The old testament is about the Law (as given in the 10 comandments), while the new testament is about the grace we recieve through Christ's sacrifice. The things in the old test. that you are talking about are the result of that law. God means Law just as much as it means Love.
The real interesting thing IMHO is that Christ's sacrifice was God's way of getting around his own laws...his love is strong enough that he didn't want to have to condem everyone to eternel separation from him (which is what hell really is IMO. Eternel loneliness...ugh).
Well now we are getting into the question of whether there is universal truth or not...kind of a big bucket of worms, huh?
Well, here it goes. If heaven is only something that I have invented in my mind, then how can I be as right as everyone else? Or does my believing it create it? My mind must be pretty powerful...
I think that in this case the definition of religion is really debatable. I would tend to believe that anything that involves beliefs or faith of some kind could be called religion (including stuff like atheism, deism, etc.) In other words, I think what the Constitution is saying is that we have the freedom to believe whatever we want to believe, and to have faith in whatever we want to have faith in.
...the entire bible is a story of redemption, not comdemnation. And you say that I am neither decent nor non-brainwashed? Have you even read the Old Testament? Please tell me, Chapter and Verse, the part that leads "any decent non-brainwashed person to conclude that the Christian God is evil"?
And Christ's sacrifice isn't meant to impress you, its meant to save you.
You are only looking at half of the picture, and the more depressing half, too. The entire point of the New Testament is that God sends part of himself to earth to pay the price for ANYONE who accepts it. And the price he paid was a very very painful way to die. Read the book of Romans.
The history you were taught in school has been much edited to conform to the beliefs of the secular humanists who write most textbooks in use. The 27(IIRC) violations of human rights mentioned in the Dec. of Independence were taken straight out of the bible. 52 of the 54 founding fathers who wrote the Constitution were active members of their churches. Abolishonists (oops, bad spelling) in the 1800's who did so much to end slavery were mainly motivated by their belief that slavery was unbiblical. There are many other things like this...
The bible was an important part of America until liberal judges in the early 20th century decided to add a few things (like separation of church and state, for instance.)
Unless your name is Linus Torvalds (and he has said that he doesn't read/., so you're not) you have no right to say something like that. What have you in your brillence written. If you truely think that Rob is getting rich by posting Katz's stuff, then you are an idiot.
Not that I have anything against FreeBSD, but you just compared Gnome to Windows, decided that Windows has a better interface, and concluded from this that FreBSD is better than Linux. How did you get to talking about FreeBSD? I am using Gnome on a system that could never support Win95/98.
BTW, I use Linux and it works, so I assume from your last comment that you were refering to windows as not working. If it was Linux you were refering to, then you simply sound bitter to me.
...to talk to this guy and ask him what it is like to get paid to lie for a living. Talk about a lack of morals. Falsehoods are all we ever hear from him and it makes me _seriously_ angry both at Microsoft, and at Mr. Muth.
Hello????? This is reality calling. You have no idea what you are talking about. Activex (and OLE IIRC) is a propriatary Microsoft invented technology which isn't very impressive and has absolutely NOTHING to do with being a server.
Did anyone else see an article on Slashdot earlier today that disappeared? It was about wooden computer parts and cases, and Rob made an appalling joke about the mice being something you would "pine" away for.
Anyway, I can't find it and I am curious what happened.

Sadly, this IS what passes for history these days...oh well...its all in the hands of the textbook writers...

Now as for who is right . . . ;)
I believe with every inch of my heart that my "religion is right" as you so nicely put it. And it doesn't make me want to harm you in any way.
Just because something is done in the name of God doesn't mean that it is Gods will. There is a big difference.

Why didn't I get picked...oh well...
Any chance for a few screenshots? Or does the beta test agreement allow for that sort of thing?
Good thing your beliefs don't mean crap to me, or to reality...

Good point. Now if he recorded a few songs and released them as mp3's...;-)
What is Cachedot? I have never heard of it before.

Godd question! :-)

You could post a picture. And maybe one of the IDG employees that left you drooling. And one of Miss Lane.
Accually, pictures of all of the subjects of your awards would be nice.
Thats _really_ cool.
I have been recently. (for 2.2)
This would make a great poll topic! Possibly choices like:
+At work +At home +At school +At work & home
etc etc
Microsoft has to stand by their license. If they won't abide by it, then they should face appropriate legal penalties.
Preach it, Brother!

Puff
I have to admit, I did speak rashly. The FQDN idea is a good one.
