For the moderator who rated the parent "Offtopic", you should watch "Dr. Strangelove", wherein a deranged USAF General doodled about Purity of Essence, and ranted that Communists never take a drink of water, since water has been tainted by flouridation. Bill Gates has ranted that Linux is equivalent to Communism. I guess the reference was too subtle for someone.
Winston Churchill was one of the greatest people of the past century. We all owe him an enormous debt of gratitude. Here is a starting point for a glimpse into his life. He was also the master of the snappy comeback. My favorite: "Lady Astor: Winston, if you were my husband, I'd poison your coffee. Winston: If I were your husband, I'd drink it."
Relax, this just is not going to happen. The NM Legislative session is scheduled to end at noon MST today, and this bill is as dead as a drunk driving victim. No real legislation will get through the NM Legislature until the elected drunks (yes, some of our NM representives have DUI convictions) are thrown out of office. Will that happen anytime soon? Probably not. Driving drunk is embedded in part of the culture here, and until that changes, we here in NM will still have our drunk driving problem. Our Governor Bill Richardson missed yet another opportunity to fix a problem which has now become known world-wide. Shame on you Bill. You let us down again.
Of course, people could have set their browsers to lie about their real identify.
Mea Culpa for that. I've had trouble accessing some sites which insist that I be using a MS browser, so I just lie about it. From my Mozilla prefs.js file:
I downloaded RedHat last night and now I'll have to do is figure out the best way to resize my NTFS partition so there is room.
One way to resize your NTFS partition is to use Mandrake 9.1. I've done that twice now. I'm not sure that RedHat has an NTFS resizer, but Mandrake 9.1 most certainly does. If you really want to use RedHat, you can always reinstall RedHat after you've used Mandrake 9.1 to do the resizing job. But while you've got Mandrake installed, play around with it a while. You might just like it.
It looks like his Mac box is sick. Even though it's probably fixable, maybe he's just gotten used to the pain, like a familiar nail coming through the sole of a favorite pair of shoes. If he fixed it, he wouldn't have that to complain about.
Well, I avoided Unix for ten years, using TOPS-10, Data General RDOS and AOS, and DEC RT-11. When I finally went to college, we had this VAX-11/750 running 4.2BSD, IIRC. What I'm sure of is that filenames were limited to 14 characters. DG's AOS allowed 31 character filenames, so my very early opinion of Unix was that it was a joke. That was 19 years ago, and Unix got a lot better since then.
Likewise with DOS and Windows. Remember all the futzing around with CONFIG.SYS that was necessary to do anything serious? When Dave Cutler went to Microsoft more than a decade ago, I was actually hopeful. I should have known better.
Then along came that skinny (then) little Swedish-speaking Finnish guy, and the rest is history.
Taking caffeine is not a sin. It's found in the Word of Wisdom, which makes a reference to "hot drinks" i.e. tea and coffee.
Doctrine and Covenants, section 89, IIRC.
But don't fret, even the silliest of Mormon beliefs don't make Mormons strap on a bunch of explosives to shred the bodies of innocent people, with the expectation of future fun with a crowd of Celestial Virgins. Just think, after boffing those Celestial Virgins, will the Martyr get to sit down and watch some Celestial Playoffs, or get nagged by the Celestial Honeys to go outside and cut the Celestial Grass?
Yes, I know this is really getting offtopic, but at least I didn't get into a discussion with helix400 regarding "getting into heaven". All those "justification by faith through works" vs "justification by grace" arguments which have gone on for centuries.
Then there is the matter of which end of the egg should be broken...
First let me say that I know a lot of Mormons, and the great majority are very decent folk. So there. No argument about that.
As for how beliefs affect our views...I'll try to answer this as honestly as possible. The idea you mentioned of becoming a God mentioned isn't official church doctrine.
Well, no it's not, but that doesn't stop some from fervently believing it. The point relevant to Orin Hatch and the rest is: Does Orin and his pals believe it?
Excuse me, I usually don't try to take sides on theological matters, but the idea of one of us becoming a God is just plain nutty. Just as nutty as the "empty tennis shoe effect" expected by evangelicals who believe in The Rapture.
My own fervently held belief is that anyone who honestly believes that they will become a God some day is a dangerous meglomaniac. And some of those are in positions of power and influence.
Good answers. It looks like you have your head on straight ethically, and as far as theology goes, I'm certainly not one to judge.
The point I wanted to make was: Does the emphasis placed on paying tithes in the LDS church have any subconsious effect on the decisions and world view of those immersed in it. Could it be that our friends Orin, Brent, Darl, et al are just trying to save us from Eternal Damnation by getting us to cough up the cash.
Interestingly, in the new Amended Complaint, section 3, Linux is noted to be free:
Significantly, Linux is distributed without a licensing fee and without proprietary rights of ownership or confidentiality.
I think getting something for nothing just rubs these guys the wrong way so severely that they will stop at nothing to make someone pay. It may be that their religion is clouding their thinking.
In this
Amended Complaint, Orin Hatch's son Brent O. Hatch is listed right at the very top and near the bottom. A lot of interesting stuff in between.
On the subject of loose cannon Senators, the Senator from Disney, Ernest Hollings, got quite a severe mocking today from Rush Limbaugh. Rush was making fun of Hollings saying that the problem with America was "too much consumption".
Can any good Mormons out there explain how the belief that you will (if you pay your tithes, etc) someday become a GOD affect your world view.
This is on topic since Orin, Brent, Darl, and most of the SCO board are all apparently Mormons, as is the named Judge, Dale A. Kimball.
I just copied from the output of cat/var/log/httpd/access_log, pasted with middle mouse button, previewed as Plain Old Text, redacted a bunch of non-CodeRed (or Nimda) lines, leaving just enough to get the point across, then changed the post format to Code. That seemed to bypass the lameness filter quite effectively. It seems if you edit your post between previews, that gives it some non-lameness.
Thanks for the previous information. Meta-moderation might fix the clueless moderators. In fact, they may have SCOed themselves right out of moderation rights. The post was completely on-topic for a story on worms, etc.
BTW, I only start up apache on this machine just to see who comes knocking. Judging from some of the reactions, some folks don't know (or care) about the footprints of still-virulent worms. If someone were to be so careless as to leave an unpatched IIS on the net long enough, it too would become another super-spreader.
Microsoft has two visions for the future of digital media: unlimited choice for consumers, and unlimited control for producers. One thing's for sure, it's unlimited opportunity for Redmond.

POE, OPE, ... Linux users never drink water.
No need to explain. Crap metaphor says it all.

Prediction for next year's pet phrase: "Old people in Korea".

Also no "is", (present tense of 'to be'), so no "'s", and computer is he, not it.
In Soviet Russia, he keyboardized computer.
Mea Culpa for that. I've had trouble accessing some sites which insist that I be using a MS browser, so I just lie about it. From my Mozilla prefs.js file:
