You seem to understand a lot about life. It is true that there is pain, death, hell (some of my break ups have come close to that.) Are you complaining that God didn't create a place where everyone is happy all the time?
He did, and you've been there. Like Adam chose to leave the Garden of Eden (yes it was a concious choice to leave) you also chose to leave.
Why chose to leave?
In a simple way, so that you could actually experience life. If you in your time machine went back to Adam and had a little interview (music...)
You: Adam you aren't wearing anything are you Cold?
Adam: I've never been Cold here.
You: Are you warm then?
Adam: I've never been Warm here.
You: Do you have any idea of what Temperature is?
Adam: I know its there but I've never experienced it.
You: Yes you have, you are experiencing it now!
Adam: How would I know?
(music...)
Boy Meept would be proud of that one.
As a child I never experience romantic Love, and in a way they are incapable of it. I have now, and although I would like to get rid of the painful times I can't, becuase without them i wouldn't have had the happy times. Without them I wouldn't have experienced Romantic Love. Given the option I would (in and a way did) make the same decision Adam made. He didn't make a mistake and neither did you.
Now that I find myself having made that choice, I can see that I can still affect that choice. I can stay indoors and lead a sheltered life and never experience Love life or temperature for that matter. that is a choice of what I want to do and be.
I can chose to not believe in God (shudder) and never want to do anything with God again, ascribing so many evil intentions as to make my last Girlfriend look like a saint in comparison. I am chosing by doing so to not have a God.
Shure its going to be hell for a while realizing I did something stupid. But that is what I decided right? And God wouldn't make a choice for you. its like deciding your Ford Pinto is good enough for you, why make the effort to get any better and pass up a chance to command the Enterprise.
God is merciful, kind and just, and often misjudged by the very people he is trying to help out. God did create us to be happy, but we have to know sadness to know happiness. In the end he only wants us to have what we want (and i mean in a much bigger sence than this short existance.)
There is my Religion for the day. I like your observations, they are pretty keen and astute. I hope I was able to be of help. ^~~^~^^~~^~^~^~^^~^^~^~^~~^^^~^^~~^~~~^~~^~
What does the UofU have to do with anything? I expected the "my college is the center of the universe" attitude from a BYU alumnus.
I have attended neither. But although I never attended Utah State, I think (at least that is what the girl told me) I can now call myself an Aggie. (Wohoo!) ^~~^~^^~~^~^~^~^^~^^~^~^~~^^^~^^~~^~~~^~ ~^~
I think we've all figured out it is poor software/administrators thats to blame, not a religion.
Second, I don't know any legislation even in Utah that was initiated or proposed by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, do you? You find any quotes from any General Authority that says "Hey, we need a law that will stop people from."
Even so, thats the fun of laws isn't it? You always have the agency to keep or break the Laws. No legislation is going to keep you from learning from your own mistakes. Nothing is really stoping you from driving down the wrong side of the freeway now is there? You have the agency to do that.
Mark Twain once said (roughly) "a man who picks up a cat by the tail will learn a lesson that he will never forget." Making a law about it simply helps out cats and saves people from getting there arms scratched up. ^~~^~^^~~^~^~^~^^~^^~^~^~~^^^~^^~~^~~~^~~^~
Whether or not it is a myth is something everyone must find out for themselves. That is the point to free speach, you hear something and then find out for yourself. But if someone thinking they know it all restricts it from being said then...
1) the origional statement is never validated beyond the person who says it,
2) useful truth isn't get communicated for others to gain from.
The Bible has many martyrs who died under such censorship. William Tinsdale was jailed and executed for the crime of publishing an English translation of the latin Bible without the ecclesiastical consent.
But it is out there, and people have found useful truth in it so it continues to flourish. One can't dispute that. ^~~^~^^~~^~^~^~^^~^^~^~^~~^^^~^^~~^~~~^~~^~
Yeah thats Ammon, like Alma:26 I think (I don't have it in front of me.) And sure enough its Ammon against about 30 warriors. And he only kills one. I remember in primary (Elementary Scoool Age Sunday School) reinacting the scene where they bring all the collected arms to the Lamanite king showing him that this stranger (Ammon) isn't your average person.
No urinating on walls or urinating at all that I can find. J Golden Kimball was famous for telling people in stake conference they were dumb as asses, going to hell, worth less than maneur (and yes that is the word he used) etc... But you have to get the one-man play about him to really appreciate it. ^~~^~^^~~^~^~^~^^~^^~^~^~~^^^~^^~~^~~~^~~^~
I've been trying to get GospelLink to work with Wine so I can download scriptures and other works to my Palm Pilot. So far it looks promising, at least the demo works well. But I'm not through fixing the incomplete installation InstalShield does under Wine to actually use GospelLink. And even then there is no guarantee that the serial port will work to establish the link.
GospeLink is good becuase I have the Palm Pro and can only download pieces at a time, and it would be useful to download recent conference talks too.
