How do you separate the principles from the principle point of the religion? Your reply even tried by removing "Christ" from "Christianity", using "Xtianity" instead. But if you remove Christ, what is left? Are you saying that you're qualified to say which pieces are "good" and which are not?
Have MS be forced to issue detailed, complete interoperability specifications for any software they release {3,6} months before the release date (with exceptions for patches). This would open up Orifice, etc. to true competition.
I remember going to a pair of seminars one day long ago; one was showing the 8086 running with an ICE (In-Circuit Emulator, a fantastic way to debug hardware). The other was about the 68000 - and in that seminar, the folks from Motorola were asking the engineers in the audience what they thought the instruction set should look like on the 68000.
So those of us making design decisions at the time had very little choice - the 8086 was there and real, the 68000 was still in design and not even layout.
Now the National 16032, 32032, etc. was a great chip - that's the one I mourn not having "made it".
In schools such as you're describing where you are all given one assignment to complete, you're competing with others, and all of you are working toward individually completing one goal.
In work settings, that would be nuts - typically you will be given something to work on, one sub-goal of a team goal, while others are working on a different sub-goal. So cross-pollination is fine then; it's not stealing others' work, but contributing to the final product. In school, you and you alone are being evaluated by your work; so using someone else's work gives inaccurate and wrong results, hence it is punished. At work, you're all going to be looking for jobs if the company fails, and you'll all be better off if it's successful (ignoring union complications, idiotic companies/PHB's, etc.).
In short, the real world (tm) is not like school. Don't get hung up on expecting it to be the same.
Get an old PC with a 1.44 MB floppy and a couple of NICs, without a hard drive and without a CD.
Put GNATbox light on it. It's free (as in beer). Register it and you get 5 internal IP addresses, 200 concurrent connections, stateful packet inspection, email gateway, etc. etc. Pay 50 bucks and you get a DMZ feature added.
Oh, and it's ICSA certified - not something you're going to find in any other nice cheap answer.

September Anniversary of Several Past Attacks, Events
Tuesday, September 11, 2001
September marks the anniversary of several noted political events and terrorist attacks.
On Sept. 11, 1922, a British mandate was proclaimed in Palestine, despite Arab protests. It lasted until 1948, after the United Nations authorized a partition of the territory and the state of Israel was established.
On Sept. 6, 1970, three planes from TWA, Swissair and BOAC carrying more than 400 hostages were hijacked and ordered to the Jordanian airport by the PFLP, in what is known as "Skyjack Sunday." Another terrorist team tried to hijack an El Al Boeing over London but security staff foiled the attempt and captured one of the hijackers, Leila Khalid, alive. The German, Swiss and British Governments all agreed to the PFLP's demands and released a number of terrorists, including Khalid, held in their jails.
On Sept. 11, 1972, the troubled Munich Summer Olympics, also remembered as "the Olympics of Terror," ended. For 21 hours under live television cameras,hooded gunmen of the Palestinian faction "Black September" held Israeli athletes hostage, killing 11 of them duringa botched getaway and airport firefight with German antiterrorism squads.
On Sept. 28, 2000, the eve of Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish New Year), Ariel Sharon, then- leader of the opposition right-wing Likud party, visited the Temple Mount in the Old City of Jerusalem. Sharon, accompanied by an entourage of security officers, claimed he was exercising his right to visit the Mount, but his visit angered many Arabs, both Israeli and Palestinian. The day after the visit saw the beginning of what is known as the Al-Aqsa Intifada.
If playing a video game has no effect on behavior, then you'd better phone Procter&Gamble real quick - tell them to discontinue their advertising, that 30-second and 60-second video exposures have no effect on behavior. Face it, corporations advertise because it works, so if advertising on TV works, why would you think video games have no effect?
A jacket can be removed and placed over the modem, whose blinking lights would otherwise indicate some helpful programmer back in the office is "aiding" the demo at the site...
The system actually worked great, it was just that the reboot test had an Emulex Eprom that had a bug in it which required the hitting of a return keystroke to get the 11/23 to proceed through its boot.
In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
I know, this is as unpopular on/. as saying BillG runs a super-duper company that's really good to people.
But did you know that the Bible, written millenia ago, says "God stretches out the heavens"? Yes, now we know that the universe is continually expanding, but that sure wasn't a human concept when Isaiah wrote that thousands of years ago.
There are tons of other points in the Bible that show more than human origin in writing it. Like the fact that the universe just leapt into existence when God spoke a word. The Big Bang was not a theory developed in the first century, but while we now know about the big bang, humankind then didn't.
Or did you know that the Bible predicts 10 dimensions, with 6 collapsed (heard of String theory) shortly after the Bang?
Perhaps if some of you took the time to check out books like this you might learn what the Bible really has to say, rather than taking the opinions of others.
Actually the founding fathers were almost to a man deeply Christian. I realize many history texts and professors nowadays claim otherwise, but go inside the Jefferson Memorial and read what's there. Or check out these quotations:
Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers, and it is the duty, as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian nation, to select and prefer Christians for their rulers.
- John Jay, first US Supreme Court Chief Justice
The reason that Christianity is the best friend of government is because Christianity is the only religion in the world that deals with the heart.
- Thomas Jefferson
Indeed, I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just, that His justice cannot sleep forever.
- Thomas Jefferson, inside the Jefferson Memorial
I have examined all (of scripture), as well as my narrow sphere, my straight and mean, and my busy life would allow me, and the result is that the bible is the best book in the world.
- John Adams
The highest glory of the American Revolution was this: it connected, in one indissoluble bond the principles of civil government with the principles of Christianity.
- John Quincy Adams
Our constitution is written for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for any other.
- James Madison, "father of the constitution"
It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians, not on religions, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ!
- Patrick Henry
Reason and experience both forbid us to expect, that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principles.
- George Washington, Farewell Address
Yes I've heard of "separation of Church and State". Have you heard its context? Jefferson was writing a letter to a pastor in Connecticut, assuring him that the State would never try to interfere with the free expression of religion. That's the context in that letter. The "separation" is nowhere in the Constitution. In fact, check out these quotes by the founding fathers and think about the origin of the country and why we are less now than we were:
Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers, and it is the duty, as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian nation, to select and prefer Christians for their rulers.
- John Jay, first US Supreme Court Chief Justice
The reason that Christianity is the best friend of government is because Christianity is the only religion in the world that deals with the heart.

