Or maybe it's the extent of their wrongdoing? Are you suggesting some people are automatically disbarred from being christian by the extent of their immorality? Nope. Don't forgot that the GP also said that "...in their ignorance, they did not know that Jesus gave forgiveness freely for sins confessed (you don't even need a priest)."
By that statement, that means that their sins were freely forgiven (a priest isn't even needed!) and they would still be allowed in to heaven. Hmm... but that contradicts his earlier statement that they weren't true Christians at all. So what were they? Ignorant people doing the bidding of a church which "isn't a true Christian church"? That's not very fair to them, then, that they should be damned to an eternity in Hell, just becuase they were ignorant and misguided. They certainly meant well and truley believed that they were following the teachigns of god. What the hell kind of god is this guy anyway that he can essentially damn individuals just becuase they get a little confused? By this reasoning, whether or not one gets in to heaven seems highly dependent upon god's mood on that particular day. Or put another way, it's a craps shoot whether or not you'll actually get in to heaven for being a "Christian".
I've been quite interested in a march for the right to bear arms with on Washington D.C. with all the marchers wielding swords. And just how are you supposed to get these swords to DC (without driving)? I'm sure TSA would have something to say about that. Seriously. I'm genuinely curious.
I lived in the Atlanta area for a little over a year. Not long after I moved there, I began talking guns with somebody at work, as I was looking for a range where I could fire my own handgun. Anyway, he directed me to an interesting fact: In the city of Kennesaw, GA it is mandatory for all households (with obvious exceptions) to maintain a loaded firearm. Link: http://www.rense.com/general9/gunlaw.htm. I'm not sure how this law would apply to displaying a firearm in public in Kennesaw, but I get the feeling that it's probably no big deal there.
Anecdote number two: I graduated from high school in 1999 (think Columbine). I can remember several instances during deer season where kids would come to school straight from hunting before school with their four wheelers in the bed of their truck and their.30-06 in the gun rack. Administration generally looked the other way until Columbine. (Interestingly enough, there didn't seem to be much crackdown after the 1998 middle school shooting in Jonnesboro, AR which is only about 2.5 hours north of us, but there was a severe crack down the next school year after the Columbine shootings, which occured one year and one month later.)
Point number three: In my life, I can recall exactly one time that I was actually comforted by the fact that I own a firearm. I lived in the New Orleans area (Metairie) at the time Katrina hit. I re-entered the area not long after the storm to obtain more clothing, medecine, and other items I would need for my long term stay away from home. I saw a lot of police presence and Guard presence on the major roadways, but once I got back in to the neighborhoods, I saw very little in the way of police/military protection. When I made it in to my apartment, the first thing I did was check my weapon and make it ready. Knowing what everybody knows about the state of the city immediately after the hurricane, every trip I made out to my vehicle I made with my handgun in plain sight, on my hip in its holster. On one of the trips, I shut my trunk and turned around to see a young man dressed in long jean shorts and a tank top round a corner with some sort of thick club-like stick resting upon his right shoulder. I didn't recognize the guy as living in the complex and something about his mannerisms seemed to imply that he didn't rightly belong within the confines of our gated complex. In any respect, he was about 15 yards away. I looked at him. He looked at me. I saw him look at the gun on my hip and I saw him turn and walk away, though a gap in the fence that had been created by storm damage, further reinforcing my assumption that he didn't live in our complex.
Now, I've never really decided one way or the other on the issue of a firearm for home defense. I tend to think that in a sudden wakeful state where one's mind may not be running at full decision-making capacity, a firearm is not a good thing to be weilding. Mine usually stays on my closet shelf, magazine loaded but without a round chambered. That said, I was very glad on that day that I had my gun on my hip. Who knows what may have happened otherwise? Probably nothing. The guy was probably just as nervous as I was in that situation and he probably only stopped to look at me becuase he was surprised to see somebody else there as well. Either way, I'm glad that I never found out what might have happened. I just know that at that moment in time, I had never felt more comforted by the presense of a firearm.
Anyway, suffice it to say that I believe in the 2nd ammendment strongly and feel that without it, one cannot truly be free from a tyrannical government.

