And that pure blood line back to Adam, well sure. But recall, that Cain went to Nod and found a wife there. And mitochondrial DNA is much easier to trace back. Because while we might get half our DNA from dad, we get the energy machinery from mom.
And that brings up another point in Genesis. If it was just Adam, Eve, Cain and Abel, then how did Cain migrate to Nod? Were the 'other' people in Nod not part of God's little social experiment?
Excellent job of explaining the reasons why belief in a religion is somewhat ridiculous, or totally ridiculous to be more precise.
I did my first 12 years of education in Catholic schools. They made a fatal mistake though. Sure they made sure we got our daily dose of religion, but they also taught us how to think in a critical manner. Of course they told us we shouldn't apply those thinking skills to religion and now I know why they told us that.
Come time for my confirmation I was restless because I already knew the material and when it came time to do the final interview with the priest, I flat out told him I didn't believe in any of the religious bovine effluent. They confirmed me anyhow.
And here we are, nearly 30 years later and I haven't set foot in a Catholic church other than for weddings and funerals.
A paper letter is usually best. It gets through the noise of the email that's sent. After you send the letter follow up with a phone call. No email.
You could send a letter requesting a meeting in person. If it's a local or state politician you have a chance of meeting them. And even the federal politicians still hold events in their states to press the flesh.
Sure, my laptop is younger than me and it too has 2GB of ram. I only run AdBlock+, Password Export, and Sage
And 320MB of RAM? I know my AVG 2012 bitches incessantly about Firefox using to much memory. And I regularly see plugin-container using excessive CPU. I know that's Shockwave Flash but seriously,FF has become a bloated piece of shit.
Still on 3.x too, 3.6.27 to be exact. I had upgraded to 10.0.2 but that is an utter piece of shit. Once example, when typing on a web page I can bang out a line of text and wait for it to render.
Mozilla is STILL maintaining the 3.x line because they know what a pice of shit 10.0.2 is. But I find myself using Chrome more and more. I do this because I think Mozilla is going in the WRONG direction. Firefox used to be fairly fast, and you could tame memory usage and cpu usage. Now it's a bloated piece of crap.
How much of the King James Bible was lost in translation to English. It's odd that certain languages don't have words for certain concepts and so in translation, something is lost.
The Bible we read today is the result of the Council of Nicea, and several other alignment efforts over time.
But I strongly suggest we all read the ENTIRETY of the texts within the Bible. Because only then do the outright inconsistencies and lies become evident.
For example, there's a vid on youtube (Which I can't find right now) showing the new cruisers that LAPD is using. They have ALPR cameras and software installed.
And I've spotted ALPR here in Providence, RI too. So it's widespread. So either mount a high gamma source near your registration plates, or better yet, paint a clear radium coating over the entire plate.:)
Yes indeed. There are a zillion ways you could defeat security. I remember back when 9/11/2001 happened. I was working for the Rhode Island Department of Attorney General at the time. We got all sorts of documentation on how you could hide weaponry on things that even TSA wouldn't scan for and that would get through scans without issue.
And to disrupt you really don't need a microwave system. Just load up Backtrack and go for broke. It's a pretty sure bet they'll use WEP!
Want to laugh? When I got my TRS-80 with the DC-1 modem I was using it to connect to a local install of NYBBLINK. It went belly up a couple months after I got the modem. So I was all WTF. My buddy had a Model III and he and I planned out a BBS on it, he wrote code to modify TRSDOS for an ISAM filesystem, and to do multiple RS-232, thus Syslink was born.
Syslink begat the entire RI BBS scene. I recall hours of testing on that one.
I went a different route. I had my TRS-80 Model 1 4K Level I, which I expanded out to 16K Level II. Added the Expansion Interface with 32K of memory boosting my total memory to 48K, plus had the floppy drives, voice synthesizer, voice input, X-10 controller. Had it modified to do lowercase too.
I understood the Z80 well enough to write a couple of little games in assembler for it too. And the Z80 or some variant is still used to this day. I note it most prevalent in alarm systems of all things. And calculators.
If you think the ZX-81 manuals were good, you should have seen the ones for the TRS-80! The book for the 4K Level 1 was good, but the one for the 16K Level 2 machine was fantastic.
It was there just after the U.S. Revolutionary War until about the mid 19th century, or just after the U.S. Civil War. In fact it happened just after 1868 and the passage of the XIV Amendment, you saw corporations try to push the notion that they too were people just like we animates. One seminal case was in 1886 in the case of Southern Pacific Railroad v. Santa Clara County.
In the case referenced, a clerk of the court was able to insert language into the court record which intimated that corporations were to be accepted by the court as people. And it all went downhill from there toward plutocracy.
That the law always lags technological innovation by at least 10 to 20 years. And when they do address it you get idiocy like SOPA and PIPA because our elected representatives aren't I.T. people and can't understand the chilling parts of such ludicrous legislation.
I just want sanity in the political sphere again. Randomize the whole damned 538 by pulling from a well defined subset of voter registrations. Then we'd be similar to Italy in that to get anything done, you'd have to form coalitions. It would also make it virtually impossible for corporations to continue to operate as a plutocracy because it is kind of difficult to buy off a few million potential candidates versus just two.
I will not buy an Apple product. Their arguments are pure bovine effluent. You could do the same in the U.S. But the thing they leave out is a huge environmental cost. And sooner than later, they're going to face the exact same thing in China and the rest of Asia.
Trunking also has an issue called blocking factor. In essence too many radios sharing the same set of frequencies. And one of the features of trunking is the ability to prioritize traffic. Causes many headaches!
I've always maintained that California and the entire northeastern U.S. would break away in the near term future. Politically we are all VERY different from middle America. I think a lot of it has to do with the settlement of the U.S. The coastal areas pretty much settled first.
I know it's an estimate but as we know, estimates have this way of being very conservative. So it means there's probably life elsewhere in just the Milky Way.
Granted, it might be single celled life, but it's life!

I use a CD to boot BackTrack. It's always safest if you do this on a machine with a disable hard drive.
If you're an infosec pro, it pays to use belt and suspenders.

And with Motorola Mobility it seems Google gets a nice little patent war chest. I can't wait until they sue Apple out of existence to be honest.

And use tune2fs to set the scan period to one greater than say 365 days. No more disk check!

Why? I grew up with gadgets, the primitive ones. I'm no more socially awkward because of it. And yes, I have 12 tabs open right now. So what?
Much of my knowledge of the Z80 came from disassembling the BASIC interpreter and TRSDOS operating system.

You can specify day/time options for wireless access. I know it's on Linksys routers. Probably Netgear too.

What the hardware used for LHC is going to spawn. High speed networking, storage arrays, things of that nature are going to be interesting.
