In the US, you can download the episodes straight to your iPhone, $1.99 for standard def, the morning after the air. I just downloaded episode 5 a minute ago (but in high def to a computer at $2.99). The series is very obviously patterning its visual and dramatic style, and some of the character development, after BSG.

Smyth, *Greek Grammar*, at 971, says that when two subjects - both singular and connected by a disjunctive - are taken together, the plural (rarely) occurs. My guess is that the logic applies in English, too: if "or" is more connective than disjunctive in force, you use the plural to refer to both subjects as a group.

So the translation is accurate, *and* the grammar is correct in the original.

I don't think many of this kind of critic have actually read James 2.15-17, because it directly impeaches "justification by faith alone:" "Faith is dead without works."

But *who* will watch the watchers? Almost certainly, someone with a stake in continuing the program; so abuses will still go unreported.

Let me guess: you didn't laugh watching Aliens when the guy said "but it's a dry heat!"

You have *never* had a disk fail on you? Give it time. Give it time.

I find it very hard to believe that his 9 year old PC will run Windows 7. It might *install* Windows 7, but run it? Usefully? That's not a knock against Windows 7, which is the first decent MS desktop operating system product released since, I don't know, NT 4? But I really can't imagine trying to run Windows 7 on a machine that was sold with Windows ME or Windows 2000 on it.

Would you have preferred that they had charged you $399 for OS X 10.1?

No, if you want to develop applications for distribution to other customers, it'll cost you $100. You can install on your own phone in various other ways.

The first chapter is a good intro to the book.

From the very article you're citing:

Mr Justice Burton [i.e., the judge who made the ruling in question] said he had no complaint about Gore's central thesis that climate change was happening and was being driven by emissions from humans. However, the judge said nine statements in the film were not supported by mainstream scientific consensus.

Fox News is the propaganda arm of the Rebpulican Party. MSNBC is the propaganda arm of the Democratic Party. Frighteningly, the most credible news organization in the world right now is the BBC.

Here are two examples of the kind of research he is talking about:

• Multiscale networking, robustness, and rigor, by John Doyle, a simplified discussion of his own research area
• Patterns in Network Architecture, a book by John Day on new paradigms for network architecture

So an organization that loves to complain, loudly and vocally, about "judicial activism," now wants judges to rescue it from the policies of the Congress of the United States and the unary Executive that they helped to create? Now that's a rich vein of hypocrisy.

IBM is still International Business Machines. BAE changed its name when it bought out Marconi. BP is still British Petroleum; an attempt to deemphasize petroleum products in their branding led to a drop in morale and so they are back to re-emphasizing it.
