I think you mean "nerd". Since, that is what I am.
The latter carries the negative connotation, not the former, I was informed.

There have been a few other topic titles like that (and ones that sounded funny when abbreviated on the main page), but I think this one wins.

I'm now picturing a UBB forum strapped to one of these:

I'm also excited about what comes after Avernum 6. Personally I was hoping for a bit more about this world, but I guess you have to move on to new settngs eventually.

There are a few settings I wouldn't mind seeing, but here's one: Steampunk. Brought on by excessive reading of Studio Foglio's comics, probably...

Frankly, this is enough. I like to poke fun at my friends across the pond, and Bush is a dangerous moron. But your non-sequitural, ungrounded and senselessly repetitive bashing damages the credibility of the rest of us Europeans. Clean up your act.

Regardless of whether the closest literal meaning is "I'll have time for both", "I'll have time for at least/exactly one" or "I won't have time", it's not grammatically sound.

"I will neither have time for participating nor for judging" would be closer.

(Oh my god. I'll be swinging glistening scythes next.)

Failing to comment or even provide a summary of what the code is supposed to do, and then making fun of people for not understanding it, is a deep folly indeed. In hell, you will be trapped in an eternal for loop and forced to write "//increment i by 1" for ever more. :P

Personally reminds me of the Vicarius Filii Dei numerology bit.

Quoth the statistician, "give me three free parameters and I'll draw you an elephant", but replied the symbologist "give me a name or number and a point and I'll make the former prove the latter".

So let’s say we get a woman that meets all of the qualifications for an elder except for her sex. The moment we decide to make her an elder we cease functioning as Christians and have started to form a man-made religion. God’s spirit no longer works with us and our religion becomes vain.
And that belief is part of why no rational person will accept your interpretation of faith.

If she is qualified, then she is qualified. There can be no other way.

If there was never a Christ then there certainly is not now. But, if there was then he is still here.
You neglect the possibility that Christ existed - historically - and was a normal, mortal human.

The advance of technology leading to greater suffering and death in war is an explanation, not an excuse. Genocide and ethnic cleansing have been around for thousands of years, they are not a recent invention. They have merely been made more deadly.

On the other hand, technology has also helped to reduce suffering and danger in other areas. So neither the decline of religion nor the advance in technology is a bad development that should not have happened. It just means that we have to become more responsible as we become more powerful.

Nanowrimo demonstrates that having to clear your schedule just adds to the suspense. :P

(However, timezones are far more crucial when it's only a single day, so I agree).
