    Possibilianism

    My personal take on this is closer to Ixskllr's opinion than anyone else's view. While possibilianism seems nice in its ability to encompass new ideas, it doesn't gain us anything other than some philosophical satisfaction. Considering that it feels similar to working in Group Theory, I think it...

    Possibilianism

    Is it though? Dictionary definitions change overtime to reflect current usage of words. In any case, I was just pointing out that most of the "emotional rejections" going on here (to cop Perknose) have to do with different perspectives on what atheist means. In a technical sense you're correct...

    Possibilianism

    I think your criticism of, uh, critics in this thread may be misguided. Regardless of the dictionary definition, socially (around these internet parts anyway) atheism appears to have more to do with the rejection of currently established religious dogmas. In particular "atheists" here tend to be...

    Possibilianism

    Incidentally I have, but I thought we were discussing ideas in the absence of any evidence? Certainly novel ideas are important and can be difficult to accept, Einstein incorrectly doubted the emergence of quantum theory when it first appeared. Qauntum theory, however, had evidence to support...

    Possibilianism

    I wasn't aware that "Acceptance of Tested Theory" was a proper name. ;) In any case, I think words failed here. I would never argue that religious faith has a place in science, my use of 'faith' is short hand for your longer winded rebuttal above. The dictionary definition of "faith" doesn't...

    Possibilianism

    I find the idea difficult to entertain. Even in the scientific process a degree of faith is needed to pursue an idea. I'd rather place my effort where the preponderance of evidence exists. Of course, I'm cheating a bit because this whole discussion is about ideas that exist in presence of no...

    Job applications: Snail mail, or e-mail?

    I guess this only applies for requisitions that are open "till filled": I send in my application via mail. An equally qualified applicant sends in his/her application via email. The other application gets read, passed around for review, and the individual is interviewed before mine even...

    How come Pre 1995 honda/accura/toyota always have ~100k miles?

    Depends on the driver and how the car was used... I have a BMW from '87 with 'only' ~170,000 on it. The really high mileage cars probably all went the way of dodo as they become too expensive to repair over the years.

    What seemingly "important" things would you be fine with removing from the world?

    *hugs* internet. While I'm on a roll fast food too. To HAL9000: That's interesting you were referring to the OS. I split my time between classes (and developing) for both Windows and Linux based systems. I guess I couldn't imagine a world without a largely prevalent Windows OS.

    How does ATOT drink its tea?

    Depends, with milk most of the time, and without milk when the milk has gone sour because I haven't drunk enough tea...hmm :(

    What seemingly "important" things would you be fine with removing from the world?

    I'll understand windows as in glass panes; interesting, many in the developed world would have to certainly make a lifestyle change. I'd probably dump almost all television shows, only watched a couple series as a kid and don't have cable, satalite, or even a regular OTA antenna now.

    does a city like this exist in the US?

    I'd say the Pacific NW and Seattle in particular comes pretty close to your requirements. It occasionally gets hotter than 85 in the summer and occasionally colder than 40 during the winter, but otherwise its nice here. To the poster above mentioning the rain and humidity, while it does rain...

    Help with some car suggestions ? EDIT: picked a car, how to get best price?

    Going along with the other Audi recommendations I am going to suggest something slightly odd... The A4 rather than the A6. The A4 starts in the low 30s, but once you've actually specified it with options that you want it ends up in the sweet spot of your price range. For instance, a new quattro...

    What's your used car hunt been like lately?

    Yeah the market does seem to be pretty bad, but it can also depend on what you're looking for... I actually just bought a used audi for 3k under KBB, but it was a stick that the dealer had on lot for 4+ months (according to Carfax...)

    Falling in love with a transgender man...

    I can appreciate the difficulties of love and relationships in the story. I can also understand that love and sexual attraction are different things (sometimes). That story, however, read like one of the twilight novels (yes, I have read them), I could have easily removed any transgender...

    Do all the people here whining about privacy file tax returns? If you don't file a tax return, don't have a social security number or don't hold a green card/are not a legal resident, then more power to you for being a rebel. Otherwise, the IRS is already collecting far more sensitive (at least...

    Apparent Memory Problem

    How many times have you dialed 911 in your life?

    Once, when I was puking my guts out in a dorm (turned out I had appendicitis) and couldn't stand up long enough w/o blacking out to get help in the dorm. I felt like an absolute idiot, but oh well.

    Cheap Server

    Here's my suggestion, buy new HDD and scrounge the rest used. My current webserver is a 800Mhz P3, 512Mb SDRAM, random stock intel micro-ATX MB, no-name cheapo CD-ROM drive, and the most expensive part of the kit, a 120 GB HDD. I have a newer 1 GHz P3, and some ram I have been meaning to...

    i think if you are good looking and/or rich...

    I would say that cash does not directly equal happiness, but (and this IMHO is a big but) it certainly makes the quest or enjoyment of said happiness easier. Also being poor and destitute isn't exactly a primrose path either. The same goes for goods looks, it is a facilitator, a particular kind...
