I'm confused. Is one of the 10 Commandments "Thou shalt not kill... unless they did something bad, or you don't like their religion, or they're invading your country"? Or perhaps "Thou shalt not kill, unless you have a good reason"?
Christians are supposed to love their enemies, and do good to those who harm them.
Yeah, at least if you're an excessively naive and suicidal Christian.
Um, as I recall Jesus said to "turn the other cheek". It sounds like you're saying that following the teachings of Jesus is not a prerequisite for being a Christian. It seems you may be right, as the majority of people who call themselves Christian don't follow his teachings. However, many of these self-described Christians see this as a failing of themselves (i.e. they are unsuccessfully trying to follow the teachings of Christ), not as the proper way to be a Christian (i.e. feel that the proper way to be a Christian is to not follow the teachings of Christ).
I think that's the best book out there. Just make sure you get the most recent edition. I had the 1st or second edition, which covered pre-Solaris SunOS, BSD 4.x on a Vax, and System V on an AT&T 3B-whatever. Their more recent editions include Linux, Solaris, and probably others (FreeBSD? AIX?).
I have one of the Smilodon cases on that page (bought from a dealer). Very solid and good looking too. The fold-down motherboard tray is particularly nice. And hard-disk-clips for easy installation/removal (not the nicest clips I've seen, but certainly usable).
I would point you to this page which shows a number of fossils which show progressively more ape-like creatures (the older the fossil, the more ape-like). No modern-type human fossils have been found with similar ages, nor any giraffe-like humans, nor penguin-like humans. I'd call that evidence.
Think of it like "natural selection". Someone smart, born in a coal mining town in West Virginia isn't going to stay there. There's no tech sector there, no research labs, no Silicon Valley. So, they move to California, New York, Boston, or even North Carolina's Research Triangle.
Someone who flunked out of high school can either be a janitor in New York city, or a high-school science teacher in East Bumfuck, Arkansas.
To put a personal touch on it, I grew up in WV, but I moved to Baltimore to go to college (and stayed in the Baltimore/DC area ever since).
Where could I get the laptop-specific parts? I've built a number of desktop machines, and know where to get those parts. I've even found RAM and HD for laptops (as those are common upgrades). But the case and display? "motherboard"?
The US not reducing its emissions will do nothing to get those other countries to reduce theirs. It simply means that there will be more emissions than if we did something about our own. We should be reducing our own emissions while simultaneously providing incentives for developing countries to reduce theirs (clean energy subsidies, fewer import duties on products produced with environmentally friendly methods, etc.).
This common refrain ("we won't reduce ours until they do so, too") is like two school-children arguing: "You first!" "Nu-uh, you first!"
I noticed that, which immediately brought to my mind the question:
Are those "billions" English billions (a million million, or 10^12) or American billions (a thousand million, or 10^9)? So, is an attosecond 10^-24 seconds, or 10^-18 seconds?
There is a "maybe not quite there yet, but usable for simple tasks" Visio-like program called Dia. I've been trying it, earlier versions weren't usable, but the version that comes with Fedora Core 4 is pretty good. I expect good things from it in the future.
Well, if no-one recommends a good title, maybe I should work on one. I think it's actually pretty simple. I can give you the highest level outline in two sentences:
The BIOS (also called "boot prom" on some systems like Suns) loads a bootloader (one of GRUB, LILO, SILO, etc.) which loads the kernel which runs a special program called init. Depending on the flavor of Unix (System V vs BSD types), it either reads/etc/inittab and executes scripts found in there, or starts executing the script/etc/rc.
So, once you can read shell scripts, you can follow the whole chain of system startup from there. Some examples of the System V influenced Unixes are Solaris, and most distributions of Linux. BSD types include Free/Net/Open BSDs and old SunOS (before it was called Solaris).
There's a concept called "run levels" which you'll need to understand (basically tells the system whether it's booting up to full multiuser mode, shutting down, running single-user system maintenance mode, whether or not to automatically start the graphical user login - as opposed to text mode login). init controls the system as it goes from one "run level" to another, executing the scripts that start or stop system daemons ("services" in Windows terms). Running the command "man init" will give you the details of how init works on your particular system.
If I do work this up into a fuller description, I'll post a link in my journal, so check there in a few days.
Select the 4-hour or 24-hour time periods, and you'll see the average latency is still in the yellow, so clearly there was a problem, but it's gotten better.
Well, technically, since you can run a shell inside an Emacs window, you don't even need the xterm. In fact, at one job many years ago, I had a VT-100 terminal on my desk, and used emacs to get multiple shell "windows" at once.:-) In practice, now that we have command line editing via tcsh, I do prefer a plain old xterm for command line stuff.
Actually it wasn't until Solaris 2.0 that the switch to the SVR5 based SunOS 5.0.
The name Solaris wasn't invented until Solaris 2.0 was release. SunOS 4.x was retroactively named Solaris 1.x.
Solaris is the name for the bundle of SunOS and the windowing system (origionally OpenWindows).
And SunOS 4.x could run the non-X11 based SunView, or X11R4 (or was it X11R5?). You must be one of them young whippersnappers.:-) I did programming on Suns from '89 to '95. Ever use a Sun with a 68020 (not Sparc) CPU?

I suspect the word intended was "perplexing".

Hmmm... I wonder if anyone has won just such a Nobel Prize recently.
I agree that if the Scouts didn't discriminate, they would be a good organization (for the reasons you state). However, they have explicitly removed scout leaders due to homosexuality.
Start converting kudzu (an invasive plant species... well, invasive in the US anyway) to fuel, and kill two birds with one stone.

Sure you're not thinking of this document?

Wow... Does it make me old if I know what that stands for? And what's more, that I've been to an Iron Maiden concert within the last few years?

Presumably Slashdot is using that "notoriously inaccurate" carbon dating for the timerstamps on posts. :-)
