I'm sick of hearing stuff like this - we're not all out there wasting money. As an Air Force member I take the cost of items I request and approve very seriously.
a group of people who yearn for the world to end in nuclear fire just so Jesus can come back?
I've heard this repeated over and over. Do you have any verifiable record that any mainstream Christian said this? Anyone? Max Lucado? Jimmy Swaggart? Who?
If you read his book, you may remember that he ported a BASIC interpreter to the Tandy (Z80 processor) in a weekend. He is a brilliant computer scientist, but an even more driven businessman. That's what I got from the book.
Agreed. One thing I like to remind myself is that Jesus is recorded to speak about sex, and murder and theft very few times, yet He spoke out against hypocrisy in 16 separate passages.
Why is this? Well, I guess integrity and honesty counts with God.
It's just a matter of logic that those with better education and critical thinking skills will be better equipped to select between multiple alternatives (science vs religion) on a rational basis
It doesn't have to be a choice. There is ample room for science and belief in God to co-exist. It's just that for some reason, fundamentalists on both sides reject it.
I'm reading a book by William Lane Craig that very eloquently bemoans the decline in academic rigor and philosophical maturity and sophistication in today's ministry education. It wasn't always so. The ability to discuss and explain both sides of a question without relinquishing your beliefs used to be and should be a prerequisite for any teacher, be he or she an educator of science or shepherd of a flock.
I keep telling my Christian friends that God has nothing to fear from science - if He is real (and I believe He is), than a fair and rational look at the world should point toward Him, not away. Obfuscation and anti-intellectualism is unnecessary and damages our credibility.
Bars in the United States pay either ASCAP or RIAA (I think it's ASCAP) a flat rate for playing songs in their establishments. The association actually has undecover monitors that check out bars and other venues and then sue if the establishment isn't paying royalties.
I really don't have a problem with this part... but arrests seem to go overboard.
Because many of Uncle Sam's employees have the tech skills of granny. Just like a home users, convenience often trumps security - "don't break the mission!"

On the one hand, The receipt does not necessarily have to show hwat vote was cast - it only needs to show the randomly assigned vote number. The log only shows the vote number and the vote cast. Therefore, the voter cannot prove to anyone which way they voted, so cannot be coerced.
The downside is that when an election is contested, the voter can only say they voted for Candidate Jones, not prove it.
I second the laptop advice. I bought a laptop ~6 years ago because I was going to be going on two 3 onth long military trips and didn't want to bring a desktop. Because I chose a poor vendor (Cybermax) I had to upgrade ($1800 ouch) a year later, but since then, I only use laptops. I can sit anywhere and program, surf, email, etc. I can take all of my school stuff with me on a business trip, and I can sit in bed and surf while my wife watches "Reality Tv Phenom of the week."
I'll never get another desktop unless I start gaming again.
I really think the added functionality of a laptop is more than worth the price for any average user. Of course, my kids have a desktop and I have a server as well, plus my wife has a 19" laptop, so maybe I'm not "average."
So, do you then support regulations or laws governing family size, either through punitive taxes or more Chinese-style childbearing laws? Forced sterilizations? I think in any such case, there would be a huge protest and revolt by the US citizenry.
Any U>S. politician even hinting at any such thing would be committing political suicide, IMHO.

The incompetent narcissist would almost always resort to heavy-handeed, if not despotic behavior when his incompetence becomes incerasingly more apparent. Narcissists can't stand to be thought less of, and they would use their power to suppress this.

Here's a hint. No system formed by the hand of man, is immune to the corruption of man's heart. Not one! Building a society (any society) on a foundation of weak character, is a recipe for disaster. That's why you're seeing the woe that the world's going through. Not because someone didn't pick the right political system.
Isn't that the whole point of systems and constitutions - to think ahead and plan the system to compensate. Admittedly, the rule of law must be paramount for that to work.
Cameras will be affected if they can read long filenames. I've changed the names of pictures on my SD cards before taking them into the photo printer. When I put the card back in the camera and scroll through the pix, the new filename shows up.
I love the show and catch every episode, but many episodes just don't stand up for a second viewing. Not all of them - 33 and Water I must have watched 5 times the first week after I saw them the first time. Others - eehhhh, not so much.
Someone else mentioned Simpsons. The first season, my roommates and I recorded every episode. As soon as the episode finshed, we would rewind it and watch it again. We must have watched "The Babysitter Bandit" episode 4 times that night.
No show since has had that level of rewatchability, and I doubt another one will.

And when the government requires children to read the bible and tells them that it's true, then you can have a sticker.

I would guess that as a rich nation, we should be better able to make the changes that can lower our C02 output.
I rented Dangermouse to watch with my kids, and it was sad for me not to get the same kick out of them. Sometimes memories are best left as memories.
You need an adapter: Newegg The laptop drive power pins are in the same pinblock as the data pins, so only one connector on the laptop drives.
