I've got 50-60 Christian texts on my hard drive that have nothing to do with the pauline tradition. There's a hell of a lot more to it than just the stuff the orthodoxy decided was cannon.
Ignoring for the moment that there's no reason to accept that as truth if other parts of the bible are fake...
There might just be something to the teachings of Christ *besides* him dying and coming back to life. You know, all the things he *said*. Nor would the people who followed him have been spreading stories about him being resurrected if what the GP said is true, and the resurrection story enters into it hundreds of years later.
Paul, if he existed (more probable than most of the biblical figures really), would have died almost a hundred years before there was a Christian orthodoxy of any kind. The orthodoxy was largely based on Paul's works, but the infighting and accusations of heresy that came with Orthodoxy came much later.
Um... the largest bomb ever built was 50-100 megatons. No bombs of that size were ever built in a deployable system (tsar bomba was too damned big to hit another country with it easily).
You can destroy roads and railroads easily with conventional bombs (which are really good at taking out everything in a straight line when dropped en mass).
At 1 megaton, you can destroy an office building 2.8 miles away reliably (the 10 PSI mark, few buildings will not stand up to 10 PSI of overpressure). Many building would be destroyed at 4 miles, and fires would be started as much as 7 miles away.
The majority of nukes launched in a nuclear war would probably be aimed at other nuclear launch sites. Since survival is very dependent on getting the other guys nukes before they launch. (which is what nuclear armed submarines or the constant planes flying to Russia were about, no way to avoid getting destroyed with a first strike).
He might be using them in a cold room/outside. Mine are about the same level as yours, but when my heat broke they turned to crap. There are some specialized ones for cold environs though.
As far at the article goes... 30% better is still a lot less efficient than CFLs (which are 60-80% better than traditional bulbs), and 3 times as long is not nearly as long as a CFL (I bought all of mine 2 years ago and haven't replaced a single one).
I do wonder what the cost to the utility company (and thus the nation as a whole if not me personally) of the PFC on CFLs is though. Am i really using 5% more power, 100% more? How much more inefficient can fancier incandescents be before the PFC issue becomes a deciding factor from an energy standpoint?
It would need to be more than just youtube for me to uninstall flash, but streaming video is the one thing I actually care about enough to put up with it for...
"These professors are probably so senior in their field, international leaders I'd guess, so their employer (the university) can't afford to sack them."
Not quite, but one (the scholarship one) was the head of the chemistry department, and had untouchable tenure, the other was a logic professor, and there is such an incredibly tiny number of people who qualify to teach formal logic that his job would have been ensured just by submitting a resume. (Actually, if I ever go back and get that PhD I always wanted I think thats the one I'm going to get).
Real hardware level raid might be different, but the software/hardware hybrid raid that comes on mother boards is perfectly portable in raid 1 (though not 0 or 5).
Both of the professor written textbooks I had in college were non profit for the professor (if not others), in one the prof set up a scholarship fund with the profits, and another the prof had waved his fee altogether (even making digital copies available for free) because he was sick of the practices described above. He actually had to circumvent the college rules in order to do that too. The 50% markup over B&N or Amazon is big money for the colleges, they didn't like him selling a 20 dollar book.
Not every professor would do it for free of course, but there would be more than enough.
Bullshit, the idea that you only get viruses if you do something wrong is utter utter bullshit.
Doing things wrong certainly means you get more, but the only way to avoid them entirely is to disconnect your internet and refuse to use any kind of rewritable media.
Isn't it going to be too bulky if its that much bigger for it to matter though? The PRS and regular Kindle are already at the upper limit of what I consider acceptable in a pocket device.
The readability issue on the kindle is supposedly a protective coating added for the touch screen. Bad glare results from this. The PRS 700 has the same issue (which is why I bought the 505, though the 700 has some nice perks as well).
The DX can't read PDF... I'm not sure what the parent is talking about. You have to convert the files to.mobi first. There are some online tools that are supposed to work pretty well for that, the one I know of that runs on your system (calibre) has issues with adding images to.mobi files.
As far as the OPs question goes, I think it depends on how much you want the free net connection. If thats necessary for you, the DX is the better reader, if you don't need that though, go with a different cheaper reader, such as the Sony PRS series (which has a the font size control for pdfs that the parent was complaining about lacking) more supported file formats, and removable storage if you need to have a lot of books with you at once.
I'd probably recommend the PRS-700 for academic purposes since it has notation tools to mark your academic papers, and the PRS zoom tool is suitable for reading things that have columns in the format, even for scans or cups-pdf output (remember to zoom out when looking at charts though).
There might be a better reader still for your purposes, I only really know the kindle and PRS models.
Which is why I deny port knocking is security through obscurity. Its actually a glorified password, with the advantage of being immune to certain password weaknesses (nobody can make their password 'password' for example) and with different weaknesses instead (a port knock sequence has to be stored somewhere instead of memorized).
Port knocking is a form of password in essence. I can know everything about the method of security, but without the actual sequence it does me no good.
Changing ports on the other hand, requires at the absolute most for me to brute force all ~32k ports, there are port mapping tools that will do it much more simply. Thus obscurity, since once I know what the method is, I can break it easily.

Those aren't corporations.

I think you underestimate how long Cheney has been around. Where do you think we got the oil in the first place? Cheney had the dinosaurs slaughtered.

"The only first-world country with no laws about racial persecution."
They did outlaw discrimination based on blood type though! That they even needed that law is pretty terrifying though.

Um... I'm guessing the electricity comes from the internal combustion engine the prius has.
"I don't know of a single really good author who writes primarily for profit."
Heinlein did.

Thats exactly what I'm arguing. Specifically that obscurity protects against certain styles of attack.
No, but the others don't scare people the same way.
Ok, but then why have AES-256 at all if its only twice as good as 128 in the first place?

The GGP was accusing her of planning to force Meagan to suicide though, intent is relevant to that particular accusation.
As for your willful distress theory, I already stated that someone else confessed to being the one that did that, using Lori Drew's computer.
