  1. No, it was on PBS' Nova on The Home Parallel Universe Test · · Score: 1

    It's the one where they discussed time travel. The best part of that episode was the discussion of the Nimtz experiment which showed the possibility of FTL (Faster Than Light) travel through Quantum Tunnelling. Now, only if I can get data packets to reliably pass through the tunnel in succession, I'll be playing the lottery.

  2. "If any man desires to come after Me... on RIAA Loss Report Contradicts Nielsen Sales Record · · Score: 1

    "...let him deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow Me."
    ...I Wonder what verse that is?

    Anyway, whether I Tim 6:10 hold a definite or indefinite article is of ill-consequence, because, according ot Matthew 6:24, "No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon."

    Most theologians recognize the word mammon to mean money or materialistic wealth. As a matter of fact, the NIV flat-out replaces mammon with money. In any regard, the reason that I Tim 6:10 is so often misquoted is because most of the time some Marxist wants to advance his agenda by making it more palettable to unsuspecting and - dare I say it - willfully ignorant Christians. But, the most important part about this verse is that whether you are Christian, Muslim, or Jew (yes, even Jews. Read Joshua 24:20 from the Amplified for a clearer understanding) greed steals from the soul and brings you closer to Hell.

    I think I'm done with the theological discussion, unless someone else has something else to add.

    That's not true. Don't you watch South Park? The reason Creed has an audience is because it's Christian Crossover.

    Well, if we learned anything from Monty Python, it's that: There are Jews in the world. There are Buddhists. There are Hindus and Mormons, and then There are those that follow Mohammed, but I've never been one of them. I'm a Roman Catholic, And have been since before I was born, And the one thing they say about Catholics is: They'll take you as soon as you're warm. You don't have to be a six-footer. You don't have to have a great brain. You don't have to have any clothes on. You're A Catholic the moment Dad came, Because... ...Every sperm is sacred. Every sperm is great. If a sperm is wasted, God gets quite irate. Every sperm is sacred. Every sperm is great. If a sperm is wasted, God gets quite irate. Let the heathen spill theirs On the dusty ground. God shall make them pay for Each sperm that can't be found. Every sperm is wanted. Every sperm is good. Every sperm is needed In your neighbourhood. Hindu, Taoist, Mormon, Spill theirs just anywhere, But God loves those who treat their Semen with more care. Every sperm is sacred. Every sperm is great. If a sperm is wasted,... ...God gets quite irate. Every sperm is sacred. Every sperm is good. Every sperm is needed... ...In your neighbourhood! Every sperm is useful. Every sperm is fine. God needs everybody's. Mine! And mine! And mine! Let the Pagan spill theirs O'er mountain, hill, and plain. God shall strike them down for Each sperm that's spilt in vain. Every sperm is sacred. Every sperm is good. Every sperm is needed In your neighbourhood. Every sperm is sacred. Every sperm is great. If a sperm is wasted, God gets quite iraaaaate! Actually, I'm more Protestant, and - as a member "of the Protestant Reformed Church, which successfully challenged the autocratic power of the Papacy in the mid-sixteenth century, we can wear little rubber devices to prevent issue." "...and, by wearing a rubber sheath over my old feller, I could insure... that, when I came off, (someone) would not be impregnated." After all, "...That's what being a Protestant's all about. That's why it's the church for me. That's why it's the church for anyone who respects the individual and the individual's right to decide for him or herself. When Martin Luther nailed his protest up to the church door in fifteen-seventeen, he may not have realised the full significance of what he was doing, but four hundred years later, thanks to him, my dear, I can wear whatever I want on my John Thomas,... [sniff] ...and, Protestantism doesn't stop at the simple condom! Oh, no! I can wear French Ticklers if I want....French Ticklers. Black Mambos. Crocodile Ribs. Sheaths that are designed not only to protect, but also to enhance the stimulation of sexual congress....I can go down the road any time I want and walk into Harry's and hold my head up high and say in a loud, steady voice, 'Harry, I want you to sell me a condom. In fact, today, I think I'll have a French Tickler, for I am a Protestant.'" But, I digress. Monty Python is great.

  5. Re:No surprise there on RIAA Loss Report Contradicts Nielsen Sales Record · · Score: 1

    Considering the relatively liberal use of the word 'pithy' found in the article, I'm sure Bill O'Reilly would find it of interest.

  6. More like,"What, no N-Patches?" on Refresh your Memory: Advanced Graphics Algorithms · · Score: 1

    I think the writer simply wanted to write a huge "smart" article so that he'd seem impressive. How can someone write an article on on CLOD without ever mentioning our friend Bezier? If someone wanted to write a "smart" article about graphics programming, he would have been better off writing one on GPU programming.

    When I first saw this, I had the same thought - although, I thought of bears primarily. I personally think that RFID might be more sensible; It's not just for false positive, but it also addresses the privacy issue, because some people want to get lost.

    I thought Tron was the weed smoker on the "Mad Real World." Wait... that was just Dave Chappelle.
