I'll rest on the 7th and 10th commandments as the basis for my opinion.

You mean these? [If this is confusing to you, see http://jhuger.com ]

VII

And thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, of the firstfruits of wheat
harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year's end. Thrice in the
year shall all your menchildren appear before the LORD God, the God of
Israel. For I will cast out the nations before thee, and enlarge thy
borders: neither shall any man desire thy land, when thou shalt go up to
appear before the LORD thy God thrice in the year.

X Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.

Had beef stroganoff lately? How was your feast of weeks this year?

ObFood: I ate lunch at Google today. Amazing. Seared scallops in Thai
curry sauce with red pepper puree garnish; the best pad thai ever;
broccoli and green beans in a lovely brown sauce; and a
raw-tuna-and-avocado poke (is poke the word? help me out here). Best
buffet lunch I've ever had, and the price was better than right.

those of us who think the bible is a bunch of [censored] are off the hook"

Yes, and I'm just using only the firewall at home, no
AV, never.

Uh oh. That will hurt you at some point.

If I'd start to download files from unknown servers/domains, yes,
an AV would be necessary, but I never do it, so I don't need an
AV, just my firewall.
If I need something, I go for it on reliable sites. Never
happened to need something I can not find on reliable sites.
And when the next Sasser or whatsitsname will come, many AV will
be fooled up while a plain simple old firewall will block the
door they need to come in.
I have seen many people getting various viruses even though they
had an expensive and up-to-date AV. This said, no AV here.

Could you please give more information about where Google is? I can't find a
listing for it in the 510, 707, or 415 area codes.

my first reaction to the commandment thing is always "well, if the bible
means so much to them, why arent they keeping the other 400-odd
commandments that are applicable?"

It's in Mountain View (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway) but you can't just go
have lunch there; you have to have an invitation from an employee, and
the employees have two invites a month to give out.

A firewall is good, but not omnipotent. I use a router (built in
firewall) but I still have minor problems when I scan.
