The Bible is like your god's version of The Davinci Code, and you have been chosen by your god to decide which passages are literal, which are allegorical and which have to be manipulated to match the ones you decide are correct.
Oh, and here's an explanation of why you're wrong.
Well, it looks to me as though one of these is false:-
# The Gospel of Matthew says that, after Jesus' arrest by the Roman authorities (but before his execution), the guilt-ridden Judas returned the bribe to the priests and committed suicide by hanging himself.
# The Acts of the Apostles (1:18) says that Judas used the bribe to buy a field, but fell down, and burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out. This field is called Akeldama or Field Of Blood.
Time to stop considering the Bible as fact, I think.
I think you might be missing the point, but thanks for showing another reason why adding extraneous detail to perfectly serviceable shorthand doesn't enhance it's meaning.
If you're open 24/7 the implication is that you don't close. If you are open 24/7/365 and there are 366 days in the year you have a paradox.
It wasn't a poor attempt at humour or ignorance. It was sarcasm pointing out the inherent redundancy of saying 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
Is it possible to do something 365 days a year without doing it seven days a week? If not, why bother with the pointless one-upmanship of adding superfluous numbers?
...Your user should not be a sudoer. Your account should have to explicitly su root and enter a password. If you're talking security, anything else is just masturbation...
You really meant
...Hopefully these easy-to-use distributions have the default settings [of sudo] changed or the user is smart enough to change them...
...Using sudo, you have to give your own password...
This is simply not true, with sudo you have the choice to enter you own pasword, the password of the user whose account you wish to use or no pasword at all. This can be set in the sudoers file on a per application and per user basis.
...And you can actually run the command sudo su if you are in the sudoers list. Guess what this does?...
And guess what? This too can be disabled in the sudoers file.
Your user should not be a sudoer. Your account should have to explicitly su root and enter a password.
I fail to see the distinction between using sudo with a password or su with a password. Except that using sudo you only get access to one specified application, which I would consider more secure.
I don't know if it's just yahoo.co.uk, but it doesn't cost me anything to use their pop and smtp servers. I just have to accept a few ads.
As a Yahoo! Delivers member (you asked to receive special offers via [email] when you registered with us), you can take advantage of email forwarding and POP access. Each one is free, exclusively for Yahoo! Delivers members.
I only get one or two emails from them each week so it seems a good deal to me.
Here you go. I've just got to add a few words here as otherwise I have too few characters per line, only 28.8, apparently, although how you can have.8 of a character I don't know.
Well I'm up to 38.8 and it's still not happy. How many do you need? Is it just a coincidence that it went from 28.8 to 38.8? Seems suspect to me. Oh well, Time to try again.
Should be OK now, I think I've added enough pointless drivel to get the characters per line high enough to be able to post.

...I thought we were discussing sports cars in general, not just supercars...
Well, that list isn't all supercars.
The Ariel Atom only costs about £20,000, only has about 220hp, and has a top speed of only about 135mph.
...You seem to be arguing that a country's supercars define its entire car industry...
I have no idea how you came to that conclusion.
...They did run a Corvette, but it was in the pouring rain...
Please don't make stuff up. If your argument has any validity you don't need to, and now any facts you relate are suspect. Here's a video of the test, looks dry to me. But if it makes you feel any better it seems that it's not the Z06, but the C6.
...So which is faster? Well, it depends where you drive it, apparently...
That's the whole point.
How well would a dragster do round an F1 track? Or an F1 car on an off road track? I was replying to a post about cornering, and nothing tests cornering like a tight circuit.
...As for the validity of Top Gear times in general... just not a reliable measure of the performance of a car...
And nor is it meant to be.
Look at the lap times, they are about one and a half minutes. This is a short track with some wicked corners. It is about handling over and above outright speed. This is why the Ariel Atom is up there with the best, It has a lousy top speed and low power, but it's light as a feather, so has a killer power to weight ratio. This gives it the acceleration and handling to stay with the best of them round this short track.
It's also why the Caymen beats the 911, which wouldn't happen if there was a long enough straight for the 911 to pull away.
The Nurburgring is a different kettle of fish altogether. That's a fast circuit where top speed has an impact. On a fast circuit the results would be quite different. Horses for courses.
The reason I posted my original comment was because I think that whatever shortcomings the Top Gear test track may have, it's a better indication of a cars ability to corner in the real world than measuring g-forces on a skidpan, which bears no relation to the real world at all.
So what? So Italy build nice supercars, that's what.
...Doesn't make Fiats better than Fords or Toyotas...
I'm pleased your powers of deduction are working well, but theres no need to show off.
...Top Gear admits that their lap times aren't meant for serious comparison...
Stop taking it so seriously, then.
...a single lap of one track doesn't define a car...
It's not a single lap, they just take the fastest lap.
...often with different drivers...
As far as I know, they only use one or two ex racing drivers.
...that list is meaningless until they test a Saleen S7 and a Corvette Z06 on a dry track...
How does that work, then? Do these two cars have some mystical powers that render all your previous objections null and void if they are tested - but only on a dry track?
They did test a Corvette, it doesn't say which one though. It's currently 18th with a time of 1m 26.8s, 8.4 seconds down on the leader - thats 10% slower. It may be fast, but it's not in the same league as the true supercars.
Of course, considering they put an F1 car round there in 0m 59s, they all pale into insignificance.
...the EU wouldn't last a week against the US in a conventional war...
So how long did it take to pacify Iraq? Oh, it's not over yet...
I personally think many Europeans would fight if the USA invaded, and I'm pretty sure it wouldn't remain a conventional war if either side started losing.
It would also be a chance for other countries with a grudge or with ambitions to stick the boot in. In the end both the EU and the USA would be stuffed.

24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 weeks per 91.25 months | 7.02 years?
It doesn't make any sense.

It's going round corners in real life, bumps and all, that generally let US sports cars down.
Check out Top Gear for a good comparison of sports car handling.
