Let's see....something in Genesis if I recall pertained exactly to this. Something about adultery....I think it was one of ten ideas, or laws, or fuzzy warm feelings, or something like that. Maybe commandments? Who knows, the Bible isn't really worth anything really to a Christian marriage....
The commandment is not to sleep with a married person. There is nothing about a married person himself sleeping around. At least, that is how the original (Hebrew) has it. I don't know how it's been translated into Greek/English, though.
Wow, I thought that you were joking, but you're right:

Yes, 4.0 was the release of stable the stable API and libraries. Everything you've written is true. Even the "download" page on kde.org listed 4.0 as a "developer preview" and 4.1 as "for early adopters". KDE 4.2 was the first in the 4.x series that was deemed ready for end users.
Lanner, go test KDE 4.4 or 4.5 when it comes out, and let me know what is missing for you. KDE 4.0 and 4.1 were bad, but the newest releases have achieved 99% feature parity with KDE 3.5.10, and there are lots of new features to be had as well. You can reach me personally, my Gmail username is the same as my Slashdot user name.
I am giving a presentation tomorrow on just that subject. The problem with KDE 4.0, Amarok 2.0 and Koffice 2.0 were not that they were failures. The problem is that they were branded as X.0, i.e., stable releases. They were then packaged as such and that's how the users got them.
The "N.0" moniker is an accepted and long-standing convention for a software release. Hijacking that convention and appending a "developer preview" subtitle does not change the implied stability of an N.0 release.
If you open the Control Panel and read the readme, it turns out that the "emulator" runs better in Firefox than in IE:
Michaelv.org is coded in JavaScript and strict XHTML 1.0, with AJAX functionality provided through PHP. It has been tested for compatibility in Firefox and IE. Firefox 2 or 3 is highly recommended, but the site is almost entirely functional in IE 6, 7, or 8. Media Player does not work in IE as IE lacks the ability to dynamically instantiate.
Go open up a pair of Sony headset wires, the ones with the ultra-thin, nontangle cord. Not that the two wires inside are seemingly uninsulated? Now try to solder them!
The "uninsulated wires" are apparently coated in an very thin insulating material. It looks as if the two bare wires are touching each other. They are not bare, but the coating is far thinner and lighter than conventional rubber-based insulation.
And loose all your users. They are in your 'Backwards" direction.
I have filed or triaged well over 1000 bugs for KDE since KDE 4 came out. Forget about the missing features from KDE 3 to KDE 4, they don't care about breaking compatibility from KDE 4.n to KDE 4.n+1. Even Kaddressbook, one of the core KDE apps, had severe functionality loss from KDE 4.3 to KDE 4.4. Amarok, Koffice, and other lose severe core functionality when their "new versions" were actually "technology previews" with dot-oh version numbers.
However wouldn't the state of its current existence outside of our lightcone be important if we were to say, mount a hypothetical expedition to a particular part of it at 99.99999% c, and hence would have to model where it is at the moment and where it will be when the expedition reaches it? So while not directly important it might be of indirect importance and thus impinge on our reality?
I know that it doesn't make sense to our minds which are used to Newtonian physics. I'll try to explain a bit, but you might want to read "A Brief History of Time" or some other layman's introduction.
You are right that the light emitted from the galaxy that we are seeing left that galaxy 1.5 billion years ago. You are right that time has passed for that galaxy since then (though it is not necessarily 1.5 billion years that have passed for it). However, where you are wrong is in your understanding of the terms "now", "past", and "future" in regard to objects significantly distant from us.
Information cannot travel faster than light. The events that can affect us at any given moment are organized by their distance from us divided by the speed of light: those within this "cone" can have had an affect on us (they are in our past), and those outside cannot (they are in our future). Those right on the cone are was we experience at this moment, and what we call "now". At the light from the galaxy is just now reaching us in this state, that is the state of the galaxy "now".
In other words, as we cannot possibly know what will happen (note that is _not_ past tense, though in Newtonian physics that would have been "has happened") to the galaxy after the events that we are seeing, those events are in the future for us.
I assume that you are not working with a network operator?
It looks like he is trying to independently verify/disprove his cell provider's claims. They are about as likely to send a network engineer to evaluate his situation as BP is likely to send a scientist to evaluate the situation at the bottom of the Mexican Gulf.
Anecdote: I had ATT 3G in the metro San Diego area around 2007. Speeds and coverage were decent enough to browse the web, but too spotty for anything hardcore.
There's nothing wrong with that. Softcore on the bus is cool, but people always bitch at me when I'm watching hardcore.
In our light cone this is how the galaxy appears now. There is no concept of "now" outside our light cone, as much as intuitive Newtonian physics would like that to be true.
Slashdot Mirror
Find project you like or use and start contributing. Or ask them if they need any help.
Most of the big ones do have "help us here" pages, such as KDE:
http://techbase.kde.org/Contribute
And another KDE page for those just starting out:
http://techbase.kde.org/Contribute/Junior_Jobs
So either the OP needs those links, or he is looking for smaller projects to help with. Here, let me suggest some small-project tools that I use that could use the help:
Anki, flash card application: http://ichi2.net/anki/index.html
Zim, desktop wiki: http://zim-wiki.org/
Gmail Conversation View for Thunderbird: http://github.com/protz/GMail-Conversation-View/issues
Vimperator/Muttator: http://vimperator.org/

File a bug:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=add&group_id=4421&atid=104421
The link is right there on _every_ /. page. Use your browser's on-page Search function for the word "bug".
You would have the annoying "Firefox Freeze" waiting at 99% for the page to finish loading. However, this is so common that nobody would notice.
Please comment on this Firefox bug, the Mozilla folks just don't believe me that this bug exists:

Thanks!
$ is probably the most violent symbol of all.
# is worse. That's why they invented sudo.

Why is this modded Troll? Slashdot used to be for discussion, not bashing.
Thank you Boudewijn for commenting.

Great!
Holy shit thanks for that!
There's one for Windows XP too:

Yeah, but does it run on...
YYEESS!!
It runs in Firefox on Ubuntu! Wine be damned!

you must stop looking backward.

That's the other side of the lightcone, the events that _we_ can influence. See this picture:
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/16/World_line.svg
What can influence us is the lower cone, what we can influence is the upper cone.
Real physicists use Earth's reference frame, not Earth-receive-time.
Care to explain how they differ? If I was inaccurate then I'd love to know where.
In Earth's reference frame, the speed of light is constant
Yes.
and reality is pretty close to intuitive Newtonian physics.
Really? Not on the scale of galaxies, it is not.
I know that it doesn't make sense to our minds which are used to Newtonian physics. I'll try to explain a bit, but you might want to read "A Brief History of Time" or some other layman's introduction.
