Godism. Everything else falls short, and will end, sooner or later.

I posit that the rise of Youtube, Facebook, Twitter and the like allowed people to share and discuss about things they actually care about, rather than TV shows or even movies. Hell, I spend more time on /. than watching TV - and I'm increasingly feeling like most of my family is the same (not on /., but you get the picture).

For those who still watch TV, TiVo and Netflix have set the standards too high for many to really give a crap about last century's TV model anymore.

For people who can't handle God.

There are no virgins in Paradise. There is no literal "Treasure stored up in Heaven". There is no literal "Heaven".
Who cares about any of these things? They indicate a preoccupation with self-interest.

The manifestation of divine presence is something to overwhelm and drown every other thought, wish, perception and awareness.

Our very sense of ridiculous fables like "Islam" or "Christianity" will be less than meaningless. Their only use on this earth is to prevent totally corrupting the ability to respond to grace. They do not themselves confer grace, nor can grace be attracted through merit. Through those theological distortions God is a merchant, or a whore. But Love comes to us from God because it is mercy, not recompense.

In Ukraine we have achieving technological dominance again for one time more!

Announcing for world first time, biggest ever microchip. Ability to the processing power of more data is an explosive growth phenomenon.

Now it is Ukraine again the leader!

Fixed. :-)

Forgot how /. tag for URL differs from A HREF

Single atom says:
"Help! I'm trapped in the four-dimensional space-time string, isolated from the 12-dimentional multiverse!"

Ahhh, but as soon as it's an emergency, then the rules are suspended and you don't need to be a HAM to broadcast and would not be limited by the regulations that HAM operators are required to follow. And, let's face it - in a true emergency situation all the rules go out the window anyway. When it comes to saving a life or following the written word of regulation, life safety will always trump.

The only real thing that keeps encryption from being on the airwaves is hardware support - i.e. the availability of radios which both encrypt and allow operation on HAM frequencies. Most manufacturers are obligated to respect the rules, though clearly some Chinese versions tend to not disallow operation that goes afoul of the US regs.

If OSX comes "free" with their hardware, but is also sold separately - or even just has a defined value separately - they will likely fall afoul of the law. Unless, of course, the judge is an Apple user in which case it will be swept under the rug.

iOS is definitely a different beast. You can't run any other software on an iDevice, and you can't buy it (developer licenses are not quite the same as an operational license). Same with Android and Windows Phone edition - the OS is arguably integral with the phone. At least, for now!

It's one thing to know what the sound of a single excited atom is but, as they say on the internets - pics or it didn't happen.

Though, now that I think about it, I guess if it's just one atom, you're really more in the vein of Turning Japanese.

Gaseous? So it is an element. ARRGH!

I complained to the FCC....

I didn't see enough of Janet's breast to compensate for watching the Superbowl.

"Excretion Funerals" here.

Same disease, smells worse...

Seriously? A crystal?

Right. Can they get it to gaseous form first? :-) Or do they sublimate straight from pure energy, right to solid state?

Also, point of clarification (pun intended): Does this crystalline light need to be first observed as a particle, or will a wave observation prove to be equally effective in achieving desired result?
