So you know where marriage came from? The best info I can come up with was that it was before recorded history.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marriage#History_of_marriage

Marriage is a long tradition in the various religions. In Catholicism (only religion I can speak from) they will refuse to marry two people if there is no intention of having children. It doesn't matter if homosexual, heterosexual, anything, no children, no marriage. Since homosexuals would find it rather hard to have natural children, they are excluded from the sacrament.

Catholicism predates every major government, and many governments took their civil marriage from Christianity, so perhaps you should rethink where marriage came from.

So, you are conflating his view that homosexual marriage is wrong, and him actively promoting that view with him being a bigot? To many homosexual marriage is wrong, the institution of marriage is about raising children in a stable home, so therefore it makes no sense for homosexuals to marry. Does this make me a bigot for understanding what marriage was created for?

In soviet Russia, dams damn you.

From the article:

In addition to causing a major disruption to the national power grid, hackers could access the systems that control a dam’s turbine generators. A computer mistakenly started one in a Russian damn in 2009, killing 75 people and destroying eight of the nine other turbines in the dam.

Wait, what? Since when? 10 years ago the common suggestion was to not cut your kids, there is very little benefit for the loss of feeling.

Now cybernetic brain implants I could get on board with, except that 99% of the people who use computers have no clue how to remove a virus...and you know someone will target an implant to serve up advertising constantly...

Having supported Apple in the enterprise, I will respectfully disagree. When a Dell has an issue, you call Dell. They send out a part, and offer a technician to replace it. When an Apple has an issue, you drive a half hour to the mall, wait 2 hours in line to talk to the technician, only to have them take the computer into the back room and have you return in a few days. Which is the good tech support?
