    The 'Atheists & Agnostics' thread makes me chuckle. Christians do not represent all religious people, nor does that survey really represent anyone but American Christians. :lol:

    Yep. I'm firmly convinced that the strident American atheist is largely a reactionary product of the strident American Christian.

    Yes. Though I think it is important to keep in mind which of those two groups has a monopoly on political power that makes Rockefeller look like a chump.

    I figured you would probably be rearranging atoms. The big cost as Passer pointed out is power. Splitting atoms to their base parts takes a lot of energy and tends to release lots of energy as well. Then you would have to take the split pieces and rearrange them in a way that produces the materials you need. Then from there you need to align it in the pattern of what ever you are making be it a car, water or a tasty strawberry.

    I think I went way to far in thought process in this.
    Nah, you just took it to the logical conclusion, replicating physical objects requires physical material.

    If I ever found myself in a good financial position with a relatively stable life, I could see myself adopting an older kid, helping them get an education, and supporting them until they become an adult.

    But I really wouldn't consider that parenthood so much as charity.

    You can do this already, without having them actually living with you (unless you want to, of course). There are plenty of ways to give money to support specific children's educational and room and board needs, outside of those cheesy ones you see commercials for.

    Perhaps a google would suffice?

    But it's basically this new version of a virus that is going to affect the core systems of the nuclear reactor somewhere in Iran and blow it up.

    So it's a digital program capable of doing damage to the physical world. It's a cyber-missile.

    That was me editing Echo's post. StuxNet was a very sophisticated virus that somebody infiltrated into an Iranian nuclear reactor. It appears that the virus looks for a specific subsystem of the reactor and will attempt to shut it down on a certain date.

    It was basically a custom-built security attack designed specifically for this one purpose. A cyberwarfare magic bullet.

    The more I see comments like this the more I realize I must know the most unusual of religious people.

    Of course, most Muslims I know are converts or scholars, and most Christians I know have academic backgrounds. In both cases they attend services and study sessions on their own regularly. This probably has something to do with it.

    It's too focused for me to think it's some random virus writer. I mean those Siemens systems aren't common compared to Windows boxes. And it uses some very clever Windows exploits. Better money in running a bot net then holding a certain factory hostage.

    :O

    Seriously, a virus that would have taken a team of 5-10 over 6 months to engineer, targeting specific industrial systems from a particular vendor, manages to get inside an Iranian nuclear power plant by a USB flash drive?

    How can that not be backed by some government somewhere?
