Guess what. There are a number of "religious folk" that agree with you. Most of us just don't have TV shows and multi-zillion dollar marketing budgets.
I think it's ignorant to assume that the Church of England and the Vatican have anything whatsoever to do with fundamentalist Christians in America. That is a fundamental misunderstanding.
OK, so which Dell does one need to know to look at in order to get a good deal? They've got so many almost-identical models it's difficult to figure out which one doesn't suck.
I've heard this dozens of times, but never seen how to differentiate crappy CFLs from good ones at the store. It's not like they have labels like "Hey, this CFL sucks! You should probably buy something better!" and spending more money is no guarantee of quality.
Do you have some reliable way to tell good CFLs from bad ones? I'd like to know how to do it.
The US Air Force has autonomous UAVs so your point kinda falls flat.
Global Hawk can fly to Afghanistan, perform its mission, fly home, and freakin' parallel park itself after the operator pushes the "Go take pictures of Afghanistan" button.
An autonomous vehicle doesn't need to do absolutely everything autonomously. It simply CAN fly its mission autonomously.
That means, you can have it signal you when it thinks something interesting is happening, or when it's in an interesting area, and you can start paying attention to it.
I don't think that makes these vehicles any less "autonomous".
Surely you're not talking about the federal court that just ruled that the cops can search anybody they want to, as long as they can point to an erroneous arrest warrant, right?
Oh wait, that wasn't just a Federal court. That was the Supreme Court. My bad.
"Too "Heavy" is an unusual problem for a concrete runway"
Not true at all. Runways all over the world were reinforced to support the 747 40 years ago.
The A380 has well-understood challenges with respect to ground handling. There is more to functioning in an air transport system than having a long enough runway.
Are any of these problems insurmountable? Absolutely not. But they aren't non-existant.
Huh. My keyboarding class is the part of my high school curriculum that I value the most. It got me to where I can type almost as fast as I can think, and that's useful.
You can de-authorize from any computer, and start over with five computers you can authorize. I think there is a limit to how often you can do this in a year, but it's hardly an onerous requirement.
Yes, I do tend to buy unencumbered MP3s when I can, but Apple's system just doesn't get in my way. YMMV.
Raytheon (Beech's parent) scrapped most of the Starships. I believe one or two are still airworthy, despite Raytheon's aggressive attempts to get them all out of the sky. The last owners have amassed a large stockpile of spares.
It's a shame. The Starship was truly the Way of Things To Come in aviation. It never performed quite as well as hoped, but it paved the way for large composite structures in commercial aviation.

Every ipod I've ever used can create an on-the-go playlist on the fly.
And I don't know if I've ever seen a cable remote that has a clickwheel. The Apple FM Radio remote certainly doesn't.
I stopped caring about directory structure when I started using iTunes' smart playlists. Why do I care where the file is stored, if I can hit all its criteria with a query?
And I find iTunes really good at batch-updating id3 tags.

Sorry about that. I'll try to be noisier.

Has that happened? Or has just the opposite of that happened?
So, your quotes sorta dismantle your thesis.
Private firearm ownership prevents citizens from becoming slaves. I think that's a laudable goal, and a good thing for the Constitution to enshrine.
Firearms may indeed be used to perform bad acts. Doesn't mean that the stated principle (preventing tyranny and/or slavery) is not a proper aim.
I mean, real schools offer up degrees in philosophy, pottery, and basket weaving and who knows what.
Let's not throw stones so easily around here.
I love how slashdot posts these creationism stories to stir up the flamewars and mock the religious.
Uh huh. And none of those are science degrees. What's your point?
OK, so which Dell does one need to know to look at in order to get a good deal? They've got so many almost-identical models it's difficult to figure out which one doesn't suck.
I prefer Apple, and I don't have to justify the increased expense to you.
It is worth the extra coin to me, and you can do whatever makes you happy.
What's the problem?
Or information that people have put out that's not even about me, but about a different person who has a similar name to me?
But without copyright, I could use your binary, if I thought it was worth using.
But you probably already knew that, and are just trying to belabor a silly point.

Hold on.
You're telling me that the software business has more than 50% gays? That's simply delusional.
I think Google is right on point on this issue, but your argument is just silly.
Not really sure what you're getting at here...
As a matter of fact, you can. And they did.

What obsolete technology is that?
Uh huh. So you had a different experience from me, with different physiological constraints. Good for you!
Not a bad way to be!

Good luck with your search.
"is quite able to live their lives quite well without it..."
That's because the United States has it, and (measured vs. imperial powers of old) is not very interested in expansionism.
Right, wrong, or indifferent, the United States subsidizes the defense of NATO countries.
