This is why religion should be banned and vilified
Making science the bad guy makes sense to these whack-jobs. People who can give credibility to an old text, and more credibility the older it is, are too far gone to be allowed an opinion. This shit has got to stop, The vigour of your faith has nothing to do with the veracity of your beliefs. Holding your breath until you turn blue will just get us to call an ambulance. Its time for people to use...

On Apple sans Steve
You can’t say it any better than Gruber over at Daring Fireball (www.daringfireball.net) ” Jobs’s greatest creation isn’t any Apple product. It is Apple itself.”

It seems the trouble in England can be solved, by blocking some from social media. see http://gigaom.com/2011/08/11/blaming-the-tools-britain-proposes-a-social-media-ban/ (thanks to www.daringfireball.net) In further news, smoke signals are to be banned. The post is to be closed. Speaking is still allowed if a permit is acquired. Needless to say nodding and winking will carry a jail term.

Apple has the capcha of the hardware business. Suppose I have connected a key logger to your computer. Maybe a physical one or maybe a software one but it is there and copying everything you type. Suppose that I could use the internet and, armed with all this info and a black heart, get into your computer remotely and do malice. In previous iterations of OSX I would log on or have a screensaver...

On Human Transit (www.humantransit.org) Jarrett Walker says the following. Speed and reliability are not about vehicle technology; they are about what can get in your way. If you read nothing else. Understand nothing else. Learn...

Just re-read last posted article..
..the Mother Jones piece afore. My neologism of the day-Christo-fascism. This is the small god of this, this aptly named Cain is Louisiana. How pathetic is it that this is an almost only in America phenomenon? We need history to equal it, from Rome to Berlin, from B.C. to WWII.
