  3. Re:Nuh-uh! on Venus's Surface May Be 1 Billion Years Old · · Score: 2, Insightful

    "So... your omnipotent God. Either an omnipotent God created everything and lets the innocent suffer and everything rot without giving a damn, or a silly little species among countless others evolved and had to struggle with its fears so it invented Gods for comfort."

    The point of Christianity is that there are no innocents. God is perfect and holy, and because of our sin, God is justified in letting everyone of us suffer. He is not obligated to any of us, and it's His Grace that allows us to be saved from eternal damnation.

  8. Skype on Redhat and Intel Team Up for Linux Business · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    " providing hard core data to make complex architectural decisions."

    The "hard core data" is that if you use AMD with Red Hat then they're going to limit the number of TCP connections you can make.

  9. Re:Slashdot readers should worship the guy! on Happy 300th Birthday Benjamin Franklin · · Score: 1

  18. Re:Nothing will change. on Storm Brewing over Microsoft on the Horizon? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    They'll worm their way out of it somehow, and after any publicity this generates dies down, they'll go right back to viciously fucking competitors, customers and business partners alike.
