heck, even IE since it was based on Netscape, but it just shows a blue screen
Internet Exploder was not based upon Netscape, but it was based upon the Mosaic Web Browser.
Here's what it says in the "About Internet Explorer" dialog
Based on NCSA Mosaic. NCSA Mosaic(TM); was developed at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
They got the term for the Open source project Mozilla from Netscape's Original code name which is a contraction of Mosaic + Godzilla (i.e. Mosaic killer), and was coined by Jamie Zawinski (jwz) when Netscape's primary competition was Spyglass Mosaic.">
In other words, Mozilla/Netscape and Mosaic/Internet Explorer are not based on one another, they have nothing to do with one another except they're competing web browsers.
Most of the religious justification for hating gays comes from Leviticus, but damn few people ever read the whole text. The people who wrote it were freaking nuts. It's like a read from Rev. Moon's writings -- control for its own sake. Superstition and common sense mixed together with a massive dash of fanaticism.
Tell me, where in the bible does it say to hate people that are homosexual?
Yes, in Leviticus, it talks against homosexuality. If it were only in the old testament, then it most likely wouldn't apply today because it would be considered under the Mosaic law of which Jesus was the ultimate sacrifice that we don't have to live under it anymore.
But, homosexuality is mentioned in 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 Which is
"9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God."
also in 1 Corinthians
7:2 Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
and again in Romans 1:24-28 which is
"24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. 26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet. 28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
But, I have to agree about the religious right"Which in my opinion are the modern day pharisees.", they often quote these scriptures as well as Leviticus, but fail to recognize the scripture after Romans 1:28. Quite a few of these so called "Christians", when I say so called, I mean that they claim they're Christian, but turn around and back-bite, gossip, judge, etc and what Romans 1:29-32 says
"29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them."
Back to judgmental behaviour, Jesus himself said "Judge not, lest ye be judged.". And Christians are supposed to have a forgiving attitude. Jesus himself said in Matthew 18:21
21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? 22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
That means a Christian must forgive someone if wrong was done to the Christian, or if Joe Schmoe decides to try to kill me, but fails, I really have no choice but to forgive him, to do otherwise would be saying that I'm better than Jesus
To summarize what I have just said, no Christian is allowed to be hateful to anyone. To do otherwise would be going against the Christian teachings, which is to have a "Christ-Like Walk"
There was such a monster 57 years ago, except it was called a Direct Dial radiotelephone, invented by Ramsey McDonald of Richmond, Indiana. Richmond Residents went wireless long before the rest of the country thanks to the Two-Way direct-dial mobile radiotelephone service. His first patent was granted in 1955.
To call from the radiotelephone, the user dialed 9 first and then the landline number. Callers to the radiotelephones dialed a specific number that included a digit designated for the individual radiotelephone. A bell or buzzer would signal the incoming call, as well as a call light. If the recipient was not in their vehicle to take the call, the call light remained on to indicate a missed call.
A simple solution to this problem is just quit watching the brain rotting device known as TeleVision. A few alternatives to television would be read a few good books, become an active member of the community, go to a theatre to watch a play once in a while, go to a concert.
The money that is saved by getting rid of cable/satellite could be put into a 401K (assuming the person works for a company that has a 401K plan), donate to a charity of your choice, a few gifts for that special someone, etc.
I have not had cable for almost a year now, and I don't miss it one bit.
Don't unions collectively bargain for pay rates? Doesn't that ensure that every employee at a position category will receive the same pay no matter how well/poorly they perform? This doesn't exactly encourage people to put forth their best effort.
Unions are to protect the employees from getting shafted. In a non-union shop, someone could be the hardest working employees, completely outgoing, but doesn't get any pay raises because they're not the "Favorite" of the manager/foreman.
Unions protect the employees by making employee termination much more difficult to the employer. While the advantages are probably pretty obvious, this puts additional burden on the employer to build a case against an employee for termination if the employee truly deserves termination? In extreme cases, this could lead the employer to additional risk if the employee is endangering people or projects.
Actually, what a union is supposed to do is to make sure that the employer has a good reason to terminate an employee, without being unionized, an employer can terminate someone for no reason at all.
Unions typically prohibit companies from hiring non-union employees. If you as a software programmer want to work for company X, you can only do so by joining the union, even if you don't want to. Union's will look at any attempts to hire a non-union employee as "stealing a job" from a union worker.
That is called a "Closed Shop", of which the Taft-Hartley Act of 1947 has made illegal.
Unions see overtime as potential for another worker rather than an opportunity for current union members to pick up additional income. (This is the case with my father, a plumber, who made more money as a non-union plumber due to being able to work overtime. When his shop was unionized, his annual income went from about $54K to $32K. Sure, he didn't have to work any overtime, but now he can't possibly make enough money to maintain his lifestyle. As pointed out above, he can't potentially make any more money due to the union setting the rate.)
That's funny, I have a sister that works in a union shop and has all kinds of opportunity to get overtime if she wishes. where she works, if someone misses 1 day because of something, they are not only docked 1 day's pay and possibly losing overtime, they also have a few points knocked against them. Once they get so many points against them "Which it takes 6 months from the time of occurrence to expire", They will get some sort of disciplinary action against them at first, then if it continues, they are eventually terminated.
