Well, you did it wrong: passphrase are much easier to remember than (secure) password.

> even had women fawning over him AFTER they had learned he was a serial killer

That's not an indication of charm, as the "there's no bad publicity" goes, it 's quite likely that some guys have more success with woman after it is revealed that they are serial killers..

> They're consuming 2,000 empty calories in a single sitting. A 2-liter of Coke is $1.29. A gallon of orange juice is $6. See the problem?

No:
1) diet coke won't give you 'empty calories'
2) in France you can ask for (tap) water in any restaurant and it is usually *free*.

> On the other hand only Firefox is checked with static analysis tools before released, meaning that there are very, very few actual flaws in the browser

ROFL: given that FF "strength" is extensions your claim is very, very funny.

> None of these religions have ANY use other than to keep certain people in power and rich at the expense of others.

I'm an atheist too but this is false:
-studies have shown that those who attend church tend to live longer than those who don't
-my personal opinion is that confession could help people (the ancestor of talking with a psy).
-less fear of the death etc

So all the religions have use, now this doesn't mean that I'm an advocate of religions quite the contrary in fact: their many drawbacks far outweigh their benefits IMHO.

D is not what the GP asked: he asked a sane syntax for variable declaration and D reuse C's not very good syntax.
D has local-type inference though which helps a little..
And while D doesn't truly need a GC, its standard library is made with the supposition that you have a GC, which is not very coherent IMHO.

> Do I have permission to treat it as a 2002 desktop, which for 99% of the population is exactly the same as a 2012 desktop?

The desktop yes: contrary to what Gnome or KDE developpers seems to think it's only a means to an end.
But the webbrowser?
When I see the CPU & memory used by Firefox or Chrome..

>> Many modern atheists have bad theology. They think: How does an all powerful and good God let bad things happen?

> No, generally not.

Well, I know one atheist who told me that she used to be a Christian but then *something bad happen* then she thought that the "good God" must not exist..

I find this a bit ridiculous (and I'm an atheist), but I wish we had stats to know what percentage of atheists are like this.

> people are around 60% more likely to have measurable healing compared to those that receive nothing.

Bah, that's hardly science: you forget to compare with people receiving a 'placebo' treatment, Freud's cures may be *only* a placebo..

Also one essential difference is that today's physicist and chemist don't especially hold in high regards alchemist whereas the psychology scientist still haven't disregarded Freud..

> In the case of code written by others, run it through a pretty-printer. Problem solved.

Ever tried to run code through a pretty-printer?
It doesn't works well: when the initial code has some parts which are aligned for better readability, the pretty-printer destroy the alignment.

Whatever you may say language with significant indentation helps novice, that's a fact (re)discovered several times.