This is actually the interesting thing about American healthcare. I just left a job with a healthcare provider. From what I can tell from my ~3.5 years working in the industry (albeit in an IT role), the whole medical costs issue has lent itself to a snowball effect. Large Insurer #1 negotiates a 30% discount. Large Provider #1 isn't making as much money as it used to, so they increase costs by 5%. A year or two later, Large Insurer #1's contract is up, and because they are so big and have provided so many referrals to Large Provider #1, they are able to renegotiate for a 35% discount and other benefits such as set rates for things such as certain procedures or certain medicines. Large Provider #1 needs to increase revenue again so they decide to increase costs by 5% again, hoping that they can make up the money from Smaller Insurer #'s 1, 2, & 3. Ad infinitum.
Two other points: 1) The larger the claim, the more likely the insurer is to deny payment to the provider on some grounds. The insurer will look for something -- anything! -- to deny payment or further tie up the claim. Once a claim enters the appeals process, it's not uncommon for the insurer to be able to negotiate an even larger than normal discount on that particular claim. A 90% or more discount on a 7-figure claim isn't unheard of.
2) Hospitals hate Medicare patients. They actually tend to lose money on Medicare patients. If you're on Medicare, don't be surprised if you get the shaft. Yes, by law the provider has to give you treatment, but you can be guaranteed to get nothing but the bare minimum.
Lastly, once again I want to assert my disclaimer that I worked in an IT role, so my understanding isn't as thorough as those people whose job it is to negotiate those contracts and negotiate those payments on those claims.
This is probably the most insightful and informative post that I have read so far. Yes, the COBRA will be expensive, but your unborn child will be worth it.
The ability to push down many, many more settings via Active Directory in a Vista AD setting. For example, you can now set the power profile options via AD where as before you had to set them on each individual machines. (This was an issue at one office where I worked where the default power profile for the machines from the factory was for them to go into sleep mode after 10 minutes of inactivity, which also timed out their connections to the AS400's, causing us to have to log in to the AS400 and reset their connections.)
That's just one example, and the majority of the new settings are more security oriented I believe, but anything that allows us, the admins, to remotely exercise greater system control via AD policies is a very good thing.
You may be right. According to Wikipedia I-75/85 (locally called the Downtown Connector or just The Connector) is already one of the widest sections of freeway in the world at 16 lanes at one point. That said, an outer loop much like the Beltway in Houston would likely eliminate a lot of the traffic for people who don't live in the center of the city and don't have to travel through the center of the city -- it's certainly better than some of the other proposed plans, such as the one to widen I-75/85 to 26 lanes.
Another (better) solution would be to come up with a light rail system that actually served more than just a few areas of the city, but that doesn't look likely to happen any time soon if ever.
LOL. I'm only going from Duluth to Alpharetta. I thought I was being smart when I moved out here by picking an area where I could avoid having to get on 400 at all. Wrong! On a good day, when school is out and on bank holidays, my 18 mile commute is only 45 minutes. More often than not it averages about 1.5 hours -- a little less or a little more depending on when I leave. I've never seen traffic quite as bad as this city.
As somebody who current lives in Atlanta, I'm still trying to figure out how this is going to benefit me. The traffic question in Atlanta isn't one that can be solved by planning alternate routes around large traffic jams. The problem here is that the traffic is everywhere and at the right (wrong?) time of day there really is no good alternate route that isn't congested. Atlanta growth has far outstripped its ability to build the necessary road infrastructure to handle the traffic. What they really need in this city is more capacity or a second, outer loop around the city, but that plan has been talked and talked about for years and it seems that none of the 5 or 6 counties in the area can ever agree on a solution for an outer loop.
My solution to the traffic problem? I'm moving in a week to a place without this kind of insane traffic.
I used to use one of those fog free mirrors until my landlord decided to be "nice" and clean it for me one day when he was working on a repair in the bathroom. Now my anti-fog mirror is a pro-fog mirror and I have to keep throwing water on it to keep it unfogged enough to shave.
As for shaving oils, I usually use regular shaving cream, but once or twice I've used some Skintimate ladies shaving cream that a girlfriend left here one time. It's actually given me a surprisingly close shave. The only reason I don't keep using it is because I don't like my face smelling like strawberries and cream. It's not a very manly smell.
