  1. Re:Evil on Banks' Big Upgrade: Meet Real-Time Processing · · Score: 0

    USURY is a deceptive way of enslaving people without them realizing it until it's too late. It is morally indefensible just as slavery is morally indefensible, and I'm not sure why you're trying.

    The curious ones out there should do a little research on how those who practiced usury used to be punished. This should give people an idea of the SERIOUSNESS of this injustice.

    Some of us don't know that much about hardware, but are still intrigued by the software aspect of it. Hardware is the Body; Software is the Mind; and We are the Soul. All parts are required.

    Weapons are the bearers of bad news;
    all people should detest them.

    The wise man values the left side,
    and in time of war he values the right.
    Weapons are meant for destruction,
    and thus are avoided by the wise.
    Only as a last resort
    will a wise person use a deadly weapon.
    If peace is her true objective
    how can she rejoice in the victory of war?
    Those who rejoice in victory
    delight in the slaughter of humanity.
    Those who resort to violence
    will never bring peace to the world.
    The left side is a place of honor on happy occasions.
    The right side is reserved for mourning at a funeral.
    When the lieutenants take the left side to prepare for war,
    the general should be on the right side,
    because he knows the outcome will be death.
    The death of many should be greeted with great sorrow,
    and the victory celebration should honor those who have died.

    I believe today that there is a need for all people of good will to come with a massive act of conscience and say in the words of the old Negro spiritual, "We ain't goin' study war no more." This is the challenge facing modern man.

    I'm disappointed to hear that JanSport quality has gone downhill. I have a JanSport bag that's over 10 years old, and it's STILL holding up. That said, I've been thinking of buying a new bag (possibly another JanSport due to my good experience with them) but now I don't know.

  23. Fine Woman in YDL Commercial on Review: Yellow Dog Linux 2.2 · · Score: 1

    In reality, women this fine don't use Linux....
    Theoretically, it's possible, but the chances are so slim. It's such a dishonest commercial, and you can tell by her voice that she knows its dishonest. To use sexuality to sell Linux... What a twisted world this is. Linux is about freedom, but I guarantee you that she does not feel completely free. (Sadly, she might not even know what it is... not many people do.)

    She doesn't belong there.... Her beauty is being wasted. I hope she finds something where when she speaks, she sounds resolute. It will be good for her soul, because her inner beauty will shine in combination with her outer beauty, and she will be 1000x more beautiful when that happens.

  25. Lack of Game Programming Theory is OK on Programming Linux Games · · Score: 2, Interesting
    I think there are enough books that cover the different topics of Game Programming Theory, that it was OK to skimp on them in this book. This book is more about how to perform common game programming tasks in the context of Linux. Programming Linux Games accomplishes this well.

    If someone really wants Game Programming Theory, they can find it elsewhere or even within themselves. This is a fairly wide-open topic, and a deeper coverage of these topics might have been interesting, but in the end, it would have made this book less focused on the main objective of this book: To show people how to program games in the context of Linux
