"So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living and moving thing with which the water teems, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind."
This becomes weird when we see that in fact there is very little "clear" speciation.
Personally, I have difficulty reconciling that with evolution, hence, difficulty believing in the bible.
I hate that, to try and "restrict" me from saving a picture off the web is trying to have one's cake and eat it. I've already downloaded the damn thing, it's in the computer's memory, and you try some annoying JavaScript to prevent me from right-clicking?
If companies do not want me having a copy of THAT exact image or something, don't put it on the Internet. Maybe put up a lower resolution or watermark it, whatever. Just don't try and tell me how and when to view the content you freely provide.
And yes, there is the problem of content stealing. But that is, in most cases, not a problem if the image is watermarked or something like that.
GPUs (or CPUs) haven't got the clock speed set from the beginning of the manufacturing process, it's actually based on a number of quality checks done by the manufacturer.
Therefore I find the term "factory overclock" just a bit misleading, since the clock speed is set at the factory anyway.
As I read through these replies i noticed a lot of people saying that "Ads are the only way a site can make money" and so on and so forth.
Yeah, about that, that is going to have to change. Why? Because a generation is growing up now that do not click ads on the internet. They have the opinion that ads are bad. They download shows off the internet so they don't have to sit through ads, use AdBlock and if they want to buy something, they do a Google (or equivalent) search for it and compare a couple of sites before buying.
I'm not saying this is good or bad but things are changing.
If people actually bothered to read the error messages. I've had teachers (note: plural) that couldn't decipher Python error messages simply because if its in red and says something about an error they click it away and go try to troubleshoot manually. Kids are even worse this way.
Of course I am in Iceland so I can't state this for native English speakers but I don't think it has anything to do with that.
But yes, I agree with you on HTML and CSS because if you're going to try and not kill all curiosity you best give them results as soon as possible.

3.) Piracy (while i don't care if people rip shows and place them on the net.) led to poorly named file names of the shows, leaving one to wonder if what your downloading is the same thing you'll be watching in the next 30 minutes. Is it the HighDef version the Standard Def version or some crappy copy? Who nows.
The pirate community has actually developed quite a nice nice naming standard. With labels like HDTV, E##S## and such (# being the number of a series or episode). If you're using any of the larger sites (The Pirate Bay etc.) there is almost always (at least for the more popular shows) a properly named version.
... that any hacker in the world can download the source code for, and thus, write customized attacks for.
Ah, but that it also Linux's strength because the open source, such "custom made attacks" are a lot quicker to be found and fixed. In fact, I recall several occasions where there was a big fuss because of the possibility of attack. With your precious patched proprietary system, if there is an attack, then you have to wait for Microsoft to find the security hole and come up with a patch, or, as is often the case, the author of whatever software you are using at the time. After this period of time, thousand of machines worldwide have already been attacked.
Ah, but command line functions over the phone are a hell of a lot easier than trying to describe in painful detail what people should be seeing on their screen only to discover that they've been stuck in the Control Panel the whole time just going mhmm. Instead you can say open the terminal etc. and type this or that.
I guess my point is phone support is never fun but the terminal is extremely standardized and if you ask someone to type in a command and then read the output you can be relatively sure that you're doing the right thing.

How so?
As I remember it the bible seems to state:
"So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living and moving thing with which the water teems, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind."

WHY!?

I think this would only actually be a problem if anyone used LIVE search.
Perhaps the point was that editing will be done in the US HQ?
Just exactly what do you call overclocking?
GPUs (or CPUs) haven't got the clock speed set from the beginning of the manufacturing process, it's actually based on a number of quality checks done by the manufacturer.
Therefore I find the term "factory overclock" just a bit misleading, since the clock speed is set at the factory anyway.
The pure potential is awesome. If, however they are uptight about letting people develop non-open-source games for this it will fail, hard.
I think the point of online multiplayer in shooters is to have an even starting point so people can really show off their skills.
Standardized rules and relatively few weapons are what makes it so much fun.

held?
Are you serious? There ain't exactly a plethora of OSs to choose from now either.
