in the case of god, i'm talking about a god that is all-powerful and intelligent, since these are two properties that almost everyone can agree must be a requisite of any meaningful definition of god.
Nonsense. Please go tell that to the Romans, Greeks, Norse, Hindu,...
The percentage of religions with an omnipotent, omniscient, ominipresent god seems quite low. (Three to be exact... And all from the same culture. How odd.)
Where does that idea come from? It comes from biblical Christianity. Our first scientists knew that God is consistent in the way that he manages the world and that it was therefore worthwhile to investigate how it works.
'Cos everyone knows the (Greeks|Babylonians|....) didn't exist.
In the new agreement, there are clauses that state that Level3 can again try to charge Cogent if their traffic amount is grossly over that of Level3's.
How do you know that? Have you just broken your NDA?
The press release says:
Under the terms of the agreement, the companies have agreed to the settlement-free exchange of traffic subject to specific payments if certain obligations are not met.
You're right about the multihoming at least. Only a fool isn't multihomed.
Nah, white people are a violent, troubled minority. The source of almost all crime and the majority of terrorist attacks. They are unpatriotic (less likely to defend their country in the armed forces) and overpaid.
He was placed in a holding cell designed for 63 people but which at that point was crammed with several hundred. "People were literally laying on top of each other," he wrote after being released.
A "holding cell" designed for 63 people - who says the US isn't a 3rd world country.

That was the point of my joke.
Of course the fact that the patent office issued two patents for the same "invention" is the best joke of all.
Nah, the GIF patent guys are IBM.

Huh? Half Life 2? Nonsense.
The only one I've ever come across was early versions of the Sims 2. And that's been fixed.
Why do people keep saying this.
It's not true.
Uh, got some kind of cite for this?
Yes.
Next question please.
Idiot moderators. It's a flame, not a troll.
Well, nothing at all, since it's bollocks.
You expect rational argument from fruitcakes?
Nonsense. Please go tell that to the Romans, Greeks, Norse, Hindu,

Please report to the disintegration chamber.
All references to invisible pink unicorns are anathema in the sight of the one true flying spaghetti monster.
Have you been touched by his noodly appendage today?
A good atheist can kill tens, if not hundreds of millions when he gets the urge.

Incorrect. Evolution is an observed fact, in the same sense that Gravitation is an observed fact.
Darwin's theory, natural selection, is a theory.
It seems to be about as good a theory as, or probably better than, Newtons theory of Gravity. (No sign of evolution's Einstien yet).
You believe in mutations & natural selection but not evolution?
You're even more fucked up that the Intelligent Design loonies. Please re-read the party line: ID is a theory of evolution.
It has to be - evolution was proven in the 19th century - the only thing left to argue about is the mechanism.
Only a young earth creationist could deny evolution.
Oh you are so naive, it's touching.
Gays don't have kids.
Right.

Oh, so "Marxist Hacker" is a believer in "Socialism in one Country".
Fucking reactionary scumbags. Make me want to puke.

Kick the bums out, I say!
This from the guy who seems unable to write more than one sentence at a time.
And how about "[...] let someone else handle a project so complex", way to go with the fluid use of the English language.
Ah shit, I'm bored with the reasoned, witty replies: Fuck off and die.
So how do you "set up a couple of controllers (for redundancy) that mount all the NFS shares and turn them into a linear or striped array"?

It's a fucking joke you sad shit.
Lighten up already.
These "conservatives" just get worse and worse. Starting to make the commies and trots look enlightened and fun loving.

And of course, those of us who have children, or even most of us who have been children, know what we call this behaviour.
God is an abusive parent.
Even if I believed in him, why the hell should I worship him?
