English was and always will be a language of universal communication. The origins of the language comes from taking words from other languages and making use of them. That is why we have phrases like "cease and desist" and "breaking and entering", which are not sets of two different things, but phrases to denote that they have the exact same meaning. We have just lost the original understanding of the phrases.

The end result is that you can Yoda Speak and completely understand it, even though it seems awkward: "Away put your weapon". It is also why English is such a hard language to learn for a second language.

No. He speaks something that sounds like English, but the words have different meanings. It's called "Politician".

... compared with the random office noises around you, a reliable predictable set of stimuli is easier to tune out. Music is almost white noise when contrasted with folks taking loud phone calls about medical problems, unattended phones ringing at their desks, and so on.

Staff? You're kidding me? This will be automated with scripts. You're nuts if you're depending on a human to hit "submit" button on website for a high value domain name. Scripts, properly executed, will be within milliseconds (ie, margin of error) of the exact time needed. This solves NOTHING.

It only took some forty years to discredit. In the meantime it was taught as fact and people even got their PhD's on the subject. My point wasn't that it was eventually refuted, but rather it fit your description of "religion" and yet was held as "science" for YEARS. It took nearly 80 years to rid textbook references to Piltdown Man as evidence of evolution. In fact, there are plenty of textbooks that contain what we now know are errors, but haven't been corrected, and are still being taught as fact. Heck, gravity is still taught as a "law" even though it only works only most of the time (outliers are such a bitch).

I'm not arguing for creationism, but rather against the smugness of many who hold the science view, as being perfect and void of errors. Even your reply here completely ignores that I was making a direct comparison between your previous point and obvious errors (lies) in science.

AGW is a perfect case of not having the actual data and basing all knowledge held by a very very select few, who have been caught manipulating the data and "cherry picking". According to various experts, the earth is much cooler than predicted by most of their models. And if AGW is true, and Al Gore is a prime promoter of it, then why did he just buy a beach house? He either doesn't believe what he is peddling or he is crazy. I'll let you figure out which .. His carbon footprint is much larger than mine.

Actually, the best option is to edit the EULA before agreeing to it. One sided contracts are not contracts.
