Comment Re:Europa (Score -1) 92

True, but Evangelicals, like Roman Catholics do believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is God, was sacrificed, and rose from the dead.
So, using obscure, unknowable minor points to discredit the major tenets of faith becomes rather comical to watch over and over again. So, I say a "religious worldview" is kind of self defeating to begin with. Philosophy is a walk on the slippery rocks, but it's better than drowning in an ocean of statistical data.

Just because you spent hundreds of billions on rickety architecture doesn't mean we have to use it. To paraphrase Richard Nixon - "My DNS server entries mean whatever I choose them to mean" in fact, the whole .gov and .mil arena can be routed to goat.se in minutes and there is nothing you can do to stop it.
In other words, the internet exists by the consent of the governed. It's our internet, and we'll do as we please.

It's not your fault, the insinuations of my statement cover philosophy where even I fear to tread. So no, I don't intend to punish anyone. Rather, I simply can't stomach a plus 5 insightful mod from a stooge whose knowledge of the subject matter stopped accumulating at the age of 14. Of course the consensus of the Slashmob results in -1 for me -fuckem.
Perhaps for my next rant we can debate why even the Catholic church no longer murders heretics, while many governments of the world kill regularly despite their holy documents holding the right to life inalienable. Besides, it's clear to me the parent doesn't mean to TAX the church, He means simply to seize its accumulated wealth which was acquired by the consent of its governed.
Finally, I had asked people to compare the young earthers to welfare hood rats. As you can see the responders knee jerked response was predictable, leading me to believe that if you know a lot of stupid people, perhaps there is a reason for that as well.

You would think that somebody at NASA would have pointed out the abject stupidity of lifting something as useless as a rasberry pi out of earths gravity well.
Attention fanbois, we won't get to mars by talking about it. I thought engineers were trained at least to be aware of cost efficiency...
Mods, here's another chance to penalize inside the box thinking.

The secret is to design the experiment so you extrapolate energy levels to 6 orders of magnitude beyond what you can measure. Then the math guys do the rest.
It's really a lot less work than those idiots at CERN do, in fact, this method produces MiniVans per researcher much quicker.

Don't take this as being judgmental, it's more like survival instincts. Evolution, if you like. The fact that you show regret over past acts means you are well on the way to redemption. But the IT world is already overflowing with closet oddball, dysfunctional, sociopaths. Society puts people in jail and rubber stamps them as felons for the sake of expediency. We don't do it to punish, nor to rehabilitate. We safely tuck you out of the way and ignore you. Like the abortionist that only considers the ramifications of their actions after the fact, you still have trouble wrapping your mind around why the church might deny you communion.
The 47% Romney spoke of understand this and don't even bother to vote their representatives into their insane asylum offices.
I think you have a real shot. Oh, I mean if you LIE on your job app. Even if you eventually get caught lying, just shrug your shoulders and tell them "Of course I lied - I'M a FELON!!!"
It works for Clinton (D) or North (R). The truth is Americans LIKE our felons, and their is no limit to what you might aspire to.
