This was an object that could provoke and accept the blows of anyone's desire.
(8) The object alternately stood in and performed for its audience--and the audience was in turn solicited to perpetrate the object's violence.
If Object to Be Destroyed usurps authorial control by merging the roles of artist and viewer, it also consolidates meaning around the specific life of the artist.

Let it also be said that their music from the outset has been quite child-friendly, while their songs specifically for children work just fine on most parents as well, eschewing anything cloying for a slightly milder version of the fractured poetics found in their surrealist wordplay.
Indestructible Objectis in that classic mold of an EP meant to appease and tease prior to the appearance of a full-length disc.
If Indestructible Object is any indication of They Might Be Giants' forthcoming album, it will be a good one.

God has the ability to create the indestructible object, and as long as God hasn't actually done it, there is no paradox.
Once God does it, and creates the indestructible object, it would seem that God is no longer omnipotent.
It would seem that destroying the indestructible object or forcing the will of an entity possessing freewill are not in the "set of all possibilities." For this reason, God can lack the ability to actualize these notions and still remain omnipotent.

 Dr. Dobb's | The Learning C/C++urve:Penumbra | April 15, 2003
Artur asserts that, because x references a const object, he should not be allowed to delete that object — yet his compiler allows him to delete it anyway, a property he finds dangerous.
By declaring a class object as const, all you really do is restrict how that object can be accessed: you can call only const member functions on it, you can't pass it by non-const reference, and so on.
But it implies that passing a const object as a function parameter is not 100% safe —the object might silently disappear.

 Indestructible by Rancid CD
Ten years after Rancid's debut album, INDESTRUCTIBLE shows how far the CA punks have come from their beginnings.
Certainly the influence of late-1970s British punk and ska bands can still be felt, but the sophisticated lyrics and carefully conceived (though still driving) arrangements are strictly sui generis.
It's also heartening to note that they haven't lost any of their edge; tracks like the snarling "David Courteney" and the Motorhead-meets-Bad Brains fury of "Out of Control" nearly leap off the disc and throttle the unsuspecting listener.

Objet Indestructible is a mixed media surrealist sculpture.
Originally titled Object to be Destroyed, it was created after Man Ray's lover, Lee Miller, broke off their relationship.

 MOMA exhibition showcases visual side of 'Dada' | The San Diego Union-Tribune
Man Ray finished “Object to Be Destroyed” in 1932 and replicated the work in 1964, giving his new version the wry title of “Indestructible Object.”
It's as if the supervising curators at MOMA wanted to infuse the installation with some of the anarchic quality that characterized dada itself, when more order would have been helpful to viewers trying to sort through this period of remarkable creativity.
You have to think Duchamp knew they would do something like this, confirming his point that some objects were beyond general consideration as art.

Basically, an AudioDataStream object works the same way as an InputStream (and is in fact a subclass of it), except that it can be fed into the AudioPlayer object (also part of sun.audio) and be heard as sound.
What you hear as a "plink" when a bullet hits an indestructible object is a slightly perturbed square waveform, with a faster decay.
The sound of an enemy bullet being fired is related to the spaceship firing sound, but starts out at a lower frequency and drops faster.

 Tower Records - Indestructible Object [EP] - They Might Be Giants
For these fans, INDESTRUCTIBLE OBJECT (named after a Man Ray sculpture) reconfirms high opinions, and, for the uninitiated, this five-song EP offers a winnowed-down sampler of the duo's charms (though the full-length FLOOD and the DIAL-A-SONG anthology are excellent places to start).
In addition to a spare cover of the Beach Boys' "Caroline, No," "Ant" is a fun allegory about deferred dreams that builds to a raucous conclusion, and "Memo to Human Resources," a tale about a potential suicide, demonstrates John Flansburgh and John Linnell's facility with point-of-view song narratives.
As a concise between-album offering, INDESTRUCTIBLE OBJECT finds the Johns staying true to their legacy of making smart, sing-along music.

 Robert C. Koons: Phl 356 Lecture #21
There seem to be two equally good, but opposing, answers.
If we distinguish intrinsic from non-intrinsic types, we have a principled reason for preferring the first answer to the paradox of the indestructible object, that is, a reason for thinking that God cannot create an indestructible object.
Being an indestructible object is a non-intrinsic type, and God's omnipotence should be defined exclusively in terms of intrinsic types.

They Might Be Giants: Indestructible Object EP Aversion.com Review
Quite the opposite, in fact: The Indestructable Object EP, like so many of its predecessors, is a tour-de-force of quirky wit, weird aesthetics and goofy outlooks.
The five songs – four originals and a cover of The Beach Boys’; immortal “Caroline, No,” –; on this EP show that the two Johns (Linnell and Flansburgh for the uninitiated) are nowhere near depleting their wellspring of kooky inspiration, even if it takes a more serious approach this time out.

 Phl 327: Lecture #21
Perhaps the best answer: God has essentially the greatest power that it is possible for anything to have essentially.
This makes it difficult to resolve the paradoxes -- would it be greater to be able to create an indestructible object, or not to be able to do so?
An alternative account -- in terms of the power to create situations, states of affairs: x is omnipotent iff, for all T, ff T is a possibly-instantiated, intrinsic situation-type, then x can actualize a situation-token of type T.
