I'm not so sure of that. I'm pretty damn sure Catholic theology is a niche topic, but due to the superior nature of the search engine, Wikipedia has become one of my go-to sources for good discussions on obscure theological topics.
Having said that- it does seem to me that just from a statistics standpoint, 100,000 English articles is a bit small for an online general encyclopedia. Perhaps they need to adopt Google's business model and start building out more datacenters.
If you're listening to it on a A2DP Bluetooth headset anyway, the sound quality is so bad that there's absolutely no difference between 8 bit mono encoding and 128 bit stereo encoding anyway.
If I want hifi, I'll stay home with my 5 speaker surround sound and 2TB network drive.....
I've got more than 50 hours of music in my collection- mainly encoded Vorbis or even old MP3. Cell phones have such a slow processor that a low bitrate is just fine, especially when played over a 1bit buffer bluetooth connection anyway.
In addition to that, though, I've devoted another 2GB to Librivox audio books.
I have a 32 GB SD Card in my phone. The reason? Because in Oregon, Cellular isn't ubiquitous. And because I can keep my entire 2GB music collection, plus several books, plus a bunch of other aps that don't need the net, on it.
This may be my main mistake. You see, I have Asperger's. I have no empathy.
Therefore I have to form my morals by logical assumptions.
The logical assumptions that have the longest documented history in the west is Catholicism.
I have NO idea how to form morals on my own from an imaginary emotion. And strongly suspect, based on the philosophy I've seen come out of atheism in the last 200 years, that atheists don't either.
This is rape and murder. Maybe not by society's definition. Maybe not by the liberalized culture that thinks tricking a 14 year old into baring her breasts on the internet is just good clean fun. Or that consent is always equivalent to permission. So as much as I consider what anonymous has done to be vigilantism; one cannot say that this man, or the teenage boy, or any of the rest of this poor girl's tormentors are innocent.
It's all tied together. Society's rejection of morality and ethics leads to this. Atheism leads to this. The culture of consent and contraception, leads to this. The only thing left to do is learn from it instead of repeating the same mistakes as the hippie generation.
The actors didn't even know what the movie was about. All of the anti-Islamic stuff was dubbed in during editing (which is why the actors appear to "float" above the desert- they were acting in front of a green screen).
I agree with you except: the dude was on probation for a separate crime and the terms of his probation were not to post ANYTHING to the internet. He did anyway. He needs to be nailed for probation violation.
Heck, it's not even limited to RELIGIOUS extremism.
". Just keep it away from impressionable children and most of all out of laws that may affect me. I prefer education and legal system to be rooted in reality."
The definition of reality promoted by some atheist groups is so narrow as to become fantasy. And the protection of your ears from other people's beliefs expressed in public isn't in the constitution anywhere.
A law that affects you greatly, that is based in the "fantasy" of the ten commandments: Thou shalt not murder. Do you seriously want to eliminate that law from the books?
One other thing you can save a ton of money on growing yourself, even off the windowsill under a flourescent light in your kitchen, is herbs and spouts.
For carbon cost- two season's worth will replace the cost of using fossil fuel to ship food into the inner city for you to consume. It's not just the pesticides, though that's nice too, it's the distribution of production instead of the distribution of finished goods.
Don't scale it up, scale it DOWN. Get this to window ledge sized, add 50 million apartment dwellers replacing a part of their food budget, and you've just increased food security while decreasing the carbon emissions with traditional farming, while decreasing obesity and increasing fresh food consumption.
Don't think mainframe replacement- think personal greenhouse.
There are only 7 billion people on the planet. There can, at most, if everybody lives like Bangladeshis, be 80 billion people on the planet. 128 bits is 3x10^38th, more than enough resolution to assign a DNA-based hash to EVERY unique DNA strand with no collisions.
Thought I had replied to this yesterday. My recruiters give me the names and numbers of hiring managers- because I work only with recruiting companies that work on commission, and they don't get paid unless I get hired. The only problem I have in this arena is with my 16 year resume, recruiters keep matching me to skills I haven't used in five or ten years.
Well, for example, I don't think there were many Catholic Theologians among the professors- Catholic social teaching would have fit salary to budget, not salary to some imagined subjective reading of the merits of the individual applying.
And, like I said in my earlier post- belong there. Give him a nice fat happy R&D budget and the ability to pick his own team, then replace him with more of a business type if that makes you happier.
I'm not at six figures, but I'm in the same market in the high 5's, and I think this perfectly describes both the 2001-2003 recession and the 2008+ Depression, which is now showing signs of letting up (in that I'm getting about 5 recruiting emails a week and only 2-3 would require me to move to the other side of the country to find work).

It's all rooted in reality. Skepticism is irrational because it denies reality.
Apparently you haven't debated this topic with people from Planned Parenthood recently. Near as I can tell, they're all about enabling statutory rape.

At least one person remembered that it was Tuesday!
And yet, the thread on alcohol sex proves I have a point.
Then why did Marx quote from the Bible?

Why would anybody bother with a CID or even fMRI when a DNA scan-and-hash will identify you to 128 bits of certainty?
In Oregon, the law requires all riders under the age of 16 to have a helmet.
But which would be incredibly hard to install later:
A faraday cage around the board room
