Conventional logic holds that people don't carry baseballs around with them. Conventionally, would you think a person with pockets full of baseballs as "normal"? Do you carry everything you own in case you have to logically prove to someone that you own it in the event that some conventional debate arises?

I've never known a christian to react like that when someone asks to prove Gods existence. If someone is sincerly asking the question we'll usually talk about why we believe. If someone is being hostile I'll walk away.
- ChiliMac
ChiliMac, on a serious note, it's really dependent on the parties conversing. I've openly had many discussions on religion. It's also helpful to comprehend the other party's(ies') views and backgrounds, to have amicable discussions. :)
- Mona Nomura
Mona: You are absolutely right, it does depend on the parties. I believe most people still know how to and are polite and respectful of one another. I was having this conversation with a friend from my church the other night. His roommate had criticized him for reading books by Dawkins. We disagreed with him. We should understand those who have different opinions then ours and be respectful to one another.
- ChiliMac
could also be titled "conventional logic vs evolutionist logic" or "conventional logic vs global warming logic". i see more unfounded dogma from these two groups than any other.

Definitely something Richard Dawkins would approve of! :) And @ChristopherCarr - the Celestial Teapot was the first thing I thought of when I saw this.

"But he took it a step further, allowing fans to pay for backstage access and dinner with NIN during their current tour with Jane's Addiction. (Mr. Reznor claims this will be NIN's last jaunt on the road). He raised more than $850,000 for Mr. De La Cruz. "I was amazed that I could do that," Mr. Reznor said. "We want to turn it more into about change in the healthcare system, and these stories, these small stories about people can help do that." Sure thing, Mr. Reznor. You could have it all."

Mike - for the record, I needed something relatively awesome to show on TV. There weren't that many amazing programs out there back in early '97. It was either spinning text or a rick roll, and since Rick Rolling didn't hit it big until recently...

While we can now use a retail Mac OS X DVD to turn our PC into a hackintosh, we still need a bootloader to get it to recognize and install OS X the first time. The good news is, after a successful installation, we can now install any updates from Apple without breaking our system or reinstall the operating system without having to add the same kexts (drivers) that we already have that makes our non-Mac standard hardware peripherals work.

i use it, registered it last year when they had a rebate (you get a bit more options and flexibility, thats all). Pretty excellent for speeding up copying of lots of little files.

I love this app. and use it all the time. Continues to copying/moving files when one or more files are in use or locked, unlike the default Windows!!

"GM spokesman Tom Wilkinson said the auto maker, which leases the planes, had decided to get rid of two of its five remaining jets before this week's hearings as part of deep cost cutting under way at the company. The company sold two planes in September. "We understand the symbolic issue of people showing up in Washington in corporate jets," Wilkinson said. "We're very sensitive to that." All travel at the company is getting cut dramatically as GM, which burned through $6.9 billion in cash in the third quarter, struggled to stay afloat. GM has eliminated half the workers who staff its Detroit-based hangar and planes, Wilkinson said. Wilkinson said GM's top executives are required to use company planes for air travel as part of security requirements set by the company's board of directors. The planes make for expedient, safe travel and also allow executives and their teams to travel to places not easily accessible by commercial airlines, he said."

One rainy night eight years ago, in Watertown, Massachusetts, a man was taking his dog for a walk. On the curb, in front of a neighbor’s house, he spotted a pile of trash: old mattresses, cardboard boxes, a few broken lamps. Amidst the garbage he caught sight of a battered suitcase. He bent down, turned the case on its side and popped the clasps. He was surprised to discover that the suitcase was full of black-and-white photographs. He was even more astonished by their subject matter: devastated buildings, twisted girders, broken bridges — snapshots from an annihilated city. He quickly closed the case and made his way back home. At the kitchen table, he looked through the photographs again and confirmed what he had suspected. He was looking at something he had never seen before: the effects of the first use of the Atomic bomb. The man was looking at Hiroshima. In a dispassionate and scientific style, the seven hundred and one photographs inside the suitcase catalogued a city seared by a new form of warfare

I've posted the one photo out of the lot which is creepy as crap. The article says there's 701 photos. Where are they all? Higher res too please!

i'm confused, so when would this be useful?

I believed the FF bookmarklet can do all that with just one click.
- Jonathan Kong
This is a proof of concept. you can now build your own app that [e.g.] reads your band's tour dates and posts a reminder about each gig one day before the show (the public has a short memory). This way you can afford to be offline while touring. This is just from the hip. I'm sure you can think of other ways to use this pipe
- ĎÚβĨŐÚŚ Dod
@Jonathan: but you can't post an image directly from the web and linking to image URL (case: http://friendfeed.com/e...), OR post an image that isn't on a web page (example: http://friendfeed.com/e...), OR post 3 images and each image is linking to different URL (example: http://friendfeed.com/e...). Can your bookmarklet do any of those?

White’s Books, ex-Penguin designer David Pearson’s new venture, hopes to reaffirm traditional methods of book production. The first four offerings from the publishing house are out this month, sporting covers by illustrators Petra Börner, Joe McLaren, Stanley Donwood (above) and Pearson himself… The selection will no doubt be on a few Christmas lists this winter, thanks in no small part to Pearson’s art direction on the project he founded with publisher, Jon Jackson. We talked to Pearson about their work to date and his first illustration commissions. http://www.creativereview.co.uk/crblog...

"I’ve been noticing lately, much to my delight, that there seems to be a resurgence in retro themed web designs. Whether we’re feeling nostalgic for the classic floral wallpaper in Grandma’s old kitchen or simply watching too much Mad Men; retro appears to be in vogue. This has led me to scouring the Internets on the prowl for the perfect retro Photoshop pattern. I ended up finding 208 of ‘em, and thought I’d share them with you. Enjoy, daddy-o."

Chris, unfortunately, by not voting for Obama or McCain, it is LIKE you're not voting at all even if you do vote.
- Lindsay
Because a vote for anyone other than Obama or McCain is a vote for no one. This isn't a 3 party system. This is a binary system. You can either vote for A or B. A vote for neither is a vote for the winner. Lucky for all of us Obama doesn't need your vote to take Washington. And voting for Ron Paul won't get you anything but an excess of smug.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
Obama is an idiot. McCain is also an idiot. Discuss. Either way, Alex, you're voting for an idiot. :)

Idiots they may be, but they're the only choices we've got if we want our votes to matter at all. And I would rather have the lesser of two idiots in office so I will cast my lot on Nov. 4th for the one I prefer.
- Lindsay
Call Obama what you will, but "idiot" is weak.
- JCunwired
You're right in that they both suck. I'm getting a write-in ballot so that I can vote "present." Legitimizing either, even in the slightest way, would require my abandoning too many important principles. This is all about stewardship... what I leave for my kid... what my generation keeps and improves for the next. When the parties nominated these two, it was nothing but FAIL.
- Bob Finch
Because, as a regular third-party voter myself, the third party choices this year range from horrible to the usual gang of idiots to even nuttier than usual.

Neither is an idiot. Both are tools. I'll throw away my vote to a third party and sleep well for the next four years.

from twhirl
having to choose a lesser of 2 evils is no choice at all! If neither of the candidates are what you want, why do you have to vote for one of them anyway to spite the other? surely you would vote for who you want. Personally, I would LOVE to see a "no confidence in system of government" box appear on ballots too so they can guage just how many people think government is fundamentally broken!
