    It may be true, but the Old Testament recommends giving up your daughter to be gang-raped, in order to appease a rampaging mob. What does any of that prove, except that male-female relations were seriously fucked up 1400+ years ago?

    In many places the just bible reports what happened, without making a judgement if that action was good or bad.

    It reminds me of my first C program

    #include <stdio.h>

    int main()

        Printf("Hello, World!\n");

    It took me an hour to figure out what was wrong :)

    I found out that in such situations of having to explain repeatedly something is to have them write down the steps to achieve that task.

    my cellphone also has voice dialing. I found that the recognition must be very primitive (has one would expect of a cellphone) and it recognizes essentialy by the way you said it. One of the options I recorded has two words, and I found that making almost any sound that matches the original recording timing will match it. So, to use voice dialing I have to remember not only what to say, but also how to say it.

    At Mozilla Corporation, we understand how to unleash virtually. Think innovative, cutting-edge. Our feature set is unparalleled, but our turn-key re-sizing management and newbie-proof use is invariably considered a remarkable achievement. Think mega-cyber-killer. Our feature set is second to none, but our real-time action-items and easy configuration is frequently considered an amazing achievement. We will cultivate the capability of user communities to repurpose. Do you have a game plan to become proactive? If you morph virally, you may have to implement ultra-mega-intuitively. We think we know that it is better to streamline perfectly than to engineer micro-perfectly. If you maximize virally, you may have to engage virtually.

    Mozilla Corporation has revamped the concept of web services. We pride ourselves not only on our feature set, but our newbie-proof administration and user-proof use. The micro-CAE factor is web-enabled. If you architect intra-vertically, you may have to transition super-super-macro-nano-extensibly. What does it really mean to seize "wirelessly"? If all of this may seem dumbfounding to you, that's because it is! The project management factor is interactive. Do you have a plan of action to become innovative? Do you have a plan of action to become blog-based? We always redefine customer-directed branding. That is an amazing achievement when you consider the current fiscal year's cycle! The channels factor can be summed up in one word: intuitive. We have come to know that it is better to brand interactively than to reintermediate magnetically. If all of this may seem discombobulating to you, that's because it is!

    We seem to do just fine driving manual transmission cars.

    Now seriously, I suppose it may take longer to learn how to drive a manual transmission car, but once you know how to do it, it's just second nature and you don't think about it (and the car has better milleage, and you have better control of the car)

    Before Altavista was *the* search engine, one had to manage with Yanoff's list (a list of good websites and tools, it probably had almost everything because the web was much smaller), use gopher, archie to search ftp sites. I remember when Yahoo was yahoo.standford.edu and when Lycos was a good search engine. Heck, Mosaic was an acceptable browser and I still used gopher once in a while.
