And scientists aren't doing that constantly? Look at the groovy symbols, man. All that could well be true, or turn out to be a big, fat brontosaurus.
These are the conjectures of the day. Are they so much phlogiston? If we're going to allow that Jesus Christ may not be the Messiah (and we should, lest we fall into fanaticism) then we should fall equally short of fetishing science as though these squishy theories couldn't be overturned next week.

. . .beyond that, all bets are backed up somewhere on the spectrum of realipolitik from gentle encouragement to gun-barrel-up-the-nose.

. . .and make way for Her Majesty.

It's all about feeding d_r's }={ fetish.

I was being sarcastic.

Only if you're going to be naïve, and claim that the Democrats somehow represent the 1% in any lesser way than the Republicans.

No, no, you're looking at this all wrong. Apple stayed out of the Phablet market until they were "cool/hip/trendy". The vast sales Samsung had were merely to unimportant people. Apple, on the other hand, entered the market exactly when phablets became cool, because, by definition, phablets became cool only once Apple had entered the market.

Yup. I like Apple, but even I consider "perfectly timed" to be a case of revisionist history.

The rest of the summary falls apart under scrutiny too. Microsoft can do the Surface Pro 3 because it has a common OS across both platforms. Apple does not. In fact, despite some recent iOS-ification of OS X moves, Apple has always publicly stated that they think the two should remain separate, and with Yosemite they've made it ABUNDANTLY clear to anyone paying attention that they really do view them as two separate classes of devices intended for two entirely different sets of tasks and that each class should have an OS that fits it. Yosemite is one giant, "Now that we've finally decided we're not turning OS X into iOS, we need to give OS X users more control and then make the two OSes work well with each other" step.

In looking through the features that it shares with iOS (e.g. iCloud, Extensions, flat UI appearance, etc.), the one trend I keep seeing repeated is that Yosemite was allowed to diverge from iOS in a number of ways that make it more powerful (e.g. able to directly manipulate files in iCloud Drive, more varied types of Extensions allowed, more ability to customize the UI's appearance now than anytime in recent history), rather than being constrained to only do as much as iOS, which had been the somewhat worrying trend of the last few years. And then they've added methods for helping the two OSes to hand off work between each other or pass files back and forth more easily, allowing users to work on whichever system they feel best fits the task they're working on.

If Apple wanted to unify their devices on one OS in the very near future, Yosemite is pretty much the exact opposite of the OS you'd release.

My point is that "following the rules of God" is the object this leads to the maximizing of individual liberty. All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not. There is a whole spectrum of non-sinful opportunity for me; the question is how to maximize the glory of God. But the "common good" is achieved in passing, in the passing of the need to fear God and walk humbly in His ways from one generation to the next.
"Common good", on its own, is such an amorphous, conjectural notion as to seem a campaign slogan of the "Forward" or "Hope and Change" variety. We're born individuals, and derive a notion of "common" from the population. We certainly do NOT move from the group to the individual, sorry. Christ died for each individual person's sins in all of time. "God so loved the world," yes, but remember that "whosoever believeth" is an individual, not corporate, requirement.

Ja. The dork also does something at Georgetown that he calls "teaching".

Actually, I had already blogged about your boy Hunter. All I can say is that I'm deeply grateful that BHO ran against the 1%. I mean, if Those Awful M0rm0ns had taken over, the river of hookers and blow running through the capitol would've been wider than the Potomac, I daresay.

Howie gonna question what we see on TV, or read on the Internet? Isn't it all true?

Hunter Biden's Georgetown academic credentials mark his as competent as B)~(O, while his impressive Navy record totally puts him in JFK's water. Let the Democrat times roll, bizatches.

"roll the country back", in my mind, means reconsidering the 16th & 17th Amendments, the Federal Reserve Act, and the freezing of the House's size as of 1910 to make it less representative over time.
I think that http://www.conventionofstates.com/ is the least-worst route. You'll know it's getting big when the GOP, "accidentally", and with much weeping, strangles it.

I think we're arguing the same point from different ends. Pure capitalism "doesn't collapse power into the few"; but I wouldn't accuse us of operating in a purely capitalistic mode. The question is how to purge the socialist impurities, slowly.

His case is diabetes-related.
