    Right, back in 2000 it was simply privacy violations and incompatibility issues, with IE.

    For myself and quite a few people, it could become the best on the planet and it still won't be used simply on the fact of it's historical dickishness. There's no positive, why go into a quagmire?

    Always better to admire innovation instead of excuses for why something doesn't work the way it's expected.

    Funny, I'm aghast at requiring everything to be downloaded and rendered before it's displayed. That gives the illusion of nothing being done, and subtly irks me.

    But isn't God omniscient? Doesn't that mean that he knew a head of time that they would eat the fruit? Knowing the outcome of a test makes it not very much a test at all. In fact, punishing someone for failing a test which you created knowing they would fail is bordering on sadistic.

    I said this one day to my parents coming home from church.
    I was told not to question god, because he is all-knowing.

    Jesus, this entire thread is like one of those campfires where you hand the stick to the next person to make the story that is being told just that much more imaginative.

    To play this little game I'll post what is in Genesis 9:3-4 from the King James Version:

    "Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things. But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat."

    In other words, kill it first so it doesn't have life.

    All that aside, this book was written by people.

    Clearly, you fail to understand that all christian scriptures are both metaphor and pure fact.
    Whichever way is wished to be swayed is the direction it will take. In other words, intentionally vague.

  16. Re:I beg to differ. on Hotmail's Spam Filter: The Best In the Business? · · Score: 1

    Kinda reminds me of when I started working at the contracting company I do right now. During my paperwork process, they asked for an email account for "verification purposes" and to get things to me in the future if necessary. I figure, whatever, so I gave them my primary email account which happens to be gmail. They looked at me like I gave them some abcd@pr0n.com or something and said they couldn't accept that because too many spammers use that. I had to laugh, just told them if they can't accept that then they can postal mail whatever to me because it's what I use.
    Would you believe they actually had 2 people around me at the time (small room) and both were saying I need to open a hotmail account so "we know it's legitimate". I was ready to walk out of the room... basically stood up for myself and told them if they want to email me do so, otherwise postal mail but no internet mail is legitimate since I could spoof their address going to anyone on the net and make them look like the sender. It shut up real quick... and I was going in for a Unix position...

    As much as your probably joking (I sure as shit hope so) I think I've gotten one or maybe two false positives in the spam folder in the last 7 years on my gmail account. On the opposite side, I've gotten about the same amount false negatives.
