You are only addressing half of the name (Pod). The "casting" part is what will make this word endure. Let's face it: It's darn clever. Rhymes with "broadcasting," and you can guess the meaning based on the form. For that reason it will stick around.
Jack writes "ITO is reporting that Sober is scheduled to attack on January 2006 - the data coincides with the 87th anniversary of the Nazi party: "The next planned widespread of 2005's most prolific e-mail worm, Sober, is scheduled to start on January 5, 2006 based on commands hard-coded within the worm. The attack date coincides with the 87th anniversary of the Nazi party.""
Wait, could you run that by me one more time, please?
I guess by Massively Multiplayer they mean "like 5 or 6 of your buddies."
I just cannot see anyone getting a large community of players together without a large development and advertising budget. Large development budgets also lead to independent, customized systems with total control, which is the opposite of the Multiverse concept.
a local kid decided to steal software with his iPod. The kid walks into an Apple store, plugs in his iPod to one of the demo machines, and downloads all of the expensive software (ProTools, Photoshop, etc.). I guess he eventually got caught but there were no charges pressed (probably had something to do with the fact that he did not agree to a EULA, haha).
That is to say that the conveniece of plug-n-play mass storage (whether it be usb stick, camera, iPod) can be a major security risk. Add that to unsecured systems running as administrator (or root, etc.) in the workplace or showroom, and you have a great potential for mischief.

This guy's comments are not an isolated incident. Intelligent design has led to more logical fallacies (especially ad hominem attacks) in the mouths of scientists than anything else in memory. I guess the subject just angers them so much that they feel compelled to blurt out idiotic non-sense.
Likely the powers-that-be would know about your new line and tap it as well. It is better to let them think they are tapping you, when in reality you are circumventing the system.
Instead of suspending the power supply with pain-in-the-neck string, just turn off the heat in your home. That way you will not have to worry about the 360 crashing, and you will save some money on heating bills. Plus, if you keep the power supply in your lap, you will be plenty warm anyhow. It's the perfect solution!
Perhaps I should have worded that differently. My understanding of the idiom "a matter of conscience" is that it is fact which must be firmly held within the person without outside coersion. In other words, some should proclaim what they believe to be true, and they should not vary or equivocate based on pressure from either side. "To thine own self be true." That is the conscience I am talking about.
but I'm not sure how to approach this without alienating the rest of the church. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
"By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible."
~Hebrews 11:3
Apparently people had trouble believing that God created the universe long before Darwin was around. This is not a new problem. Creation science and ID proponents think that by discrediting Darwin's theory about the origin of species they can "solve" this problem for humanity.
I definitely believe that God purposefully created the universe and its contents. I believe that he "designed" all the species of life. How he did it all, I cannot know for sure. And much to my chagrin, science does not seem to back me up on this belief. I still believe it, though.
The ultimate truth that is being conveyed by the first chapter of Genesis is that God created the universe. If you strip away all of the details, that is the central theme. And I believe that is the only thing necessary for Christians to believe about the origin of the universe. If you do not believe that God had any hand in creating the universe, however, that has serious theological implications.
The topic is worth debating, but it is not worth fighting over. A Christian's beliefs about the mode of creation are a matter of personal conscience and cannot disqualify that person from the salvation which comes through Jesus Christ.
OK, suggestions is a nutshell: 1) Engage in rational debate. 2) Do not fight or scream or result to ad hominem attacks (do not harm your relationship with other members of the church). 3) If necessary, agree to disagree. Don't beat a dead horse. This works for me in discussing politics in the church, so it may cross over to science.
I oringally picked this up from Technocrat, a slash site where Perens is an editor/author (I added that fact in the post but it was scrubbed by CowboyNeal). His headline was as follows:
Richard Stallman gets in trouble with UN Security for wearing a tinfoil hat.
I wanted to preserve his concept while still getting the story out to the greater Slashdot community. Perens wrote the headline knowing full well it was aluminum over his name badge. Here is how I interpert his intention, and why I did it how I did it.
1. The difference between aluminum and tin foil is irrelevant. RMS was trying to make a point, and aluminum foil was all that was available.
2. "Tinfoil" hat was was indicative of its function, not position. Or perhaps this will help: he put a tinfoil hat on his badge. Anyway, the location of the foil is not the point of RMS's action nor Perens' post.
3. It's funny. Laugh.
Did Steve Jobs offer to have OS X running on AMD chips? I presume that Apple already knew what processor the $100 laptop would have. I do not know the ins and outs of Apple's agreement with Intel, but I wonder how they feel about this. Still, since Apple is not actually manufacturing the laptop, I guess they can run their OS on whatever they want. Still, it is interesting to note that Apple would considering running OS X on AMD products.
Why do we assume that if a computer takes over a task that a human once did, that human has been "replaced?" Really what has been "replaced" is the acting agent. It is sort of sad that we equate someone's job with their actually person.
More than two years after Janine Sutphen's body was discovered floating in a Raleigh lake, investigators continue to find new evidence on computers seized from Robert Petrick's home that prosecutors say support their arguments that Petrick killed his wife.
Last week, a forensic investigator discovered that Petrick allegedly researched lake levels, water currents, boat ramps and access about Falls Lake just four days before he reported Sutphen missing on Jan. 22, 2003. ~http://www.wral.com/news/5287261/detail.html

Indeed, the Greek adjectives allos or allotrios ("another" and "alien; foreign" respectively) may serve better in this place. Perhaps the meaning has changed due to the context of the conversation. The theory of "panspermia" would deal with how all life was "seeded." An extraterrestrial source is an option of "panspermia" I suppose.
5. What is this bullshit about journalists not talking about the causes of the social problems? All French newspapers, TV and radio news are just talking about that!
They must have that stange "journalistic integrity" thing in France. We had that for a while in the US, but it didn't sell the adverts.
The news in America, particularly television news, is looking for sensational content. Since the upper/middle class in America does not want to hear about social injustice in France, Fox News and the rest need to enter the "No Spin Zone" and add a tremendous amount of spin. Consequently in American popular media the riots are not about class, race, or economics, but about Extremist Muslim subversives stirring up unrest in Paris. No doubt some assinine comment is coming from Bill O'Reilly: "They thought that by staying out of Iraq they could avoid the terrorism problem, but bin Laden brought it to their front door anyway."
So in order to keep Lexus, Pepsi, and the other advertisers happy, many problems are blamed on "Al Qaeda" (whatever that actually is). For instance, there is a big debate about curbing illegal immigration in the Southwest region of the United States. Proponents have cast it as a national security risk, saying that terrorists could enter the country from Mexico. Of course all the 9/11 terrorists were issued visas by the US government, but that is not what they want you to hear. They want you to keep tuning in to Fox news and to keep buying Fords and drinking Coke.
Capitalism run wild is a major source of decay in American journalistic integrity.
Copy Plain Text is up there as my number 1 or 2 (fighting with adblock, of course). It is so annoying for me when I copy something out of a webpage, paste it into some type of document, and find that all the HTML formatting has come with it, causing a bomb to explode in the middle of my otherwise clean page. In other words, Copy Plain Text is slowing my rate of hair-loss.
