You can't save everybody. Jesus himself said "The poor you'll always have with you." When you consider moving money into social programs, you have to ask: is the government the best steward of those resources? For bottom-up social programs, I think the answer is a resounding no. You don't have to look any further than the bursting-at-the-seams prison system and the 80-90% recividism rate.
Listen lad. When I came here all these lands were swamp. The king said I was daft to build a castle in a swamp, but I built it all the same! Just to show him! It sank into the swamp. So! I build a second one. That sank into the swamp. So I built a THIRD one! That one burned down, fell over and then sank into the swamp. But the fourth one... STAYED UP! And that's what you're going to get, lad... the strongest castle in these isles!
Seems like the best answer would be automatic load balancing between disparate servers. But how would we get the services to cooperate? E.g. rushlimbaugh.com not be too keen on sharing resources with cnn.com.:) And that begs the question, would the "rescuing" site be entitled for a fee for their failover support?
Depends on how old it is, and what you consider a "new XP" processor. My EPoX 8K7a is running a Thunderbird 1.33 GHz, but it will support--last time I checked--up to a 2200+ XP. That's the Palomino core. I don't know about the Thoroughbred core. Check your mobo's manufacturer's web site for da skinny.

Speaking in Tongues
·
· Score: 2, Interesting
Just a bit of info "from the horse's mouth" as it were...:)
It is VERY RARE that glossolalia (speaking/praying in tongues) is comprehensible to any mortal man. Scripture refers to it as "groanings that cannot be uttered", and that when "[your] spirit prays, [your] mind is unfruitful". I take that to mean you don't understand what you're saying, either. I know I don't when I do it.
However, there are scattered reports of someone delivering a message in tongues, which was followed up by the interpretation (as God commands there to be), but that the original message was comprehensible by one or more strangers who just "happened" to come to that specific church meeting, and heard speech from their foreign, exotic dialect. (a miracle)
Messages in tongues are, IMO, distinct manifestations of the supernatural from merely "praying" in tongues. Praying in tongues I believe is was is described as being used to "edify your spirit", and is what Paul was referring to when he said "I thank God that I speak in tongues more than you all." That means he had a extraordinarily vibrant prayer life, one that was immersed in the supernatural. Messages, in contrast, are brought to edify an entire body of believers (and to "wow" the unbelievers), but only when it is accompanied by the interpretation... otherwise, it's just gibberish.
So, Message + Interpretation functions the same as the spiritual gift of Prophecy, it's just a two-phase form of the same manifestation: a message from God.
1 Corinthians 2:14 "The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned."
I don't know how to fix a car, so I wouldn't tell a mechanic how to do his job.
I don't know how to speak French, so I wouldn't deign to correct a Parisian.
I don't think you have any basis to tell a spirit-filled believer that glossolalia is false.

I feel the same way about New York and California.:P Flaming liberals. Just go away, would you? You are the type of people the Founders left Europe to get away from.
> Would any kind of superconductivity begin to take place ?
No, because none of the compounds that superconduct at liquid nitro temps are in the motherboard. Some common metals do superconduct, but then you're talking liquid helium... which is VERY expensive.
I'd guess that we would store the bulk of the processor hardware in a pocket dimension (a la a tesseract, or a superstring dimension). Essentially the only thing you would need in the Real world would be the interface, and whatever hardware is needed to provide the dimensional interface.
> Would it be "best for the species" to kill any elderly person who is no longer contributing to society, but just sucking up resources?
> How about chronic mental patients?
How about the incompetent? If someone can't follow orders or do a good job, aren't they just taking up space? Or people who just are motivated to contribute to society in a productive manner? They aren't helping the species much at all, except maybe circulating some capital in and out of convenience stores and video rentals. --GAck
On the milestones page you see that M16 is labelled "feature complete", and rest of the work after that is bugfixing and optimization. How stringently they are/will be holding to that, dunno.

I have ~4 GB of MP3s, all of which I encoded from my [purchased or gifted] 110-disc collection. The only "quasi-bootlegged" MP3s I have are a track from a old Petra album I owned a long time ago but lost, and the intro song to Wing Commander I, which I also lost.

So if we conclude that society itself--i.e., private citizens--is the best source of humanitarian aid, how do we fund them? By lowering taxes.
You've almost got it.

OK, that's disturbing.