I admit, some unions do go too far and price the jobs so high that the company has to either move the jobs south of the border, lay a few people off, or go out of business. That's an example of when unions go too far, and there are even some unions that all they do is bow down to their "corporate masters" and are as worthless as a billion pesos in England.
This would be the proper way to protest the RIAA. If everyone did this, they would see their profits fall and at the same time, see that file swapping is way down, then they would have no choice but to confirm that they're really the ones to blame for the decreased sales. The biggest challenge is trying to get people that love the "Cookie Cutter Boy/Girl Bands" to switch over.
Most of my music is from music that I own, like analogue sources "8-Track, Vinyl, cassette" and CDs that I bought between 1993 and 2000, MOD files, MIDI files, mp3.com, and dmusic.com. Some music I have is from napster & kazaa, most of which is no longer produced.
Of course, the RIAA believes that copying from analogue sources should be illegal. So if Steve Balmer goes by the RIAA's definition of theft, then I guess I'm a "thief" then.
Ther are E-Voting Machines other than Diebold. Here in Wayne County, Indiana, we are going to be using the iVotronic Machines which has full color capabilities and displays ballots, pictures, and multiple languages. Not to mention that it's fully ADA compliant, it has a headphone to insure total privacy when voting, as well as having Braille on the machine that will allow the blind to vote anonymously. As far as I know, there are no major problems with the iVotronic machines.
The Libertarian party is, at least the way they portray themselves, definitely without a heart, anyone take a look at lp.org or any page on it and mostly what it talks about is abolish this or privatize that. The other pages attack the poor, the weak, and the saints, namely Mother Teresa, because she was "poor", but probably did more good than Princess Di.
The way the Libertarian Party talks about the poor make me sick, they blame the poor and the weak for every problem in this country and the other political party and even the private charities for giving to the poor and the weak. they have even called the poor and the weak "worthless" because of it.
Their solution? Natural Selection, of course, and let the poor and the weak, or as they call it, the "worthless" die off. This is after they have said that "We are not a party of survival of the fittest, but rather of survival of the kindest". Yet they want the people to not give to charities to help others? On top of that any libertarians complain that they don't have many follower, then they blame it on people "buying" into the two party system. Why would I want to vote for a party that calls people "worthless", isn't that being judgmental? The problem is here in the state of Indiana is that it's the 2 major parties have their candidates Bush and Kerry, then the Socialist Candidate, don't know his/her name, then the Libertarian Candidate, don't know his/her name, but yet the one candidate that I would support, but not on the ballet is Ralph Nader, he's better known than the LP candidate, and yet the LP candidate is on, but not Nader. I wonder why that is.
They even lie about Affirmative Action laws. All Affirmative Action laws do is tell the employer to interview as many "minorities" as possible, the reason for quotas are actually the choice for employers, it is not required by law to have quotas. Heck, Affirmative Action doesn't even mention "quotas" so there's nothing to be enforced, but, the libertarian party claims that quota's are mandatory and enforced.
The Libertarian Party wonders why they have an image problem? The answer is all over their own web site.
With minimum wage, I agree that too high of a level will hurt the employees and the customers as the cost of goods and services would be much higher to compensate for the losses, but put it too low or not have a minimum wage, then the employer can, and most likely will, have the wages very low, and maybe too low. coupled with the libertarian party's view on immigration that it should be allowed no matter what, and the fact that there would be no social services, it would be a market favorable to the employer. That would cause the wages to go down to next to nothing. Do you think they would hire more help because of the lowered wages? Do you think that places like McChoke 'n' Puke would lower their prices of their Big Mac to their customers? the answer to both questions would be NO. Businesses exist to make as much money as possible, when their costs go up and/or their profits go down, they try to cut costs by laying people off and raise their prices, but when their costs go down and/or their profits go up, the prices remain the same and hiring very few people, if any at all. True, someone could go to another job if they aren't being paid enough. But, what happens when all businesses do the same thing and pay next to nothing? I guess it would be that they start their own business. The catch, though, is that it takes money to start a business and a lot of it. If they don't have a house in their possession, they are out of luck. I guess there are private charities then, but, if there are a lot of people out on the street because they can't get a job to support them and private charities
Are you sure they are sending use the distro on cd? All it said is "To order a pressed CD: Fill in your basic shipping data in our CD distribution database. We won't give or sell your information to anyone or use it for anything other than sending you these CDs.".
Maybe what they're sending us is the AOL cds that was donated by No More AOL CDs.;)
You'd think Slashdot would be all over a candidate who can actually write code, but I suppose it's the two party system that's so entrenched that it's even prevelent here. Well, CouldItbe Becausedon'thaveaheart?
The thing I don't understand about the Libertarian Party is that they want to give a dollar for dollar "Tax" credit for people giving to private charities, but yet they want to eliminate ALL taxes. Also in one article they are not for "Survival of the Fittest" but "Survival of the Kindest, then they turn around and Say that if you're not of the fittest, then in their eyes, you're worthless.
