Watch your mouth.;-) All my friends had Atari 8-bit because they were cool.
Commodore wasn't cool because you had to type LOAD 8,*,BS to load your disks. Atari had self-booting disks.
Commodore wasn't cool because you could only have 16 colors on the screen at once no matter what, where Atari had demos with 128 and eventually 256. Even games had rainbow effects on Atari that looked way better than on Commodore.
All my buddies would trade floppies at school. I only bought a couple games. I feel bad now that I destroyed the software market and killed the platform. I pay for everything or use open source stuff now.
It's not like it's expensive to put out one handset and see how it does. Make it great hardware and get it on all the networks. If it sells 10X better (like we all think it would) then drop Microsoft like a hot rock.
My boss has one and he hates it when he sees everyone installing awesome apps on their Android and iOS phones and tablets, and he can't install nearly anything that we have. Of course, we are software developers.
Not approving evolution IS one of the freedoms America stands for. How about the prevention of the teaching of the science coming out of Creationism? You should be equally against that and let the kids look at the facts and make up their minds for themselves. Some of the Creationists' points blow large holes in the current thinking. So, it's not OK to block the popular teaching (even if it sometimes looks more like politics or storytelling), but it's OK to block unpopular science (even if it's clear that the scientific method was followed and the experiments are reproducible)?
Someday, there will probably be major changes to origins science and we will be closer to the truth. But it will come from America, not countries that control what everyone is taught like Sweden.
7000-year cycle? As a Christian that thinks there is more to YEC than most people (who haven't read any of it) believe, I've never once in all my travels heard of a 7000-year-cycle.
In any event, the 8000 sounds a lot closer to the 6000 year YEC position than the evolution perspective (100,000? or is it 2,000,000 now?, it changes so frequently and everyone disagrees so much I can't keep track).
Creationists agree that starlight is billions of years old. They just believe the solar system, what with its young comets and all, is young. Answers in Genesis does a good job of bringing a lot of creationist articles together. And by the way, they don't refute relativity at all. Relativity's gravitational time dilation is one of the theories as to how the universe can be old while the earth is young.
You can see their articles on Astrophysics here. Don't be surprised to see that most believe in old stars:
Rather than continuing to misunderstand about the creationist perspective, read up and see what they believe. Then, if you disagree with them, you can at least stop with the unfounded attacks.
True. You need to have an understanding spouse that will understand the closed door--I'm at work situation. If not, get a lock. Of course, that doesn't keep your kids from flushing the toilet on a conference call the moment you leave your office to find a piece of paper you were looking at downstairs last night.
The lack of door may be fine for YOU to ignore your family. But it's not nearly as good for keeping THEM from bothering you. Out of sight, out of mind. I can actually lock my office door (previous owner). Sometimes, my youngest was coming in so often I locked it.
Given that nerds often have thoughts outside the norm, often have trouble anticipating the behavior of more normal people, and often find ourselves at the bottom of social status, such a system is very troubling for us.

In a word... Yes.
That's why we in the US still use pounds. That way, it's always accurate.

And why does it do so well? Great hardware. And LOTS of work in software to overcome the shortcomings of Android 2.3.

And yet atheists like Stalin and Mao outmurder them by the millions...
And in Rwanda, it was very nearly this. People went to war over a classification system that was WHAT DUTCH PEOPLE THOUGHT THEY LOOKED LIKE.
And the comic is actually pretty good...
Great band, BTW.

That's what makes America great.

If you would like to read what they believe about the age of the earth and why they believe it is young, Answers in Genesis sums it up here:

I can work with music but not with talk radio at all. YMMV.

Of course, that doesn't keep your kids from flushing the toilet on a conference call the moment you leave your office to find a piece of paper you were looking at downstairs last night.
Also, make sure you go in the office or at least video call them. They need to see your face in order to remember you are on the team.

I don't know about Pennsylvania, but in most states, it's only true if the recording has audio.
Write ten songs with the same titles of ten popular songs and torrent the MP3s?
In California, you have to pay first. It's been that way for 20 years.
Like it matters at this point...
Is this, like, someone trying to print Wikipedia or something?
