Except, this is about using/electric/ headlights. You know, the things before we had halogens? The same complains came up with the switch to halogens. In short, people will probably adapt.
Personally, I don't consider such phrases to be insults. They are more of a request for action on the part of $DEITY, a shortening of "Dear God, please smite these sinners" to "god damn them".
In the sense of this thread, the word is used as an adjective, implying that $DEITY/has/ damned something (an action presumably within its power).
Since the 'longer' form of either usage seems to be popular in at least some mainstream (fundamentalist, if that is not too contradictory) Christian religions, it's safe to assume that there is either some regular commandment-breaking going on, or that 'goddamn' and variations aren't really insulting.

It's a feedback loop; thoughts producing chemicals and chemicals producing thoughts are not mutually exclusive events. You can have both; it's like a program that can edit its code while running.
To take another topic, you can feel depressed because of the right (wrong?) chemicals in your brain. You could also feel depressed if you think thoughts that create those same chemicals. To "cure" depression, you could inject chemicals to balance things out, or you could think thoughts that do the same thing. The injection technique is likely more effective for many.
I've discovered with AT&T where the delete button is 7 and it won't work until you get to the end of the message. However, I found that pressing 77 very quickly will interrupt and delete the VM.
Funny thing is, your SSN may not be unique. I had a conversation with someone at an insurance company who would see the occasional duplicate. It wasn't pretty to sort out.
You don't have to carry around two images when you digitally sign one. You just need the image and it's signature (~160 chars or so), and can make both as public as you want.
It's not, because they were not arrested for breaking into the Invita computer. They were arrested for crimes committed previously; Invita was only to help the FBI get into their computers.

I would be impressed by a single bomb taking out several (large) states at once. Most would only take out a average city, and tacnukes are even more localized.
Well, since the RFCs haven't hit 3000 yet, your last two aren't valid. For the politicians, 602P is not a valid designation. It's sorta like using a period in a domain name. H.R. 602 or S. 602. Which means they should have recognized it as a fake immediately.
Much as I'd love to have the MPAA and RIAA Go Away, it would be nice if they could be convinced this was secure. They aren't all that swift anyway, and if nobody told them, they likely never would have heard of mp3. My bet is Valenti doesn't even know what Gnutella is.

Umm... Is it just me, or isn't releasing a product with a known and possibly intentional overflow exploit an extremely stupid/irresponsible thing to do?
Especially on a windows box, where every proggy runs as root, this would mean that any random script kiddie would have total control over a computer running AIM. That's a lost of people. Can anyone say "class action"?
If you want unity, dump TLDs altogether. With all the fun copyright issues floating around, TLDs are getting rather obselete anyhow, since every company is going to go for.com,.net, and.org without bothing to notice why we have those different TLDs in the first place.
More TLDs would be useful, but only if the policies for granting them were somewhat more rigorously enforced (such as with the.edu,.mil, et cetera). It needs to be enforced that a company/organization can only register a domain name in the TLDs for which they actually fit the intended requirements.
I wouldn't trust the keys from joe-blow just because they had the same name and addy attached. Somehow, someway, I need to verify that it's really their key, and if I couldn't find their key before, I could get it then.
Also, I would use both PGP and x.509. You can exchanged mail signed with an x.509 cert to transfer/verify the public key. I have not found an easy way to do general encryption with x.509 certs the way I can with pgp. Besides, how many webmail places will verify an x.509 signed mail?
For the best of both worlds, have Thawte sign your PGP key. Most pgp registries mirror, and the clueless users are likely using the windows version which makes registering keys painfully simple.

That's nice, but Genentech was never bought by Monsanto. It was held by Roche for a time, but that's about it.
