The answer is obvious. If you were not so tied up in your media generated preconceptions, you might have noticed. The Christian Coalition is made up of individuals. As the main Christian politicaly active organization, many Christians are members. The top level of the orginization has an agenda that is not in accord to many of the members. The local chapters being somewhat autonomuse have come to there own conclusions.
A large number of Christian, including myself, believe that censorship is a great evil, causing far more harm then good. Parents need to be involved with there childrens lives. Young kids computor time can be monitored. Surfing the web can be a family activity. As our kids get older, they should know right from wrong. There is a lot of stuff that is not pleasent in the world. We need to bring up our children to be able to deal with it. My son would never go to a porn site ( yah, right, the kids 17, sure he would'nt). At some point the children need to become responcible for their own lives. We as parents might not like the decisions that they make, but we had the chance to make our mistakes, and so should they.
Most Christians do not use censorware in their home, feeling that it is unnecessary at best, and a tool of satan at worst. As I stated earlier, most like to be involved with their children instead. I can not think of anything I have enjoyed more then watching my son turn into a man, even though it sometimes hurts to see him make bad choises.
Most Christians realize that if they are doing their job, censorwere is not needed. So the only ones that are being "protected" are other peoples kids. That means that the loud minority of extreemists self proclaimed Christians clamering for censorware are real interesteds in only foisting there brand of Christian morality on others, basicly taking away there freedom of choise. This is sad because our Father, God, has made us with free will, and expects us to use it, even when it hurts Him ( just like my son visiting some stupid site). Christians, as God, kids, should try to emulate our Big Dad, and not emulate satan, whos big thing is control, and removing choice.
I will be writing to Sen. McCain right after I get home. I use to be a real fan, and supporter of him, even though he would give me dirty looks outside of "Harry and Steves", musta had somtin ta do with my a** (**** censor!) length hair and my Harley.
I think you are the first poster so far to notice
the journelistic bias. I noticed it because I am
always suspiciouce of anything in Zip Data, who
have shown so often how willingly they get on their
knees to suck Bill Gates FUD.
Many ZD Linux articals while seeming to praise
the penguines streangths, at the sametime, are
attempting to make any OS, other then the stuff
from Rearmount, sound to complicated for the
non-geek user. This artical strikes me as simulare,
but aimed at the quasi-tech-savy-investor type.
They are saying "Ignore those `Linux on Big-Iron` stories,
because we have proof that it won't work.
Invest in M$ instead.. Trust us."
I knew someone else would have noticed the huge
amount of money 5CD/week is. But (at least were
I live,) CmdrTacos annual CD budget would be more like $5.5K.
What in the world am I doing programing. I guess
if I really want to make money, I ought to be
writing
half baked commentaries on geek life, then I too
could afford to blow $100+/week.
Could it be that many Christians don't worry about
the dangers on the net because they are involved
with ther childrens lives, and trust that they
have brought up there kids to know right from
wrong.
Most of the Christians I know with families
have net access. The adults of these families if
not already computor savy usualy take the time
to become so. For them using the computor is often
a family activity that is replacing the television.
Its worth noting that the computor is actualy building
up the family and fostering and social skills, and not
splitting the family and preventing social development
that so many ludites fear the computor does. But this is
a different topic.
Most REAL Christians ( and not those loud mouth glory
seakers parading themselves in the news) fear
censorship far more the pornography.
Take a look at the NEC press releases. NEC is
betting on Rambutt making them alot of money.
You dont think NEC would yeild without getting
anything back in return. Just like Microsoft giving
preferential treatment to Companies that join them
in there attacks on other OSs. This under the table
hanky-panky is the foundation of Japanese buisness.
American firms are just now catching on. NEC
might apeare to be bending over, but I'll bet that
they are getting allot more then a curtisy reach-
around in return.
Yes, Fuzzy Logic. I derived most of the theroms
and was playing at applications for it in 1977 and
1978, when I was a teenager. So what? Its an
obviouse idea like Ethernet, Metcalfe just published
befor someone, and someone published fuzzy theory
befor me ( actualy I did'nt think it was that big
a deal nor did the good folks who got the credit).
The dudes been senile for at least 15 years. It
really is sad seeing the media displaying has-beens,
like geeks (original sence) in a side show. Though
to be fair, Bob is not so much as a has-been as a never-
was. His one claim to fame is not so much as inovative,
as appearing at the right time. Bob Metcalfe sorta
reminds me of Al Bundy, continualy reliving the
gloriouse day of scoring four touchdowns.
Over the years, the man has said so many assinine
things, that even the ignorant news media (including
oh hallowed NPR) probably realises he's an idiot.
Maybe they are just parading him about so we can all make fun of him.
You are fortunate. My foster son has never been
able to sit still long enough to learn to read.
Befor he came into my life, he was concidered a
discipline problem so the Meas Arizona Unified
School system placed him in a "warehouse" school.
TV bores him, most video games bore him if they
are too simple. If they are difficult, then they
frustrate him. Of course he does hyperfocus on
both tv and video games sometimes.
If only he could read like you. I have enough books
to keep him busy for years, even at a book a day
rate. When I was in school thats what I use to
do, read a book a day. It was one of the few things
I could focus on besides math and programing. As
far as your last paragraph, don't worry. It will
come and go. I have been coding for a looong time.
