It's not exploration. There's no unfamiliar area being traveled in.
It's a risky activity. It's testing something that very well mightn't work. It's forward progress on engineering and science. But it isn't exploration.
Since you are able to post and hence are alive, clearly you have not suffered more bigotry and intolerance than "any homosexual" given that a non-zero number of them have suffered bigotry and intolerance of the form "we tolerate you so little we are going to beat you to death right here and now" which you clearly have not.
Or the delete key stuck down for one of numerous reasons. More than once I've had vi starts beeping like crazy because I've shifted the keyboard and the escape key has wedged under the monitor.
It directly doesn't. You can read the vast quantities of posts here for indirect reasons.
From my perspective I don't care at all. It doesn't affect me in the slightest. All I did was point out an error of fact (or I guess misleading definitions if you are using referring to new atheism as something different than the rest of world uses the term) which has exactly nothing to do with some Christians telling each other lies for whatever reason.
OK so a random shift. You claim "You never hear these people criticizing any other religions", I point out that you do and give a reference. You jump to asking about how I'm affected by a conference I'm not affected by?
Sure, you do. All the time. Of course if you happen to live in a country in which Christianity is the dominant religion that impacts the lives of such atheists you would expect the most common topic to be Christianity. Or do you really expect people to criticize the things that don't impact their lives instead of the things that do?
If "you never hear these people criticizing any other religions" how did they get lablled islamaphobic? Amazing that they could do that without criticizing other religions - http://www.salon.com/2013/03/3...
And debates such as Christopher Hitchens vs Tariq Ramadan Sam Harris vs Reza Aslan are illusionary?
Sure pick aside. The entire idea of evidence and taking whatever theory best explains the data at the time as probably not 100% true but the best explanation we currently have and changing your mind as the data changes would just be fence sitting craziness.
Lines are an important concept of the language - they are referenced by gotos and gosubs. That program is one line. It is more than one statement, but the claim wasn't a "one statement program".
And how can you be sure that counterfeit chips don't make it into the supply chain somewhere down the line without you knowing about it?
Having your devices get bricked (from the user's perspective) on mass because FTDI decided to try this again in the future seems like a rather large risk to take
Except that it doesn't happen in "the controlled environment of a driver update". It happens when the USB device is plugged into the computer that had the driver update done months ago.
And no, that you can write some code that detects the fake chip and bricks it while also detecting a legit chip and not bricking it does not provide any evidence one way or another about those chips working perfectly fine.

Which is forward progress in engineer but not actually exploration.
Sure metaphoric exploration, but I metaphorically explored different ratios of scotch and dry too - doesn't make me an explorer.

Did I claim to be tolerant? That seems rather unlikely.
It's not pedantry. You made a claim of fact. It's clearly not true. That you don't like that being pointed out is your problem.

Because lots of people don't share your ludicrously stupid idea of what marriage is.
There was no such implication.
Maybe you could try reading the comment you are replying to before asking what it already answered.
Water on Earth is cheap and plentiful
Water in Earth orbit on the other hand is neither.
O'er the land of the DHS checkpoint/asset seizure/SWAT raid and the home of the easily scared?
What in heatbleed would have possibly required a reboot?
Surely openssl isn't embedded in the kernel on freebsd???
Of course I'm behind the times enough to have been running openssl 0.9.8 in the first place...
It really doesn't. It disqualifies one (rather stupid) justification for doing something, leaving a billion other ones to be used.

I don't get the relation or relevance.
It doesn't. And I didn't claim it does. Can you read?
Then you would be a particularly stupid deity.

Because you have complete control of course.
The shipment of real chips couldn't get swapped out for cheaper ones at the factory in China to be resold or anything like that.
If the DoD can't manage to keep counterfeit chips out of fighter jets it seems like a cheap usb gadget manufacturer might find it tricky.
And how can you be sure that counterfeit chips don't make it into the supply chain somewhere down the line without you knowing about it?

So as long as they think they'll only get caught 11 out of 12 times it's profitable to keep trying.
Either you don't know what the word "analogy" means. Or you don't know what the word "literally" means.
Or both I guess.
