Form the full article: "Mr. Jackson said that Ms. Duplaga did not wish to be interviewed. On Friday, no one answered the door at the beige colonial-style house on Ridgeview Avenue where she rents an apartment diagonally opposite a church." Why are they telling everyone exactly where this lady lives?

Just think of all the trees you'll save by not throwing away your $70!

Nice HalfLife reference, Bucket. I always thought we didn't go there because of the zombies and booby traps.

Places like this really fascinate and inspire me. I think I may add this to my list of places I must visit before I die.

Every day I do a "Daily Link Roundup" of great stuff (mostly tech related) that goes on. Here's the one for today, for example: http://www.grinn.net/blog/dev/2008/02/daily-link-roundup-of-404s-and-snaps.html

I'm still trying to figure out why someone would want an onion you can't rip. (j/k)

I think there's a lot of people that would buy this thing to put in their office. Not so much because it helps the planet as much as it being a big shiny object that will let other people know that they are helping the planet.

There's a lot of stuff like this out there. The biggest, IMHO, is hybrid vehicles. Sure, that hybrid you're driving is emitting less polluting chemicals, and everyone gets to see you "saving mother earth", but in the long run all hybrids do is squelch the demand for ZERO emission solutions like hydrogen or solar.

@CPT. TIM: Yes, I am a Christian but don't believe in eternal damnation. I believe that, like many of the beliefs that dominate modern Christianity, the concept of hell didn't originate in the Bible. Instead it was indoctrinated by the Christian church to help convert people of other faiths to Christianity (the concept of hell exists in many "pagan" beliefs), and is still used today as fear motivation in many Christian groups. Most of the biblical examples people give of hell as we think of it today are actually just referring to "the grave" or "the ground".

This probably isn't the proper forum for a discussion on Theology though. If you want to talk more about this feel free to send me an email by visiting grinn.net and clicking Contact Us.

I don't think that there's anything wrong with using our growing understanding of science to better understand what God means in His Word. Remember my perspective here: I have a book that I believe is written by someone who knows more about science than any man because He created it. If you read a paper by Einstein when you were 15, then read it again later on in life when you had a better understanding of the subject, you'd probably interpret it more accurately having a more mature understanding of the subject.

I didn't mean to offend anyone by saying that "not everything everyone says about evolution is accurate to proven theory". I wasn't knocking the scientific method - I was simply saying, "Hey. Just because someone says something doesn't make it fact."

And as far as all the damnation talk is concerned, I don't believe in that crap either.

(Feel free to bash on my beliefs now. I won't argue anymore.)

As a man of God and a professional geek I've had trouble in the past making the two meet. In the end I find that all true science fits with my beliefs, including a lot of evolutionary theory. It just takes a lot of thinking outside of the box and not listening to the assumptions made on either side. For example, the bible doesn't say that dinosaurs had to exist at the same time as man, and not everything everyone says about evolution is accurate to proven theory.
