I can prove I exist, but I can not prove what I am.
There was no proof that Jesus was the son of God. There is no proof that there is a God. There is no proof that the Bible is the word of said unproven God.
The Bible, and the idea of God, was a way for the few in power to remain in power. It was a convenient way to herd a bunch of illiterates into believing what they were told, and to act in a certain manner, or else they would suffer eternal damnation.
It's all a crock of shit. I am not a sheep, I am a free thinking individual whom does not need a shepherd. Religion is becoming more irrelevant every passing day. Funny how as the level of education goes up, the level of religious "faith" goes down.
What is really interesting, that you point out in a way, is that the Bible is supposed to be generally accepted as the word of God. How can it? At best it might be "my friends cousins sisters mother-in-laws great-aunts next door neighbors" version of the word of God. This controversy surrounding the Bible is why I can not accept it as "proof" of anything in relation to the existance of God or Jesus etc. And yes, I prefer "proof" to "faith."
Attention
In accordance with the Microsoft Product Support Lifecycle, no-charge support for Windows 98 will end on July 1, 2003. Paid-only support will continue to be available from Microsoft at $35 per incident. Support will also be available from some third party providers.
Microsoft will also continue to offer a variety of self-help resources on the Product Support Services Web site until at least January 16, 2006, two years after phone support for Windows 98 ends on January 16, 2004. These resources include the Microsoft Knowledge Base and Newsgroups.
I guess that is why our IT Department doesn't want to update the desktops beyond Windows 98. "Hackers target the newest OS" is what he said. Apparently system stability is not a high concern:(
Human style translation is nice. Machines are starting to be programmed to tackle problems like normal people do, not just like programmers do. About time.
Poster I replied to was talking about someone giving a gun to someone else and that someone else killed a 3rd party. Sounds like negligent homicide to me.

You missed something. This is section 4 sub section b of their Terms of Use.
30 days or 24 hrs from start of first viewing, whichever happens first.
If the sub is moving, their is a layer of compressed water on one side, and a layer of slightly less compressed water on the other side (kind of like how radar sees a moving volume). Not to mention any bubbles generated by the spinning prop(s) out back decreasing the density of the water significantly. Question is; can we detect it fast enough to matter? Knowing where a sub was 30min ago is useless.
IIRC, magnetic harmony has already been reached between sub and ocean. I think that was something they did back in the 50's or 60's. Not 100% on that though...
Regardless of their nature... they got nailed by virus (Outlook based) a while back... they are a little over zealous about it now. Which is fine. Just adds a little bloat:(
I agree, but the poster of the article made the comparison, so I commented on it.
I am old school I guess... I have a cell phone I like (v.60), a mp3 player I like (refurb iPod 10GB) and a laptop. No PDA for me (newest I ever used was a Palm V).
If there is ever a practical PDA / cell phone combo, then I might go for it. But I think that device is 2 or 3 generations away still.
I'll go back to considering the possibility of using Microsoft profucts when I haven't heard a single security problem for... a year.
What OS can give you that now? None that have anything installed, or communicate on a network of some sort. All machines are vulnerable. I would have figured that a user ID as low as yours would imply something... apparently not.
You are forgetting a few levels of markup. Made in Taiwan, sold to US importer at 20% margin. Importer sells to distributor for 15-25% margin _after_ paying for freight. Distributor sells to retailer for 20-40% margin. Retailer sells to us for 20-50% margin. You end up looking at $75-$85 cost to the consumer.
4% of $4,000,000,000 is $160,000,000. That is over $40,000,000 per quarter. Profits were less than 1/2 of that. When profits are higher than the interest earned from the cash pool, then we have something interesting.
I'm sure they are a bit embarrassed with Finding Nemo (5/30 release) handing them their lunch to the tune of $18,000,000 after being in theaters for 2 fewer weeks (MR 5/15 release).
The MP3s from CD are of a higher audio quality than the original vinyl, so you are not getting substantially the same product when you download them, but rather a superior one.
Most purists would argue that vinyl contains more than the cd. And we all know that.mp3 is a lossy format (information is lost from the original cd).
The biggest lie with this entire RIAA fiasco is that.mp3 files are perfect digital copies of cd's. That is horseshit.

SYSTEMS AFFECTED: Computers using the following operating systems:
Microsoft Windows NT 4.0
Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Terminal Services Edition
Microsoft Windows 2000
Microsoft Windows XP
Microsoft Windows Server 2003
And Windows 98 is still actively being supported.
I guess that is why our IT Department doesn't want to update the desktops beyond Windows 98. "Hackers target the newest OS" is what he said. Apparently system stability is not a high concern :(
And in other news; $500 million mission scrapped due to 4 broken spokes costing approxiamately 50 cents each.

False. You can compress a liquid, just not much. Think physics... there is space between the molecules (how else would they move).

Sub launches are detected by traditional means; optical satellites, or men/women on the ground in the area.
2 days means nothing in a world full of ICBM's tipped with multiple nuclear warheads.

criminal negligence could be argued rather easily in this circumstance.

9.0b has been available since Wednesday 7/23, that I know of. That is when I had to manually update the dozen or so machines in my office.
T2 - 320*320
Treo 600 - 160*160
That alones makes a big difference in who wants which one.

$4billion cash reserve that makes nice interest as it sits in the bank.
I am sure Eugenia at OSnews could write it for you. Of course, she would evangelize BeOS instead...
The Matrix Reloaded was supposed to be "the movie" of the year, Finding Nemo was not.
Regardless of rating (a factor, but not as big as you think), Nemo has the staying power that Reloaded does not.
As for ratings... I see _almost_ as many kids in R Rated movies as I do G movies. "Parenting" is a very loose term nowadays.
I'm sure they are a bit embarrassed with Finding Nemo (5/30 release) handing them their lunch to the tune of $18,000,000 after being in theaters for 2 fewer weeks (MR 5/15 release).

The presence of the old "bug" logo warms the cockles of my heart, even if the desktop Tezro looks much like a subwoofer
What is a computer supposed to look like, and why?
I thought the Tezro was kind of nifty looking, other than its Nintendo Purple color scheme.
