    Oh, and fuck you for ignoring ACs. Don't you have any respect for privacy?

    Whether or not you believe in him, God loves you. Even if you hate him, God loves you.

    Then why, if he loves everybody equally, are all these saps bending over to him?

  4. Churches are voluntary associations. The church is a collection of people who all pay their taxes on their income and property like anybody else, but who then gather together and chip-in some of their post-tax money for use by the group.

    Quit thinking of it as an "income" tax. In reality it is a transaction tax.

  5. Exactly why neither pure capitalism nor pure communism are perfect systems for human society. So what would be wrong with the government providing Ladas and the free market providing Hondas, Toyotas, Chryslers, Fords etc?

    I'd argue that they have never "innovative". Just stole.

    What with the push by the FDA not to eat bacon and eggs in favor of vegetable oils and the creation of millions of diabetics by overloading their systems with sugar it is surprising any of us still live. We were made to eat meat, that is the bottom line.

    I can't even imagine how much change would be required to feed a meter like that. One would think that would take the bulk of the payload.

    Running wrong OS, get a security warning. Running on the wrong hardware, get a security warning. It's no wonder most users see security warnings as overblown BS.

    There are just way too many of them and they are simply too hard for a normal user to evaluate whether the risk is truly severe or just another attempt of somebody to fleece them.

    Health care example:

    Monitor shows the patient is in asystole. On assessment the patient is alert, talking, and in no apparent distress. Diagnosis is it is the equipment, not the patient, who disturbed the night's routine. Outcome? You lecture the patient for exceeding the devices operating parameters and tell him/her to quit moving and perspiring so that the monitoring devices may correctly interpret typical human norms.
