    It has to be certified by the state health department for storage and transport of human remains. doing that as a one off today will cost you rather more than your materials. and yes, for $40 of materials, but how much time, and how much does that time cost on a commercial scale.

    An open wireless network is like a park bench sitting on the public sidewalk. If you don't want people sitting on your precious park bench, then put a sign up. Better yet, move the bench into your own private space, secured by a fence, lock, property line or whatever.
    And My mod points expired today. Thats the correct analogy.

    I would tend to agree with you. and go a step further. Christians, scientists and otherwise fall back to the mandate from Genesis

    Gen 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
    and many of us would apply the "dominion mandate" to all creation, not just the sphere of the earth.

    Thats natural selection, Creationists do not dispute that fit creatures(created things) survive and unfit creatures don't.

    the question evolution fails to answer and which makes it counterintuitive is "Where/How/When did it all start"

    Actually if you've had Red cross training, you'd know that cardiac arrest does NOT necessarily mean respiratory failure.

  24. Re:Nice Disclaimer on Open Source Federal Income Tax Software · · Score: 1

    Most people are just afraid of numbers and forms, and they are worried they'll put the wrong number in the wrong box.

    personally, I do mine on paper around the middle of december(using estimates from my november pay stub) and just use turbotax to autofill the forms and e-file. Rarely turbotax will give me something I didn't think of, or will deny something I thought I was due, but the explanation makes sense and I press. Between my various retirement saving plans(for me and my wife) I've got a near zero tax burden anyway, so its just putting the right numbers in the right boxes.

    On top of that, my wife was unable to find work in the public system. The Catholic schools require her get a letter from a priest, so that's out.
