Ah, but you've never seen "Field of Dreams". If you build it, they will come. I'm a city planner and I can attest that the engineer solutions are not solutions. This is because all future development will be based upon where congestion is not, so adding additional lanes will not solve the problem.
Try this, though. Count 50 cars on the road, and pretend they're not there and put 1 bus in its place. Pretty cool, huh? Now take 150 cars and remove them and put a train in its place. Not bad. Social engineering and gov't control is needed.
It didn't matter how much goodness, love, charity or faith you'd demonstrated, if you were first out of that particular womb, you were cactus, even if you were a cow...
That's right. It didn't matter. Grace is all that matters. Many years later, Paul would remark that any effort by man to do good deeds looks like used tampons in the eyes of God. Righteousness, then, comes from God. What one must do, then, is realize that he/she is not good on his own, and goodness is a transformation that God performs through you once you surrender your life to God. All good works are after-the-fact, salvation has already been attained by the surrender. In the above illustration cited by the previous poster, the vanity of religion is rightly portrayed. Jesus, by the way, hated religion more than anyone. The idea of self-transformation to appease a higher order, be it God, social science (think secular humanism), or even one's family (blood or mafia, take your pick).
And even Wendy's gets that mixed up, because chicken nuggets come in 5 packs. "You look like a million chicken nuggets" translates into "you look like 200,000 bucks".
I thought the same thing about the Gamespot awards...until I scrolled down. The winner is at the bottom of the page for those who don't want to watch the video.
Now I'm mad. How the hell is the parent modified as flamebait, when I'm pointing out that the original submission is titled incorrectly, while those who just start bashing intelligent design (off a flawed premise, I might add) get modified +5 interesting? WTF?
This article has nothing to do with intelligent design. It's about a completely different theory - the literal genesis creation. The article actually argued in favor of intelligent design - which is to say that evolution happened, and because evolution is so awesome and finely-tuned, it was obviously a reflection that there is a higher power.
To those of you who used this as a chance to blast intelligent design for being ignorant, you are actually the ignorant one because you obviously don't even know what intelligent design is actually about. Again, this article was about the literal genesis creation.
When you put Google Adwords on your site, and the google bots can't find the right target advertising for your site, the default setting is to display generic google ads on your site, and as the webmaster, your click-through revenue drops.
In the world of cable/satellite, there is a fixed level of revenue that google must achieve in order to be able to offer this service. Targeted ads could pay for this, because they will cost the marketing agency more with the inherent trust that this method of advertising will yield greater results. If the viewing habits/data collected by google can't find a targeted ad, a generic ad would most likely be substituted. Yet, this would not be subsidized by Google, so the number crunching begins to fall apart if there are not enough targeted marketing ads available to consumers.
Good premise, but it'll take some good leadership to make it break even.

Not only that, but the most popular name on the planet (this is the WORLD wide web, after all) is Muhummad. Not James.

Let's see, there's one patch for gluttony, because the Windows software is bloated.
There's another patch for lust, so Google Desktop won't track your pr0n habits.
There's supposedly a patch for sloth, but I'm too lazy to see what it does.
There's a patch for wrath, you son-of-a-bitch!
There's a patch for envy, it will nullify Firefox.
There's a patch for pride and that just leaves one patch for greed, but Micro$oft will fix that sooner or later.

Educate yourselves, people.
