Because that's worked so well in the past…

Hey, no problem. On any other day, you would have caught me trolling!

Every story is more believable than the one the 9/11 cOmission put forth.

Surveillance is not prevention. "Someone" could be watching and you could still become a victim. Perhaps that person might be apprehended with greater speed and with reduced chance of mistaken identity but it's not exactly "protection," is it? The risk of surveillance far outweigh the possible benefits as…

I was not being sarcastic. I recognized the heart of a kindred spirit and saw the writer in you…accurately, apparently.

So, how did your aspirations to be a writer turn out?

Seems like he's really proud of his 6 inches.

Oh, I understand perfectly well. You're what we call a "wicked" person. You want to stand back and enjoy the universe that God prepared for you but without meeting any responsibility for the privilege. Oh, sure, there are chemicals and proteins, DNA, etc, but chemicals can't think no matter how you arrange them. …

". . .And I saw all the work of the [true] God, how mankind are not able to find out the work that has been done under the sun; however much mankind keep working hard to seek, yet they do not find out. And even if they should say they are wise enough to know, they would be unable to find out." (Ecclesiastes 8:17)

Ooh, ooh, ooh! I know this one! Evolution? Anyway, It is possible to do but not to explain how. Sorry.

That is a great question. My answer: consciousness is not in the brain. It's not even attributable to physics. It is, therefore, supernatural. Queue scoffing… go!

Oh, you have so much faith. Science is men and men find a way. Peers tend to fall into line and yield to authority and influence. Science is not immune from the crooked tendencies of man.

"Science" has no problem making assumptions—if it will result in grant money. Methinks doublethink is afoot.

It does seem rather obvious but science generally has difficulty seeing the forest with all those trees in the way. You'd think it could study that but, no.

Point taken but I would expect Apple to have different servers in different countries. Maybe they're too rich for that. Still, I wonder if Apple considered time of day as a factor in server load.

Please don't call me American. I don't accept any lies.

Why does Apple not release the update in the middle of the night? The hard core adopters would be the only ones up and the load can scale up gradually. Just sayin'
