Comment Re:I think he's dealt with other orthodox types (Score 1) 367

No - because these are classical CHRISTIAN issues and interpretation, not JEWISH ones. The timers are tools put in place before Shabbat - and they're exceedingly deterministic. Robots would be 100% for the record - so long as their programming was established prior to shabbat itself.

Christians know (or, at least should know) that "the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor." and that "Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes." (Galatians 3:24-25; Romans 10:4 NKJV), and salvation is not from keeping the law at all. The law could not justify.
"Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now being made perfect by the flesh?" (Galatians 3:2-3) Even after salvation, continuing in our walk with Christ is not about keeping the old laws. God desires mercy and not sacrifice.

Comment Re:that's how a 15 years old teenager (Score 1) 342

Is it really related to their point if said 15-year-old is named Ezekiel, or has a large collection of shoes? Would their gender be relevant?

Possibly. With a large enough data set, we could conclude that owning a large collection of shoes increases 15-year-olds' responsible social behavior. In fact, we could graph their "social iq" on one axis, and "number of shoes owned" on the other axis. We could add another axis for gender... then print it with a 3d printer. yeah. I'm sure that must be why the child's age wouldn't be enough information for most people.

Asus P5W64 Workstation (my Core2duo m/b) has a floppy controller.
ASRock Z77 extreme 6 (core i3/5/7 m/b) has a floppy controller, although it is inconveniently located at the back bottom corner... no IDE on it, though. I've moved my IDEs to an external enclosure with esata/usb.
But yes, it is increasingly difficult to find floppy controllers on modern motherboards. I may eventually need an external (usb) floppy drive or something. The internal usb floppy drives are nigh impossible to find also.
