Wow, is it a cabin in Montana you're renting ? That's seriously paranoid. I don't know about the US but I'm pretty sure it's illegal in europe to sign a contract with a fake name.
Change is fine--if it is an improvement. Change for change's sake is just annoying. Personally, I don't find Chrome's interface an improvement in any way. I couldn't give a shit about the "clean look" fad myself (AFAIC, Steve Jobs can take his one-button mouse and shove it up his iHole). I just want my browser to be functional--and not force me to dig around in some new UI just to do simple stuff like printing.
Don't blame Apple for this one, that stupid "no menu" look is Vista's doing. Apple tried to go the tabs-on-top route with Safari 4 but luckily listened to its users and reverted to the old way.
Not to mention they're very nonchalant about a parasite that is extremely harmful to pregnant women and their unborn child. It's not exactly harmless in other adults either; a girl I know was seriously sick from some weeks after contracting toxoplasmosis and said she felt weakened for months afterward. Last thing we need is idiots going around licking cats to improve their football (that's right America football not soccer) skils.
I do not take Genesis literally, it is a creation myth. But if we take the general view that all is somehow God's creation and leave the how aside then he sure did create a lot of this thing he does not like. Not only in humans, who are sinful, but also in animals which the catholic catechism describes as "... God's creatures. He surrounds them with his providential care. By their mere existence they bless him and give him glory"
In the end I think the whole discussion is pretty much irrelevant. People are not here to judge (that's someone else's job), we are here to forgive each other's trespasses as best we can and help each other through this thing called life. That's the way it was taught to me at least.
The passage might not say homosexuality is a sin, but I'm unaware of anywhere that says it isn't a sin.
That passage might not say eating twinkies is a sin, but I am unaware of anywhere that says it isn't a sin. They must be the devils food. Funny logic. The passage is a straight answer on a question if it's OK to divorce, it has nothing whatsoever to do with the sinfulness of same sex relations.
When I said "selective reading" I meant that they do not follow all the other laws laid down in the old testament.
Now of those passages New Testament none are from the 4 canonical gospels. They are from the pauline epistels which are letters by the first century church leader Paul to his churches. They should be placed in their historical and geographical context. Furthermore the translation is contested.
However, I'll have to challenge you to select other passages from the bible that contradict or refute the ones quoted above. Sure, that filthy hippy Jesus waffled some peacenik tree hugging propaganda about loving and forgiving sinners, but I don't recall him saying that it wasn't a sin.
If He didn't say anything about it it must not have been a big issue. After all if he found the time to say it's easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven surely he could have said something ? It's precisely because Jesus was silent on the matter we rely on Paul's interpretation as he communicated it to his churches.
Christianity is NOT anti gay, some (most) of the christian churches are anti-gay. They base this on a selective reading of the Old Testament which they use to justify an opinion they already held previously. The "christians" who use their faith to justify anti-gay bigotry should be told to read Leviticus in its entirety and fuck off. Especially those in US churches that look more like Old Testament eschatological cults than anything teaching the New Testament values of love and forgiveness.
Remembering random strings isn't that hard, it just takes time. People's heads are crammed full of random bits of data (pieces of bank account numbers, random login names you've been assigned, etc.) Instead of using a 20 character string as a password and trying to remember it straight away, generate four 5 character strings, write them down and recite them a couple times a day every day for a couple of weeks. After you're so sick of them you could recite them in your sleep eat the piece of paper and combine them into your superpassword. It's better than opening yourself up to dictionary attacks by developing methods and habits for forming passwords (for the real important stuff.)
Except they're not misleading people. Don't take it from me as I've been accused of being a fanboi (I'm not), here's someone who's actually gone out and measured signal strenghts and the impact of holding the phone in multiple ways. You know, what geeks are supposed to do instead of bitch and moan. Conclusion: while moving the antenna to the outside of the device has caused problems "The antenna is improved [...] the iPhone 4 performs much better than the 3GS in situations where signal is very low."
The article confirms pretty much everything Apple says in your quote.
Overrated mods, really ? It's not at all relevant that the site that has faced police action and possible criminal charges after the stolen prototype sage are pushing this story to the point where they are getting interviewed about it in The NY Times ? (Best part of that article: the Gizmodo editor actually has better reception with his iPhone 4 than before.) Well excuse me for pointing out that when you say "consider the source" that works both ways.
Funny, cause my Motorola Droid has a plastic case and my skin never comes in contact with the antena.
That's because that is irrelevant. My old Nokia 3310 used to drop a bar of reception when I picked it up. Of course it didn't drop calls because I was on a decent network.
Irrespective of the possibility of fixing the issue in software (on which subject I expect there will be no shortage of ill-informed opining here), Dilger's not what you'd call a trustworthy source.
Because the people who broke this "story" are such a trustworthy bunch with no scores to settle ? This whole thing is a non-story and only useful as link bait for the tech "press" while the iphone 4 is hot.
It's funny because that's a common Christian theme - that they're persecuted, that they're the underdogs, the minority, even when they have an overwhelming majority. It's a lot easier to feel self-righteous (another Christian theme) when you think you're downtrodden. Just look at the "War on Christmas"! Oh noes, WalMart greeters are saying "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas"! Help, help, we're being oppressed because a large company is acknowledging the fact that not everyone is Christian!
Don't throw in all Christians with your North American fundies. That behavior is completely baffling to the many Christians in the rest of the world.
Memorization has always been a part of education even in Ancient Greece : "The first task of the scholastikos was to acquire a liberal education through diligent reading (and even memorization) of the classics of Greek literature."
That quote is from the introduction to a translation of the oldest joke book in the world. Read it, you'll see your attitude towards students isn't exactly new.
I still have Phoenix 0.5 stuffed away in a folder somewhere even though I rarely use Windows. Man, that thing was fast & simple. It just blew every other browser out of the water by comparison at the time.
Probably the only thing going for Firefox are extensions(Chrome supports extensions now) and proper Adblock.
Safari supports extensions now too so that's going to take a big bite out of their mac market share. Probably the best thing Firefox has going for it now is dev tools like Firebug. I remember how nimble and fast it used to be back when it was still called Phoenix, what the hell happened ?
Cell phones apps don't magically stop working when you have no coverage. And I guess people out in the Australian outback who rely on so-called "flying doctors" (or indeed people relying on similar services around the world) could use this kind of app for a first diagnosis in a pinch. Doubly so if the application could give first aid instruction to people on the scene of an incident.
Yeah, even though there are other apps available that offer the same content. That's one of the parts that are indefensible: the inconsistency. If you're going to have a tough policy it has to be consistent or you're shooting yourself in the foot (as they are doing on a regular basis.) Still, taken globally that seems to be the policy.
Selling material of a sexual nature to minors, potentially. Think "Dead Kennedys obscenity trial." I whish things had improved since 1985 but I wouldn't bet on it.
Wow you're brave. Most people get modded troll for saying Apple acts like the typical corporation.
If calling someone a prick over the internet is brave then there are a lot of superheroes here. Posting something calling people "fanbois" and "pricks" isn't clever, it cheapens the conversation. Lord knows why stuff like that gets modded up. (In b4 "cuz it's true LOLZ".)

