Methinks some people are shooting themselves in the foot.
Usually, everyone knows that. The problem is on the trainee you hired for almost nothing, and as (s)he costs almost nothing, you don't want to invest time in them, so they are alone in their cubicle. They commit things and nobody looks it over.
Of course, they're trainees, n00bs that don't know better than to concatenate strings to build sql queries.
All in all, in a fair amount of these cases, I'm sure it's bad management instead of poor technicians/developers.
The fact is that nobody gives a damn about their keyboard layout. Once you're used to yours it works and that's all there is to know about it.
Are there people out there that really think they can invent a new layout and popularize it by posting it to slashdot? Some dudes are just living in their very own universe...
I went to an Apple store the other day to replace my now dead battery out of my iPhone 3GS. I left with a brand new iPhone 3GS (or refurbished, I don't know, but not the unit I walked in with).
In the absence of irrefutable evidence about Judaism you're making a bet with your life. I'm not sure how strongly you want to make that wager. God bless you, micahraleigh.
Of course, the same can be said about Islamism, Christianism, The Lord Of The Rings, Star Wars, Harry Potter, and every other piece of fiction written by mankind.
(***) Bless you indeed. And please replace (***) with the deity of the day.
I could go today to a magician show and write literally what the magician did on stage. That could be construed as a "historical fact or historical fiction". It will be a fact but at the same time a fiction. Yet, nothing in the book I'll write should be taken at face value.
The guy on stage is not able to fly, is not able to make bunnies come out of random hats, is not able to read minds or anything else.
And yet, my book will be 100% accurate of what my sensors recorded that day.
So what gives?
Yes, the Bible (and all books it's made of) were written by people. What those people were trying to convey is at beast unclear. It could be straight historical facts, but as per my example above, it doesn't say much about the "facts". It could be "enhanced" historical facts such as many of today historical novels are "enhanced" in that the author invented the missing bit so that the result is readable as a fictional novel. It could be pure fiction.
And yes, you will find historical records of people that "were there" and "saw it all". But then again, some people today can swear they saw the virgin Mary, that they were "miraculously" cured by some crap. Or that this or that statue is crying with tears of blood.
Given the status of communications 2000 years ago and the number of translations and interpretations the bible went through, chances to have a false record are sky high. Not mentioning that propagating these words was a top priority for many people in power back then. These were times of obscurantism.
This is why it is best to consider the whole thing as fiction. Especially since nothing but these words can account for God, the Devil, Paradise, miracles and other concepts right out of Narnia (your reference) because these bits were either invented (for reasons of fiction or manipulation - religious or political), daydreamed (see my record of the magician) or allegorized (that one stands alone). Pick yours.
But having people live by what is written in those books is just either insane at best or malicious at worst.
You've given me proof? You've just cited your big book and that's all about it. Your proof seems to always revolve around the big book, which I see as a piece of fiction. So no, I'm sorry, you've given me no proof at all. If anything, you've given me information about the fact that a dude named Jesus did live 2000 years ago and was crucified, which basically proves nothing when it comes to Christianity.
As far as "the Christ" I see the meaning you're giving to the Jesus that is in the bible and I'm just pointing out there is no proof that someone did all the magical stuff that is in the bible. It's all just a big allegory. Did he have 13 followers? Who cares. Anybody can. Doesn't make him special. Did he died on the cross? Again, lots of people did it at that time. Nothing special. Was he the son of God? What god? The ethereal thingy you claim exist but never gave a sign of life?
People, it's time to grow up. I realized at about 12 that fiction was just that - fiction. And I don't see anything in the bible that could point to anything else.
Jesus died 2000 years ago, and there's nothing left of him - except the idea you have of his "forgiveness". There is nothing the guy can do for you. You'd better start living for yourself instead of living to try to get "forgiveness" by a chimera.
Dude, you're quite not there yet. Sure, there was some dude named "Jesus" that lived around these times and was crucified. But that's no son of God, no "magician" that cured people or changed wine into blood. Or the opposite. Or whatever.
Sure, there was a "Jesus" but he wasn't the one you refer to as "Christ". He was just a dude. And the bible is just a nice story. It's quite simple, really.
Are you getting somewhere or are you going back to those mystic sentences that actually means so little you can find any meaning out of them?
My point is: live your life according to what you know, not what's been written 2000 years ago, then translated and interpreted a few dozen times before landing on your beside table. This is just indoctrination, nothing less, nothing more. Sure, the dudes that perpetrate it might really believe it to be true. It is utter crap nonetheless.
There is no more evidence for the bible to hold any truth than there is evidence for Harry Potter to have existed. It's all fiction. A story, a fantasy.
And believing in some magical being that can revive his son three days later instead of not letting him die in the first place
That wouldnt have been much of a substitutionary atonement if no penalty were ever paid, now would it? The entire point of Jesus' incarnation was the crucifixion, paying a judical penalty for the sins of others.
Dude, this is a piece of fiction! We have no more proof that Christ existed and did what he's supposed to have done than Gandalf or Harry Potter. Stop daydreaming and wake up!
Not quite. It's more like spending the evening wondering what might have happened if Harry had fucked Hermione instead of Ginny. Would he have defeated Voldemort you think?

I don't really know which way I should read this, but there is no way to read it that makes any sense close to being close to an approximation of something that might look like accurate.
I consider atheism (and false religion) to be foolish
And believing in some magical being that can revive his son three days later instead of not letting him die in the first place doesn't look like bad science fantasy literature? Especially since nothing he's ever done can be accounted for by more than a 2k years old book?
You know, we here in the US do kind of have cause to be uncomfortable with being controlled by a higher body.
Doesn't everyone?
Look at what is happening in Greece and you can see how people like getting told what to do by an outside power overriding their own sovereignty.
Don't be so sure about it. They HATE their complacent and stupid government, but most of them see the Europe as the only way out of the third world. So all in all, quite the opposite of what you're stating.
I guarantee you that it's much easier to seal every half-inch crack a rodent could squeeze through in a rack-sized enclosure than it is to seal every half inch crack in a fucking 500,000 square foot data center.
It's a lot easier to seal the perimeter of one 500,000 square foot data center than of 500,000 one square foot centers.
True but the impact isn't the same. If you miss 100 of your 500k one square foot centers, only 0.02% of your servers are compromised.
If you miss 100 spots in your 500k sq ft data center, 100% of your servers are at risk.

Ok, to be really fair I've read the article. I really think RIM won't be around in 5 years, or bought out long before that.
This just goes to demonstrate that RIM's upper management is about a few lightyears away from the cause of their downfall.
If this information is genuine, I don't expect RIM to be around anymore in 5 years.
That's a compelling argument

It is possible to remove a glued on component. Glue does not actually form an eternal bond.
Yes it is possible, but only if said component has rounded corners!

Dude, this is a piece of fiction! We have no more proof that Christ existed and did what he's supposed to have done than Gandalf or Harry Potter. Stop daydreaming and wake up!
Would you really bet your soul on the amount of documentation a The Lord Of The Rings has?
Man, start praying Saint Gandalf right away!
My soul is where it's supposed to be: in my brain. No amount of fantasy and bad literature will ever change that.
Otherwise it's just building sand castles on mud.
Not quite. It's more like spending the evening wondering what might have happened if Harry had fucked Hermione instead of Ginny. Would he have defeated Voldemort you think?
They want to move towards a world where these devices blend into one another.
Will they blend? You bet they will. They will ALL blend!!!
Only chuck Norris doesn't blend.