Yes it's correlative not causative proof, but circumstantial evidence is sometimes all we have to deal with.
And as for the Mosaic law, that does still apply to those attempting to live by the old law. But Christ came to deliver us from having to live by the sacrificial law, and we are now called to the higher principles of the Sermon on the Mount. All but one (sabbath) of the ten commandments is repeated in the New Testament, but not the rest of the Mosaic law. So Christians are not called to the Levitical standard.
But remember it's not about Christians, it's about Christ. We are all sinners, becoming a Christian does not absolutely stop that by any means. It gives us a path for forgiveness, but as the Bible says, "there is none righteous, no not one".
There is no Constitutional "separation of Church and State". This term is taken from a letter Jefferson wrote to a Pastor in Connecticut assuring him that the State would not interfere with nor attempt to control the expression of religion. Exactly the opposite of how it's taken today.
The founding fathers were deeply religious, and intended this as a Christian nation. Certainly they never intended this to be an atheistic or nontheistic nation.
So does that mean that tourists on the space station won't be able to get webvan deliveries any more?
Maybe Chapter 11 to duck bad deal with ex-CEO?

Webvan, in what sure looks like a real bonehead move, hired as a CEO a guy from Anderson Consulting and agreed to pay him 375,000 per year even if he was fired.
Maybe with the Chapter 11 filing they can get out of that dumb contract and keep going without the lodestone around their neck?
Anyone doing international projects will find it a LOT easier in Win32 coding to do full Unicode; my company is just doing deployment of clients on 16-bit kernel OS's (9X, Me) as ASCII only, and insisting that customers must use a 32-bit OS (NT4, Win2K, XP) if they want anything but ISO 8859-1 encoding. Then a few #ifdef _UNICODE's in the code and it's pretty much handled.
Sorry for my wording, I was rushed and did not spell it out in utterly unambiguous terminology.
The statistics show that couples that read the bible daily together have a divorce rate of 0.1 percent. That's one couple per thousand couples that read the bible daily get divorced. Remarkably different from any other group I have ever seen split out in the statistics.
And no, this does not happen because we "believe we'll burn in hell for eternity" if we get divorced. I fear that some intolerant individuals have misrepresented Christianity to many of you. As a Christian, even if I got divorced, if I repented of that sin, I would be forgiven in eternity. I would still certainly suffer the consequences of the sin (feeling miserable, alimony, whatever). But I would be forgiven.
Chrisitianity is about love - read 1 Corinthians 13, or Matthew 5-7, you'll see what we are called to. Are we all capable of that? No, we're sinful humans, and not capable of that perfection - but we should try to get as close as possible. Unfortunately many people who are labelled as Christians and are not (Oral Roberts, etc. etc.) don't follow those goals and tarnish the reality.

How do you separate the principles from the principle point of the religion? Your reply even tried by removing "Christ" from "Christianity", using "Xtianity" instead. But if you remove Christ, what is left? Are you saying that you're qualified to say which pieces are "good" and which are not?

Have MS be forced to issue detailed, complete interoperability specifications for any software they release {3,6} months before the release date (with exceptions for patches). This would open up Orifice, etc. to true competition.
I guess they really want to compete with M$ - remember the FrontPage license?
I remember going to a pair of seminars one day long ago; one was showing the 8086 running with an ICE (In-Circuit Emulator, a fantastic way to debug hardware). The other was about the 68000 - and in that seminar, the folks from Motorola were asking the engineers in the audience what they thought the instruction set should look like on the 68000.

Now the National 16032, 32032, etc. was a great chip - that's the one I mourn not having "made it".
In work settings, that would be nuts - typically you will be given something to work on, one sub-goal of a team goal, while others are working on a different sub-goal. So cross-pollination is fine then; it's not stealing others' work, but contributing to the final product. In school, you and you alone are being evaluated by your work; so using someone else's work gives inaccurate and wrong results, hence it is punished.
