    Injections go against the sanctity of the human body. I would sooner die of a disease than defile the temple He created in His image with a single injection.

    "The problem" started when people began to question His writings and opted to not circumcise their sons.

    Science is a great thing, but God trickles out knowledge to us bit by bit to help us grow as his children. Unfortunately some people think Science is the be-all-end-all and ignore Him. That is why we have earthquakes, AIDS, and terrorists.

    God created the solar system 6,000 years ago and created a little world called Earth so his children could live in peace and harmony. He even had a son called Jesus who lived among us and performed miracles.

    Science is for the weak of mind.

    I use VeraCrypt. Was wondering about the claim of TrueCrypt being insecure.

    But Truecrypt is no longer secure.

    Are you sure? Last I read was they shut down the project with a vague statement like that but nothing to back it up. The recent audits showed it was still a good product from what I remember.

    Finally something that can handle my torrent load.


  11. I remember playing the controversial game Manhunt back in the day.

    I popped a plastic bag over a bad guy's head then as he was gasping for air, I kept punching him in the face until he was dead. Then I used a shard of glass to stab out another person's eyes. Disemboweling scumbags with a sickle was always fun. Then, of course, the chainsaw on PigMan was the crowning glory.

    So, yeah, video games are art.

    You're putting words in my mouth. You wrote "I would have a hard time respecting a cop without a gun... that movie 'Mall Cop' comes to mind." and I was simply wondering if you held more respect for the uniform & law or the tools they carry around.

    I have my answer, thanks.

    I think you failed to come up with anything to back up your assertions and are back-peddling. Fair enough.

  23. Re:It could work. on Matthew Garrett Forks the Linux Kernel · · Score: 0

    It's not a theory, it's the truth.

    In fact the mkLinux you mention was originally a port done by two guys named Mark and Karl, hence "mk".

    Steve Jobs saw Slackware on a CD and, being that he wanted to see the floppy disk die, he chose that distro to port as Mac OSX. Most other distros at that point were still on floppy disk. Woz and Seymour Cray were drinking buddies so when they needed some high performance multi-threading support from Cray's UNICOS system, Woz tapped his pal and got access to the necessary code for a handshake rather than the usual multi-million dollar licensing fees.

    The whole "NeXTSTEP" thing was to fool investors into thinking they had a solid product, not something they hacked out over a few weeks. In fact if you do any development on Mac OSX or iOS, you will see "ns_____" things called all the time. The "ns" does not mean "NextStep" as many people think. It means "Nice Seymour" as a tip of the hat to the man that made all that code available for free.

    I remember all this like it was yesterday.

  24. Re:It could work. on Matthew Garrett Forks the Linux Kernel · · Score: 0

    Nope. OSX is a fork/mix of early Slackware Linux with some earlier Cray UNICOS multi-threading library support.

    NeXTSTEP is based on AT&T SysV UNIX with graphical libraries borrowed from Ashton-Tate's (ahead of its time) Framework suite. If memory serves I think they also uses some of CP/M's successor MP/M 86 for some sweet multiuser stuff.

    I remember it all like it was yesterday!

  25. Re:It could work. on Matthew Garrett Forks the Linux Kernel · · Score: 2

    Good thing you mentioned Apple's OSX, I forgot about that one in my well-researched history.

    OSX is a fork of Linux, Slackware specifically, which itself is some original old Linux code with some Cray UNICOS bolted on for what was then some decent HPC.
