And if it turns out they're just taking the intellectual property of others - including Linux and yes, Intel - and not returning it to the group, they'll find that people will not be as interested in playing in their sandbox.
They have a Billion people. What makes you think they care?
Wrong. This is a rehash of the copy protection issues of the 1980's and early 1990's. Why is it no longer an issue? The industry settled on a convienient and copyproof (or so they thought) format that did not mandate all this DRM crap. After a few years they found out that copying was a non-issue.
Ironicly the software distribution format they settled on was the cd.
In an effort to close the anolog hole, media providers are introducing legislation to mandate the replacement of eyes and ears with digital input devices...
In your words, don't be a fool. It takes a hell of a lot more evidence to be convinced of the existence of an omnipotent, omniscient being that leaves no sign of physical existence, than the existence of a particular human being.
If God appeared before you in the flesh, with an Angelic host proclaiming His divinity, and an army of the Saints attesting to Him. You would come to the only possible conclusion.
I have lost my mind.
There will never be enough indisputable evidence to convince you. If nothing else you will dispute the evidence of your own senses. You will demand proof after proof after proof, and still you will not be convinced. If you found yourself before the very Throne of God you would not believe.
So tell me, why should God try to convince you?
Don't be a fool. He knows your every thought before you do. If you desire to be one of His bretheren then He will help you, if you do not then He will stand back.
Ah, the wonderful theistic tautology. If you believe, then you will believe. You know, if you want to be one of Allah's bretheren enough, you will end up one, too. (If you don't, then you didn't really want it.)
You know that's not what I said. If you wish for help, ask. Help will be given. Using scientific methodology to settle the question of whether or not God exists is like using a hammer to drive screws. The method is inappropriate.
Are you really equating the evidence required to believe in the existence of God, to the evidence required to believe in the existence of Julius Caesar?
In a word, yes.
You sound like God had something to hide.
No, God has nothing to hide that we can understand. BTW I'd like to know you better, now if you'll just strap yourself to this dissection table here...
Then he'll understand when people don't find the evidence convincing, won't he?
Don't be a fool. He knows your every thought before you do. If you desire to be one of His bretheren then He will help you, if you do not then He will stand back.
I can't speak to your state of readiness. I was not there, in truth only you can really answer that question. As to requiering evidence before you believe, well then, prove to me Julius Caeser existed. Historical phenomena are rarely subject to scientific experimentation. Scientific experimentation to prove/disprove the existance of God amounts to a hostile cross examination in a court of law, and God has no requirement to be there.
Sorry, it's late around here and I flashed back to the whole discussion about micells back in the late '70's early '80's. The plasma things are interesting, but, until some means of transmitting information to future generations is found, life it will not be. i thought the article itself was trivial.
Don't be a dolt. Do you really think God is going to sit and wait for you to complete your experiments, decide the data was somehow biased, and then conclude that it's all baloney anyhow? Be serious, when you are ready to speak with God, then he will be there for you. In the meantime, all your scientific experimentation will do you absolutly no good.
A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a miraculous sign! But none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.

Sounds good to me. Mind if I publish your personal letters and journals and make money off them? No, of course you wonln't, because they're not your property, right?
I have no problem with you breaking into my house to get that stuff as long as you understand that, I will shoot you...
That's too bad. I always thought of BSD as the pioneering FOSS. BSD and GNU(later GNU/Linux) both had their start at the same time and in response to the same problem (AT&T raped the Unix community). BSD just managed to get a full OS out there first.
Show me a paper and not anecdotal information on an anecdotal article.
I have charts showing spurious peaks due to RF interference. I also have a sensitive detector for RF interference, I call it a radio...
It's called a FARADAY CAGE and is available for a mere $999,999,999.99! For that low low price we will CHEERFULLY place your device inside a grounded metal box.

Thank you.
The law was not established to protect people like me from criminals. The law was established to protect crimanals and society from people like me.

True. Science has nothing at all to say about God.

I.) Metabolism (or energy flow). A fire meets this criterion.
II.) Movement. Again a fire meets this criterion. Plants also meet this criterion, by growth.
III.) Anabolism (growth). A fire meets this criterion.
IV.) Reproduction. A fire meets this criterion too.
V.) Irritability (or responsiveness to changes in the environment). A fire meets this criterion.
VI.) Inheritance (the ability to recieve information, somehow, from previous generations). A fire DOES NOT meet this criterion.
The inablity to meet any of the above criterion means the thing is not alive.
I read the article. Big deal, he lit a fire. This is why I think too many people are being published.

As you pointed out it's easy to make money robbing people, especialy when the law allows it.
That statement is a terrorist act. I say the PUNishment ought to fit the crime.

I will mourn the passing of BSD.

The short answer for a commercial airplane is, yes, it's impossible. Unless of course you want to pay really big bucks for your ticket.
