The vast, vast majority of the DSS are dated before Jesus' time. Why would they contain anything about Jesus? Better yet, _how_ would they contain anything about Jesus?
Out of the handful that might have been after Jesus birth by carbon dating, most would be when Jesus was a young boy, not when he was doing "all these amazing things."
And then there's the assumption that you're making that these are the original's of the text they contain. They could easily be transcriptions of something that was actually written hundreds of years earlier.
And as for nobody else writing anything about Jesus? Yes, they did. There are plenty of other writings that mention a miracle worker/great teacher/crucified dude from Jerusalem, on top of the Biblical accounts.
It's attitudes like yours that make helpdesks suck. You have no respect for IT workers. Stop being an insecure douche.
Says the AC.
So basically, what you're saying is, I should be glad to be getting paid $18/hour at first level helpdesk, while trying to pay off student loans that are around a full year's gross salary? You want somebody with a degree, you should be paying at least $30/hour. Hell, the high school grad auto workers make more than these CS degree IT workers around here.
No, I have plenty of respect for IT workers. I've been one for going on 20 years. What I don't have respect for are idiot bosses and HR people who have no idea what IT is about, and require downright oppressive requirements for the salary they're willing to pay. Oh....and ACs. I've got no respect for them, either.
Debian renamed Firefox and Thunderbird because the Mozilla Foundation would allow a modified version to be called Firefox/Thunderbird. It was not Debian's decision to do this. Place the blame where it belongs.
Incidentally, Thunderbird was renamed to Icedove. It's pretty easy to find, really, since you can search Debian's package repository for "Thunderbird" in package descriptions, and it comes up as the first result.
And if you want updated software, use testing, not stable. Stable is like Ubuntu's LTS releases. It's older software, because Debian Squeeze (stable) was released on June 25, 2011. Firefox 5 (not counting that short-lived version 4 POS.) was released on June 21, 2011. Do you really expect them to get a new version modified as necessary, tested, bugfixed, tested again, and included in the distribution in 4 days? While they could have been at 3.6, really, the differences between 3.5 and 3.6 are negligible.
Maybe you should learn WTF you're talking about before you make yourself sound like a fool again....
All of this can be easily thwarted by the following
GPO to lock down browser history options, script to pull browser history from system nightly, browser history viewer.
You see, edge hardware is effective, but browser history will tell all.
This is only true if you have your computers on a domain, and disable InPrivate browsing through GPO. Of course, you also need to disable USB ports, optical drives, and file downloading to prevent someone using a copy of PortableFirefox in Private Browsing mode. And since downloading from the Internet is pretty much the whole point for a lot of workers, this basically kills all their productivity, just to be able to use a back-asswords way of doing tracking.
Block every port out at the firewall, except 80, and 110/143/995/993 if your email is hosted offsite (but only allow them to your email host.) and monitor usage at the firewall. That prevents any screwing around by the user.
b) bios updates to not happen because they are "too hard"
How many end users update their own BIOS now? In my experience, it is precisely zero. Most of them, when you mention BIOS, or even explain what it is, get a glazed look on their face.
So this isn't going to change anything for 99.9% of users, other than making it more difficult to get infected by something like this.
Coal miners are not the only people involved in production of energy from coal.
There can be a lot of people die at coal fired power plants, but not a single miner die, or the other way around. In reality, it's a bunch of miners die, and various industrial accidents at coal fired power plants cause other deaths, and probably transporting coal to those plants causes a few deaths, too.
You're trying to compare two completely different statistics that measure two completely different things, and wondering why they don't add up.
as well as their domain admin password Pr0d@dm1n (you can see why Dignotar passed their security audit, they didn't use password1).
It's got upper and lower case letters, numbers, and special characters. By the rule book, that's a really good password. But to those of use who understand security on an instinctual basis, which is pretty much what's necessary to make it workable, it's obviously a terrible password.
Because the comparison slider isn't doing anything all that fancy and is something I could whip up in maybe an hour using JavaScript that could, conceptually at least, work in any reasonably standards-compliant graphical browser released in the past decade.
But that would be something that a point-n-drool IT grad grunt could do in Dreamweaver CS 27, so it'll never happen. And hell, you could whip up a simple script that toggled the image from old to new and back in about 30 seconds. Granted, you wouldn't have the slider with that, but you could still do the comparison.
I live in North Dakota, which has the highest air quality in the united states. Despite the fact that we love coal and oil here.