Alas, needless to say, that is one app that I am anxiously awaiting a port to Linux. But I'll probably have a long time to wait on that. ^~~^~^^~~^~^~^~^^~^^~^~^~~^^^~^^~~^~~~^~~^~
We studied Mathew 13 in Sunday school this week. The whole church is studying the New Testament this year in Sunday School. We studied the Old Testament last year. It is a four year cycle that has been used since the beginning of the Sunday School and organized meetings in the Church. And even before that Joseph Smith preached out of the Bible constantly.
Over half of the Quad is the Bible.
In short yes. ^~~^~^^~~^~^~^~^^~^^~^~^~~^^^~^^~~^~~~^~~^~
I've heard of a few people marrying 16 year olds way back in the 1800's, but then that was the times. In fact even in the early 1900's in places like Louisianna and East Texas it wasn't uncommon. When I lived there I remembered that it most women I met over 50 that grew up there was married at least once before 18. One in particular was married at 14.
I'll guarantee that the site never promoted polygamy or pedophelia.
And yeah there are still cases of abuse in the upper ranks. Its rumored even that one of the origional apostles sold out Christ himself. ^~~^~^^~~^~^~^~^^~^^~^~^~~^^^~^^~~^~~~^~ ~^~
It is true that most of these problems are natural to any packaging system. I'm not against packaging systems. However one that is more manualy editable and fixable would be nice is all I'm saying. Otherwise by its very nature it traps you into using RPMS, and for guaranteed stability the RPMS issued from RedHat (free of charge of course.)
Stampede seems to understand these concerns really well. They're SLIP is the packaging system that doesn't have to be. ENCAPS is also really good but doesn't check dependancies. ^~~^~^^~~^~^~^~^^~^^~^~^~~^^^~^^~~^ ~~~^~~^~
Thank you for your reply. It was informative and professional. However there are a few things I'll point out also.
When I mention a RPM screwing up your system, I mean an RPM messing up the packaging system. Like a partially installed RPM that fond a little bug that makes it abort, but enough was installed to add it to the RPM registry (nope I didn't call it a database.) I haven't found a good way yet to clean up a RPM registry after something like this happens and it happens frequently since I get impatient (I know my personal problem) for Redhat releases to update software.
As far as maintaining multiple systems, I think in other discussions its a settled issue that the Debian packaging system and tools are even better than RPM. And they are open source, and they are GPL (and the long list of what everyone calls it these days.)
And how do I, after installing with "make install" say the new GTK libraries, then without forcing it installation install Gimp? ^~~^~^^~~^~^~^~^^~^^~^~^~~^^^~^^~~^~~~^~~^~
After exhausting myself over these posts I've concluded this isn't so much a debate about RedHat or Microsoft as it is a debate over Frodo's Ring. You remember in Tolkien's Lord of the Ring masterpieces, it was the ring of absolute power. It also corrupted everyone (but one) who used it.
Its true I'm borrowing the analogy from an earlier (like last year) article mentioned by Slashdot, but it is amazing to me how much it applies. if someone could reproduce the URL I'd appreciate it greatly.
The Ring here is the power over little things, like where files should be placed, and which libc to use. These are little things but they're neccesity for higher level apps (the ones we actually use to be productive.)
The example of what control this can bring is Microsoft themselves. Not only by there dominance of the actualy operating system but by there dominance of the User Interface and the libraries that generate them and the API hooks into those libraries.
That is what we're afraid of isn't it? It doesn't matter who controls the ring, its the ring itself that we fear. We fear its power over us, and I cringe anytime someone gets close to that ring, no matter the morals of that person. ^~~^~^^~~^~^~^~^^~^^~^~^~~^^^~^^~~^~~~^~~ ^~
that it doesn't want people thinking Linux=Redhat.
Redhat is the Linux Microsoft, which goes to show just how good it is. Even our Microsoft (RedHat) contribitues to the community, even our Microsoft (RedHat) sets its programs free as open-source.
But Linux is a operating system born of community effort. And if someone wants to port, there should be an easy way they can port to the community (including RedHat) rather than just porting it to the Microsoft of Linux (Redhat). ^~~^~^^~~^~^~^~^^~^^~^~^~~^^^~^^~~^~~~^ ~~^~
Its great they gave it away, but it does keep me from using many distributions.
As was found in an earlier debate, RPMS are great as long as you can trust them not to screw up your system. Some incomplete RPMS when removed can (yes do) make life a living hell for any future version of that program.
Avoiding this requires waiting for the distributions RPMS, or others you trust or even making your own.
But then making your own RPM is more hassle than "make install". But if you ever install something that isn't an RPM then you can never install (AFAIK) without forcing it, a program that is dependant on it. ^~~^~^^~~^~^~^~^^~^^~^~^~~^^^~^^~~^~~~^~~^~
I don't coun't it as FUD, where is the uncertanty and doubt? Infact a consliracy theory like this that says Redmond is shoveling this rhetoric IS FUD ON YOUR PART. Indeed, it is showing an early lead for RedHat to prescribe its (lame) administration nuances on anyone who wants to run propriatary software. It shows certainty of RedHat's system as the port for your MS software moving to linux.
If proprietary software runs on RedHat then it becomes the Linux Standard Base, rather than the community well though out effort that the LSB is. ^~~^~^^~~^~^~^~^^~^^~^~^~~^^^~^^~~^~~~^~~^~
GPL != freedom. (GPL is free if your time has no value (slightly misquoted JWZ))

