What do they mean by a 'modular system'? Like the old Mac Pro, with the side door? Or like hifi separates, with a separate GPU, CPU, box of ports etc?

I read the linked religious texts and the story doesn't seem compelling enough for me to stop drinking the Leffe at my elbow. The fictional story has to to good enough to resonate as a truth. Aesop had the right idea.

The y in that is the supernatural stuff - the story. I wouldn't go to see a movie if it didn't have a good story. I wouldn't go if it was just a list of facts. But that's what the dull modern atheists types want me to do

True, but history produces a variety of personalities so a longer established religion will be more rounded. Schools of thought will generate opposing schools of thought etc. Like if you throw a tennis ball hard into a circular room it will

Perhaps not to compensate, but to validate. You would never feel compelled to act in a certain way because the sky is blue, or because water is wet. But if you have a political or religious belief, however absurd, you feel a compulsion to a

Utah is more like what the US used to be like. Demographically, it's like early 60s America. Whiter, higher social trust, more Christian, neighborly, higher work ethic, higher rates of marriage, more kids, fewer illegitimate kids, no g

It is far worse than other nonsense. Can you think of one advantage of computer technology in the classroom? Tech company PR is really good, but edu tech is really just part of the corporate takeover of education that's happened over t

Computer tech in education is a con. It is completely unnecessary. There's a reason Steve Jobs limited his kids access to technology: http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/new... In fact, i

A great thing about autonomy is the ability to quickly solve national problems. Compare and contrast non-EU Iceland and EU Greece. Both came near to collapse due to financial crises. Iceland jailed the bankers and recovered. Greece is in th

Great news. Of the four happiest countries in the world, three are European countries outside the EU. Autonomy is crucial to happiness.

The culture has an ideology about race which is shared and fed by the media. It's almost a nostalgia for the sixties where people want to pin halos on themselves by pretending its the 60s and that they are fighting against segregated b

Is there a way to use a local version of Wikipedia (english) on a raspberry pi? That can be accessed and searched via the shell? On a USB stick. Images and media fils excluded. I know there is Gozim - http://scaleway.nobugware.co

It's a shame that any significant contact would wipe the Sentinelese out. Even a common cold infection would be the end of them. If we wanted to learn anything about the Sentinelese, then perhaps we could use well-camouflaged camera tr

I tried to learn Emacs, but the time allegedly saved by using it was more than countered by the time fiddling with it to get it working properly. I'd rather have a pencil than a self-assembled typewriter.

I'm drawn to this kind of setup, but I'm aware that there is an element of techno-machoism to it. It can seem more aspirational than useful.
