Well, I'm kind of a big deal. Also, I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany. Oh, and I'm an atheistic, liberal son of a gun. I love: All sports but golf, cricket, and slow sports USA I hate: Sex Panther TSA Discrimination/Stereotyping/Intolerance Or and I'll leave this (for future reference and copy-paste answers): There is no evidence for God, and none against God. In order to have evidence to prove/disprove God, we need to have the idea of what God is. Furthermore, since no one has an idea of what God is (the Bible is not reliable as a source), no one has evidence on either side of the argument.

  • FFB Advice: Julio Jones + CJ Spiller for Adrian Peterson?

    My team:

    QB - Stafford

    RB - Spiller

    RB - Chris Johnson

    WR - Calvin Johnson

    WR - Julio Jones

    TE - Kyle Rudolph

    RB/WR - Maurice Jones-Drew

    D/ST - Bears

    K - Prater

    Bench - Tony Romo (QB)

    Bench - Cecil Shorts (WR)

    Bench - Mike Williams (WR)

    Bench - Jay Cutler (QB)

    Bench - Isaiah Pead (RB)

    Bench - Jordan Cameron (TE)

    Bench - Buccaneers (D/ST)

    Should I trade Julio and CJ for AP? Or should I stick with this squad?

    2. Alternatively, I was thinking about trading Chris Johnson and Matthew Stafford (or Romo) for Stevan Ridley (RB). Worth it?

    3. In another league, I'm thinking about trading my Tom Brady (QB) and Frank Gore (RB) for Adrian Peterson (RB), do I propose the trade? Afterwards, Russell Wilson becomes my starting QB and AP gets paired with Marshawn Lynch (RB) and Demarco Murray (RB/WR).

  • Can someone explain Aristotle's Law of Non-contradiction?

    In particular, what does Aristotle mean when he says "at the same time" and "in the same respect"?

    Focusing on Book IV (Gamma, I believe), I'm trying to analyze the law's place in human thought and rationality. The "in the same time" qualification seems obvious, but I'm unsure about "in the same respect". Moreover, how would the law falter if one or both of those qualifications weren't included?

    I'm particularly weak at understanding philosophy, so any explanations would be appreciated.

  • What are the benefits of the Poverty Line?

    The problems with the line are easy to see (i.e., over/under-stating poverty, not taking into account regional differences or family sizes, etc.), but the actual benefits are hard to notice. Aside from ease for determining the poor (eligible for federal aid), are there any other benefits?

  • Does anyone know this painting?

    I am trying to find the name or details about this painting I saw a few months ago in the Museo del Prado (I believe that's where I saw it).

    It consists of a group of soldiers (maybe on the beach or something, don't remember) preparing for death by firing squad. Some men look fearful, some look defiant, some are praying, and some are getting blessed by monks/priests. They're all standing in a line.

    I believe the title is a bit lengthy, and I believe the artist is Spanish.

    Can anyone help?

  • 1. Why doesn't TSA or DHS realize that...?

    ...while they're making it more difficult for terrorists to travel through the air, they can easily commits acts elsewhere?

    My idea of TSA thinking: "Let's sink millions into uber-radiation revealing scanners and inappropriate pat-downs, while terrorists learn that they should just stay out of the airport."

    Nothing is stopping terrorist operatives from making car bombs, shooting up crowded places, or even blowing up buildings.

    2. How long is it before DHS tracks our purchases or makes us undergo scans upon entering malls, schools, etc.?

  • Uninstalled Linux Mint, un-partioned hard drive, why does Mint still show up when I boot up?

    The title sums it up. I installed and un-partitioned, but then Linux Mint still shows up as an OS selection when I restart the Computer (clicking it does nothing).

    And I know, some of you will be like "you deleted the wrong OS, Windows 7 should have been gone" and all that pro-Linux stuff.

  • is this a good fantasy football trade?

    Marques Colston (other team) for Mike Williams (Seattle one, me).

    Looks like the Saints are starting to heat up. However, Brees spreads the ball around a lot, and Lance Moore is on fire. On the other hand, Williams is coming off a monster game and I'm not sure if he'll keep producing. This is an issue of sell high while he's hot, or stay with him and see what happens.

    Opinions?

  • Which major club has the most players left?

    I would think it's a toss-up between Bayern Munich and Barcelona, seeing as Spain is Barcelona without Messi and Germany is Munich without Robben/van Bommel.

    BQ: How about, which major club has done the worst, as in, which club's players got wiped out from the club? (I'd say Chelsea).

  • Fantasy Baseball trade advice, please?

    Is Garrett Jones for Jason Bay (mine) a fair trade? In terms of numbers, Bay only has a slightly better BA (.280 vs .278), more runs (39 vs 29) and a few more steals; other than that, Bay is behind in the two power categories:

    Jones has 10 HRs (vs 4), 42 RBIs (vs 27).

    Mind you, my league only uses BA, Runs, RBIs, HRs, and steals (which would mean Bay has a 3-2 advantage). So, should I sacrifice a few things to improve on the power stuff I lack in? Or should I hold on to Bay and hope he gets out of this ridiculous slump?

  • Who can give me anti-virus advice?

    After recently being hit with over 50+ infections (adware, trojans, almost every type) in particular the dreaded Win 7 Security Tool, I think it's time to reconsider my protection.

    I had/have AVG Free (latest) but AVG apparently let in all those infections (and was not able to remove the Win 7 Security Tool). I now have that program and Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, which actually was able to clear all the infections.

    Is that enough, would the AVG/Malwarebytes' combo protect better in the future?

    Or, should I scrap AVG and get avast or Avira while sticking with Malwarebytes' as an on-demand scanner/remover?

    Or, should I have three: AVG, avira or avast, and Malwarebytes?

    See, what I like about AVG is the simplicity, the lightness of resources, and the fact that on google it will mark which websites are safest (or not). Suggestions?

    PS: I want FREE software, and I have Windows 7.

  • Fallacies in Genesis?

    1. If God is omnipotent, why does he have to rest?

    An all-powerful being would need no rest, right? It would be normal, if not trivial, to create everything.

    2. Doesn't God telling Adam to name all the animals seem absurd?

    There are millions of species, with most of them being in the ocean (possibly deep) and in far-flung places in the world, so wouldn't naming them be impossible for a normal man like Adam?

    3. If God said eating from the Tree of Knowledge would result in death during the SAME DAY, why did Adam live 930 more years?

    There's plenty more, but I'll leave it at that.

  • video editing questions?

    Hi, I have a few questions for you. I'm in my high school's TV Production crew and I'm looking to upgrade my software. I'm looking for an easy-to-use program like i-movie/windows movie maker, for PC (Windows 7). I want to simplicity of those programs but with a lot of effects and transitions (like imovie). As well, I'm looking for a post-production effects program like After Effects, but easier to use (it's too complicated).

    To recap, a simple editing program with ample effects and transitions, and an easy-to-use video compositor. Thanks.

    I've been considering getting Linux lately, but want to keep XP installed on my laptop as well.

    Is there a way to have both and be able to choose which one I want to use at a given time? Or when I start the comp up?

    A friend of mine is able to slect which OS he wants everytime he starts it up, I was wondering how you could do that.

    As well, is there a way to download Ubuntu straight to the HDD without making CDs? Again, while keeping XP still installed.
