for information on this very real danger. Also, keep in mind that if you are in an accident in an electric vehicle it may be a matter of minutes or hours longer to extract you from the vehicles depending on the preparedness of the responding emergency crews and the condition of your vehicle (exposed high-voltage wiring harness, spilled acids, or high-pressure gas tanks which may rupture in a fire).
Life is more than money, time was never money
Time was never cash, life is still more than girls.
Life is more than hundred dollar bills and roto-tom fills,
Life is more than fame and rock and roll and thrills.

We've got information in the information age
But do we know what life is outside of our convenient Lexus cages?
With lots dark fiber out there, phone services should be a dirt cheap commindity.
That's true - especially since all you have to do is point a flashlight into the end of the fiber and yell at the on/off switch to have a working telephone. We don't need any of these expensive DWDM multiplexers and SONET/ATM equipment and Muxes and Switches and Port Cards and Frames. Nevermind the full power backups (battery & generators) required by regulations in every CO - and the redundant fiber channels required to maintain a high level of service when Joe Farmer cuts a fiber because he is plowing the wrong side of the road. Just give everyone a dark fiber and let them figure it out.
Nevermind the fact that the average cost to light a dark fiber (and remain in compliance with FCC regulations) is on the order of $200,000. And that's just to get data from one end of the fiber to the other. Now add the cost of actually switching that bandwidth out to the end user. Kind-of makes your statement that phone services should be cheap look silly, huh?
Actually, the #1 use of fresh water is irrigation. Followed closely by thermoelectric plants, then industrial/mining, then domestic, then commercial. In fact, all commercial use (which includes golf courses) accounts for only 1% of fresh water consumption. Check out more info from the EPA. http://www.epa.gov/water/you/chap1.html.
A) The activity of reading Slashdot and hacking code consume up to 1/2 of the creatures' waking hours, every single day.
B) The affected animals also exhibit other deficiencies (such as social abilities) and obsessive behaviors (toward Linux).
C) The entire lifestyle of these creatures is wildly altered by the addition of something as simple as a girlfriend into their cages... er... parents' basement.
I hardly think that a life consumed with reading slashdot and hacking code is even remotely different.
I suspect that if Amazon does not want the traffic it would receive from all it's high Google listings, they would just create a robots.txt file and disallow the google bot from indexing the book texts. I don't think this is about becoming the most popular search engine on the web. It is about fighting froogle.google.com as the one-stop place to shop.
"And Adam said, this is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called woman, because she was taken out of man. Therefore shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh." - Genesis 2:23 24
"The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause? And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. They say unto Him, Why did Moses command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away? He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so." - Matthew 19:3,8
There is plenty in the Bible condemning polygamy:
"Neither shalt thou take a fellow wife to be a rival to her, to uncover her nakedness (have sexual relations)." Leviticus 18:18
"When you enter the land the LORD your God is giving you and have taken possession of it and settled in it, and you say, "Let us set a king over us like all the nations around us," 17 He must not take many wives, or his heart will be led astray. He must not accumulate large amounts of silver and gold." - Deuteronomy 17:14,17
In fact, it is generally presented as the downfall or torment of the man who takes more than one wife:
That's similar to what we pulled on a teacher at my high school. One time when I was fixing her computer for her, I installed a special program that we had created just for her a few weeks earlier. The program did this:
- Randomly chose a time between 10 minutes and 3 hours to run again
- Randomly chose one or more of the following actions
- Crow like a rooster (this turned up the volume to full before crowing)
- Eject the CD drive (whether there was a cd in it or not)
- Eject the floppy if it was in there
- Print a random amount of blank paper from whatever printer she had last printed to (usually the one in her office)
- Change the theme of her desktop
- Enable Active-Desktop and set the desktop randomly to a website
Ok, the problem I see with this is that it can potentially be abused by an organization. Take this example:
1. Make a cheap/crappy "widget" and give it away free to be reviewed by hundreds or thousands of popular websites. Make it so bad they can't help but review it.
2. Require a hyperlink to your website by those websites because of your right-to-reply. Your reply is simply an advertisement for the product.
3. PageRank on Google climbs so you are the #1 result when searching for "widget".
4. ??? (sit back and watch the orders roll in)
5. Profit
No, this isn't Sprint's long distance network. It is Sprint LTD (local telecommunications division). It also doesn't mean that any bug clogging the web will bring down service - this is not voice over the Internet. In fact, it is not even voice over IP. It's voice over ATM.
I'm not sure if you heard the entire story. The reason he was arrested was because there were firefighters in the entrance to the house and he broke a window (I believe - or opened one) to get in. This sudden additional inlet of air could have caused a backdraft-type situation (think about the movie). He endangered the firefighters lives by doing that - all for a dog which the firefighters themselves probably could have saved. It was reckless disregard for the safety of the firefighters. Heck, if someone put your life in serious danger at work while you were saving their personal property wouldn't you want them to be arrested?
I am quoting Paul - you are correct. Who's work is generally accepted by Christians as inspired by God. Also, he did not say you should not have sex with your spouse - though he did say that it was better to be single because of your unique ability to serve God and not be burdened by caring for a spouse.

Actually, you make a very good point. He did.
Romans 1:26-32 - 26. Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. 27. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.
28. Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. 29. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30. slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31. they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32. Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.
Seriously, what is this law trying to do? Is it actually a law to prevent a crime or is it just a way to increase the number of years criminals spend in jail? Do they honestly think that criminals will choose not to encrypt their communications to avoid breaking this law or are they hoping it won't change a thing so many criminals will do more time?
Because "Security Through Obscurity" is the only method of security asside from a mathematically proven source which has a possibility of 100% success. I'm not saying it makes a good defense alone but coupled with the correct software it is excellent. Take this example:
1. You have OpenBSD which one can assume has a finite number of attacks which could be used against it as it is a finite system. Therefore, if there is a security flaw it WILL be found in finite time.
2. You have OpenBSD but no-one knows you do. They have to assume that you could have 1 of any number (a number which is constantly growing) of systems. These systems have a constantly growing number of possible attacks. In order for one to attempt every possible attack they have to attack faster than operating systems (all of them) are being developed. This is not really feasible which means that if there is a security flaw it MAY be found in finite time (it may NOT).
Now, would you rather have a system in which a flaw WILL be found or one in which a flaw MAY be found?
Actually, it was "slashdotted" before it was posted here. I read it this morning and already then it was at a crawl. Could be because about 390 news articles already link to it?
Some of us didn't just "think" we'd make hundreds every month. Some of us saw this was a chance to get on top - I was making in excess of $600/mo when AllAdvantage.com shut down (all legitimately too). It was fun right up till I had to pay my taxes the next April. Ugh.

Three points on slashdot readers:
A) The activity of reading Slashdot and hacking code consume up to 1/2 of the creatures' waking hours, every single day.
B) The affected animals also exhibit other deficiencies (such as social abilities) and obsessive behaviors (toward Linux).
C) The entire lifestyle of these creatures is wildly altered by the addition of something as simple as a girlfriend into their cages... er... parents' basement.

Just a guess here, but I'm gonna say you paid cash for that tin foil hat you're wearing.
The Bible declares monogamy to be God's design:
"And Adam said, this is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called woman, because she was taken out of man. Therefore shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh." - Genesis 2:23 24
"The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
