I think you missed the "and are not sinking" line.
If you need it, you don't pay.
It's the same here with the fire service and ambulance service. Free, unless it's a false alarm.
Steam Not Coming To Linux 520
dkd903 writes "A rumor has been going around for about four months that Valve was working on a Linux version of Steam and this had a lot of people in the Linux community very excited. But, Valve has now officially killed the rumor. And it is not what people wants to hear – there is no Linux version of Steam in development. Doug Lombardi, the Marketing VP of Valve Corporation, in an interview, has put an end to all the rumors by saying that they are not working on Steam for Linux right now."

He doesn't talk about "migrating off" so much as "spreading out" we would still need to solve the class of problems you discuss. but it makes sense to get *some* of the population off this rock, and as far away as possible, as soon as possible...

Or instead of the "you have x minutes left" counters that get displayed in a web page on some hotspots, have a "more coffee" button, that places your order at the till to be delivered to you at your table. I like this idea.

Submission + - The Bionic...cat? (bbc.co.uk)
Nevynxxx writes: The BBC reports on a cat given two Peg Legs, after an accident with a rogue harvester. "We have managed to get the bone and skin to grow into the implant and we have developed an 'exoprosthesis' that allows this implant to work as a see-saw on the bottom of an animal's limbs to give him effectively normal gait." So which is it, Cyborg Cat, or Pirate Cat?

We've done some questionable things in the past, and I'm sure we'll continue to stumble, and pick ourselves up, going forward. The one thing that differentiates us if that we're saved via Jesus, and that's an external thing.
Just to void my mod points... this is what scares me about Christianity. It completely removes self responsibility. At the end of the day, a Christian is told repeatedly that they can do what they like up to judgement day, and so long as they say sorry, didn't mean it, it will be forgiven.
Granted, it is assumed that you have to mean the apology, but that isn't the impression most Christians give.