BSD liscence is free.
However, the GPL is fair.
APSL is public source, meaning source tolerated in public use.
Use the liscence you want to use, use the software you want to use, or code your own.
I'm tired of liscence wars. Not everything can be or will be GPL. But everything I need at home can be.

Go play outdoors for a while, maybe go hiking or fishing. Honestly sometimes I think the opinions of the fanatic slashdot posters were spun from the migranes caused by intence spin of there out of balance monomeniacle lives.
Redhat did something cool. They enabled choice, choice (not liscences) offers the ammunition for freedom. There choice enables us to make choice.

What do you do when you find out the Open Source product you have just produced and is used by a company has been permeated with patent violating code. That company sues you as maintainer of the code, the watchdog to make sure it is truely open source.

Um unfortunately this was one of the problems that was forseen in having a central body decide what was open source and what wasn't. Unfortunately since there is an OSI and there is a ESR who do get to put that label on things, you do not. They (who get to decide) have called it open source. Apple only calls it Public Source.
You have the right to use it or don't use it. You even have the power to add to it or take away from it. Lets not get childish. ^~~^~^^~~^~^~^~^^~^^~^~^~~^^^~^^~~^~~~^ ~~^~

In these two de-facto rules of the community lies the essence of the movement and the expression of its freedom.
1) The Coder (Apple) has the right to liscence how it wishes. 2) If we don't like it we don't have to use it, we just have to code something else.
