    I've watched Doctor Who. I'm not buying anything called ATMOS.

    no as I was of that age where I would have been too distracted by the 'nakid boobies' I don't actually remember the plot.

    You say that as if there is an age when you're no longer distracted by 'nakid boobies'.

    Was that "Trust no one" or "Trust number one"?

    The problem with that is that there are few machines that come with a multi-pass reader slot built in, and I don't know of anyone who sells them as an add-on peripheral.

  9. Re:People forget about people. on Pirate Activist Shows Politicians What Digital Surveillance Looks Like · · Score: 1

    Adam and Eve were cursed because of their disobedience, not because of doubt.

    Zechariah asked how he could be sure, and was made mute for a time. Afterwards he praised God. In other words, his doubt was answered. It should be noted that the Abraham, the father of the faith, was also old and had a barren wife. As a priest, Zechariah should have known about that example.

    Nothing happened to Thomas because he doubted, apart from Jesus making a personal appearance to assuage his doubts.

    The disciples of Jesus were continually doubting. Did Jesus let Peter drown when he was walking on the water and grew afraid? When Jesus commissioned his followers to go into the world and make disciples, were any of them cursed for doubting? No.

    It is not doubting, but disobedience that God finds offensive.

    Acts 17:11 NIV

    Now the Bereans were of more noble character than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.

    Malachi 3:10

    Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," says the LORD Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.

    Those do not speak of a "discouragement of skeptical inquiry" to me.

    To be fair, dairy cows are artificially enseminated without consent, so technically it is rape.

  14. Why not write-up an easy to understand guide online & send them links instead?

    Because jurors aren't allowed access to the internet.

  15. So where can I buy 900 foot runs of cable that have the ends already on them that I can fish through conduit easily? Right next to the switches that can handle that extra 578 feet.

    Why are you assuming Ethernet?

    Why do people use buggy whip makers as an example of outdated technology? Have you not heard of harness racing? Have you not heard of horse drawn carriage rides? Have you not heard of the Amish? People with fetishes? Rodeos?

    You could move the carriage manually and get the bell to ring twice without intervening sounds. However, even with manual manipulation of the carriage, I doubt you could get the ding-ding cadence.

  25. Re:Back to the 60s on SpaceX One Step Closer To Launching Astronaut · · Score: 1
    Well, for starters, what hemisphere they're in. However, that isn't the point. To me, the tone of the ancestral post wasn't east vs west, but foreign vs domestic:

    In the '60s we had enough workforce and disposable income to build rockets with western engineers right here and do it right.

    Well, some of those "western engineers" weren't from "right here" and weren't part of "we".
