Obviously. Catholics have always been back-door (heh) polytheists, which is why the Catholic model so easily morphed into Voodoo.

Why? The movie was incredibly lame. It was only saved by Jane Fonda's gorgeous, supple, young bod...
I'm sorry, I forgot what I was going to say.
Screw that. Just stay home. Watch pr0n and drink beer.
Shoulda got the 32GB. 16GB only lasted a week.
I enjoyed 6 well enough, but 7 and 8 lost me completely. Bringing back the annoying, superior Kochansky and losing the gritty, mining-ship feel of the sets and costumes did not go down well with me. Moreover, I liked the limited cast of the original seasons, so bringing back the crew didn't work for me either.
I'm also going to say that the nanobots were some of the most annoying dei ex machinae I've come across as well. Magic tech is fine, but only as long as it doesn't become godlike.
And that's without going into the writing. As others have pointed out, Grant/Naylor made a great team. Either one on his own, not so much.
Maybe I'm wrong, and they could succeed in rebooting the series, but I very much doubt it.
JP II was just another hidebound arsehat who blocked progress in all bust the least important directions. Condoms were off the table, and pedo-priests were at least as well shielded as they are today.
JP I, now, was showing some promise, which is probably why he had to go.
Bingo. I'm an old fart, but I always (well, mostly <g>) enjoy learning new tech.
I will add that it's not surprising that young hotshots get paid for the new tech that they know, if it's a scarcity economy. If the tech becomes pervasive, they can expect to suffer a significant haircut in future contracts. Consider the new guys as something akin to iPads. Give 'em a year, and they'll be old hat, and people won't be willing to pay quite so much.
That said, if you get left behind even further, you'll be worth about as much as a 486 running Windows 95. Try to keep up, OK?
My bad. I meant "multiple rows".
I'm so sick of having to have multiple columns in my databases. I absolutely must have the freedom to cram all of my data into one huge row.
Seriously though, WTF?
I'm gettin' with Natalie Portman right now.
The guy killed a bunch of people including a 9YO child in front of hundreds of witnesses, and some of you can still get outraged that somebody wants to find out what he had to say on a GAME FORUM? Sheesh!
I have a blind friend with an iPhone. Apparently, they're surprisingly popular with the "blindies" (his word), partly due to their superior, built-in screen-reading capabilities. I can't wait to hear what he thinks of THIS stupidity.
Steve: Give us more buttons, not fewer. But no, we know that ain't gonna happen.
For me, the biggest problem with the market lies in the content. Google have gone to the opposite extreme of Apple, and let just any scammer put up their crappy apps, pretending to be other apps and rendering it virtually impossible to find the decent stuff. They need to exercise a little more control, or at least charge on a per-app basis at a rate that might discourage all the crud.
