  1. Re:Well good on Federal Judge Rules Against Intelligent Design · · Score: 1

    The overwhelming majority of theists believe in certain acts and attributes of god which CAN be disproven. To get around this they inevitably make god a vaguer and vaguer object. This creates a whole new problem: how do you know this? They, of course, don't. They've simply taken the traditional diestic views and stripped out the problematic bits leaving an unprovable mass.

  2. Re:Problems are over-hyped on Requiem for Usenet · · Score: 1

    not all of Usenet is binaries groups where people can rip material illegally if P2P is too hard for them to understand

    If you're having too much trouble with Kazaa and Bittorrent there's no way you'll figure out usenet.

  3. HERF guns just another urban myth? on Build Your Own HERF Gun · · Score: 1

    According to http://www.soci.niu.edu/~crypt/other/kooks.htm HERF guns are just another urban legend that a gullible mass media has fallen for:

    "Interestingly, an EMP gun inventor, David Schriner, showed up on ABC's 20/20 in mid-February 1999 to demonstrate the effects of it for an overawed Diane Sawyer. After donning fancy protective suits and unusual-looking copper mesh headgear, Schriner tested his weapon on Sawyer's corvette and a white limousine. At a range of about 5-10 feet and with the weapon pointed directly into the automobiles' open engine compartment, Schriner's electromagnetic pulse gun made Sawyer's idling corvette . . . run roughly."
