  1. Shit! on Corinthians.com Taken Away, Given To Soccer Team · · Score: 1

    Oh foo!

    I'll have to call my lawyer shortly. Anyone recommend a good one for this area of Religious Law?

    Or has this license been made irrelevant because this is no longer the original Greek? The translaters have already fallen foul? Maybe my lawyers could take this argument and the fact that I clearly labelled the quotation as a subsection of the complete book, and didn't masquerade it as the complete book.

    Help me? :-)

    Does anyone really want to live in a city for eternity? Or am I just in denial, now?! :-)

  2. Book of Revelation License on Corinthians.com Taken Away, Given To Soccer Team · · Score: 1

    I think you missed his point (or something). Here is the Book of Revelation License (BRL):

    Revelation 22

    18. I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book.

    19. And if anyone takes words away from this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.

    this seems to be Sengan's second post

    Actually, Sengan used to post articles much more frequently about 1-2 years ago.

    I always found his point of view interesting whether or not I agreed with it.

    Then there was that "disable-the-comments-Operation-Whateveritwas-in-I raq" story. *That* was funny.

  6. Re:50-50 on Women CS Majors Declining · · Score: 1

    If it was all about aggressiveness and physical strength leading to computer access, then the people studying Computer Science should be the larger, and more aggressive males. This is not the case.

    The question should also be asked: Why the lack of male primary school teachers? Maybe the little boys are being "bastards day in and day out" because they have no positive role models at primary school? What is the percentage of male "early childhood teaching" and "junior primary school teaching" degree graduates?

    I am only 20, but I went to a (Christian) primary school where I had a male teacher 4 out of the 7 years of primary school. I understand that this is pretty rare.

    Well, we (or NSW at least) had the Rum Rebellion.

    Rum used to be considered better than British currency in New South Wales. Due to all those convicts, I guess.

    Throught all of time you can see that the british will do anything to even get the smallest pieces of land.

    Yes, you are correct. That is why on January 1st, 1901, the British Empire went to war with the colonials and natives in the tiny, resource poor island known as Australia. They would NEVER give away any land freely, without retaining any control, to its inhabitants.

    All of our notes are still plastic ($5, $10, $20, $50, $100). I didn't hear about them melting on dashboards, but, if true, they probably just changed the particular plastic material.

  11. Fair pricing? on Charging for Cable Internet Access in Australia · · Score: 1

    I think the whole point is that this is not by ANY means fair pricing.

    Telstra does not differentiate between local traffic, Australian traffic or international traffic. They charge the same blanket price of a ridiculous 30+c per megabyte and give you a token of 250 MB/month.

    ISPs here are also charged per megabyte by their providers. It is something like 8c per megabyte for Australian traffic and 18c per megabyte for international traffic.

    Even assuming these are fair, how does Telstra get off charging 35c per megabyte for LOCAL traffic on their network between two cable users?

  14. Re:Uhm, we're already exploring Mars. on Petition for Human Exploration of Mars · · Score: 1

    You do know that the English first sent undesirable convicts to the Americas before Australia was a British colony? They only settled Australia *AFTER* the U.S. War of Independence. :)

    N.S.W. was colonized in 1788.

    But what is the point of sending starving bread stealers to Mars? :)

  15. Re:Celeron vs PII on New Intel uP for Ultra-Cheap PCs · · Score: 1

    The previous posters were talking about the later (Mendocino) Celerons. They mentioned 400 MHz...

    These are great value for money. I don't think a Celeron 400 runs like a PII 333 but the original poster did say it was just an example! For home users, there really isn't much to be gained in spending hundreds more on a `real' PII(I).

    Well, it isn't the same. "its cover" is similar to "his clothes" or "her clothes"? As opposed to "the book's cover". You don't say "hi's or he'r clothes".

    I have changed my mind (it is not just for positive deeds, but for overall effect on humankind). Adolf Hitler would have to be a strong candidate for that. And Stalin.

    Although I would prefer to see a scientist rather than a politician or military dictator receive this award.

    That 6 million is the number of Jews murdered. Don't forget the millions more Poles, Gypsies, Catholics, etc.

    And don't forget the millions of soldiers more who died on both sides of the war that he started.

    I do not think Hitler, Pol Pot, Mao, Stalin or any other monsters like them should be honoured by giving them the title "Man of the Century".

  24. Get over it! on Linux 2.3.2 Released · · Score: 4

    Slashdot has always announced the devel kernel releases. Please search Slashdot for "kernel 2.1 released", if you doubt this. Go on. There is a reason for the little "search" thing down there at the bottom of this page.

    If you don't like an article, don't click "Read More". I really cannot see how this is difficult to comprehend.

    Please stop whinging about a free service and let Rob and friends run their site as they please. Slashdot might not be the quickest place to report the releases, but it does give a good place to see discussion about problems others have had with the release. But obviously not this article, today.
