    You obviously haven't read your Bible lately;

    The real (Biblical) history of the dinosaurs

    The extinction of the dinosaurs is one of the greatest mysteries of secular science. It would not be if people believed the true eye-witness account of Earth's history recorded in the Bible. This reveals that:

    Land animals (this includes dinosaurs) and man were created on Day 6 about 6,000 years ago--so dinosaurs lived at the same time as people.

    Adam sinned and brought death, disease and bloodshed into the world. Before then, no dinsaur could have died.

    A global Flood occurred about 1,656 years later, wiping out all land animals that breathe though nostrils (that weren't on the Ark). Thus billions of animals were buried quickly and formed fossils. This is when most dinosaur fossils formed.

    Noah took two of every kind of land animal (seven of the clean' ones) on board an ocean-liner-sized Ark this included dinosaurs. For more information, see How did all the animals fit on Noah's Ark?

    After the Flood, the descendants of those dinosaurs existed for a while with humans, and there seem to be eye-witness accounts of them, e.g. in Job 40:15 ff. and in the many dragon legends found around the world.

    Eventually they all died out, except for possible rare sightings in uninhabited areas which have not been properly verified. The causes were probably no more dramatic than those that cause extinctions of other species, e.g. man's hunting, change of climate, loss of food source, fragmentation of habitat.

  8. Re:can it have a fancy name like wine? on A Quick Look At Mac-On-Linux · · Score: 4, Informative

    Actually, there allready is a project called MACE.

    The name "Mace" is an acronym for Macintosh Application Compatibility Environment. Thanks to Simon Biber for coming up with that acronym. The name "Mace" originally came from MACintosh Emulator, which wasn't entirely accurate, as Mace does not emulate a Macintosh, instead it emulates the Macintosh Operating System and Toolbox (the ROM) resulting in the ability to run Macintosh software.

  15. Not that hard on Linux Kernel 2.4.6 Released · · Score: 1

    I have switched, and it's really not that hard to do it. The only thing you absolutley need to upgrade, if you're using a fairly recent 2.2 system, is modutils. That is, if you're running any version less than 2.4.
    If you're on a modem, you'll have to update PPPd too, but both modutils and pppd are just a "./configure;make;make install" away.

    Ever notice Windows NT doesn't support LCD monitors ??

    Where did you hear that? Perhaps you're confusing LCD (SVGA) with Flat Panel (DVI) displays. Not that it would matter if you did, since Matrox is supporting DVI on NT4 with their G200MMS.
    I don't see any problem with using ordinary LCDs with NT. As far as the graphic card knows, it's just another monitor, and beyond that, the operating system doesn't care.
    I can assure you that NT doesn't have any problems with LCDs, as I've used it my self for several years.
