I'd love to find a generic brand cola that tastes exactly the same as Coke. Of all the non-Coke alternatives I've tried (including Pepsi), I've found that that they do taste of cola, but their taste is still significantly different than Coke. And even Coke tastes slightly different in different countries due to variations in the bottling process.

I don't see how resurrected could imply alive.

That's because you're an ignorant heathen.

"On the third day, he rose again."

Good thing we are still friendly with this nation who is a shining beacon of freedom.

I'm _pretty_ sure that we could devise a safe way to extract phosphorous from dead bodies. Maybe science wasn't up to that task when we "evolved", but it certainly is by now.

Also, we "evolved" bathing in our drinking water supply.

You're batshit nuts, on both counts. Carlos's score was a masterpiece, and the screenplay was adapted almost verbatim from the US version of the novel.

The only significant departure was the omission of the last chapter, in which Alex and his friends grow up, mellow out, and start families.

Life will certainly adapt, but probably in a Mad Max kind of way.

The worry of the Koch brothers et al., and many of today's Slashdotters, seems to be that life will adapt in a Mad Marx kind of way instead.

"Ballmer also wants to knock down the walls"

Nah, too easy.

This is America. In theory, we 'overthrow the government' every 2 or 4 years. It's called regime change. I don't see anything odious about his statement.

If 'drone' is such a big scary word, then why are meetings over represented with both marketing drones and management drones?

I pay those people for food and farm subsidies. They can use that money to pay for access or not. It's their choice. I've lived in the country much of my life. I didn't expect city people to pay me because I had clean air and endless miles of wilderness to roam in.

9-11 made us lose perspective of a lot of things we need to keep perspective on in order to achieve real security and also to maintain our way of life, e.g. democracy.
