Actually, when you boot an alpha from the SRM, it will install & set the PAL code for the specific OS it is booting (VMS or OSF/1). On really old machines, such as my Multia and one of the Miatas, the ARC lifts off of SRM (which is fixed in later releases of the firmware it seems).

You may be right.  I had thought that the console monitor and the PAL
code were lashed together.  The whole thing is a mess.  I'd have
preferred no PAL code and 001 console monitors.  It's not obvious to
me that the whizzo VMS queue instructions are actually worth having.

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."
