    This is the age where both creating and copying are easier than ever but he never said creating was as easy as copying, just that creating is easier than creating ever was before, except for stepping on a copyright land mine.

    You are usually having a dialogue with someone over the phone, so you might not be able to plan ahead after the initial statement,

  4. My distaste for phone calls on Don't Hate the Phone Call, Hate the Phone (And the Network) · · Score: 2

    I don't like phone calls, not because they demand your immediate attention, but that it's hard to go back over what's been said and gives you no mechanism to figure out exactly what you want to say before you say it.

    Ever since I learned about Vannevar Bush's "As We May Think" published in The Atlantic and available online on their site, I have felt that The Atlantic has been doing a good job.

    You essentially say that self-produced music, by which I think you mean music by people who have no intention of making a living, is trash. I say that it is a mixed bag that would be improved with the right software tools, while the money-extraction encrusted music is trash.

    The funny thing about having to do something is that you only have to do something if you want something and his statement is perfectly valid in trying to identify what results in the best outcome for them and society at large. That's right, society at large. If you want to participate in a society, you have to learn how to be responsive to the constantly changing situation of that society.

    Don't pretend you aren't being subsidized by the rich as well. Your tax dollars don't even begin to cover the things you use or are used on your behalf. For example you may not use many of the interstate system driving yourself, but the trucks that bring things you buy do. Then there are farm subsidies and I don't know how many others.

    Which God?

    And regarding your web page, what do you have against eating beautiful things? And also how could you tell it was God telling you "good news", and not some person some distance away from you that was talking to some other person or just a voice that you imagined? And as for, "while I was driving, I felt unable to turn my eyes to look at billboards or be distracted from the road." my mom drives like that too. How often do you not drive like that? If your dad had legal ownership of that Bible you've probably seen it before.
    If "The Bible is God's infallible word, and that he guided the translators perfectly to copy it," how come there's so many different translations in English alone?

    The exact relationship between the Book of Isaiah and any such historical Isaiah is complicated.[a] One widespread view sees parts of the first half of the book (chapters 1â"39) as originating with the historical prophet, interspersed with prose commentaries written in the time of King Josiah a hundred years later; with the remainder of the book dating from immediately before and immediately after the end of the exile in Babylon, almost two centuries after the time of the original prophet
