Are you suggesting that my mind isn't free because I don't fall in, lock-step, with what atheists are supposed to believe? In a way, I hope that is what you are saying, because it would be so deliciously ironic.
And no, believing in invisible friends do not make you more moral or ethical.
Um, did you miss the bit about me being an atheist?
It's not as if there is some secret dead-man's switch on the thing. Digital set top boxes can take firmware updates over the network. That's universal. If you can update firmware you can add features . . . or disable them.
What we call a hard drive uses Winchester Technology where the drive platters are sealed in an airtight contain. [sic]
They generally aren't sealed. Most drives have a breather hole. Presumably it is less objectionable to the manufacturers to have to restrict the operational altitude than to build them so they won't burst from a pressure change.
I don't think there should be an FDA, but so long as FDA approval is the difference between what is experimental and what is not, it is ethically unacceptable to us it on persons who have not accepted.
Furthermore, I requested one of their "opt-out" bracelets. The have completely ignored my request. I am a motorcyclist and I don't want it if I experience a trauma.
Also, you ignore the fact that they withhold it from 50% of potential recipients as a control. If we accept your position (which I don't) then this is borderline Nazi twins trials stuff.

The fact that I get your reference to an entirely unrelated cartoon may be the worst . . . shame . . . EVER.

Does this mean I can no longer buy all their playsets and toys?!

What is there to being an atheist besides thinking one's self an atheist?

Can we start harvesting skin grafts from coma patients now too?
This might (or might not, depending on risk) eliminate the "murder" question, but it certainly isn't a morally unambiguous practice.

PS: I'm an athiest.
Sure, this will work until someone comes up with an Average White Band exploit. Then it's useless.

Pick up a GSA catalog and hit yourself in the head with it until you have disabused yourself of this notion.

You can often fix stuck on pixels by pressing your finger firmly against that point on the screen.
If you have trouble hitting it move your line of sight to the pixel in question (to eliminate parallax) and try rolling your finger around a bit.
I don't think it works at all for stuck off pixels.

In fairness, the bracelet showed up yesterday.

Um, lack of consent?

One word: experimental.
I don't think there should be an FDA, but so long as FDA approval is the difference between what is experimental and what is not, it is ethically unacceptable to us it on persons who have not accepted.
