Honeypot was my first thought too. You could keep the enemy scrambling to build the mind control ray gun we developed back in the 80s using technology we stole from the cities on the far side of the moon. Knowing someone is hacking your system can be a lot of fun.
"So what is so goddamn scary and awful that both Bush and Obama would hold on to these hugely unpopular things, or even make them worse, at such high political cost to themselves and their parties? This, I badly want to know."
a: an educated public willing to stand up for themselves.
I could be mistaken, but I don't believe they've actually rerun the experiment since the issue was discovered, not even sure if the cable has actually been fixed yet.
Come on, the highway scene was pretty awesome. If you went into it looking for a great story I can see the disappointment, but as far as action scenes and special effects go I thought it was worth the watch... then again the first movie had a good story AND all the special effects/actions so if you compare the first one to the next two then yeah, I see your point.
Here's the problem with Atheists; they do not believe in anything superior to themselves. Atheists can't imagine God beyond the kindergarten view of the candle smoked god seen from the pews of a church, they think anyone with faith or belief thinks God is a bearded man sitting on a cloud. His post is a great example of this, he even tosses in the holiday icons to "prove" his point that believing in a man on a cloud is silly. You see, they have a child like view of religion and what God is, so therefore they feel that is how everyone believes. To be honest, the notion that God is a bearded man on a cloud is silly and childish, why would anyone believe that? But that is what Atheists often believe other people believe, which is why they never offer valid arguments but instead deride and chastise people with faith and then make rude comments about spaghetti monsters or santa claus, then they pull out the science argument (that way they can point at you and say how ignorant you are, because science can't prove god). All the time they miss the chance to get past the kindergarten explanations we give children and really understand that God is way more than their twisted up view.
Yeah, he's being a little harsh on you TeTalon. He's missed your point completely, just ignore him and he'll go away. I personally think the statement "Because in science you should have both an open curious mind and a skeptical questioning mind too." is spot on. How can someone have a closed mind and still explore the mysteries of the world?
Okay, I admit it can sting and the increased pressure in an already inflamed sinus cavity can be painful, but compared to antibiotics it is a lot more effective and doesn't cause the intestinal distress caused by antibiotics. It can also be a little gross, but if you catch an infection early then none of it is all that bad.
You're telling me that you've saturated your sinus cavity daily with salt water, let it soak in for 4-5 minutes, blew it out and had no effect? You have a lot more than a sinus infection. You do know the salt water goes in your nose right? Has the infection gotten in your lungs, if it has then you're way past a sinus infection.
They should take a driver's license number instead or another government ID (military, state issued non-drivers license, passport, etc). Legally I don't believe they can "require" a SSN. Of course I'm not a lawyer, I just play one on/. I setup all my utilities with my DL# (which is different from my SSN).
You ever been to Slow's down on the river market? BBQ and Jazz in one spot. Awesome. It's been a few years since I last ventured into downtown, but Slow's is almost worth the drive. Great, now I want BBQ.
No, the "Tea Party" is a collection of independent political groups, generally conservative, that have been rounded up by people like the Koch brothers and portrayed in the media as an "alternative" political group, when in reality the "Major" Tea Party groups are nothing more than a front and a way to keep the people abandoning the GOP ship on a life raft they control. The "Tea Party" is not a political party, it is a catch phrase.
I didn't say that "God" created the universe, nor did I shout "God did it!". Glad your lack of reading comprehension gave you a laugh. Go back and read what I wrote, then read your comment, cause that made me laugh a little too.
But to answer your question, yes I think someone who believes a spindle of DVD-RW created the Heavens and the Earth and all things in between is more "open minded" than someone who can't imagine any being greater than themselves.
Yes, it is silly, but it doesn't negate the fact that it takes an open mind to believe it. So was there a point you were trying to make other than just putting words in my mouth or did you just want to prove that you can't comprehend the concept that the Universe might just be sentient?
True, it's incomprehensible to me. I've known several self proclaimed Atheists and despite they all claim the use of logic to determine the falsehood of "God" it seems that they're simply not intelligent enough to realize that the universe as a whole is a lot bigger, more complex and intricate than we will ever understand. Look in the mirror and you will see yourself, now take the next logical step and realize that you are nothing more than billions of other lifeforms all working together to form you. So this little ball of grey matter inside my skull is nothing more than a group of separate living cells that together form me. Soooo, for someone to tell me that their is no "God" simply tells me that they do not have the mental capacity to understand how many things together can all be part of one larger system. I have little respect for the belief of most Atheists, in general I find them narrow minded and VERY extreme in their belief that they are indeed the highest life form in the universe. Agnostics are at least smart enough to know they don't know everything.

You're right, the politically correct term is "Meat Puppet".

" In my fact liking a show typically serves as a death knell."
Please tell me you like American Idol.
fanboy!

Sure, but the third one is probably sterile.
that's just what they want you to think.

The US, we print money faster than anyone!
Thank God we live in a Republic. Then again the charter for that Republic is constantly getting stomped on.
They're now using #3 pencils instead of #2.
Or on a Casio Boat like in Missouri, which can be in a nearly landlocked pond on the edge of the river.

Works every time, costs pennies and has almost no side effects. Don't need a prescription for it either.
horses are also really hard for the enemy to hack and use against you.
