Actually it's the Bible that says so - and the Bible was written by man, not by God. (admittingly, this was taken from an Islam site, but this same evidence can be found elsewhere.) The old testament was passed via oral tradition many many times before being recorded. Most of the new testament (with the exception of Matthew, Mark, Luke, etc) was recorded in the same manner.
Let's see about homosexuality... Hmmm, nothing in the bible says it's wrong. In fact here is a site that addresses it:
Then let's take a look at what else the Bible tells us:
Numbers 31:17 "Now kill all the boys [innocent kids]. And kill every woman who has slept with a man, but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man."
Revelation 2:22-23 "So I will cast her on a bed of suffering, and I will make those who commit adultery with her suffer intensely, unless they repent of her ways. I will strike her children dead. Then all the churches will know that I am he who searches hearts and minds, and I will repay each of you according to your deeds.
Psalm 137:8-9 "O Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction, happy is he who repays you for what you have done to us- he who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks."
Isaiah 13:16 "Whoever is captured will be thrust through; all who are caught will fall by the sword. Their infants will be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses will be looted and their wives ravished."
23: And he (Elisha) went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head.
24: And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them." Damn children, making fun of a bald guy!
Now turn your books to Exodus: 12:29 And it came to pass, that at midnight the LORD smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle.
12:30 And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house where there was not one dead.
I'm also a 2003 Prius owner. When I first bought the car, I was averaging 44 MPG. As I learned to drive it more efficiently, I eventually reached an average of 48 MGP. Driving style does make a big difference. My commute is 13 miles one way, with 2/3rds of that highway miles.
On a side note, I love the drivers that can't stand the fact that I coast to a red light rather then brake hard when I reach it. They usually get ticked off and pass me, which just means I end up following them for the next several miles and wave to them every time I pull up behind them at the next light.
The CCNA course will teach you some general networking topics, but much of it is Cisco specific (down to knowing specific commands for different router/switch platforms.)
If you want the additional acronym on your resume, it is a good course to take. But if your looking for generic networking/protocol knowledge, you would be better off taking a course like Mastering TCP/IP or Understanding Networking Fundamentals. Those courses will focus more on the protocols and functions of various types of network equipment and less on Cisco specific commands and equipment.
What would happen if a crooked employee at Visualware used or shared this information? He now has a valid username and IP address (even if the IP address was NATed, you could match it with the web server logs to find the outside IP.) He can now fire up his favorite cracking program and have at it. If a vulnerability exists in VisualRoute, he now has a list of computers running it that could be exploited. Food for thought...
A plane design is the only way to carry heavy loads from space. The ballistic method severely limits the amount of material you could bring back. This isn't as big of an issue now, but originally the shuttle was designed to capture and return satellites for maintenance.
I think the question asks about the total cost of manufacturing/consumables used to run LEDs vs fluorescent vs incandescent bulbs. I'd also throw in the environmental impact as well.
Incandescence are pretty simple to make now and don't contain much in the way of harmful chemicals, just glass and tungsten (older ones used a leaded compound for the base.) But the monetary and environment costs of the electricity are high.
fluorescents contain mercury, but I don't believe they are too hard to manufacture (correct me if I'm wrong.) They are currently the cheapest to run from an electricity point of view, but LEDs are rapidly (yes, there is more electrically efficient lighting out there, but not in the brightness range that most offices and homes require.)
LEDs use some nasty chemicals to manufacture, but the end product is fairly harmless (it contains tiny amounts of some harmful things, but the LEDs last such as long time that, imho, the impact is very small when depreciated over its lifespan.
From a battery-operated point of view, LEDs are the way to go. Fluorescents require some bulky voltage and signal conversion and don't run the battery completely empty. LEDs are strong, light weight, and very energy efficient. Plus batteries contain their own nasty chemicals. I just can't wait for portable fuel-cells!
It looks like you need a processor as well as software to synchronize the activity of the two machines. Plus it has to be broadcast based, not unicast.
So if you play chess on a physical board via shortwave radio with another person you are fine. Likewise, you can play chess on two handhelds over a shortwave radio, as long as there isn't any software that automaticly synchronizes things. ie: each person would have to manually input the opponents moves.
Based on the vague patent, it looks like having a LAN party using wireless could be a patent violation depending on the game (the game would have to send and receive information via broadcasts and not unicasts.)
Blockbuster already tracks minors and restricts the renting of R rated movies. A parent has to specifically allow renting of R rated movies on the account. It wouldn't be too hard to extend this to video games.
Not that I'm in favor of this, but it wouldn't be that much of a burden on them. The mom and pop stores can just check ID for the M rated games like they are required to be doing for R rated movies.
Even if the Swiss did require some personal information to get a phone card, I highly doubt it would have helped catch Al Qaeda operatives sooner. It can't be that hard to fake information.
Every ISP should base charges only on how much traffic you send. That would give people a real incentive to keep their systems patched and secured. You wouldn't have to pay a ridiculous amount if you're on the receiving end of a DOS. You would have to pay if your systems get hacked or catch a worm though.
Alas, unless every ISP participated, this model wouldn't work well.

A 404 error? Yeah, that would be prior art... I think it was created in the middle 90's.

It sounds to me like God really hated kids!

Much more fun to simply swap wrist bands with every other kid you see.
