Now if only the public would realize that all those webmail services generally do not delete your emails even after you delete them from trash...
After 180 days in the U.S., email messages lose their status as a protected communication under the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, and become just another database record. This means that a subpoena instead of a warrant is all that's needed to force Google to produce a copy.
Given that google is sleeping with the CIA (Keyhole anyone?), I think centralization of this sort is just plain evil. Data should remain decentrailized and private especially things like email.
In Turkey the holiday of Sunnet celebrates a youths circumcision by parading him around town dressed as a prince and giving him lots of gifts and money. Its a rights of passage kind of thing. Im not sure if its still practiced in modern day Turkey, but you can check it out here http://www.enjoyturkey.com/info/culture/Life_Style.htm#s . Considering Roman influence in that region of the world was heavy....Circumcision of Chritst dosnt sound that crazy...
I mentioned that I had specific hardware that was very particular to my machine in another post (don't know if you saw that), which is why I did anticipate errors. Vista does have more network stability in terms of Network Discovery and you cannot overlook Ipv6 support either.
Vista is very premature still compared to orginal Microsoft ambitions. If you read those leaked MS emails about Vista on wikileaks.org you will see how desperate the execs really were.
Let's just say intel really hurt Vistas image by pushing a chipset that Microsoft didn't agree with and changed at the last minute. Ever since they first shipped machines with the low standard chipsets Vistas image just got hammered out of proportion.
Believe it or not, there are a ton of Christian terrorist groups.
Let's see:
KKK - (Burned, bombed, decapitated) They claimed it was their god given right. Slave owners did the same
Army of God - (Use deadly force to blow up abortion clinics)
Nagaland for Christ - Terrorist attacks against Indian Army (the largest demacracy in the world)
Tsar Lazar Guard - First uniformed Christian "militia" group. Classified by NATO as a terrorist organization
God's Army -a Christian revolutionary group in armed rebellion against the military government of Burma.
National Liberation Front of Tripura - Ethnic cleansing and bombings
North Ireland Terrorism - Long before arabs started it, the protestants were bombing the catholics
Lord's Resistance Army Lord's Resistance Army - Torture, Rape, use of child soldiers
the list goes on....I remember the October group or something in Greece had a large christian motive against the orthodox church, also that armenian group that bombed several masks in turkey and killed 3 university students (anti islam christians).
Chstrian god is the same as islam, and so is there history and modern acts of terrorism. theres a ton in south america, you just don't hear about them becuase u live in a pro-christian country where a recent survey indicated that Gays were hated less than atheists...http://atheism.about.com/b/2006/03/24/atheists-hated-more-than-gays-muslims-all-other-groups.htm
also in terms of how many christians have killed, you guys are just as bad, if not worse than islam. crazy witch hunts, crusades, and intolerance for religion. its funny you call islam the religion of hate when it was islam that tolerated multiple relgions within the empires they conquered. the christians wouldnt tolerate it. lets not forget its the same god they worship....
the best religion is keeping your personal beliefs to yourself and respecting others for theirs. but all these world relgions are so wrapped up with promotional dogma and intolerance that it creates war, murder, and they even justify it with god (just like they did with Jim Crow Laws).
Vista SP1 helped me. When I installed it and recieved more driver errors than before, I decided it was time to venture beyond the mac/windows/linux world and into the world of BSD's. I'm so torn between FreeBsd and OpenBsd....now I have both on my server:)
Your argument presents the Fallacy of Accident. Your saying that scientists are just as "guilty" as those who possess strong religious faith simply becuase they both use faith. This is like saying "Strong religious faith is wrong. Scientists use strong religious faith. Therefore, scientists are "equally" wrong."
However, whether or not scientists strongly leverage faith is NOT the issue. The issue is the method in which that faith is applied and CHECKED against. Furthermore, how it is placed. Like I mentioned earlier, scientific "faith" is put under constant peer-review. You could say science IS evolutionary. What starts as abstract is evolved into something we hold true in the natural world overtime; even if the original idea was completly off base; thus, contrasting perspective and "faith" serves as a tool to accelarte investigation and uncover truth. No such checks-and-balance system exists in relgion. Science is like democracy, relies on checks-and-balances, while Religion is like a tyranny, God serves as the unquestionable truth and his "word" is authoratative despite if it's true or not.
