If you're going to rip apart an inexpensive laptop to utilise the display &
keyboard, to attatch it
to an inexpensive server... wouldn't it be easier to start with an
inexpensive laptop. I presume that
we're not setting this up for great lengths of time at any given location.
Since AMD laptops can be
had (relatively) cheap, I think it would be easier to use than all the work
that he was thinking
(especially given the connections that most laptops use for lcd...).

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