    Stop wasting letters on comments on those announcements. It is not what I come here to read.

    Just impersonate someone and say "read me the modem numbers" or "the number on that sticky note" and you're in.

    Which means you have to actually know about them and call them, instead of just running some spammer botnet or spreading a virus. Sticky notes don't work against targeted attacks, but it's good enough for thwarting most distributed attacks.

    Peaceful protests work because of the implied threats of violence. Once politicians learn that they can ignore them without any repercussions, they have no reason to act on them any more.

    This might be true. But for every smart hacker out there, there's a thousand script kiddies. You might not be able to keep everyone out, but if you have low end security, everyone will take a crack at it.

    In a nutshell, the RCC reads the requirement for a bishop to be faithful to his wife to *really* be talking about them being celibate and married to the church. Which is quite ridiculous, since those same passages talk about the bishop also needing to be a good father to his children (http://bible.cc/1_timothy/3-4.htm), but I guess once you start in on a metaphor, you can ride that train as long as you want to.

    To add to this, Paul also says in 1 Corinthians 5 verse 7 that you probably should get married, lest you'll be tempted. Arguably, the entire Catholic Church's problems with sex abuse is because they directly go against Paul's advice.
