fwiw, I got the replacement drive today. It spins up and bios detects it.

It could be that all my sata connections are bad. I don't have another sata device or sata capable machine so I can't test that theory.

De Rigueur

I used a volt meter to see that power is getting to the drive. Tried plugging the data cable into different sata ports on the board. Used the 'detect' function on all the sata slots in the bios. The drive's still not spinning. I guess it's doa.

I got a new seagate sata hard drive and connected it, but it doesn't seem to be spinning (and it's not being detected in bios). Tried 2 power cables and 2 data cables.

Is it a bad drive or am I missing something?

Those M-audio buds were probably designed with a neutral, flat frequency response to be used in systems with a separate monitor mix. If you only want to hear yourself well enough to sing on key, what I do is stick an earplug into one ear. I'm not really a vocalist, but on the rare occasions that I ...

I liked it, too. Good voice acting.

I am attempting to appeal to ethical intuition here Dependence on intuitions is not without its difficulties. One is a lack of consensus about which intuitions to follow. Also, I think intuitions are, to a large degree, culturally conditioned and so there is a danger of setting up culture (instead ...

Both religions have the same metaethical theory, that is, that the good is what God commands. The sort of objection you raise can be applied to any ethical system based on authority and I believe it is ultimately question-begging. The objector begins with the hypothesis that the good (or more ...

[Discussing the "in it for the reward" motivation]... it's a common misperception, even among Christians themselves. I would almost say " especially among Christians". It's amazing how many churches I've been to where the message is solely about getting oneself to heaven or avoiding hell, as if ...

I, too, find in Jesus an inspiring example of noble self-sacrifice. Imitating that aspect of Jesus' teaching is a virtue worth cultivating. I do think, however, that the debate about whether the ends justify the means is a problem for ethics in general, not just ethics based on religion. As for the ...

All time favorite movie. Michael Caine as Sherlock Holmes and Ben Kingsley as Watson.

In a similar vein,

John Cleese play Holmes.

One of my favorites is Chariots of Fire.

I think you have arrived at the crux of the issue: denying the existence of the Transcendent eventually leads to nihilism. For me personally however, I don't feel compelled to make that denial. Introducing more deities to attribute purpose to life is no more useful than introducing more people to ...

Coincidentally, Jesus asked that question in Matthew 21 28\"What do you think? There was a man who had two sons.

But am I not right at least insofar that you do believe in some things about God without slack (nevermind which things)? I don't claim certainty about any of my beliefs concerning God, if that's what you mean by 'without slack.' I'm aware that I could be fundamentally mistaken about my conception ...
