    FYI, I've been using iCH for about a month and their reliability is horrible. At least 50% of my incoming calls go to voicemail instead of my phone-- and yes, my Asterisk system is keeping registered just fine.

    Are you? Once the crime is started, the criminal is already liable-- you think they won't still make an attempt to get something out of it? After all, the police won't be there for at least a few minutes.

    Actually, it would be nice if Linksys made a PAP2 with some kind of cell support-- then, when you dial '911' have it route via the cell instead of the net. Add a emergency power-savings mode that only bridges the cell network, and you've solved the 911 problem completely (unless I'm missing something)

    When the power goes out, the cable usually still works. Just get a UPS for your router, cable modem, and VoIP device (if you want VoIP service) and you shouldn't have a problem. (I'm assuming your computer is a laptop, since power outage and no UPS leaves you with a computer?)

    God gave us logic and such to figure out the what is true and what isn't. Just because nobody can ever prove anything doesn't mean you should dismiss those items which have been proven (such as God's existence).

    And FYI, I am married.

    What nonsense is this? It's quite well-known that the crime rate decreases with gun legality and increases when guns become illegal. 911, however, does nothing to reduce crime-- nor is it meant to.

    If something is evil, it is evil. Likewise for good. It's not a matter of what I think is good or evil, but what actually is good and evil.

    Facts are objective realities. Even if everyone in the world were to deny it, it would still be fact.
    You misunderstand what opinion and fact are. I can have an opinion that purple is nicer than red. You can have an opinion that red is the best colour. But the Red Delicious apple is red regardless of what either of us think or believe.
    Beliefs (different from both facts and opinions) are our perception of fact. Once you research a topic, your perception of the facts involved in it gets closer to the facts themselves.
    Reality is not relative. It's ridiculous to believe something as obviously wrong as relativism (which is all based on the assumption that there are no absolute truths-- which is an absolute statement itself).
    In the end, yes-- everyone who doesn't see the truth is wrong in that issue. I know I have many shortcomings in what I know, but that doesn't make my research in other areas any less truthful.

    Catholicism is entirely factual. It doesn't matter whether I or anyone else knows it was founded by God-- the fact remains that it was. As for how I know, that's induction.

    I haven't "picked" it, I have been led to it and accepted reality as it is. If it were up to me to "pick" it, I'd probably screw up and pick something quite different. How is Catholicism so perfect? Simple: God founded it and has protected it from err. No other religion is founded by God nor completely based on fact.

    Then at least don't use M-W, which has in some cases the exact opposite definition for words. Besides, I suspect M-W only tries to be an American dictionary, not an English one.
