What a retro notion. I suppose next you're going to argue that government needs a proper budget, guns don't kill people, life begins at conception, and
Guy back in school had a jug of apple juice, yeast, sugar, and a heating register. They don't call it home brew for nothing.
So I don't find your distinction compelling.
how productive will you be if you spend your time questioning the "1+1" level of the system?
Given the finite nature of the mind, everyone behaves as though "1+1" is a "good enough" model of the universe. Try not to get too wrapped up in the reality of pi, unless math is your thing. In Economics, this is known as "specialization".
At the moment, anyway.
Show me the repeatable experiment where you go straight from the periodic table of elements to self-replicating life.
Which is not to say that I really think the Almighty trotted out the universe in 168 hours, either.
Let's just take comfort in the realization that no one "knows", put what is "known" out there, and let people grow in the knowledge that there is still plenty to sort out.
Did you hear the one about the Econophysicist, the Historochemist, and the Artamatician?
They showed up to un-f**c the UNFCCC, the the global warming weenies were all: "Hey, we thought WE were the ridiculous ones."

It feels wrong when somebody gets all shrill and pretends the U.S. still has borders, when we're just short of losing the Southwest to Mexico.
Great flick.
I, for one, always thought 'zombie' a euphemism for bureaucrat.
I detected a certain spaciousness to the whole galaxy. It was totally cosmic. I found myself becoming one with my navel. Then the hairball came.
"If only there were some... natural mechanism by which to explain variations in global temperature. It would have to be massive, though. On the scale of our own Sun."
Sure; he got busted: it was a barracks.
But we're discussing availability, not quality.

Schneier hasn't got the public profile for real Goldstein-hood.
Really needs to be read to the tune of The Who for maximal irony.
Schneier, ever time I read him, seems to be making sense. No need to deify the chap, though.
May the Almighty have mercy.
Just don't lose the whole byte.
Feeling good, Louis!
Looks like you picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.
Stone Temple Pilots vs. Velvet Revolver is a far more rockin' analogy*.

The experiment is currently being carried out on several thousand other planets in the Milky Way
Maybe, maybe not. It would be interesting to go find out.
How about "Stranglehold" by Ted Nugent?

So. . .you're not imagining a Beowulf Cluster of those. . .
Isn't it really all a SMOP? (SMOP Means Onomatopoeic Polysyllabry)

But can you build a BeAndroidWulf Cluster of them?

Not yet, and that could be a real blocker for 2014 being the year that linux conquers the desktop.
Thanks for destroying my question about building a Beowulf Cluster of Nooks, you insensitive clod.
