Your fallacy is thinking Time is linear. Time is non-linear. It does not exist at the meta-physical level. Time is a *dimension* of mind. After you die will finally grok these concepts, so don't worry about it if you don't "get it" while human - most people don't.
So why does god get a free pass to come from nothing?
He doesn't. If he exists, it's somewhere outside this universe- somewhere we can't see, since the light from anywhere outside the universe will probably never reach us (something about being inside a giant bubble or whatever). To be honest, I pulled that theory straight out of my ass, so I'm not going to defend it at all.
My personal experience with combining earplugs and things vaguely similar to earmuffs is that the effect didn't seem to stack. I put the earplugs in first, then the earmuffs, and there was no difference between having the earmuffs on and off as far as mitigating the noise of people talking. I do have to wonder if >33dB is considered a normal talking volume for an indoor environment, or if perhaps the rest is just conducting through my skull.
The warning was often the most interesting thing on the box of a new toy for me. Long trips could be shortened entirely by reading the car manual. I guess I have a different sense of fun reading.
"I've actually never, ever, met a creationist who would even admit that they might be wrong. And that says it all, really."
I admit that I might be wrong. Often enough I am, and it is the ability to learn from being wrong that separates me (and perhaps a few others) from zealots. Others would just make up psuedoscience to get around the fact that they're wrong.
Evolution has enough proof for itself that I think it is true. I am willing to accept any answers science can give, as long as they are proven. In the end, I might even go with the Creed: "Nothing is true, everything is permitted."
I once went there. Of course, that was in a video game, as with a lot of things I've supposedly done or experienced (such as performing a kidney transplant)
Perhaps you'd prefer to just walk around doing good without any control over it, because the solution to most of those questions would involve God controlling everyone. Yes, free will exists, and yes, people will do with it what they feel like. As for the cancer, the five year old is, according to the nearest Mormon, automatically sorted into the highest level of heaven for dying young, and honestly if his wife died a year later the 'why' is looking more like 'it's genetic'.
Thousands of starving children die every day because we haven't moved on to hydroponic farming yet. Most of these have to do with people exercising their free will, directly or indirectly. As a rule, God doesn't interfere with that.
I did a regular official one (weschler or something like that scale), and it gave me an 85. Maybe it's because I'm lazy, all my teachers say I'm much better than 15 points above retarded.
My Chemistry teacher preferred Metric and I learned to live with them. However, I'm a poor judge of length and distance and often have to use a ruler on maps to get any sense of distance, and couldn't tell you the length of this computer screen without looking it up. Hell, I don't even know how many centimeters tall the average ten-year old is, something I would like to know due to Trauma Center using metric all over the place (charts mostly- I guess I understand since it's medical stuff)
Yup. It's quicker but potentially less effective than a single pass of "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/disk-to-be-wiped". Writing zeros across the disk will wipe any disk made in the last 15 years or so, beyond all hope of recovery.
No, you don't know a company that can recover it. No, the NSA don't have a big magic machine that can recover it.
How does one do this on Windows? I don't run Linux, but I know enough to know that/dev/zero is one of Linux's special directories that does stuff. (/dev/null is another one, besides/dev/random) and thus just telling the disk to put itself in/dev/zero (or whatever that code means, I'm more of a level designer myself and can't read code unless everything is fairly plain) isn't going to work.
I plan on doing this after recovering any data from a failing drive of my own. And then drilling a hole in it. And then having it be sent off to be recycled (ie melted down and made into something else)
Let's see, so if I sell bananas, but someone in the US decides to use my bananas to kill someone, I should pull out of that market even if there are plenty of people who don't use bananas to kill people? Since when is making even more problems for people a good ethical stance?
Next thing you know some lawyer will be running around getting people to reveal what they aren't telling him by playing an elaborate game of mental chess.
I've been playing these games since Morrowind. Oblivion was nice and so are the Fallouts (3, Zeta, Vegas, etc). My gripe is that their current engine is terrible still. Moving to a new engine when they haven't fixed the old one does not inspire confidence.
Time will tell.
I'll still buy it though, cause I's Luvs Dragons.
As said above, the engine would need a low-level rewrite to work again, so making a new engine from scratch is most likely going to fix the majority of the issues, provided they acknowledge them.
Dear Santa, all I wish for Christmas is for Bethesda to hire some better character animators (and fire the one that did the Jumping animations), and support alt-tab, if they need help, please direct them to BioWare.
Thanks.
And doesn't have the annoying AI of Fallout 3 or Oblivion with their random comments. "I hope you're not going to tamper with that".... What, is it suddenly illegal to look at things? And then there was when they annoyed you because you accidentally got your hitbox too close to something and it rolled around (or even for no reason at all) At least Fallout 3 got rid of the annoying shopkeeper comments, who you could haggle until you were paying 200% and they'd still complain. (Actually, never used the haggle system, someone check that for me.) Just... yeah. I feel better when the AI ignores me unless I talk to them, like in real life. Now please excuse me while I get ignored in real life some more.

In the original script Obi-Wan was supposed to react skeptically. The first explanation would be that Han was bullshitting him.

But is Time wibbly-wobbly?

But sir, NaCl doesn't contain any carbon at- *head explodes* Wait, I'm not even a professional chemist, do I count?

Please show us your evidence that God doesn't exist, Herr Prosecutor.
Touché.
I'm sure several poor Chinese kids drank plenty of water during that shirt's production. Or was it Polynesia? I haven't checked my shirt recently.
Not only that, but TFA's title contradicts the title given here. Also, what the hell is a fork in this context?
Hey, if it weren't for us, it'd just be the Democratic Republic of Korea, and still be the same shithole, but over a bigger area.

By even putting Mormon and Scientology in the same sentence, you are guilty of slander. My lawyer will be contacting you.
Trauma was a pretty good EMS drama while it lasted. My father is an EMT himself, so he could tell that it tried to be fairly accurate.

The above is the same as my views on the matter.
