Charles: What is the purpose of running Linux on a separate partition, or using any of the "two OSes simultaneously" programs?

I mean, I can see that for some people it's geeky fun -- but if (like me) one doesn't enjoy geeky fun, what purpose could it serve? Why are you doing it?

Running Windows alongside OSX I can see a reason for -- because there might be a Windows-only application one might need to run. But Linux? Unless you're using your home computer as a server, then why?

From the comments section, it seems that men around the world had their brains stop functioning upon seeing the video.

Political videos might get 5,000, 10,000, 20,000 views if they're lucky. Videos of guys falling on their faces and girls dancing get millions of views.

It wasn't Israel's founding that uprooted the Arab (there were not 100,000 Palestinian Arabs then) but the Arabs rejection of the partition plan and choice to go to war with Israel to murder every Jew, and destroy the State, in addition to the Arab nations insistance that Arabs "get out of their way".

Here's an interesting thought about aliens I stole from Marcel Lossi:

"If an alien civilization comparable to our own exists, it should achieve singularity within 200 or 300 years after the invention of radio. I think it is more likely that the aliens are too advanced. If technology on the planck-scale or even sub-planck scale is possible and they have uploaded themselves into the quantum foam or explored the higher-dimensional spaces of the multiverse as described by M-theory they would be invisible. They would transcend our universe before moving more than a few lightyears. It wouldn’t make sense for them to convert the universe into 'computronium'. If they can create new universes with completely different laws of physics (for example a much higher light speed, a smaller planck length, more dimensions... everything that could be used for better information processing) why should they expand in this universe. It would be as pointless as trying to exploit the additional computational capacity of computer chips by arranging them as an abacus."

There is no official doctrine from the Magisterium on the subject.

What I have heard from orthodox priests and theologians is that aliens might or might not have souls (consciousness of Goodness, Truth, Beauty....quickie definition.) Even if they had souls, they might not be fallen creatures, and thus would not need a savior.
CS Lewis's space trilogy has an unfallen planet in it w/ weird little innocent creatures....visited by fallen humans.

re: #78 zombie

But do they have souls?

And if so, is it our duty to make them aware of salvation through Jesus?

re: #107 Killgore Trout

Good questions. Any of our resident theologians know?

Humans are made in the image of God. God is not an old man in the sky, he is extra-physical, so obviously this doesn't refer to our appearance. Rather, it is our reasoning, our ability to communicate, etc [In a qualitativly different way than other animals do]. This is evidence of a soul/spirit. If we found extra-terrestrials with these traits, more like us than other animals, I think most churches would assume they had souls as well. If they sinned, which seems likely, I would assume that Jesus died for them just as much as for me, even though they were seperated by vast space.

re: #166 Ma Sands

Ma - do you have an air mattress or something to put your sleeping bag on ?

I've seen a UFO. But in my case it really was an actual UFO in the original meaning of the term -- i.e. something in the sky that i couldn't identify. Basically, it (appeared to be) just a light that traveled across the entire expanse of the sky, from one horizon to the other, in about ten or fifteen seconds. Happened right after dusk. At the time I thought it must be some kind of experimental aircraft that was traveling mind-bogglingly fast. But in retrospect I think it may have been a satellite either in low orbit or falling to earth and reflecting the sun's light toward me "alpenglow-style"; alternately, it was a bird or a small flock of birds that were much much closer than I realized and hence weren't traveling that fast at all. But it looked much more like an illuminated light, and not light reflecting off something.

It was not, however, a "flying saucer," nor were there little grey men, or whatever. Just something unidentified in the sky. Nothing more. I suspect it had a pedestrian explanation.

North Carolina Community Colleges Will No Longer Admit Illegal Immigrants

RALEIGH, N.C. — North Carolina's community colleges will no longer admit illegal immigrants, returning to more restrictive policy on the advice of the state Attorney General's Office.

Last year, the system said it would enroll illegal immigrants who are 18 years old and high school graduates at all of its 58 campuses. The policy provoked heavy criticism, especially from the leading candidates for governor.

The system later asked North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper for guidance on whether the admissions policy was legal under federal law. Last week, Cooper's office suggested the system drop the admissions policy.

On Tuesday, the community colleges said it would follow the advice from Cooper's office.

Actually, it is perfectly valid in science to discuss what the requirements for life are, and where life could exist.
I also find it useful to discuss life that isn't as we know it, because it gives me a chance to talk about energy sources, chemical reactions that produce or consume energy, etc.

Human Shield Movement to Iran receives 10,000th pledge

The Human Shield Movement to Iran today claimed its 10,000th pledge volunteer and warned President Bush that any attempt at military intervention against Iran would be met by a massive mobilization of human shields.

The human shield movement to Iran has been mobilizing for over three years now using online mechanisms such as Pledge Bank to secure volunteers willing to travel to Iran to position themselves around civilian infrastructure sites in order to try and prevent what they believe would be a catastrophic and unjustified attack. Whilst it is expected that most missiles will be directed at military installations the human shields are concerned that sites in the Iranian capital will also be targeted. Today Steven Morris from Birmingham was the 10,000th person to pledge himself as human shield volunteer. Volunteers from 22 countries have already pledged themselves to the mission and are currently in the latter stages of preparation in order to be ready to travel to Iran "at very short notice".

They are "pure intelligences," not physical beings and therefore do not occupy space. (We could digress here into the # of angels dancing on the head of a pin stuff, if we wanted to!) On the other hand, when acting as messengers from God to humans they have to reveal themselves in bodily, sensate form or we couldn't get the message.....thus apparitions, voices, etc. They therefore can't be angels (in the strict meaning of messengers) w/o being terrestrial!
