If you believe in a theological definition of a soul then you already know the answer.
If you believe in redefining words until they meet your arguments then you are just being argumentative. (and a little disingenuous), thus you don't want to know the answer.
If you refuse to learn what a soul is, then you will never learn the answer.
If you don't believe in a soul, then you are just being rhetorical, and thus you don't care about the answer.
Notice I didn't directly impose my answer to your question, but I can assure you, each of us fits into one of the 4 statements and I don't really mind you existing in any of those worlds, just don't preach to me about mine with illogical reasoning.
Easy to see why.
1. They used to (System 1 - MacOS9)
2. OS X Still sounds cool if you must refer to it by numbers, even roman numbers.
3. 11 was already taken, We already took Darwin from them. Are you trying to piss those guys off?
4. Counting in base 12 never really caught on
5. Kind of leaves you wondering what Fedora will do next. Redhat decided to get out of the business when the numbers got this high:)
Not even close. His duty was to interpet and adminster the law. The law being at least in part what was already ruled on. I applaud him for recognizing that he had no idea on the subject matter. But there was nothing stopping him from entertaining Amicus curiae from the slashdot crowd.
Real people and damages occurred as a result of the way the morons ran their business and the original ruling recognized that. This judges response of "it's not my job" is typical bullshit. If it wasn't his job then he should have kept his mouth shut or recused himself. I doub't he set any legal precedants today.

we're not afraid of huge changes to the package format. GOOD! call it whatever you want - just make sure you copy and paste the code fom rpm or apt.
I'll take a look at their ideas just out of curiosity, but I sure as hell am not going to wade through the idiosnycracies of another package manager.
Seriously, I couldn't find out what advantages this distro plan on bringing to the table in this respect or do they just like the idea of owning *ALL* the sand? Anyway, good luck.

not trained in the philosophy of religion
So to be clear here, what you are saying is that you have to be trained in religion to have an opinion on it? Surely this rules out 99% of theists out there today, pretty odd that they can't have a view.
I think what he is saying is there is a difference between having and expressing.
If you keep track of this kind of stuff you'll find 99% of people spout off their bullshit without having any idea of what they are talking about. Selfism is a religion in itself.

The main reason I switched to linux 10 years ago was some CLI geeks showed me all the advantages of running things like startx --:1. Not to mention multiple users logged onto my hardware with their own x sessions running. but if I have my FTP transfer running on VT1, and wget doing something somewhere else, and my webserver running too, yeah I guess I would rather restart X than reboot my machine.
So while I understand your situation, I disagree with your assessment. Maybe you should start taking advantage of the coolness of the penguin.
p.s. I never struggle with shitty hardware or software, I am quite happy being 6 months behind the bleeding edge.
It's the behaviour pattern of the FBI that has me wondering exactly when we made the 90 degree turn to facism in this country.

How important is your domain to you if you let it expire?
There are whole industries out in the real world that absolutely count on people being too lazy or too stupid to to keep up. People that can't handle the technology should stay the hell away from it. Of course it's always easier to blame someone else than to take responsibility for your own (in)action.
don't bother calling,just vote them out. That is the only message they understand.
Below is a response to the recent comments I received from you:
Dear Friend:
Thank you for contacting me regarding foreign intelligence surveillance. I appreciate hearing from you and would like to respond to your concerns.
The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) of 1978 provided the U.S. intelligence community with a framework to regulate the collection of electronic surveillance on foreign intelligence targets, while protecting the Constitutional civil liberties of U.S. citizens. FISA was written to distinguish between the collection of information on a physical wire versus collection of signals broadcast in the open air. In 1978, almost all U.S. domestic calls were on a wire and almost all international communications were transmitted via satellites through the air. Therefore, FISA required all U.S. intelligence agencies to obtain a court order to intercept a wire-to-wire communication or any communication transmitted domestically. FISA, however, did not require court orders to intercept and collect wireless communications outside the United States.
The FISA Amendments Act of 2007 (S. 2248) modernizes our collection of foreign intelligence. This measure clarifies that FISA's requirement of prior court approval does not apply to surveillance that is targeted at a person reasonably believed to be located outside the United States in accordance with the bill's procedures. S. 2248 would allow the Attorney General and the Director of National Intelligence to jointly authorize the targeting of persons reasonably believed to be located outside the United States to acquire foreign intelligence information for periods of up to one year. S. 2248 in addition requires prior court approval for surveillance of U.S. citizens who are overseas. S. 2248 will provide, upon a certification by the Attorney General, retroactive immunity to carriers that allegedly participated in the President's Terrorist Surveillance Program. It also provides prospective immunity to participating telecommunications carriers for certain assistance.
Throughout the history of our republic, we have always been concerned about the proper balance between security and freedom. Those who are generally concerned about the power of government to trample on the rights of free citizens when necessity dictates are right to insist on maintaining the individual civil liberties afforded by our Constitution, most especially in times of crisis. The FISA Amendments Act now being contemplated by the US Congress is precisely concerned with maintaining such protections.
We must remember we are at war with a ruthless enemy that has no regard for human life and exploits the openness of our society to harm us at home and abroad. I believe S. 2248 is a necessary update to FISA in order for us to continue to protect ourselves from these threats. However, having experienced life under a totalitarian regime, I value our Constitutional civil liberties, and I will continue to protect these rights as your Senator.
Thank you very much for sharing your concerns. Do not hesitate to contact me with any additional questions or comments you may have. For more information about issues and activities important to Florida, please sign up for my weekly newsletter at http://martinez.senate.gov./

It depends on whether you consider the shuttle itself, and the third stage of the Saturn V as payload. If you do, they are pretty close. The shuttle puts in into a little higher orbit. Now compare the amount of fuel each needs to get to the same spot, and you'll get my point, that most of the fuel consumed is used getting fuel into orbit.
SRB's give much more energy/lb. I'm not sure you could build a practical Saturn V type rocket to lift anything heavier than the Appollo. Most of the fuel is used to lift the fuel you need, as a matter of fact we're starting to lose the generation that could build a Saturn V. I wonder if anyone remembers how?
Soon your boss or your co-workers who are picking up your slack will discover your downtime too. They will be happy to give you more permanent downtime and hire someone a little more ethical. Get used to working meaningless jobs, for substandard pay for the rest of your life. you reap what you sow.
p.s. downloading linux iso's all day long may throw them off track and also let you know if they are really paying attention!:)
1. you learn you need to duck sooner than everyone else.
2. you learn what good landing strips are left after it has passed.
are these scientists purchasing carbon credits or are they the other type? Sometimes i can't tell.
