it's to allow me to carry around a cpu+auth+fossil.
40G disks fo= und in inexpensive laptops are plenty big;
1GB RAM, although either 256 = or 512 MB would work.

if i could rip the display and keyboard out of= an inexpensive laptop
and put it in a very thin case, i'd be satisfied.

Nietzsche's first step is to accept what he knows. Atheism for him= goes without saying and is "contructive and
radical". Nietzsc= he's supreme vocation, so he says, is to provoke a kind of crisis and a fin= al decision about the
problem of atheism. The world continues on its course at random and the= re is nothing final about it. Thus God
is useless, since He wants nothi= ng in particular. If he wanted something -- and here we recognize the tradi= tional
forumlation of the problem of evil -- He would have to assume responsib= lity for "a sum total of pain and inconsistency
which would debase = the entire value of being born."
