    Grand-Parent Poster: You should read the Doctrine and Covenants. Basically will explain everything that LDS members believe.

    All I know about LDS I got from South Park. Did Smith really read the gold plates out of a hat?
    So presuming I manage to get to Paradise, there's no chance of further promotion from there? If not, why not?

    just like stolen GPL code is always called "stolen"

    That's not at all the same thing. The code is put forth as a new work. Just like if you invent something and I claim to invent it then I stole your idea. In other words, I am representing your work as my own, which is completely different from what is done by unauthorized downloading.

    Some christians believe that the bible contains the truths necessary for salvation

    If there is a salvation to be had, here is the secret: Be kind to each other.
    What else could possibly matter?

    Any God that cares if you worshipped him doesn't deserve the position.

    I have a friend who works on the show, and he told me how the cliffhanger was planned to be resolved.

    *Warning - Spoiler follows*

    Pam wakes up from a fitful sleep, goes into the bathroom and opens the shower door, and Bobby steps out. It turns out that it was all a dream and they're back in Dallas together again.

    Using a database for bookmarks is just plain stupid.

    Suppose I wanted to know when I bookmarked it. And how long it's been since I used it. And how many times. What if I want to have it expire in a month? And what if I want to make a few notes about it, categorize it, group it. Etc. etc. etc.

    All those things are easy with a database, and mighty painful with a "plain text editor."

    After all, Bill Gates also publicly came out against DRM too.

    I hadn't heard this. So then presumably they're going to be removing it from Vista?

    I had a friend who was remarkably good at mimicking the voice on my machine. She called and left a message that repeated the menu commands, and I was sitting there trying to figure out what was wrong with the damn thing.

    No other Core 2 Duo would be able to run for 14 hours in that thin of a laptop.

    Why, would it keep hitting its head or something? I'm missing your point. Why would the thinness keep it from running that long?

    They haven't sued and as soon as they get done talking to their lawyers I'm sure they won't be planning on it. All they did was send some (admittedly retarded) emails.

    And stock exchanges are allowed to "own" the trading data for a few minutes, even though they are just facts. That's why all the free quotes are delayed. If you're getting real-time quotes, the exchange is getting a fee.

    Are you completely ignorant as to how English works? His point was that he was convicted for uploading movies, but the sentence makes it sound like he was convicted for using Bit Torrent. If a person uses a hammer to break a store window, he won't be convicted of using a hammer.
