Not interested in getting into a theological discussion with you, but any religion has "Punishments, or consequences" for wrong doings.
The death penalty is to remove a threat from society. Prison alone cannot do this, as we see breaks regularly.
Also you say Christianity has a commandment. Actually thats just an Old Testament Commandment. In theroy Jew, Muslims, & Christians, along with Mormons, Jehivah's Witnesses, and many others claim this commandment. Yet there are other commandments to further this one that say, "If you do THIS, you are to be put to death". Stop taking one line of text out of text and look at the principles they relate to.
Don't be shocked when you post things without actually looking at or thinking about them. You are obviously either unlearned, or repeating things without thinking them through.
I mean honestly who do you cheer for here? The ACLU is notorious for picking extremely foolish topics and going after them like its some pressing political issue.
You know the stories I am talking about. "The ACLU has filed suit on the State of Florida for being called the Sunshine State. Mark Walbourne is allergic to the sun and feels inadiquate that he lives in Florida and people refer to it as the Sunshine State in his presence."
Its probably not popular to the slashdot crowd, but the ACLU is just as weak-minded and lame as the DMCA
Read about that product. Its NOT a controller, but rather a monitor. Basically it sends update data to their system so they know when it was interupted, etc.
I wonder how much it would cost to light it...I wonder if the only reason they have not been lit is because hese companies don't want their end users to have a good time. I am certain it has nothing to do with the astronomical costs of the equipment needed to run it.
I worked for a large telco that was laying Fiber along side of railroads. However due to costs was dropping 4 pipes only using 2 of them. The other 2 were empty yet ready when they needed them and had the funds. The were using about 5% of their fiber for themselves and another 15% was leased out to AT&T I believe or MCI/Worldcom. Bottom line is it costs alot to lay that stuff and also to keep it going. Communication companies have proven MANY TIMES OVER they work slow and not always smart.
This will fall into the catagory like unwanted FAXES. Gives me grounds to SUE SPAMMERS and pay for my broadband connection with the cash.
P2P may die somewhat, but I don't care. I use the P2P products nominally at best. THe only area I might complain is software downloads. I mean legal legit demo's etc. Thats where I see trouble. However my guess is they will have a "unlimited" package for all the p2p people at a higher rate.
End of the day if I can stop the spam I will sacrifice.
Thats right my car is a driving Network. The Chip running my fuel injectors is a mail server. My steroe is cleverly a front for a file server. I have the main combustion system running an apache web-server.
The neat part is each of the disc brakes are actually Harddrives. Thats right and they are a raid too!
Oh and I didn't bother with that linux stuff... ALL MS HERE....
I run the risk of getting hammered here, but I fail to see why this is such a big deal. For years the Feds and other authorities have gotten the wire-taps they needed. Technology progresses and so does their methods.
I have absolutly NOTHING to hide from the feds. They can tap me all they want. They will hear phone sex with the girlfriend, Hey mom & dad how are ya to the parents, and damn did you see that chick in the corner lastnight to my friends...
If it stops some jacka$$ from flying a plane into a building them listening to me talk here and there is a small price to pay.
I have to agree. One of my fondest memories was CO-OP in DUKE! Me and a buddy would direct dial and play co-op for hours. Crank it up to as evil as we could get it and have some fun!
Was almost as bad as a Corpse Run in Everquest having to catch back up to the other if you died way back. Any Monster Scum not blown up would re-incarnate.
I have watched this whole X-Box PS2 war rage for some time. Its amazed me that the X-box has done as well as it has actually. However I have watched Microsoft make a trend of "follow the leader" in the gaming industry and yet stay behind.
Everquest...Love it or Hate it, its been a higher success than Asherons Call. AC2 is excpected out at the end of this year just in time for the Starwars Galaxy release from Sony. We know the SWG release will pull gamers that have never considered a MMORPG before. Not to mention the "Planes of Power" release coming in November from Sony
Then wait a year and get the EQ2 and once again you have the makings of a Sony Victory.
Should Microsoft think they can kick Nintendo out of the Market, they are going to have to work harder than they did to get Netscape off of the desktop. Nintendo has continually shown it can hang in the market, and if they start pumping out new releases of the OLD SKOOL NES games, the nostagia alone will make us buy it. I have not paid attention to the GameCube really, but reading Metroid info has me ready to buy one tonight! Add to that "UP, UP, DOWN, DOWN, B, A, SELECT, START. and I have the makings of a CONTRA PARTY!
Sony needs to send Microsoft an e-mail that states clearly "You're in OUR world now"
I bought the game back on the C64. About a year ago I saw it on ebay for the NES. So I dusted the ole bitch off and have enjoyed it many times since. However the NES has become unstable. If anyone knows how to make it actually turn on when the game is inserted and pressed down. For some reason it clicks on and off several times and I have to keep playing with it before it EUREKA, and works.
