I'm tired of having to ask AT&T iPhone customers to refrain from masturbating while riding on public transportation. Hopefully this new cap will help put an end to such obscene displays.
No. If a zone goes down in CA, I can have a new server up in Virginia within minutes. I would rather be on ec2 when I go down. I guarantee I will be back up faster than you.
TFA says *you* have to wear protective gear. These guys obviously have testicular fortitude above and beyond the average mortal, and also tolerance probably comes into play at some point.
Science and religion *are* incompatible. All religious faith is blind faith by definition because you are accepting something in the absence of real evidence.
Look, I started this thread by defending christianity. I think it's a good religion. Then you took issue with the fact that I called it irrational. I'm pretty sure Jesus would agree with me. Faith is irrational by definition so get over it. .
It's not irrational to believe that Jesus existed. It's irrational to believe that after we die we continue to live forever with our dead family members (and sometimes pets). Or 72 virgins, it doesn't matter the scenario. These beliefs are comforting but rational people eventually outgrow them.
Well, reading the testimony of people who lived 2000+ years ago and had no science to explain the things they didn't understand, isn't really research. Unlike those people we have the benefit of an understanding of natural selection. We know how we got here. If we continue to believe in an afterlife it's only because it's comforting. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that, but it's not the rational conclusion.
Right, well for gay kids it might make sense to reject their religious indoctrination. Bet then again it might not. I'm not sure that the depression/suicide rate among church going gay kids is higher than among non-church going ones. The thing about being religious is that unlike being gay, it's a choice.

I believe it would actually be illegal for him to declare himself not beyond reproach.
I think we can use the traditional measurement of importance - money. As soon as a bittorrent site IPOs into the billions we can talk.

Ooh, I'm sorry to step on your toes. But maybe if you keep your mouth closed nobody will notice that you were born retarded.
run along, kiddies, the grown ups are trying to have a conversation here.
Is that because you don't understand what salt means in that context or because you realized that AC's can't mod posts?
Barack Obama? Just kidding lol. -- Oh wait, no I'm not.
I'm holding out for asian women on Mars. I have a dream.
No it's witchcraft!
You want to play adult rated video games on it.

Buffy was more to horror than fantasy and the occasional robot made it a little science fiction-y

Unlike screaming and buggering 9 year olds like the others on his bus.

1) Not true. 2) Something is very wrong with that.
Unless God let you believe you replicated them to test your faith. Hmm?
If they pay any taxes at all, then they're ahead of most.
I don't know why I bother. Maybe you'd like to argue that water isn't wet.
