The banks really succeeded in convincing you that that's the price of a house, but that only says something about you, not about the real price of a house. A 500 sq ft monolithic dome house costs around $30k. It fulfills all the roles

When is it ever about "all Christians"? The whole point of Christianity letting people read the Bible is that it became many-flavored. But you want everyone to be your kind of Christian? Well, how Christian of you. :P Forming any

Ah, thanks for the edit. I've read about homomorphic computing a while ago, and I was getting excited, but there's still no fully homomorphic implementation, is that right? Is there at least proof that it is possible? This would b