Also, I will look into how hard it would be to make a ROM for the cartridge..never tried it, but would be happy to pass it around if I can figure it out. The NES version was a little cleaner than the C64, but still had all the idiosyncresies of the old skool.
Thats right folks. As you park your car you plug into the parking lot/garages network and CLUSTER TIME!!!
Then the real fruitcakes could have theirs set-up to try and cure some horribly evil VIRUS! Can you imagine it? Driving down the road and curing disease all at the same time!
Here goes my Karma, but if this gets fixed its worth it.
I BOUGHT (supported them) Red Hat 7.0 a few months back. I had it installed on a laptop after several days of reading trying and reading some more. I finally bought a low end PC to play with it on.

ANYTIME ANYPLACE YOU PICK THE MAP!!! I will even let you pick which side I am...
I was WELL KNOWN on the Boneyards...me and a friend only lost 2 or 3 times in our reign of terror on a 2 v 2.
I still play it and fondly think back to the days when TA was still new and all the fun that could be had. It was a FLASH RUSH not a ZERG RUSH. The good players could recover from any start and whip you. The bad players just learned from their mistakes.
For you people complaining about the AI, try BLOODTHIRSTY AI. Wow what a rush. Several other AI's were released, bloodthirsty was the toughest (it cheats).
For fun Try Core Prime Industrial Map with 9 AI. Standard AI will take you awhile to beat. Try a smarter AI that nukes and you will have trouble...Add a KROGGY or 2 and WOW its HOURS of entertainment.
I am not the Sniper type. I am the HURT ME type...I tend to run full assault most of the time.
The thought of no sniper rifle is so ridiculous though. The return to Castle Wolfenstien has some form of spot ability to it. Everytime you shoot you see the tracer. However if you are in a good spot, tracer or not you have some ability to not reveal your exact location.
I have noticed if you have 2 good snipers, they will have fun copeting against each other:
Sniper A: shoots and kills Sniper B. Then has a few pot shots at other B team players. Sniper B respawns and hits Sniper A. Then pot shots a few A players. Also each shot causes a meter on the left of your screen to reset...thus making your gun more shaky...the longer you are steady and don't move the easier to aim. Thus you cannot rapid fire snipe.
This makes them a hassle at best yet still allowing other players to have some fun. They are trying to copy the Quake RAIL it sounds like to me which is a mistake...Unreal, and Tourney will lose alot without it.
Last comment...Assuming UT2 allows for mods, I will be a player. Hopefully somoone will create a sniper rifle, as well as the BEST UT mod out there now is CROTCH SHOT!!!! If you have never played CROTCH SHOT MODE you are missing out...Nothing like being the CROTCH DOMINATOR!!! In essence you have a VERY small area of your crotch that is the same as a snipe to the head...only you heart CROTCH SHOT instead. Any gun can land the hit bit its really a small area so its not to dominating.
Obviously you and I come from different worlds then. 90%+ of my document needs require the formatting I get with Word. Its common for me to embed spreadsheets, graphs charts, photos, etc. Use what serves you best.
As for the Flamebait from whoever...GET A LIFE...I am only making a point.
Due to snoops and other l337 h@x0rs I am asking you to send your e-mail encrypted and do not give me information on the Key. This stops evil people from having the ability to function easily.
Thats about the same concept...however his quote was BEST!
"You sent the attachment in Microsoft Word format, a secret proprietary format, so it is hard for me to read. If you send me plain text, HTML, or PDF, then I will read it."
So now I have to buy Adobe to create a PDF for him to be able to read my e-mails...
Also I have used a copy of Word 97 at work for years. I have NO TROUBLE with Office 2K or XP and reading docs. Maybe for the type of work he does txt is acceptable for looks. In my line I need the power of a more robust system. We use Corel for years, however Office IS the Standard regardless of if you like it or not. YOU ARE A MINORITY IF YOU DON'T USE IT!

OK OK I am sorry don;t mod me down for this stupidity
I had a similar experience except it didn't like my network card. I spent hours trying to read and resolve.
Also anything I wanted to download and use I had to compile first. That meant finding the file libraries, many of which were NOT backward compatable. This was all a hassle and eventually I gave up.
Comparing Windows to Linux with an automatic and standard(stick-shift) is not the right approach.
First off the automatic is considered an OPTION UPGRADE. You are saying the manual transmission would be the more feature oriented.
How many people today would truly buy a standard had they never seen or driven one before? Few would because what they have works for them. What you want them to use will take time to learn.
What they have now allows them to eat, drink, and talk on a cellphone with little trouble juggling the feet and hand of a clutch and stick.
They can hold their significant other's hand while driving etc.
Side not I drive a standard and will replace it soon with an automatic. Sometimes control of your gear shifting is not as important as convenience and luxury.
