Contrary to popular belief, people are neither homo- nor hetero-sexual. People are sexual. The Ancient Greeks had that figured out, why can't we? The color of your skin is genetic, your personal religious beliefs are not. Gay is not the new Black and people I know who happen to be from a minority feel offended and marginalized by that way of thinking. The Human Experience isn't black and white and doesn't fit into a box. People who put other people into groups or classifications are often bigots, especially if you judge by the group. Understand that there's a difference between contradiction and harmony. Keep an open mind, treat others with dignity and respect, discover the truth, be more than you were, rise above the status quo and don't be a statistic. There is no race of humanity, only humanity. A little competition and a little rebellion are good for the soul. Be bound only by your dreams, not your failings. Be at peace with yourself and your neighbors. Look after the widow and the orphan. Help the alien, they are strangers in a strange land. They're not here for your job, they're here for a better life. Hate war and love peace, but be willing to fight for what you love. Love yourself and those around you. Love wisdom as though she were a lover. Seek her out and drink deep of her wells. Open your eyes, your mind, your heart and the world will surprise you.
It's not that "All men are sinners", but that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. In the flesh we are imperfect, but that does not mean that we are continually and purposefully sinning.
-From 2nd Corinthians 5 (New King James Version)
14 For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; 15 and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again. 16 Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
I agree with your position on Warrantless wiretaps, they're just plain scary - Unreasonable Search & Seizure. I haven't heard any mainstream presidential candidate _say_ anything against them, which is even worse. Maybe I just don't get the same news out here where we cling to our guns and religion and the rest of our constitutional rights.
Out here, we have more trouble with kids shooting other kids than with police oppression.
My browser doesn't support Flash either. Or PDF's... Or... Java... I think I need a plug in for that or something... I guess you could translate Ruby to JavaScript and then my browser would support Ruby.
I suppose it's fitting. We got the shuttle Enterprise after Star Trek, now Orion after Stargate? However, I have a feeling it's going to be less reliable than Ancient technology.
Uh, didn't the shuttle Enterprise AND the one from Star Trek get the name from the long tradition of naming the first vessel in its class by the name Enterprise?
In a world where the U.S. secret services admit to having run extensive (and fairly gruesome) mind-control experiments, where secrecy and paranoia run rampant through the government, where Israel is allowed to commit genocide in the Middle East without the media blinking an eye, and where Bush is allowed to build a police state, all to the drums of Christian-Cult Apocalypse insanity, the idea of population control through manipulation of EM fields is not so very far fetched, now is it?
And what sources are you citing for this one?
Define genocide, and cite your source.
Overall your post was mostly informative with a bit of political conspiracy paranoia thrown in for effect. Way to turn it around there at the end.
The actual ongoing genocide, however, in Africa is sad.
"The whole point of the "United States" is that we are a federation of 50 states. That means that we have intentionally crafted a system in which each state gets a certain minimum representation, both in Congress and in selecting a president. Proposals such as this would change the rules under which smaller states joined the union; their voices would cease to be heard.
If this is really the way we want to go, then we should eliminate state government, replace it with regional governors to attend to regional issues, and stop pretending that states matter."
Hmm, I thought we were a supranational constitutional federal republic. Though, I would prefer a confederation better, maybe then the federal government spending would be under control, but probably not. Wait, we already tried that, it didn't work. Nevermind then.
Perl is a good first language. They should first learn it the wrong way, then go back and learn the OO aproach... Learning Java first, will help them to appreciate c#.
In the prevalent design, every transaction is represented as a serializable object which is
atomically written to the queue (a simple log file) and processed by the system.
what about the bloody principle of backing up your own software? let me guess, stallman and his crew has ONE FTP server, and they never back the bloody thing up? they should all be punished for such foolishness. nobody in a corporation would allow this...what would have happened if the harddrive crashed, or the raid crashed hard on that FTP ser4ver? the same thing!!!
asking the world for MD5 sums...
From my take, it's not that they don't have backups, it's that the backups they have are potentially compromised due to the length of time the server was compromised. Thus the need for parity checks.
Linux's rapid maturity--for example, growing up to work on large multiprocessor servers--is evidence of the presence of Unix intellectual property, the SCO suit said. "It is not possible for Linux to rapidly reach Unix performance standards for complete enterprise functionality without the misappropriation of Unix code, methods or concepts to achieve such performance, and coordination by a larger developer, such as IBM," the suit said.
Firstly, it appears as though they are referencing the 2.5 development tree. If this is the case, they do not distribute a development kernel that I am aware of. It is possible that I'm wrong. Second, whatever happened to different means to a similar end? Or rather, "There's more than one way to skin a cat." Could it be that perhaps the IBM developers know what they're doing?
Excerpt from the Bloomberg article:
Caldera's business has been hurt by the free Linux software that IBM has been supporting, Dow Jones said, citing Darl McBride, Caldera's chief executive. Linux is a variant of Unix and isn't copyrighted.
I guess they were fooled by the "Copyleft". Hmm, maybe if they caught on that GNU is Not Unix.
Will be won, not by sticks and stones, nor by nuclear weapons, but by the incompetence of Microsoft programmers who will accidentally release bugs and back-doors which will force its users to activate their software.

Unattended Combat Macroing is against the Code of Conduct for Asheron's Call. Those discovered or reported tend to have their accounts revoked.
As far as the QA comment, they haven't had a patch rollback in a while. So, their QA team has been doing better.
And I thought Quantum Computing was still part of the distant future...
From my take, it's not that they don't have backups, it's that the backups they have are potentially compromised due to the length of time the server was compromised. Thus the need for parity checks.
Then again, I could be wrong...

Wow, playing Nethack on your g/f. There's an idea that adds a new meaning to foreplay. Oh wait, GF, not g/f. GeForce?
