's likely that someone with a similar email address meant to type in theirs and entered yours by mistake. I'd say your actions in changing the password then closing the account were still reasonable, but the intermediate thing about changing the name with a shouted admonition seems silly. They're not really all out to get you.
On the other hand, since I see your post was moderated "Funny" it could be that it was a put-on and you were just out to get me.
All the prices seem to include the hardware at 249 GBP, so it's £110, around $220 for the XP Pro delta. The point, though, is the vendor offering a range of options including no OS -- which is terrific.
An article in the NY Times includes this diagram indicating that the advantage was given by, first of all, making him taller than he would have been and lengthening his stride. Then, in the push-off, advantage goes to the runner without prosthetics, who has the use of calf and ankle muscles. Then in the mid-stance phase (5 in the graphic), the hips of the runner with prosthetic are required to generate almost twice the energy of the "able-bodied" runner. Then in the next phase the energy return from the carbon foot is "only 80%."
The IAAF ruling was based on the mechanical advantage of the ankle alone, a 30% mechanical advantage on that part, without putting the other offsetting disadvantages into the equation. If that aspect can be measured with such precision, how about the other parts of what it takes to run a race of a certain length? Every bit of it should be subject to measurement in terms of calories expended or some pertinent factor. I'm not suggesting it would be a simple calculation, but we should be able to figure these things out. It might get a little tricky with an above-knee amputee, deciding whether to allow computer-controlled knees with servos and hydraulic regulators and whatever-all goes into making them work. Where would I draw the line? Wheelchairs.
A prosthetic should be allowed if it is tuned and certified as energy-neutral.
corporate mentality takeover after the buyout Yeah, like "What can we do to make sure the Feds approve our buyout of that guy whatzisname's rocket factory? Hey I know, let's blow something up!"

You didn't finish reading his post.
Yeah, the part where he said, "But any modern city requires these things..." which means, These things are necessary infrastructure.
