Hitler was in no way a christian, in fact his aryan beliefs were in almost complete contradiction to any christian belief. And the holocaust was based on race, not religion.
Hitler was indeed a christian. He did very evil things, but he was still a christian. Your second point however, is correct, the holocaust was about race, however the eugenicists saw it..
The Christian religion, is one of the primary reasons for the development of Europe to where it is today. Considering the immense influence it has had over the last 1500 years, it it not supprising that bad things came along with the good. The problem is with human nature, compared to any powerful instituion before it, it was a model of civility.
In fact, Christianity was one of the prime factors holding BACK Western European civilization for the 6-800 years following the fall of the roman empire. What need is there to innovate and to improve your lot in life if the messiah's second coming is right around the corner? It was only after Greco-Roman thought was re-introduced via Islam that Western European civilization started its upswing. Even later, the church had to be pulled kicking and screaming through the centuries by science. From Gailileo to Creationism, the church has had a great damping effect on scientific progress. See A History of the Warfare of Science with Theology in Christendom for many, many more examples.
I'm not trying to take a dump on your beliefs. If they work for you, great. Have a cookie. But don't try to paint Christianity, or any other religion too rosy. Like most institutions, it has its darker side, and Christianity has a very dark one indeed.
Totally silly. First, Hitler was a Christian. In fact there has been literature about the Catholic Church's complicity in the the holocaust. Second, despite the communist party's atheism, crimes perpetrated by them were politically, not religiously based.
Dying "in the name of god" that the previous poster refers to are religious conflicts. Think of the Crusades, Inquisition, wars stemming from the Reformation and Counter-Reformation.

Considering Sens Akaka and Inouye are frighteningly senior, this might not be such a bad idea...
Go see Porn Star: The Legend of Ron Jeremy. It's a documentary, but hilarious, and suprisingly, not raunchy. It will change your mind about documentaries forever.
I wasn't trying to say that. Macs have and do come with appleworks already installed. the retail version of osx is just the os, not all the random goodies that are installed when you purchase the computer. you bought osx to install over an existing version of macos yes? when you bought your mac originally, did it not have a version of appleworks?
There's no question what the kid's motivation was: he didn't want to have to sell a kidney in order to be able to type a paper for school...
I have to disagree. If he has a mac with osx, he at very least has appleworks with which to write papers. I am also going to conjecture that if the kids family can afford said mac + an ipod, they would also be able to afford Office for mac (an academic version is ~$200).
The kid wasn't doing it because he needed the software, he did it for the 1337 rush and because he could. Same reason I stole packs and packs and cartons of cigarettes from supermarkets when i was a teenager. It was easy, and it was a rush.
I also prefered my MREs cold. As a bonus, the heaters make terrific prank bombs. Stuff one into a 20oz bottle of soda, add ranid milk, eggs, or other nasty stuff, seal it up tight and throw it into your mark's room...
That's just about the time when we started to realize we were fucking up and put some land away as parks and wilderness. There may indeed be more trees now than 100 years ago, but far fewer acres are left unpaved..
Celestial (Heaven) - for Mormons who have kept ALL of the laws and ordinances of their church. What will the celestial heaven (kingdom) supposedly be like for a good Mormon? He will be a god, he will rule over a planet with his wives and spirit children.
wma is a mass media application. Of course its going to be a lower fidelity than some. And if they're manipulating the bit stream such that most people think it sounds better, then bravo to them. It sounds more like adding value rather than "psychoacoustical games"
No, I am not a microserf, but neither am I a kneejerk linux zealot.
The final straw for me came when XP on boot would demand i send error reports to the mothership without explaining what went wrong AND since these were tied into IE, I'd get a POP-UP AD!!
The plan, Congress hopes, will be cheaper and easier to implement, and less likely to incur the talk-show ire of civil libertarians and states' rights purists (the same type who squawked in 1908 when the FBI was born).
I'm not one to usually "squawk" about bias in journalism, but what kind of sorry excuse for objectivity is this? "Congress" hopes? since when did congress think all alike? "Talk-show ire"?

The Justice Dept is part of the executive branch. Remember that the attorney general is a member of the president's cabinet?

You did what with todays crypto??
I totally agree. Just ask anyone else who voted for Nader. Or Gore for that matter.
I just had to read at -1 to see if anyone would postulate that the Goatse.cx man was a boyscout.
