So if I write a library that is supposed to add two numbers, but as a side effect, added 1 to the result, and someone, rather than following documentation and realizing there is a bug in the lib, relied on the bug and just subtracted 1 in their application, you would blame ME when I fix the bug in the lib and have it correctly add two numbers?
...but if this is broken on Windows too, then the behavior is not a bug at all, but an undocumented feature, and Linux users should be grateful for the new, innovative technology.
I'm running Windows Vista on my work computer, and I hear Vista still has some code errors involving dates that goes back to Windows 3.1 because they wanted it to be "compatible." Maintaining bugs for the sake of compatibility. Leave it to MS. So, it's not hardware, but I'm running 17 yr old software (Win 3.1 was from 1992).:)
You're contradicting yourself. You seem to be supporting the "games are not an addiction, they're a habit" in the GGP, but now you say "other form of entertainment that isn't as addictive" in the parent post, implying that it is an addiction... So, which is it?
I don't see it as "God the jokester," I see it as a God who doesn't want to be scientifically proven. He WANTS it to take faith to believe in Him. Otherwise, what's the big deal? You'd have to be a fool to not believe in something provable by science, for example, the sun, but it takes a lot more, and is a lot more meaningful, if someone chooses to believe in something even though it cannot be proven to be true or false. The way I like to think about it is if God gave us the capacity to prove that He exists, he is basically more like a puppeteer. What fun is there in making a puppet believe in and love you when you're in control of it? There is none. It's the free will to believe that makes it meaningful.
I'll admit, I am not an expert on this, but I'll do my best. The differing genealogies in Matthew and Luke (genealogies of Joseph by the way, not Mary) is something that has been debated for a long time and there are many different opinions about it. See the fourth paragraph of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancestors_of_Christ for just some of the explanations. Like I said, I'm not an expert, so I can't give you my own say on this matter.
As far as the "before/after animals" thing, if you're referring to Genesis 1:25-27 as the "after animals" reference and 2:18-19 as the "before animals" reference, I advise you look more carefully at the Genesis 2 account and notice that it is NOT a chronological account of creation. If I were to say that "I went to school and work today" it does not necessarily mean that I went to school and, after that, I went to work. Likewise, Genesis 2 says that he created man AND created all the beasts AND he brought them to Adam. No order is implied here (with the exception that Adam must have been created before the beasts were brought to him). This does not contradict the "God created the beasts THEN created man" sequence depicted in Genesis 1.
I'm not familiar with the 'J' and 'E' threads, but what I have always learned was that, as in Genesis 7:2, Noah took "seven of every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate, and two of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate." I'm not sure where it is referenced as 2 of each animal (although I will admit that's what is typically believed by many Christians, that is mainly because it is what is taught to children, but that's probably more for simplicity and maybe a bit of ignorance than anything). If you have a reference for this, I would be interested in seeing it.
Also, if you would explain what you mean by "J vs E" threads, I would appreciate it. I did a bit of searching on Google and came up with nothing.
I'll just pick out one: "contradicted itself frequently". Please site just one source on this, and, please, save me some time and use it in the correct, full contect.
Judging the "age" of the Earth really depends on what you define it as. I'm a Christian (I should say believer in Christ, because I really hate the word Christian), and I believe that the Earth could be as old as whatever it is the scientific facts point to, whether it be millions of years or whatever. However, I believe that the Earth has only been around for about 6,000 years. The distinction? I believe that Adam and Eve were created "with age," and not created as newborn babies, so why couldn't the Earth and everything else have been done the same way? Do I have proof of this? No, it's faith, I'll admit that. But you really can't prove I'm wrong either, and if you think you can, you're failing to understand the concept.
If you want to mess with people who drool over her, tell them to put her picture and one of Jon Voight side by side, then look at their mouths.
From then on whenever they look at her, they'll see him and find it nearly impossible to find her attractive.
That or from then on whenever they look at Jon Voight, they'll see her and find in nearly impossible to keep from having to get a change of underwear. Win-win if I must say so myself.

Hey, I rather like the "disappearing in flames" effect. And if your windows are going to catch on fire, it's nice to have some rain to help put it out!:P In all honesty, the fire windows thing is something I turned on just to show off to a friend once, and it actually made him switch to Ubuntu! I don't keep it enabled though, it and the cube, and some other Compiz things are more just "look what MY computer can do!" things I use to get people to switch.:) Because of that though, my friend has experienced all the other cool perks of using Ubuntu or any distro of Linux for that matter: free software, no annoying Vista security popups, etc. He says now that he'll never go back. Ubuntu +1!
Back on the topic of the new version, I have yet to download 9.04, but I will as soon as I get home. I've been keeping up on it for over a month with alpha/beta releases, and I'm really excited to finally get the final version.
Being homeschooled, I can attest to this. I don't know how many words I have grossly mispronounced due to only reading it and not hearing it spoken by a teacher.
FTA: "Because from a compatibility standpoint, if it works on Vista, it will work on Windows 7. If it doesn't work on Vista, it won't work on Windows 7."
So... nothing's changed? What's the incentive to upgrading to WIndows 7? If it (nothing) will still work and it (everything) will still not work, is there really a point to just dumping more money at M$?
Our system was a bit more advanced than a reflective sticker... You could operate it without moving your head at all. You just look where you want the security camera to zoom/pan and it just does. It wouldn't be as intuitive to use the sticker because you would have to move your head to control it rather than your eyes.

No, you're just an old VW bug that got deserted on the side of the road and sent to the impound to be compacted into a little 12"x12"x12" cube.

How exactly do you divide by the natural log?
Google to any power is still just Google. That's because Google is number 1. Google^2 = 1, Google^Google = 1, Google^Infinity = 1.

Steradians... *goes to Wikipedia*... Ah, that's pretty interesting. Yes, I suppose ~12.5 (4pi) steradians would do it.

"infection's" being short for "infection is"? How is that wrong?