When I read the/. synopsis, Deus Ex 2 was, indeed, the first game that came to mind. It was nice to see it on the list (Yes, I did RTMFA). I would have to say that it is hands down the most disappointing sequel I've ever been subjected to. Not the least of which was becuse I tried to play through Deus Ex 3 seperate times and was thwarted by technical issues each time, never actually making it to the end. (HD crash, what appared to be a sound card incompatability that caused severe game instability, and some weird glitch that I don't really remember which caused me lose approximately 6 hours of saved gameplay and causing me to invoke the 3 strikes rule.)
Anyway, that was definitely one game that deserved to be on the list. Although DXIW may have done well amongst those who didn't play the first, it did absolutely poorly amongst the true DX fans.
That's actually not a bad idea, but is that a feature that we will ever see make it down to the consumer level APs? I mean, how many people purchasing consumer level APs will be that interested in security that they will look for a router with that feature? I would imagine that subset of security concious people will also be the same people who turn off SSID broadcasting, enable WPA encryption, and utilize MAC Address filtering. IE, these are the same kinds of people who wouldn't have any untrusted computers running on their network to begin with.
That said,I myself would be interested in seeing this. I rent a basement from a gentleman and leach my internet access from his wireless network (with his permission). I do use a NAT router to segment my network from his and protect my computers as best I can, but I actually have no way of protecting myself from an ARP poisoning attack performed on his segment of the network. His network is only secured via 64 Bit WEP with a pretty simple password -- the barest of securities and any education on the matter has fallen on deaf ears.
Lastly, for the record I've acutally used ARP poisoning to monitor network traffic for select computers in an office before. It's really quite amazing how easy it is to do and how brilliantly it works. Especially when you use the tool (this was a couple of years ago so I don't remember what it was called) that would allow your browser to display all of their web browser requests, allowing you to see the same pages they were visiting.
Waaay OT, but once upon a time, I did have an Enterprise model similar to what you describe. It had blinking lights and made torpedo sounds and everything. I was so proud when I had finally completed the model... until I found out that the base wasn't weighted enough and the model was really, really top heavy. After about the third time our housekeeper knocked it over and broke it, I gave up, trashed it, and just bought a freakin' poster instead.
My point is that one may not need that sort of geek cred. They may just like to have the stuff to look at.
Actually, I used to ALWAYS maximize, but as my screens have gotten larger and resolutions gotten smaller, I've taken to having everything in a window. I find it much easier to switch between applications simply by clicking on the underlapping window instead of the task bar item. (Especially since the task bar was changed up a bit in XP.) In fact, at work, we used Extra! Personal Client for 5250 emulation, and I love how it will scale the text along with the window size. Why can't every damn window do that?
My biggest gripe these days are the abundance of sites that have started using fixed width table sizes wider than my browser. (Roughly around 700 pixels wide, give or take.) Dell's site is one of them and it really pisses me off having to scroll horizontally to see the whole damn site just to order a new laptop for one of our VPs.
One thing I don't get here. If NK wanted us to notice them, then why did they only give a 20 minute warning to China? Why not tell us when and where so that we can directly observe the results and come to the conclusion that they so obviously want us to come to? Are they really that afraid that if we knew when and where we would be able to disrupt the test?
Something about the woodgrain on my desk one year at school caused a funny little issue with the first generation Intellimouse Explorers. If I quickly moved the mouse up or down and to the right, it would perpetually track up or down and to the right, meaning that I could put my CS character into a constant spin without touching the mouse. I used to like to do this on top of a dead body if I got a particularly sweet kill. It was kind of like my victory dance.
Sanyo 8200 with the automatic digital and analog roam option turned on. It really kills the battery life switching on automatic roaming since it switches bands and towers a lot more frequently. Add in to that the fact that my apartment is in a basement and so has bad reception. If I leave my phone in my pocket while I'm home, it's really hard bad on the battery since it spends a lot of time switching towers.
I also tend to chat for at least an hour a day on it and like to play Sudoku while my life is wasting away sitting at stop lights on the way to and from work. I wish I could get more out of it though. My old Sony Ericsson T60d would go about 4 days between charges, although that was when I also had a house phone so I admittedly talked on the cell phone less those days.
What's the big deal? You probably already recharge your phone every 1 - 2 days. The same with your Bluetooth headset. Maybe once a week for your PDA. What's one more device added to the mix? Aside from maybe having to purchase a new powerstrip to have room for all of your devices, I don't see where it would be a big deal to remember to plug one more device in every night.
