You'll definetly need "God" to provide you with the gift of understanding, to understand all the contradictions. Shall I illustrate?:
John the Baptist is Elias Matthew 11:14 John the Baptist isn't Elias John 1:21
Two and twenty years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign. 2 Kings 8:26 Forty and two years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign. 2 Chronicles 22:2
God is heard Exodus 33:11 God is not heard John 5:37 (never heard)
God rested Genesis 2:2, Exodus 20:11 & 31:17, Hebrews 4:4 God never rests Isaiah 40:28
Jesus dies at the 6th hour John 19:14-30, Luke 23:44-46 Jesus dies at the 9th hour Matthew 27:46-50, Mark 15:25-37
David's throne was forever Psalms 89:34-37 David's throne was not forever Psalms 89:44
Do I need to continue?
Let me ask you this. Could the Bible seriously be the work of a God reputed to have created the entire universe? Is the writing quality, relevance, accuracy and consistency anywhere near up to the omniscience you would expect from God? He created all the billions upon billions of protons in the universe absolutely identical. Not a one has ever been found off weight even in the tenth decimal place. How could that creator of the universe have also authored something so bungling as the Bible that can't go four pages without contradicting itself?
the 50 people wanting to lynch that person...i will give them the person. I, nor any of my houseguests, are going to suffer because of one person. no matter the cause.
Jesus christ!! I feel sorry for anyone you know since you'd be so entirely willing to toss them for a mob to hang, so long as it doesn't cause you to go out of your merry fucking way. Are you an animal, or a member of society? Perhaps neither: you're just a coward with absolutely no principles to stand up for what is right. You should hang your head in shame, for you're a disgrace to all of mankind.
I say if the webmaster of a site has morals and good principles, along with a stable reader base, he should implement PNGs along with an informative message (for those who might have issues with their old browser), and take a stand this way JUST for the righteousness of it. The people whose browsers don't support GIFs will be alerted to the issue and allowed to upgrade to superior browser, UniDick will be denied extortion money, and the whole web will have gained increased PNG supporters.
Fuck 'em, and do it anyways. Don't even bother with the threat, they've already FAR surpassed the threshold for consideration. I don't even have a DVD-R drive but I would purchase some of these media if it would help to get under the MPAA/DVDCCA's skin.
He may be good at some things but he's got quite a few personal areas that leave a lot to be desired. How about his advocating theft? He says in the interview that people who wrote non-free software "don't deserve to get paid" and implies that you should freely pirate their goods. Richard Stallman strongly reminds me of some crazed religious lunatics who absolutely will not listen to reason when you explain that Noah could not possibly have fit all the animal species in the world on his ark (or some other bogus religious thing). I am talking about the same type of lunatics who kill people because they think "God" told them to do it in order to spread the righteousness of their respective religion or cult (what's the difference?).
People like that are entirely useless, with their one track minds. He apparently thinks he's a god's gift to mankind.
Got a reply? Email a copy of that baby right here: tookycat@nconnect.net (also post it to this board too, though)
I have long been saying he's a very arrogant, rude person. Not only does he repeatedly treat potential and existing customers as imbeciles but he also claims to have created shareware (wasn't it Jim Button in reality?) AND actually claims he got id Software started in business. He also claims his long forgotten, overdelayed Duke4 game is the "most requested" game by all the game news sites. Clearly the man has serious issues.
YES YES YES!!! I daydream often of starting my own mini nation on an island (or flotation as you've said), to avoid the laws. The only thing I can think of are problems with protecting ourselves, but I'm not sure how much attack we'd be subjected to. At any rate, having entirely extra-national servers would be very useful!! Anyone have contacts with visionaries with a lot of money? Drop me a line: tookycat@nconnect.net
I have two intelligent comments on this discussion that I've gleamed from NANAE, where this issue has been discussed over my "Ultimate HOSTS File of All Time":
- The internet is not a cornucopia of advertising revenue.
- Advertisers: An expectation of revenue on your part in no way constitutes an obligation on my part.
The points I want to reinforce most are the fact that 9x is not supposed to be "secure" and that the proper way to use Microsoft products securely is to use NT in a restricted non-root user mode (just like UNIX) and the damage would be minimal. What type of DIPSHIT would have their important image files on an "Everyone" read-write shared drive?