If you are anything like me ( hyperfast reading etc.)
you will have days that non-productive because of
the great difficulty in staying focused, but you
probably have days where you can crank out more
good code then anyone else. I have found that when
I am able to focus ( about 2 days out of five), I
do as much work as my team mates do in a week. The
problem is often I start to really focus in the
afternoon. By the time I snap out of it, it can
be quite late. That is alright unless your a single
parent of an ADD teenager who needs you home at
a reasonable time!
Anti-Open Source Logitech. You wont see suport for
X11 any time soon, at least from them. But on the
other hand I have been working on something simulare. I was just about to put all the pieces togeather for a first trial. I had planned on
integrating the thing so tightly with X11 and having such a tight patten that windblows would be left out in the cold. I think I will go ahead and finish my project. The hack of X alone is worth the challenge. I also think that what I am doing is actually superior anyways. I wonder how patens will effect what I have done, seeing as I was working on this stuff befor logitech, and what I am doing would be integreated with X?
Actualy, the Japanese communication security was
very good. Most of the comm traffic relating to the
Midway operation was not decrypted. This was because
the Japanese Navy changed codes, even though they
never suspected that JN65 had been cracked. The
only indication that the apperant operation was to
target Midway, was one referance to MI. Basicly
the US gambeled that Midway was the target. Yamamoto
actually wanted to engage a serious portion of the
weakened US Navy in order to crush it. The major
factors leading to the Japanese Naval defeat were
a reduction in available strength ( Orders from
on High to split the force for a Aleutian operation,
and to shore up problems in the South Pacific) and
evolving air tactics. All in all the US Navy was
very very lucky.
Tim, If you can't process knowledge and puns at the same time, you should be in another field, like maybe accounting, were lack of imagination is an asset, not programing. Or are you just sore that the doc writers are more clever then you. Good thing that people like you are in the minority in the techy fields or else we would all die of bordom. Personaly, I find books like "The Standard C Library" by P.J. Plauger, much more usable because of the lightness (like the THX1138 ref). This is a book I refer to often. If you had writen it I would be cursing your name daily. But fortunatly Plauger wrote it, so not only do I get a refrence to the C Library, I get a witty narative that not only keeps me awake while plowing through an awfully dry subject, but provides me with some insight as to why the Standard C Lib. is the way it is.
When you grow up, maybe you won't be so easily bored. It is nice to have an artical about a subject that affects us all, that has some meat in it. If disussions about the tactics of the enemy are boring to you, maybe you should leave/. alone and go back to playing your little video games.
You friend was joking. The only binning Motorola does regulary is for ancient commodity devices and I dont think there is much of that around anymore. Binning is a violation of SPC. Motorolas SPC program called Six Sigma is very stringent. It leaves little wiggle room for binning. Intel is ridiculed by the rest of the industry because of its continued use of multiple bins, 3, 4 or more bins!
There are some instances when 2 bins can be used and still have a process that is in control. In any case in the 10 years I worked for Motorola, in IC Test engineering, did I ever see any binning.
The Center for Creation Studies is one of the most well respected organizations in the Christian community. They are defending the Word of God against the doctorine of Evolution, which is so obviosly a tool of Satan to confuse an unbelieving world. There is only one problem. The CCS uses coersion, misrepresentations of Science, Theology, and even the Bible, slander of researchers, and even outright lies to promote there "science". The last time I checkeck, these were considered the tools of the Devil- Funny choice of tools for the defenders of the faith. It is more likely that these Creation-Scientist are a plot of Satan to provide sugar coated arguments to an uneducated Christian society, thus supporting them in holding anti-scientific beliefs that are not even Biblical, thereby making all Christians look like a bunch of ignorant kooks.
Maybe you need to go to the libray. You might learn the diffrence. The history of the radiolarians, especially during the ordovician, should demonstrat the diffrence. Macro evolution is charactarized by major changes creating new families and orders over a very short time, usualy in association with tremendous enviromental change. The ability of an population to evolve is a survival trait. It should be no suprise that life has evolved to accelerate the rate of change beyond what can be accounted for by simple genetic drift (micro), when enviromental changes require it. We have a lot to learn. Many of our theories will turn out wrong, but our understanding of theis subject will continue to evolve.
Real life is decidable like a math problem. It is just that some math problems have no solution. Have you tried to solve the three body problem lately?
I'm at work and will be for awhile. We have software to cens^H^H^H^Hsheild us from the bad things on the internet. This includes 2600! Has to do with knowledg for criminal skills or something like that. I would trigger the responce to get the actual text but the trigger is recorded and reported. Anyways what does the article say?
Sounds more likely to be a problem with Compaqs handeling of hard drives. A droped or mechanicaly shocked drive will often fail later with "The Clunk of Death". A common senario is for the drive to be placed on end for labeling and software loading. If the drive is then knock over, the resulting force is especialy damaging ( as apposed to forces resulting from a straight "flat drop"). This type of damage will usualy result in a latent failure.
Your an idiot. If you bothered to do even the shallowest research you would know you are compleatly wrong. So let me clearify... A) Early hardware dictated what could be coded. B) Managment constrained system costs. C) Corporate hierarchies refused to pay for updating systems that "worked".
