You put the car in neutral, not shut of the engine.
No engine = no power brakes or steering.

Or you stomp on the brakes. Every car in the US that rolls off the assembly line has brakes that will stop the car even at full throttle. Intelligent cars (VW, Audi, Porsche at least) sense you are on the brakes and put the engine to idle no matter the throttle position.

I tell you unequivocally: in a properly designed car it is simply impossible to have a "run away" due to stuck throttle if you have ANY sense as a driver.

Holy shit... what do all these signs on the road mean? I better just drive as fast as possible to get where I'm going and ignore all the intrinsic features of my method of travel.

Education is ALWAYS a better option that obfuscation.

As well as the meaning of the word "militia" during the time of the writing of the amendment.

Likewise, the 1st amendment guarantees freedom from government sponsored/imposed religion. "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion,..."
ANY god is certainly an establishment of a religion yet Congress has passed laws respecting gods by putting oaths to them on our money and forcing school children to acknowledge such existence in a government mandated daily recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance. These are both act that the founding fathers were against.

Why is it that the same people who will go to the ends of the Earth to uphold the 2nd amendment are usually the first on line trying to erase the 1st amendment?

Yes, the USPS is exactly that. It is an independent agency of the federal government but completely funded by its own operations.

What do you think it is if not a a government entity?

And explains why those activities are not sports.

The difference between golf and most other "sports" is that your resulting score or win/loss is based solely on your performance (like bowling or drag racing). There is no offense/defense in golf; just you, clubs ball and course. If something goes wrong it's all you.
Most every other sport has human interaction as a core element: US football/rugby has people crashing in to each other as a core element, baseball has a pitcher throwing a ball to a batter and the pitcher can directly affect the batters performance, in basketball you could be the best 3 point shooter on an empty court but you've got to get the ball past the defensive players trying to block it.

My iPhone 4s. 3 years old, never in a case and has been horseback riding innumerable times, hiking, camping, boating not to mentioned tossed in to cup holders on to desks and other abuses but still works fine and only has two minor scratches on the the glass.

But some knowledge is inherited, it is called instinct. No-one teaches a wild newborn mammal to locate a teat, they "just know", the brain inherited the specific knowledge via structure encoded in DNA. It seems that evolved traits/behaviors could have been learned/taught behaviors as some point.

Science requires no faith; it is all observable, testable and debatable. If you want you can re-create almost any experimental result ever published.

Faith/belief is holding something to be true without any evidence or in spite of evidence to the contrary: i.e. the opposite of science

According to Christian stories: yes.

Since, in reality, there is not crhist there is still no anti-christ any more than there is an anti-Thor or anti-Ra or anti-Gaia.

Sorry, I forgot Earth is the center of the universe and all measurements of scale and time are related to it. Silly me requesting that science article be clear, concise and accurate.

I thought all planetary orbits were 1 year; it's sort of the definition of a year. Did they mean 11,400 Earth years?

Curious: If you were to point a bunch of satellites at any part of the open ocean and have dozens or hundreds of analysts pore over those images would they find exactly the type of "possible objects" that we are seeing in this situation? Is there any part of the ocean where it is not possible to actually locate human debris such as wood pallets scraps of metal and such.

Remember: we still have tons (literally) of trash from the tsunami floating around out there.

Beyond that, why do ALL the media outlets take government statements such as "possible object", meaning the analysts can't agree that there is an actual thing there and the spot isn't just a light glare, and instead report "it could be a wing". From 'not sure it exists' to 'it could be the plane'.

This all seems like the Washington DC sniper investigation and the "white van" syndrome all over again.

Considering the amount of money that Microsoft makes in patent licensing fees from Android I don't know how they could have any financial reason to want Android to go away. At the moment I suspect that Microsoft makes more money from Android than it does Windows Phone.
