If Wikileaks continues on this course, it will make it easier for the US government to seize control of the internet on security grounds. They will have just enough support from the populace to get it done.
At the risk of feeding an obvious troll, no, C.S. Lewis simply didn't feel like defending Christianity against straw man arguments, hyperbole, or ignorance.
I wonder sometimes if the original writers of some of today's religious texts would be thinking "whoosh" when they heard that people thousands of years later are taking them literally.
I don't, because I've read the secular histories of Josephus and Tacitus, along with the archaeological evidence and literary criticism of the texts.
My tax money is being used to fund all manner of things I don't believe in. When it is, I try to vote out the culprits. A christian-theme park certainly does not constitute an establishment of religion.
That's the first. The federal government is not allowed to establish a religion and they are supposed to protect our rights to free speech, assembly, etc. from others through the courts.

You can vote for whoever you want. If the mob gets involved, see my statement above about the courts.

The East India trading company was a problem because they had the favor of the government. Take away the government's power to meddle in business. And if all else fails, see the second amendment.
Seriously, this idea is so dumb it belongs in idle. You know you're in trouble when the article starts with, "a group of academics". Sure, we all have creative brainstorms like this, but we have the courtesy of keeping them to ourselves until we have considered a few of the obvious issues. Like the existence of highly efficient freight trains, the difficulty of adding physical tubes alongside an existing infrastructure (including securing easements), and the high initial cost once again placed on the backs of taxpayers as no profit could be made from such a system. Sure, we all love socialism, but the fact of the universe is that we all need to eat so capitalism once again rears its ugly head when there's no food to shoot down our awesome PVC tubes. I can only assume either willful ignorance or flat out evil intentions when I read how such a system's efficiency is compared to a lorry when freight trains are the analogue to this type of system.
Replace "Democratic Party" with "Republican Party". The new establishment is a coalition of radicals that are remaking the USA into a national socialist state, and they're doing it by having taken over the Democratic Party.
FWIW, the US government wasn't buried in debt or routinely running massive deficits until Reagan/Bush Sr.
FDR. Also, LBJ who didn't allocate nearly enough funds for welfare. I mean, the projections for both SSI and LBJ's "War on Poverty" were laughably low.
Then Bush Jr. came along
His middle name(s) differ from his father; thus, not a junior.
and for the first time ever the government was stupid enough to start wars (which are really quite expensive) with not only no plan to pay for them, but while cutting taxes at the same time.
Congress authorized both wars. Congress also authorized a 787 billion dollar stimulus that cost more than both wars put together-- with no plan to pay for it either.
(I consider the modern Republican party to be nothing more than a scam that seeks power for the explicit purpose of perverting the United States into some combination of theocracy and corporate plutocracy. I hold the Democrats in marginally less contempt; At least they generally offer the people a reacharound while they're screwing us)
Well now, isn't that a logical, well considered argument to vote Democrat!
The Leaf is more innovative because it changes how we think about cars. It forces you to actually think about driving, instead of just going because you can.
The thinking happens before the purchase. Once I buy a vehicle, it should become a tool. I shouldn't have to ponder the impact of my driving on a daily basis, as if transportation was a religion.
Further, not only is GM losing a bit of money on each one sold, this is a good thing! GM is behaving EXACTLY like a start up, delivering an innovative product at a time when it's potentially very useful, and worrying about profits after marketshare and supply channels get streamlined. This is how Amazon became Amazon, how Tesla became Tesla, how Google became Google, how EBay became... you getting the idea yet?
You forgot pets.com, flooz.com, and a hundred other.bombs.
You need to backup 40 GB every day? Or is that just your current full set? You can backup just new/changed files; if you must upload backup "blobs", at least make them differential backups and backup the full dataset just once a month. Taking three days to upload data is acceptable if you do it seldom.
Well, while I still think their response is a bit goofy, you cement things to keep them from moving. Having your bomb move from where you placed it could be bad.

I think there's something inherently broken in CS departments. When studying music theory, we're taught the rules so that we know when to break them.

Argumentum ad ignorantiam.
I've met one who felt that way and read writings from several. Consider your argument invalidated.
Because even if death were guaranteed painless, it would be a tremendous change and most people fear change.
You do know the most important key difference between Islam and Christianity, right? Hint: it has to do with prophets.

They weren't in the ark for years. It was a year or just under a year.

If the backup data is physically located in the same area as the live data, it will likely also be destroyed.

This system isn't like a truck you can dump food on. It's more like a series of tubes.

Sadly, $9 billion is considered "very little" nowadays. http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE6AH5F320101118

And future taxpayer bailouts.
Wow! Can I bring my straw man with me?
If you're still running something like Windows 9x that doesn't have ACLs, you probably are terribly concerned about the security of your data anyway.

Not tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, or fires in your area, huh?

I didn't say every single little tiny syllable, no. But basically I said them, yeah
Kati Perry might, but Katy Perry is unlikely to.
