You questioning the actions of a God is like an Ant trying to get a CS degree. It is cute, but you simply aren't equipped to understand it.

You wouldn't enjoy the same activity with say a b-b-gun? or a bow and arrow? or an adle-adle? I get that target practice is fun, I'm just not sure I believe the pistol is the only way to enjoy that activity.

Most insightful AC comment I've read here in about 2 months.

haha- You know, I really don't see that reverence much...in fact, EVER.

AC likes to make it rain and doesn't want to injure his loved ones.

Conscientious objectors might not be forced to kill others, but they are forced to serve during draft times, and often to much lower pay.
We should force religious parents to vaccinate children if they are sent to public school, it is a public health issue.
I don't really know anything about Amish people other that they have "rumspringa" which sounds like a good idea.

Halo is now made by 343 studios

I used to believe this, until, in the US, Guantanamo bay was setup, and people were rounded up and jailed with out charges for years.

(in addition to the identical twin comments), the change of collision drastically changes depending of the type of DNA comparison test being performed. Usually this is a function of how many allele's they are testing for.

depends how directional it is. You can narrow down the 90x180 deg been pattern by a lot and still hit more than one target. Also, connecting at all with a directional antenna is better than connecting to no-one with out one.

not everyone, just a vocal amount of old-timers on /. Most of my younger dev friend who just got into linux love it more than EVERY other DE they've used. (ages 23-28). I've learned to love it myself. I don't really understand how people say it 'gets in the way'. I hit the meta key, type in the program name I want, hit enter, it runs. done. I use the (now common in other DEs) feature where Upper left hand corner tiles windows quickly so I can pick one.

Admission might be free, but parking isn't. So unless you are getting dropped off, I'd still bring some form of monitary payment. Though, if you are a poor collage kid in the area, I believe there is a free shuttle from smithsonian in DC out there.

Great argument for provocing thought in middle schoolers.
    The majority of the mass from that plant growth comes from the water and nitrogen in the air and ground below it. This is why man-made ferilizaer was such a massive step forward for society, and why wars were faught over bat shit. The sun provides basically 0 mass to this, simply provides the energy to let the plant do what it wants with the food already around it.

This won't help in the smart-phone/ipad age. Kids always things they are smarter than their parents. Lets pretend his kids are about to go off the deep end into organized terrorism, this would just force them deeped under ground, and not actually help/detect anything.

I think it is a "retro-encabulator", though I guess it would be ironic to correct someone on this snipe-hunt.
