I'm willing to convert once the following is fully explained:
Consider the great flood of Noah. After the flood, assuming that the entire Earth was covered with water to the highest mountains (15,000 ft or so), how did that much additional water make its way into the vapor phase?
Also, since there is a relationship between temperature and the amount of water that can be held in the vapor phase, how hot would the Earth need to be to put all of the water used in the great flood into the air -- so that it could rain and flood?
Considering the mass balance relationship between phase changes, where did the water go once it rained and the floods receded?
Since oxygen at current surface concentrations is toxic at swimming depths of a few thousand feet, how did Noah survive the change in pressure when all of that new water mass was in the vapor phase? Why did the toxic atmosphere not kill him and his animals?
Assuming now that God can do anything, why did Noah get the story so wrong? There must have been other things to write about in regard to the event, aside from it is raining/flooding and I built a boat. Where are the details in regard to the suspension of all physics during the event? Wouldn't he have noticed?
Oh, man thanks. eMusic is just what I have been looking for, though not with any real effort. I have been wanting a search by record label for a long time... since the cdnow days. I'm huge music junky and I refuse to use P2P... that crap isn't even worth stealing, Low bit rate Hillary Duff, it is hard to imagine life being much worse.
I had a Divx player and I really liked it. The movies were very cheap... and it sure beat paying late fees to the rental joint. To me, it was the same as renting a DVD, except with Divx, I didn't have to return the media. However, I can see how the watch-n-toss use of the disks would be bad for the environment.
By the time this thing is released apple will have sold close to two billion songs. So if we all buy their player, sell it on ebay, then M$ will have to buy some two billion songs for nothing. Bummer for them. I wonder if you could do this more than once?
Hair-splitting. Suppose you copy an article from a journal. The whole article is copied, however not the whole periodical. By that same rational you could copy a portion of the CD and be OK. However, the point I was responding to was the notion that if don't pay for something you don't deserve benefit. And, the rational behind libraries and museums is contrary to that point. Enrichment with the arts is for everybody.
(301) 688-6524 it is the public affairs office number at the NSA. If we all just set our voice mail to forward to the NSA they will get what they want... and we will get what we want... an all out phone jam at the NSA switch board... nevermind... I forgot they are the mother of all switches.
Agreed. If they actually spoke about the real issues, then the people might hold them responsible, responsible for the mess they have created. At this point the issues can only unseat an incumbent.
The three stooges' defense to an eye poke is defeated by using two hands for the poking.
The mirror needed to defeat a laser would have to be reflective over the entire spectrum -- an impossible feat for any material. All materials absorb at some discreet frequency. The laser frequency might not be in the visible band such that the mirror wouldn't be reflecting anything. Let us hope our enemy's sleep through quantum mechanics and make these kinds of assumptions.
Although the super lensing cloaking device might be a good counter measure -- provided that the polarity and frequency of the incoming beam can be quickly determined. It is kind of cool that weapons are going to have star trek sounding counter measures.
I had my DNS services die on my powerBook G4. I think the box was hacked and it was my fault. I installed some theft tracking software and the supplier recommended a default account with no password and auto login -- so if the laptop was stolen the theif could us it and be tracked. However I spend so much time pissing on 419 scammers my machines are under constant attack. Once I had a user with no password, then it must have been hacked up through rights elevation type hacks. It was easy to fix with the computer migration tools.
So, What you are saying is "The Postulates of Quantum Mechanics are Wrong", and "Newtonian Mechanics are Wrong." Therefore, I ask, what is correct? I'm assuming you know, becuase you bashed the procedure.
The bay and its band of pirates might eventually damage the finances of Tom Cruise and Scientology... that can't be tolerated and must be stopped. I can't afford for the cost increases on my e-meter that are sure to come as a result of lost licensing revenue.
Isn't pricing by country evidence enough of price fixing? Why are songs sold through itunes in Japan a different price than the US? Why is the UK different? Why is Soviet Russia different... Uh, nevermind about Russia. I hope M$ and Apple both insert a huge anal probe into the RIAA -- neither one of them like there deals (I'm just guessing, maybe they do like the deal). I hope that DRM is found to be a monopoly making technology and is banned. I also hope that the beggers get to ride.
My OSX laptop recently blew-up. I thought it was a virus. I found previously invisible executables all over the place in the back up file. I suppose some one could use this shell script to save source code to disk, compile, execute, destroy. In my case DNS was broken. My machine wouldn't resolve a DNS lookup in safari or mail. However I could call lookupd in the terminal just fine. It was really weird. I gave up trouble shooting and installed sys from scratch.
I don't think the Republicans are Republicans any more. A few years ago I heard Rush Limbaugh say that fiscal conservancy was liberal value. The incubent Republicans have yet to provide more liberty, less government involvement, and fiscal conservancy. They have grown the government and have begun to insert endiscopes up our collective butts.
Cylons. These scientists are out of their fracking mind. Don't they know that this is going to throw a serious wrench into the colonists ability to reach earth.
can't wait for the US to declare that the after-life is supporting terrorism and therefore should be destroyed... or at least liberated... blowed-up either way.

The US was colonized by a group of people that were considered to uptight for England. What did you expect from America?

Sometimes the glass used in quality watches is made of sapphire - aka transparent aluminum.
Awesome. I hear Bora Bora is a paradise filled with fruity cocktails and topless women.

I just called Brad -- I got through -- what is going on -- where is the /dot?
By that reasoning, should music be removed from libraries? If copying for personal use is wrong, then why do libraries contain copy machines?

That is the number to which my cell phone is forwarded ... So the NSA thinks I have a pathological interest in the time.
An impossible concept only invented like a hundred years ago. Next, they will be charging things known as capacitors from the induced current.

in my ass. I'm now a super cyborg with an 800 mhz back side bus.

Seemed to work just fine. Why not copy that?