Your argument about evolution is weak. It's known as the Converse Fallacy of Accident. You take a specific example then you extrapolate that example into a generalization. I applied it above in my government example to "level" with you.
Evolution is unique in the scientific community. Simply put, there is no challenging theory that can hold it's ground against the data we do have about evolution. Instead of sitting around and accepting it, like religious faith does, scientists are still investingating, researching, and uncovering new evidence to plug those holes. The whole process of science is evolution. Since science depends on checks-and-balances, it's only as effective as that system, but its still a heck of a lot better than saying accepting the questionable "divine" word of god as an absolute truth.
Religious faith, on the contrary, does not have a process in which it is systematically challenged and verified. Religious faith is constant and unchanged. It yields only to god and cannot be "checked-and-balanced".
It attempts to put the burden of proof on disproving god, when in reality, nothing can be disproved. Therefor, it is less ignorant to place faith in a method that can be disproved (science) rather than a method that cannot (most modern religions). The burden of proof is on religion, to prove all of its "divinity", "gods", "prophets", and "magic".
Back to my argument, faith is not the factor. The factor is what system\method you place your faith in. Science is a superior system to entrust faith becuase it takes the responsibilty of the burden of proof with a checks-and-balance system. Religion is a poor system to entrust faith beause it does not take the responsibilty of proof. It has no checks-and-balances.
Back to your fallacy, it really comes down to why people CHOOSE to put their faith in democracy versus faith in a dictatorship or tyranny.
It's well-known that christian holidays took place during the same holidays as their pegan counter parts. Most of Christian Mythology was borrowed from previous relgions--concepts such as "Virgin Birth", "Son of God", and the majority of prophecies (which were also borrowed by the Jews from previous relgions). You end up with one of the most unoriginal and boring religions ever. Christianity succeeded; however, in advancing society by creating a more inclusive group. You could argue that christian created the middle class, a new concept in those days.
Too lazy to quote my sources...sorry. Google to confirm ("Christian Mythology" in wikipedia is a start).
I found the answer to that question yesterday when I setup 6 virtual servers inside my dedicated server. Guess what...what I called my dedicated server, was actually another virtual server.
I concluded that the universe is a giant fractal.
The thing about Science is that it's ok to be wrong. Scientists are encouraged to prove each other wrong. What starts as an assumption will slowly morph into a solid fact as more and more scientist one-up the other in a quest to disprove/improve.
With religion, that dosn't exist. Here is the absolute word of god, you cannot challenge it...you cannot disprove it and if you dont accept it, you can burn in hell.
There is a very big difference between "faith" in science and "faith" in religion.
The way I see it is encryption was never really effective in the first place. It was always easy to attack the source at which decryption occurs.
You could combine multiple encryption algorithms MANY MANY times and force the cracker to guess the pattern of decryption used? A complex pattern of encryption algorithms would form a hidden key and its obscruity would make it increasingly difficult to decrypt.
Again, this wouldn't protect against attacking the source of decryption.
I remember hearing a lecture from Mr. Hawking talking about how humanity will only survive by expanding into space. It eliminates tremendous threats like disease, war, planetary impact, sun blowing up, etc. Very similar to what your talking about. Mr. Hawking actually asked the question on yahoo answers here http://answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=20060704195516AAnrdOD , a fun read.

Yeah your right...I guess for every theory that becomes a law in science a religion becomes a myth.
Believe it or not, there are a ton of Christian terrorist groups.

here is the list you requested: http://dwindlinginunbelief.blogspot.com/2007/01/how-many-has-god-killed-complete-list.html Please list a thousand islam has killed for every 1 on that list. I look foward to it.
I have it on two machines. SP1 did toast my drviers but I'm using very unique hardware (neither of which work on linux or mac).
Vista SP1 helped me. When I installed it and recieved more driver errors than before, I decided it was time to venture beyond the mac/windows/linux world and into the world of BSD's. I'm so torn between FreeBsd and OpenBsd....now I have both on my server :)
