This doesnt totaly disprove religion, even though common sense does. I know lots of bible thumpers that believe in evolution. Religion tends to evolve itself. It evolves its story to fit the scientific facts of the day.
hehe, man was I drunk last night:) To keep this from turning into a flame fest, Ill leave wwii alone. It doesnt really matter, were all going to be citizens of The United States Of The Corporation soon. As for the indians, they didnt have anything taken from them. They were conquered, plain and simple.
The british are a bunch if pansies. First we whooped their ass's in the revolution (fuck calling the states the collonies, we TOOK this land from you bitch's), then we had to come save their asses from the Germans. Now they let the goverment stomp all over them. I have NO respect for any british. England is where they beta test big brother, once its perfected it will be implemented in the states.
Ok, putting aside the obvious argument to what you said, lets try a different one. The technoligy now exists to enforce all traffic laws. What if they did that? No more traffic violations? Do you have any idea the impact that would have on society? Speed limits are based on cars made decades ago. New advances in technoligy like anti lock, etc, made our speed limits rediculous. What if truckers couldnt speend anymore (even when its safe), what if you got a ticket every time you did a rolling stop at a stop sign? Laws are broken, its a nice ballance on our streets. I could easily been written 200 tickets a day if a cop was following me, and Im a safe driver. Maybe I do 5 over the speed limit, maybe I only slow to.5 mph at a stop sign, and not a full stop. Maybe I change lanes without signaling. NO ONE follows all traffic laws. On the good side, it would be nice if that mother fucker that drives 15 in a 40 in front of me started getting tickets. At this rate, all traffic laws will be abolished, along with all other laws to be replaced with thought crime.
You dont need the net to hack. There was a real big 'crack down' on hackers back around that time. Secret service got me in '88 for phreaking. They had a name for the crackdown to, I cant remember what it was. Went around busting lots of people for bullshit.
Is this in the controler itself? Could I kill this feature by using the SCSI controller I have now? Oh yeah, ide. Anyways same thing, can you use an old controler that doesnt have the CPRM built into it with a new drive that does, and get past the control that way?
I agree. Worshipping actors is stupid, and I cant stand people that do. But this guy made an actual contribution to society. Give credit where credit is due.
At what point would your 'soul' transfer? Ive been running this through my brain a lot lately, because they technoligy will soon be here. What if you transfered your soul to the computer, and your biological body was still alive? Which one is you?
Its not very likely that there have been other species that resembled us. If there had (im drawing a paralel between our intellects) been, there technoligy would have come with it. Chinese wall, eifel tower, paved infrastructures, there would have been some kind of evidence left behind. This is granted that their intelligence closely resembled ours, and that they didnt become extinct before they were able to master it.
You need to re-read the GPL. If you use GPL'd code you must make the source open, and available for up to three years, and you can not change the original licence it was released under, especialy claiming it is yours, or that you own it.
Because its not a simple as a non-geek would think. I havent read the actual bill (that stuff bores me), but going by what our politicians do, Im willing to bet its a bill that sounds good to your windoze users but doesnt actualy work. ie you buy a computer it should never have a problem. No bsod, no viruses, no idiot mis configuring something. If the bill just says that the hardware should work, and if it goes defective, thats fine. I worked a tech support for a large national isp. Some people (the older the more frequent) saw the computer/os/software as one product. Like a car, you buy a car, and get a 5 year warranty. They dont understand if they download something, its not part of the computer. They think like a car, its a single product and it should never have problems, includeing windoze, norton utilities, quicken, non-techies dont realize that they arnt the same.
How can the 3rd one end up with the good guys winning? The closest you can come is princess leia getting the plans to the Death Star, and escaping...err, wait, she didnt make it!

If you want to see church state, try Tulsa Oklahoma. 800 churches in this small backwards ass red necked town.
Considering most people here are intelligent enough to see through religion, I dont think using mythical creatures is the best way to make a point.

I will admit the british are better than those damned canadians.
Tell it the hand cuz the face aint hearing it! (sorry, I know thats stupidity in an art form, but nothing as bad as the article)
Thats spam, and spam is evil.

I think they mean public drunk, as aposed to burglary.
Um, DeCSS?
I got the same thing. I tried to navigate around the site to find it, and all articles came up that way.

IIRC ms also owns the unix formerly known as SCO.

Men think logicaly, women think emotionaly. We are better suited to deal with the cold logical nature of a computer, which gives us a big advantage.
