You just mentioned three gods and then emphasize *one* God. Make up your mind.
Next please understand that evolution is "clumsy, wasteful, blundering low and horridly cruel". It is very very difficult to account for an omnibenevolent and omnipotent God within that framework.
"Scientists Find Long-Sought Majorana Particle" and they had all raided the vending machines down the hall and where found in their lab coats sitting cross legged in a circle each in turn sharing there own far-out theories of reality... "hey man don't Bogart that marjorana particle pass in on man".
Yeah I also received these calls... for puppies. I kid you not we had a litter of Boston Terrier puppies for sale in the local paper and they would call through an interpreter wanting to buy the whole litter to be sent to somewhere in Texas to an alleged Petroleum Engineer. After a few calls I smelled something fishy and told them to take a hike... only to receive another hearing- and speech-impaired call with a different story a day later.
I understand this completely. There is some cycle that kicks in around 11 PM and I am at my most alert state of the entire day - I call it my second wind. You might consider becoming a contractor or freelancing where you can set your own schedule.
BTW I have found backing away from a lighted computer screen around 9:30 and reading for an hour that i have a better chance of getting back on schedule.
The economy expands via the generation of new wealth not by doing things in the most inefficient in manner. The completion of the canal, if a worthy project, would have facilitated increased efficiency thereby generated more jobs and more wealth to spread around.
If they are going to include the frick'n writers of the virus that rooted one of my XP machines last week-end resulting in a wasted sunny September day restoring the system - I AM ALL FOR IT! - Throw the bastards away and keep them out of circulation.
In fact, if you consider the cumulative "loss of life" of thousands of people repairing virus intrusions I would think that capital punishment is not out of line.
Religion requires faith(different than proof) in order that participants engage it of their own free will. Free will being the requirement of adherents in order to assess, the capacity for devotion.
You mean capacity for credulity... the ability to believe all sorts of crazy shit as a means to preserve your ego forever. Faith in and of itself has no value. The reason why religions attempts to promote "faith" itself as having value is that is the only way you can get a religion off the ground that does not have any real evidence.
since faith is a requirement.
Faith is a requirement because the hawkers of religion don't have any evidence to back their claims. Faith is something we strive to reduce by understanding and knowledge not something that has intrinsic value.

From the fine article Kodak says "We are committed to protecting these assets from unauthorized use,"
Translation: We want to make money off a really obvious idea because we missed the digital almost entirely and haven't found a way to be truly innovative.
China? Yeah that is great idea. Why would you suggest China?
For one thing the recent wikileaks embarrassed China more than any other country. Second China is not known for its high minded principles of freedom of information and transparency of government.
My Boston Terrier, who is my running companion, is very good at anticipating up coming trees or sign posts and figures it out and knows if she is leashed or not. She didn't figure this out until was a over a year old.
However the event that still has me scratching my head was last winter when my wife and I went hiking in the woods with our dog. We leave our dog off leash.on these hikes as she usually stays within 10 to 15 yards. We were back 2.5-miles per my GPS through thick trees and no trail when she disappeared as we topped a ridge. We went frantic looking and calling for her but she was gone.
Finally after dark approached we left extremely sadden to have lost our little dog to what I suspected was a coyote or cougar. We tracked our way back to our truck in the dark and as we approached my wife noted that something was on top of the cab of the truck. I took a second look and the dog was standing on the cab wagging her tail in the cold and dark very glad to see us. Somehow she got separated from us, maybe being chased by predator, figured out that she needed to get back to our vehicle, found her back without a trail and then climbed on top for safety. She is a small dog and she took several attempts to make it up as I found scratches on the hood the next day.
Very true... I think on Sept 26 should be Stanislav Petrov day in all of North America. We should each send him $1 every year as a reward for his restraint, cool-headed judgmental and rational thinking.
I lived next to a B52 base back in 1983 and would have mostly been incinerated. A cheer for Stanislav! Where ever you are.
Crap i had a rant all prepared and you go and take the fun out of it....
Seriously this type of reporting is akin to all those emails I get from my Tea-Partier Mother-in-Law and I have to take time to let her know she is spreading lies and misinformation in order to incite and such is harmful to a democratic system of government.
Darl McBride's new corporation, OCS, will buy all of the assets at auction for a fraction of the original cost, and continue exactly where he left off with the lawsuits, only this time with a brand new credit rating and no debt to bog him down.
True, from the wiki on McBride
"On April 9, 2010 McBride purchased the SCO Mobility intellectual property from The SCO Group for $100,000"
An asset that McBride had before referred to being worth millions.
The design of the brain is encoded in the genome in the same way that the design of a 4KiB program is encoded in its load module: useful for running the program on its original hardware.
Can you explain how the genome is comparable to a "load module"? I think your analogy is flawed.

Well now you have an excellent subject (as per the OP) to write about for this month blog entry.
CB radios died out because there was nothing to talk or comment about. I don't think you can compare the two.

Nice thanks for that.

Super or not if they are idle give them the boot... It sends a message to the rest of the computers that they may be next.

Well of course one should stay away from Google because facts are damaging to fear-based conspiracy theories.
Come on give Weird Al his due

I despise Godaddy's upsell hell interface and their advertising is crude. Anyone here have recommendations or share experiences on alternatives?
we pick up and vacuum up the pieces of broken CFLs without hazmat suits all the time,
Actually vacuuming is the one thing you are not suppose to do!

"Pimple on the face of humanity."
That's a rather delicate way of putting it. I confess to having a lower opinion.
You mean like a pimple on a lower part of the anatomy?
Yeah it sounds a bit over top. Like maybe someone is paranoid or just into fantasy.
Besides the weak link is the internet connection.
