I view god as the creator, but the story in the bible is simply a story so that the people of the time could imagine how the world was formed.
Mabie in the ancient text in the ancient way of understanding the words there were a few bits of clue as to how it all worked, mabie there wern't but any subtlety has been lost to the sands of time. The story of genesis is now just a interesting story, and were starting to uncover how god really did build the universe.
Isn't it blasphemous that people can't believe god would be inteligent enough to use physics and evolution to build his universe?
With the statue of liberty now surounded by metal detectors, and state troupers armed with automatic weapons, I think I'd try Tianamen Square, I'd have a few more minutes to run away there:)
Because I'm sick of how un-friendly Gnome and KDE are becoming in there efforts to become more user friendly. In the case of KDE it seems to want me to do things it's way to much and Gnome has moved 1/2 the configuration options out to a seperate configuration editor which is quite a pain to traverse to every time you want a option which isn't normally fiddled with (what happened to the idea of an advanced option's section?).
Admitidly I don't use TWM, but I have in the past, and my current use of Enlightenment isn't a lot diferent to what TWM is but with a few bells and whistles.
It's about financial justification, you can run the numbers and see how much increased profit would be made from a drop in the piarcy figures resulting from lawsuits against random individuals.
There's quite a few factors and I'm sure Microsoft does the math on it, there's almost certantly a spreadsheet detailing the justifiable cost of implementing the product activation feature in windows XP in relation to increases of sales to people who can't be bothered now it's dificult to copy illegally.
It doesn't limit connection, you can still connect you get a message saying you won't see the content though, no protection at all from DDoS attacks/etc, just perhaps saves a little money on bandwidth.
There more expensive, can't print color photos as well as you would like, but they will run for 5000-10000 pages before needing a new toner cartridge, the ink can't dry up any more than it is, and it doesn't do a 'head cleaning' which dumps 1/2 the ink into a large sponge at the bottom of the printer every time you switch it on:)
It's really geting to the point where it's impractical even with water cooling, 300W and more is a hell of a lot of power to shift, more and more people are dabbling with refrigeration as the next step up from a plain water cooled solution, the next step up from that is cascaded refrigeration... geeks need toys to live:)
Sorry for my spelling, just to stop the abusive ****'s who moan about it, write a spellchecker for slashcode if youre that upset.
Previous election systems have been transparent and verifable at every stage, youre quite free to make sure that no one interfears with the ballet box and follow it when it's taken from the polling station to the place to be counted, and then if it's not to bussy probably find a place where you can sit back and watch the people watch the other people count the votes.
We need the same level of ability to verify that our votes have been counted in the modern age, as I think I've said before, the software, hardware and every other part of the machine that is used should be open to public inspection. Paper trail would be damn handy to stop someone changing the votes later on too.
It's a plane, yes lawnmowers can fly in strange circumstances, are highly dangerous and totally uncontrollable (not doing loop the loop and low swoops).
And since everyone else commented, I'm glad to see your nice is alive and well after being killed, I must get the name of your doctor.
There's been a Sony store in my local town for years, it seems to do ok, sony sell premium equipment at premium markups, so they don't need a vast number of sales and it's only a small outlet so probably not to costly to run either.
Remember that's more than the policeman earns in a month, it would be like bribing a US policeman with almost $2000-$3000, over a piece of software worth $300... it's not viable in the US.
Ahh my fault, I was thinking software piracy only there, you wouln't want a cheep legal copy of Adobe Photoshop with russan glyphs in the menu's. But yes music and videos, not a lot you can do.

It's quite bloody obvious what would happen, if the protocal takes off, the BSD folk need to implement a BSD version, the linux guys would then dump there version and use the BSD version because the BSD guys tend to write better code, and it would likely be more comptable, windows would then use the BSD version and MacOS X would have the BSD version by default.
No point really not releasing it under a BSD licence in the first place, save leting the BSD guys write a far better version for the world to use.
The RFC is more important than the code anyway, and there fools for not writing the RFC first.
The tradgic thing is companies arn't realising there maximum profit in countaries which can't afford to buy there product.
First up, simply lock the language in the product released, no one is going to buy a boot-legged version if it's in russian only.
That protects your expensive western markets, now calculate for each diferent price how many people would buy your product and how many would steal it, mutiply the number of sales at each cost by the the cost given by each sale, choose the maximum profit.
If there is still significant piracy after that calculation you can develop technologies which would force people to go to greater lengths, you can even work out how much each non-pirated copy is worth to work out how much you should spend developing anti-copytheft measures.
(ps someone mentioned the Bourne treaty, isn't it a convention, but this is Russia were talking about, if the policeman knocks at your door just hand him $100 and he'll go away if it's something as minor as stealing from an american company.)
Tested the mangle.cgi on my own system, Firefox crashed with a offset to a null pointer, IE however crashed, locked up the system and trying to get back though ctrl+alt+delete locked up the system totally in need of a reset button push.
Dual-headed monitors can be great, espically if your heating system isn't up to much, seems the PC's in my room are the only think keeping it semi-warm:)
You'd need an increadably expensive printer to print them out, there resolution test charts, even this free version won't be sutable for professional work even printed at 1200x1200... though, it's a good way to test youre printers resolution:)
And hell, find a good lazer like above and youve definately got something good enough to test out webcams, phone cams, and cheaper digital cameras.
It falls down because you add up the votes at the end and find 100% of the US population voted for bush, and 50% voted for Kerry... wow that's some population boom:)
Great program, very fun and seems to create some lovely things fairly quickly, shame if you don't get your drawing exactly by the book it all to easilly just prints out lots of NullPoiner Exceptions and has a seriously lacking GUI
Or any machine to which you have administrator access, no shock there, you can do that without google's desktop search.
If it were spyware wouln't that mean data was sent to google without your permission, which is very much so not the case, though you do have the option of sending data on crashes, which probably contains how many files indexed etc.
Admitidly I'm not convinced enough to install it, it's tempting, but it really doesn't seem that much better than just waiting for search results, mabie if it included whistle a tune and find it in your mp3 collection, or draw a sketch and find it in your pictures, things you just can't do today.

Moggie's are mongrel's but it sounds much more cute :)
Another great reason to vote Kerry.
What exactly would the reason to block a campaign website from the rest of the world be, xenophobia?
Who wants a damn pedegere, get a nice normal moggie from the rescue center :)
I'm sorry but SCO bought the rights to the software used in the knerd (Kernel NER Daemon), and so they own all nerds, and nerd like derivities.
If you use nerds in your company, you might get sued as the open source nature of nerds protects themselves from being sued, but not there customers.
