  Dan Klarmann on How unique are you?
  White pages show two people with names like mine. But not me! I don't have a land line in my name.But Googling my name yields mostly pages that I've written on. Plus many sites where someone else was apparently using my name (even linking back to this site). I wonder how that works out for them? »

  Jaquisha on Sin, Sex, Secret Societies
  I really enjoyed the books The Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demon. I don't think there is anything wrong with My Saviour having a girlfriend or wife for that matter. It encourages others to get married as well. If this did happen I don't think it was right of the Church withold information. I believe in Jesus's divinity despite the book. All it di... »

  Alan B. on The crassness of a public abortion
  Sorry I am so late to the party, but I could not resist responding to Scott Evans who opined: "who are you to say who should live and who should die? Who died and made you king?"Good Lord, man, have you no respect for innocent irony meters? You blew mine to smithereens. As far as I can tell it is not Erich who is trying to impose his beliefs on ot... »

  Erich Vieth on The crassness of a public abortion
  Niklaus:To add to what you've written, The embryos from which human embryonic stem cells are derived are typically four or five days old and are a hollow microscopic ball of cells called the blastocyst. The cells of a blastocyct are completely unspecialized. http://stemcells.nih.gov/info/basics/basics3.aspUntil the human embryo is 4 or 5 days old, ... »

  Alison on The crassness of a public abortion
  Well, I don't think that God dude is as all het up about abortions as you might think, since he gave me two, and then tried to give me two more. I showed him, though. The third and fourth times, I got me a really good perinatologist, and now those two fetuses I saved from divine abortion are lovely, intelligent teenagers. At least when I got an ... »

  Niklaus Pfirsig on The crassness of a public abortion
  The Utah state assembly recently passed legislation that would charge women who have miscarriages with murder. I submit, that in the interest of equality in reproductive law, the contribution of men to causing pregnancies is not being considered. So I challenge the Utah to craft similar legislation that applies only to the men in the state. This... »

  Niklaus Pfirsig on Copyright Bite
  The purpose of both copyrights and patents are to presumably to allow the writers and inventors to profit from their work by providing a limited monopoly over that work. In reality, copyrights and patents are useless at protecting "intellectual property" (I cringe at this nonsensical term) because both instruments only give the right to sue those ... »

  LibraryTim on Are you ready for prices (of everything) to rise?
  so I don't get your posts in my google buzz anymore, at least not right now... I'm adding you to thunderbird's rss feed instead... Good article. The thing I've been thinking over is, what about nuclear power? I'm not even beginning to endorse it, but I think we in the left/progressive/raging anarchist community should think about the fact that ... »

  I'm a GIMP and OpenOffice sort of guy, when my clients don't demand that I use name brand equivalents.I used VisiCalc that came before Lotus that came before Excel. I used WordStar before WordPerfect before Word.I used GEM before Apple shut them down half a decade before Windows copied them.I make a living because I adapt. But it still irks me when... »

  Niklaus Pfirsig on On the Value of Information Technology
  Dan, We live our lives in the US immersed in a culture that indoctrinates us, from an early age to believe that value can only be measured in dollars and cents. We are also inundated with messages that lead us to believe that money and those things it can buy are much more important than the people who produce and provide the goods and services. ... »

  Dan Klarmann on Copyright Bite
  I see plenty of buzz, but little bee in these "Pirate Party" movements. Open Source and Free Software ("As in free speech, not free beer") will eventually prevail. But we are now living in the tumultuous middle period of the information revolution. »
