Fly Airbus? Good question. White Christians in Europe stopped having children. They leave the fertility stuff to the Muslim immigrants. So, a generation from now, Hillboingy or Air-Quaeda? No thanks. I think I'll go with the Chinese. (I'm surprised they haven't taken over the aircraft industry yet)
Actually, if I understand correctly, Christianity is probably the only religion that doesn't claim their bible was written by god. The Jesus stories were written by mortals, I haven't heard any other claim. As for creation stories, Christianity gets those from the Jewish bible which it adopted, including the Jewish "calculation" for the age of the world.
I agree with you that arguing with creationists is futile. The argument isn't about who's right and who's not.It's not about trying to find fault with the natural law of evolution or with this or that bible or system of belief. The issue is about politicians trying to get more power for themselves and more money in their bank along the way. Abusing the faith of gullible ignorant masses is a simple way of getting just that.
I'm not sure this is a job for congress. I believe this is a problem that creationists should be working on. If they can pull this one off they will demonstrate their superiority over that satanical ideology called science.

I'm not so sure about that. I thought that the close-to-vacuum of space does not conduct heat that well. The "low" temperature of space just means whatever particles happen to be there on average don't move all that fast. Without a cooling system, the only way for the electronics to lose excess heat is by black-body radiation, which is totally insufficient relative to the rate at which heat is generated (think of your mobile phone, PC, laptop or TV and how hot they get).
Agree. The flip side are all those old business software applications that seem to stick around forever. They run only on legacy platforms - hardware/OS/browser (IE)/screen res./etc.
Corporates sometimes cannot move to newer platforms just because they're stuck with some software they purchased a decade or more ago that is not compatible with new, widely used standards (not even cutting edge ones).

It enables spinning up machines on the cloud of your choice (including EC2). Then it installs and configures your software on those VMs. Finally it monitors all processes that you request it to monitor, including listening to exposed custom metrics, e.g. over a jmx port.
In your case, when your experiment ends, if your software exposes some api or metric that can indicate that, cloudify can take that as a trigger for shutting down or spinning up the next experiment.
A nice bonus is that it can elastically scale in and out your VMs to handel varying loads and automatically restart problematic VMs or processes.
Furthermore, the urban people that are benefiting most from China's growth, are concentrated and powerful, while the rural people that are benefiting the least, are weak and dispersed. By far the biggest risk to the Chinese Communist Party would be if they started to actually help the rural poor and lost the support of the urban rich.
Sounds like good ol' Communism to me. It has one goal in common with Capitalism, US-style. That is to make the rich and powerful richer and more powerful and make the poor and weak poorer and weaker. The means are different though.

So, is the god particle created by god or intelligently designed by a god-like observer? In the latter case it might be better called the god-like particle...
Are there any other situations in the wannabe-objective science of physics where some deity is involved?
Are atheists supposed to start worshipping a god-like observer?
The jclouds framework enables abstraction of your cloud (read: IaaS) layer. I don't work for these guys but I've seen it used in several tools. Using tools based on jclouds makes it easy to shift your deployments from one cloud to another, be it public or private. There are other concerns when doing that, such as synchronizing the data that needs to be available in each specific deployment, but there are tools for that as well. Here is a quote from their "What is jclouds?" page:
jclouds is an open source library that helps you get started in the cloud and utilizes your Java or Clojure development skills. The jclouds API gives you the freedom to use portable abstractions or cloud-specific features.
jclouds tests support of 30 cloud providers and cloud software stacks including Amazon, Azure, GoGrid, Ninefold, OpenStack, Rackspace, and vCloud...jclouds offers several API abstractions as Java and Clojure libraries. The most mature of these are BlobStore and ComputeService.

I find it hard to believe there are creationists. I mean, if god created perfect brains for them, why don't they use them?

That's odd, I've recently been to India. the spicy food there didn't induce such thoughts. In fact, it took a few away...
Look up cloudify on cloudifysource.org.
It enables spinning up machines on the cloud of your choice (including EC2). Then it installs and configures your software on those VMs. Finally it monitors all processes that you request it to monitor, including listening to exposed custom metrics, e.g. over a jmx port.
