What would this do the the device's warranty? If I could get an iPhone coated in this stuff and have it not get damaged by water, that would be worth the $50-$75 this might cost... but if it voids my warranty to do so... part of the point is missed.
Might be redundant, but a search on just the term "Cuil" on Cuil.com turns up nothing in the first page... but somehow, Google, after it lists the news results for "cuil", the first result is a link to cuil.com...
I was thinking, why not give them their own little sandbox, where only users marked as 'troll' could see posts by other trolls?
So what, give them a "Troll" role, show them all the other troll posts that have been hidden from normal users and hide their posts from the general public, save moderators and others who can deal with trolls properly? Make troll posts an option to be viewable in the settings, and allow moderators to un-troll specific posts if it, by absurd chance, happens to be relevant.
It's a sneaky underhanded form of banning, which may actually work! I like it! By George I think he's got it!
You say it like people don't use and extreme one sided reading of the bible when they want to justify something and don't already suffer from a lot of misunderstandings.
You say it like people don't do that with EVERYTHING!;) Just listen to ANY news broadcast and determine for yourself if the information isn't being slanted one way or another. Distortion of truth for personal gain, whether in the Scriptures, media, law or anything else, has been a problem as long as man could think for himself.
(I use "truth" to mean, simply, what is empirically there, not the Truth of the scriptures.)
does anyone else think all we're doing is teaching animals how to take over the world? That'd be one for the Survival of the Fittest History Book indeed.
Thats it! I'll never try WoW, I was thinking in giving it a try but when a game tries so desperately to get on to your life you sure know It can be really addictive. Is this just by the monthly fee? Theres is no other way of playing? Set your own server? On a PIII machine like good old Quake2? Guess I'll never quit on Q2. -- Honestly, I don't see what the big deal is... we played the free trial, my wife and I, and it was fun... but it was also the same exact thing as a majority of the other MMORPG out there (free and pay2play)... maybe I just had the benefit of getting bored with that particular MMO model before trying WOW... but really... there was no crack for me in WOW.

yer doin it wrong...
Your post is gay, so you must also be gay, because you made a gay post, and only a gay person would make a gay post, notthattheresanythingwrongwithbeinggay... no...
Sounds like the perfect recipe for a priest or supplicant to me. Does that not sound like the very core definition of "unshakable faith"?
If by "unshakable faith" you mean the ability to do the right thing 100% of the time without ever thinking to do the wrong thing, then I believe you're correct...
However, if by that term you mean the ability to choose, despite strong opposition from the surrounding forces of culture and pier pressure as well against the very nature that corrupts the spirit we have, to do the right thing, and choose to follow, given the same circumstances, a supreme being... I'm going to have to say you're just a little off.
"Faith" from an artificial being is simply action, which on the surface may look good, but when comes down to intent is nothing more than doing the only things it knows to do.
Despite my disagreements with this in the religious realm, however, I can see something like this happen among certain groups who no longer have, among themselves, a desire for self sacrifice. What better solution than to make an artificial being capable of doing their task for them... it's rather abominable, I say.
My point is that a majority percentage of the world is hooked on Windows, and most of that percentage would prefer their computer to not be expensive. If HP's cost per computer goes up because they decide they want to market Linux to the home user, and Dell decides not to, the majority of people looking for a cheaper computer will go to Dell, because Dell is cheaper. More money per Linux box might be made, but would the overall profit of Linux boxes outweight the amount of sales lost? Probably not because most home users don't give a flying fig about Linux. (That is in NO way a personal stance. It's merely a stereotypical response of the average non-savy computer user.)

not sure where the $1000 came from http://gcaptain.com/maritime/blog/gcaptain-exclusive-shellbacked-ipod-touch-video/ at about 1:50 says $50-$75 depending on the size of the item...

A quick Google of "cuil meaning" turned up that:
Cuil (pronounced cool and meaning knowledge in Gaelic)...
Might be redundant, but a search on just the term "Cuil" on Cuil.com turns up nothing in the first page... but somehow, Google, after it lists the news results for "cuil", the first result is a link to cuil.com ...
And I typically got relevant results with little spam, but that may depend on what you are searching for.
Likely because they're using an indexing technique that people aren't abusing yet.
"Cuil" is a really dumb name. "Google" is a dumb name too, but at least its pronounciation is obvious to anyone reading the name.
But... but... it's so... COOL!!!11!!!!1