Why not just fire the DIPSHITS that executed script attachments from a poorly written email proclaiming it loves them? Take out the problem right at the source...
Yeah, he could have used GPL instead and then not even been able to afford the booze to kill himself with in the first place. Or isn't that what you meant?
Jesus christ! How many fucking chances does a guy get? By your own admission he drank and drove and disobeyed the law and didn't appear for his hearing. "Maybe he was a great guy"? Maybe I'm the easter bunny too. You gotta stop learning to give people so much or they'll walk all over you, man.
Shit, John's average post is probably a +5 but here he's posting at +2 by default. I'm surprised it hasn't raised itself. Everyone enjoys hearing the man speak, his posts ought to be gold plated or something:-)
Jeez, you guys are total fools to pay this much for HDs. Unless you REALLY need all that space, all that fast, you can get a 34GB 7200 RPM IBM UDMA/66 drive for a little over $300.
It's not worth $800 for a 75GB one that's also IDE (and may only be 5400 RPM). Personally I don't know why they even manufacture drives over oh, say 20GB in size, that AREN'T 7200rpm or higher. How is a drive that large useful when it could take hours to chkdsk/fsck/scandisk? A 40GB drive that's only 5400 RPM is out of balance in it's features.
Yeah, and you'll be the ONLY one of the first group of people who pays for these softwares. These Linux hackers not only don't understand any software that isn't free to begin with, but they likely are the same guys who warezed all the expensive Adobe software when they were Windows users. The main people who pay for that stuff is corporate users and I find it very unlikely that any serious company will be using Linux on their workstations unless they have a very large pool of talent to draw from, where they can afford to be so choosy as to say "Candidates must be familiar with Linux environment rather than Windows".
I hereby declare that ANY company that tries to make money selling software for the Linux platform will go under very swiftly, unless they have a backup plan to circumvent mass pirating of their software among these users. Mark my words. Windows may have a lot of "dumb" users but those "dumb" users have the money. I don't know many back-room open source hackers who have lots of cash on hand...
Who are you trying to fool? There's a slew of errors in your post. I have to wonder who you really work for. Artists who weren't listed in the database? Napster has ALWAYS been far more likely to carry a rare song I'm searching for than ANY other search tool (Scour, Gnutella, etc). When you "finally" found an artist who had some tracks listed, it was only unique tracks? Pure BULLSHIT. Search for any popular artist and EVERY song they have will be out there. When you went to download them, most of the sites were down? Impossible, because Napster only lists online sites. Now I KNOW you're fucking lieing.
And your last line is a giveaway, suggesting SO CONVENIENTLY that I "just buy the CDs" I want to hear. Too bad only half the stuff I want is availble easily on CD, eh?
Are you kidding me? She requires big breasts! That's the whole draw of Tomb Raider - perfect breasts so good that they probably couldn't exist in reality. But we geeks can dream.
Let's face it, girls don't spend their money on games and cool stuff, they buy clothes and shoes and this boring shit instead. So the money for games comes from horny guys and it makes sense to cater to them. Women are NOT known for their love of technical issues; and as such I dont think there are man women Slashdot readers.
Maybe women DON'T like computers because they operate like a machine, much like men do. They don't say the opposite of what they mean or play other mind tricks like women prefer to. That's likely also the reason men prefer computers (except for sex obviously).
Preach it, brother! Same goes for ones with odd piercings, it only shows that Daddy didn't give enough attention and that virtually ALWAYS leads to bad things.
FAT32 was only included in NT5 for compatibility (and I'm thankful for that). But NT has always been centered around NTFS which is built to last. It has per file security and transaction logging and file compression among other things. Plus it can go up to like 2TB in size. I highly doubt Linux can overcome any FAT32 limitations that NT can't, so I don't see what you're spouting off about.

What is this, Russia?
I have posted a detailed How To Guide for fixing the Guitar Hero World Tour Drum Kit sensitivity problems. For example my Red Pad took a very hard hit to register consistently, and my Orange cymbal was similar.
My guide features high quality photos and videos demonstrating before and after response of the drums.
The official solution is to do a support request and get the USB MIDI cable shipped to you. But my fix will have you drumming TODAY.

Might want to check your keyboard. Seems every place you type an S, a Z comes out instead. Or are you just a 13 year old fuckface?

Sue Unisys for inventing GIF; how amusing and ironic!!!
Don't you mean the Backdoor Boys? ;-)
And I agree they are stupid to sign away all their rights on their songs.
