I'd say that I am spiritual, in that I have an interest in the enrichment of the body and the mind, but I am not religious in any way, shape or form. Infact, I am something of a militant atheist, but I am a very moral person. I would happil

Has there been an analysis of what will happen to the 'common man' should these banks fail? In plain speak? By which I mean: Will the price of my food and gas go up? Will I pay more for the rent on my apartment? Will I have to pay more if I

Oh. ColdFusion. And I thought this article might have had some relevance.

Generally? I don't. Until I can get such information via feeds, presented nicely and in an aggregatable way, I will just visit individual sites.

To be honest, I still don't get it. He says, "Such and such will help you understand closures" and then a few lines of python, then suddenly, "because start_pos is a closure". Which, really, still doesn't explain what he means. That and for

I'd say, "At least those problems are mostly in the past now", whereas you cannot say the same thing about China. Infact, I must admit, China isn't a country I would even feel comfortable about visiting. I am a very vocal proponent of democ

China's wonderful architecture and fast-growing cities still doesn't, for me, offset its government and its treatment of people.

And then you shouldn't expect people to give you their usernames and passwords either. Because that, frankly, is just fucking retarded.

What, so people.. might start to use smaller providers, or perhaps as things used to be, make agreements with the sellers themselves in a kind of rent-to-buy agreement? Good lord, whatever will happen. Poor, POOR traders. Frankly, I could g

You can't. And don't use market penetration of OpenID or ClickPass as an excuse. It's the old chicken and egg problem. "People don't use it yet, so I won't implement it!" "People aren't using it because no-one is implementing it!" And like

It'll impact everyone else ANYWAY. Why? Taxes. Someone has to pay for the government bailing them out. And because it is essentially a blank check with no oversight, they'll make the mistakes again. And again. And again. There's a reason it

Am I the only person who wishes they WOULD fail? It seems like it's the only thing that would scare these massive companies into taking less risks.

I'll go right ahead and bite the karma loss for suggesting that "near death experiences" and perhaps head trauma causes people to lean towards the bible.

Frankly, I am quite happy to die. To know that, all my achievements and all my failures, eventually, will cease to matter. To know that I too will give way to the next generation and that, hopefully, they can make up for my follies and mist

Well, the way of the future, for television, will be ala carte programming over IP. We're cancelling our cable TV service today, as all the shows we like we can get from the cable networks own websites, or places like Hulu. We'd even pay to

It's like this. He tried to get it amended, but it failed. And as it stands, he can't go about filibustering this close to an election. If he voted no, it'd give the republicans a chance to jump on it and use it as a weapon. So he had no ch

I'd never be happy on a calorie restricted diet. And I need all the happiness I can get!

It's not how long you live that matters, it's whether you enjoy life. I'd rather live to 50 and have a wonderful life, than life to 100 and be less happy.

I meant complex memory, not simply pathing repetition that can be replicated with an EEPROM and a few lines of code. And by that, I mean, how people are using activity in areas of the brain to say that a person is 'x' or what thinking about

6 months from now. Looking at it from a purely economic standpoint, a depreciation of anything from 1.4% to 6% a year is expected, depending on who you ask. The higher the figure, the less future money is worth. But even at the top end, 6%,

In rats. And nerve cells in a dish. And that's only the neural firing patterns. There isn't any actual proof that this HAS a detrimental effect. Did they give THC to the rats and then ask them to memorize some information, then quiz them la

There are, of course, two definitions of the word 'Faith'. There is faith as in the biblical context, putting stock and basing your life upon a collected series of written works. Or there is faith, related to a broader range of hopes and be

Not meaning to start a theological debate here, as really, it's not the place, but how exactly do faith and reason go together?

"Here is some information which has been done to death everywhere else, except this time, it's even less useful. And oh, we're really just using this to shill our product, which is just like scribd, but worse."