I'm sure you also have significantly better pollution controls on those coal and oil burning engines/factories/plants/etc than China does. You've also got, what, 50 people in the whole state? (I kid, I kid)
But still, you're getting pollution from neighbouring states. Although South Dakota's population of 75 probably negates that somewhat for you.
But my point still stands: The toxic gasses and other pollutants being released from this factory are affecting a lot more than the 60 people that live in this village.
How come whenever someone says that speed limits don't help safety, some proponent justifies them by bringing up something like "some speeding maniac that cuts you off or runs a red light"?
I've got news for you. These two driving errors are in no way related to speeding. People run red lights driving 10 under the limit. People cut you off driving 10 under the limit. People drive respectfully of others and traffic lights and stay in their own lane at 10 over the limit.
This is virtually no better than the Chewbacca defence.
And your sentence that contains these two logical errors:
The fact that he's a well-trained jackass is irrelevant if he cuts you off or runs a stoplight.
How can you even type that with a straight face? If he's running red lights and cutting people off, he's obviously not well-trained.
- What Apple is doing is not intrinsically good or evil unless it is violating the expressed desires of the people affected.
You say this with the assumption that the only people affected are the, what, 60 people in this particular village.
They're releasing hazardous gasses into the atmosphere. Not "this village's atmosphere," but "the atmosphere." There's only one atmosphere for the entire planet to share at. That means this pollution affects these villagers, some monks on a mountain in Tibet, the vacationers on beaches in Australia, Carnival revelers in Rio de Janeiro, you, wherever the heck you are, me, and even the workers who are continuing to clean up and improve safety at Chernobyl.
Environmental damage is not limited to a local area. It spreads over the entire planet.
Case in point: Did you know that Berlin has a markedly higher background radiation than the average, due to the Chernobyl explosion? Berlin is nearly 1150 km away from the site of the accident. Virtually all of Europe has higher background radiation than North America for this reason. There's no reason to believe North America isn't higher than it was pre-Chernobyl, either.
See, I recognize GPs capitalization as an emphasis of certain words. If I was saying this as a speech, the capitalized words would be audibly emphasized, too.
Yours. OTOH, does actually make you look insane.....
I've said for years that pretty much all FPS games are just Doom with better graphics. For that reason I really don't play them much.
The only ones I actually like are ones with a much larger open world that you can explore however you want, without a "you have to get to this point within this time limit or you lose the objective" like a lot of war simulations are. This type of world doesn't really bother me whether it's broken up into levels or not. The other thing that can get me to play one is a theme that particularly intrigues me.
If the game has both of these, it's great. So far, the only one I've found that really has both though, is the STALKER series. Although CoD 4, partly set in the same location, seems like it might be promising. Haven't played it yet, though.
That's a little bit of an exaggeration. I'd personally say Quake rather than Doom as Quake implemented a few necessities like rooms being stacked and enemies that were sector based.
The biggest thing to happen since then is the implementation of levels that aren't just head for the exit switch.
I don't know about the sector based enemies, but System Shock had stacked/multi-level levels way before Quake did.
WTF has the games industry been up to for the last two decades?
Copying shit. Poorly.
How many yearly releases of EA's NHL 20xx do we need before we realize it's all just rehashing the same crap. They're no better than the movie/music industry.

Okay, but in our defense hamburgers are really good.
No they're not.
If that's what you think, you've only ever had second rate - probably fast food - hamburgers.

I've got no respect for them, either.
Considering the number of job listings I see for helpdesk positions where they want the applicant to have a CS degree, I think this is true.
Yes, I know a CS degree for a helpdesk position is stupid. It's like requiring an M.D. for a hospital janitor. But PHBs around here seem to want it.
I think we can assume that if there's enough power draw for you to be awake (extra lights, TV, etc, on,) then you're viewing porn.... :-/
That's provided people don't ignore the update prompts because "I've heard they can break stuff," or "I think it might be trying to give me a virus."
I get that a lot.

A related, but different, modern saying is, "That which is not tested is broken".
"That which has been tested and found not to be broken, has not been tested enough."
.....a non-totalitarian country.....
There is such a thing?

...of an ad selling "high assurance ssl certificates" on the top of this page is hardly beatable.
"High assurance" now just means "not p0wned, yet, that we know of".
There, FTFY.

Or we need to ignore and marginalize dumb-fucks who get all of their information from other dumb-fucks.
By my estimate, that would be over 90% of the population, in one way or another. Kinda hard to marginalize such a vast majority.....

It certainly does affect everyone.