Wow, is it a cabin in Montana you're renting ? That's seriously paranoid. I don't know about the US but I'm pretty sure it's illegal in europe to sign a contract with a fake name.

I just hope the finals end with a penalty shoot-out because I could do with a good laugh.

It sure does.

You really want to be gay-for-pay ?

But the beer costs $10 a glass.
They have much to learn about balancing the needs of the people and the needs of the state.
"Hey Svend, you'll never guess what I got this crazy American to pay for a beer ..."
Cell phones apps don't magically stop working when you have no coverage.

It's called metaphor and hyperbole. Grow up, or at least read a book or something.
It's actually an analogy, a very, very overblown and over dramatic analogy. Know what book I read that in ? The dictionary.
Yeah, even though there are other apps available that offer the same content. That's one of the parts that are indefensible: the inconsistency. If you're going to have a tough policy it has to be consistent or you're shooting yourself in the foot (as they are doing on a regular basis.) Still, taken globally that seems to be the policy.
Then why did they block the 4chan app? On its own it didn't have any nudity - however it was able to get said nudity online over the net.
Potential CP, normal rules don't apply. You get before a judge as a defendant in a CP trial and it doesn't matter how right you are, you're fucked.
Selling material of a sexual nature to minors, potentially. Think "Dead Kennedys obscenity trial." I whish things had improved since 1985 but I wouldn't bet on it.
