I'm gonna regret this but...."God" does not exist. "God" is a

Really, "God" (aka perfect human) is a model as a basis for justice.
That which supports the attributes of a perfect human, is the basis for
the protection of law. That which is not the attribute of the perfect
human is punishable by law. Ergo, "God" is only a dividing line (per
se) to determine what is perfect and what is not. What is not perfect
wrong, incorrect, erroneous, ambiguous, illogical, punishable....etc...

Whatever else one chooses to believe is just as theoretical yet does
not exist because it has not manifested itself in law. Ergo, if it does
not exist (because it has not been written down as law) is conjecture.
The bible is not law because it has never been accepted as evidence
since none of it can be proved in the domain of physical existance. At
best, the bible is "spiritual law" not physical law, and therefore none
of it can be proved.

Howzat?

One big caveat, could be that USB, does not have a timeout in the drivers.

If a command is sent to a device, that the system 'knows' is there, and a
reply is expected, the system can hang waiting for a reply. This becomes
more likely, as noise levels and cable lengths increase.

USB is strictly a polled bus, so while your device may not have sent back
any data yet (effectively hanging), it MUST be sitting there sending back
'NAK' packets or the lower level bus drivers will fail your I/O request.

The same can't be said for I2C, RS-232, PCI, Ethernet, etc.! (And while I'm
personally haven't traditionally been a big fan of polled busses, USB
somewhat sold me on the concept...)

Having the polling done at the hardware level rather than having to do it in
software is convenient. Realistically, the only way a USB bus hangs is due
to buggy/crashing devices -- NOT due to line noise problems, device removal,
etc. Those are all elegantly handled by the system.

Personally, if the system is mant to be reliable, I'd consider Ethernet.

If you're programming at the TCP/IP level, this makes sense (since even
though Ethernet can't detect device removal, the TCP/IP stack will time out
sooner or later...).

What is now the bible, was originally a bunch of parables. Somehow, along
the way, it became "the truth" which those idiot fundementalists insist on
taking literally. Somehow, other cultures manage to work out right &
wrong, without the bible. On the other hand, many have also used it to
justify harming others.


Anyone, who uses "God's on our side" to justify actions against others is
extremely dangerous. This includes that guy, who had that big party in
Washington yesterday.

That doesn't change the facts, or mean that government is right to do so.

Governments _define_ "right and wrong".

You have no power over me, and I have no power over someone else. You can
make a law if you want, but I can have it revoked.

And... these are examples of powerlessness?

Only those who think they are the result of monkeys screwing each other
and sitting around picking their asses for a million years, think that
they are wise enough to control one another.

Wisdom has nothing to do with politics.

Humans pray,
which works best?

It all depends on what your goals and expectations are. You are free to
choose your own course, no big thing to me.

So, will you try to pray away the next natural disaster headed your
way, or will you assume it's sent by your deity-of-choice to punish you,
and sit still for it?

You point of view is warped by the fact that you think of rights as
something like being able to get a driver's license, or own a business.
Those are PRIVILEGES granted to you by someone, who, for some reason, you
have elevated to the status of your king, when in fact, those people are
just the same monkey droppings as you, so why are they in charge?

Ah, the old "Darwin-hate" speech.

Monkeys don't have government.

You are a complete ignoramus; monkeys and apes have exactly the same
kind of government humans do; rule by the strong interleaved with rule
in the majority's best interests. They even recruit others to their
individual "causes" if they aren't strong enough to overcome opposition.