Also, I think it's because They SupportNambla, a very sick orginization. Heck I would vote for Bush before I would vote Libertarian.
It's nearly impossible to stop outsourcing, just like it's nearly impossible to stop free-trade. It lowers costs for everyone, so in the end, it's good, but in the meantime, we need to concentrate, not on slowing down outsourcing, but creating structures that'll help people survive to find newer, better jobs (i.e. welfare, education, and research).
If that's true, eventually almost all jobs will be outsourced. The jobs that can't be outsourced like service jobs "They might find a way to outsource those jobs" will be in high demand, but not many positions will be availiable due to the fact that not many people will have the money to get a cheap Frozen Pizza from Wal-Mart let alone a pizza from Pizza Hut. People will not have money for medical expenses so they will not go see a doctor even if they need to, so there won't be any money there. With outsourcing, it's cause and effect.
My point is that if the outsourcing keps increasing at the rate it's going, eventually there will be an economic breakdown in the US, bad enough that we could see another Great Depression. That coupled with the fact the4 National Debt that the Neo-Conservative Republicans are putting this country in. The US will never get out of it.
But to keep that from happening everyone needs to quit supporting the Corporations that does the outsourcing.
The Term "Smell-O-Vision" came before the 50s, it came in the 1944 Bugs Bunny Short "The Old Grey Hare" where An old, wrinkled Fudd picks up a newspaper and it reads "Smell-O-Vision Replaces Television."
JPEG2000 appears to be both patent-unencumbered and a more useful/effective standard
Actually, that statement bay actually be incorrect and may have undeclared and obscure submarine patents involved. That could explain why The GIMP, Mozilla, nor Opera support it.
Actually, Sir Haxalot was talking about The Floptical drive created by 3M & Iomega that could unreliably store 21MB on 1 VHD diskette. It also took 30 Minutes to format, the drive could not read 2.88MB Floppies, and couldn't create a boot floptical disk or boot from a disk in a floptical drive, So it quickly became obsolete.
Actually, you can lose a patent, in the case of the
Victor Talking Machine Co. vs. Starr Piano Co. (1922)
the Second Circuit Court of Appeals held the Victor
patent void for lack of invention and for abandonment.
"Then again, some upstart company may do the same to Phoenix as they did to IBM when they 'made' BIOS:-)"
One Problem with that, the DMCA. If the DMCA would have existed 20 Years ago, IBM would have sued Phoenix & Compaq under the DMCA, and PCs today would still cost over $5000, because IBM would be the only PC manufacturer around. In other words, if someone reverse Engineers the new M$ BIOS, they would have Phoenix & Microsoft suing them under the DMCA.
And of course there's the non-RIAA stuff, see mp3.com.
Uh, one problem with that argument, MP3.COM is NOT "non-RIAA", they are owned by Vivendi-Universal, just like E-Music, if you want to stay away from the RIAA, try dmusic.com.
Or maybe Sony is going to have a handheld game system, called PSP, or Playstation Portable, just look what happened to Nintendo when Sony released the Playstation, once Sony releases theior PSP, that WILL be the final nail in the coffin for nintendo, and then Microsoft or Sony will get whatever is left of Nintendo.
The problems will be that the GBA will STILL use cartridges, use 2D Sprites and proprietary expansion, to where Sony will use 1.8 GB UMD "Universal Media Discs" , 2D Sprites and 3D Rendering, Higher Res Screen, MPEG4 Video"Who knows, there might be a way to watch MPEG4 movies on these things;)", and it will feature USB 2.0.
So, unless Nintendo comes up with a Handheld just as spetacular, Nintendo will no longer exist in a few years. Of course, Sony has another 2 advantages over Nintendo, their size and marketing power.

It also took 30 Minutes to format, the drive could not read 2.88MB Floppies, and couldn't create a boot floptical disk or boot from a disk in a floptical drive, So it quickly became obsolete.
Actually, you can lose a patent, in the case of the
Victor Talking Machine Co. vs. Starr Piano Co. (1922)
the Second Circuit Court of Appeals held the Victor
patent void for lack of invention and for abandonment.
"Then again, some upstart company may do the same to Phoenix as they did to IBM when they 'made' BIOS :-)"
One Problem with that, the DMCA. If the DMCA would have existed 20 Years ago, IBM would have sued Phoenix & Compaq under the DMCA, and PCs today would still cost over $5000, because IBM would be the only PC manufacturer around. In other words, if someone reverse Engineers the new M$ BIOS, they would have Phoenix & Microsoft suing them under the DMCA.
The Satellite also inspred a Song by the same name, Composed by Meek, Performed bt the Tornadoes in 1962.
And of course there's the non-RIAA stuff, see mp3.com.
Uh, one problem with that argument, MP3.COM is NOT "non-RIAA", they are owned by Vivendi-Universal, just like E-Music, if you want to stay away from the RIAA, try dmusic.com.
Or maybe Sony is going to have a handheld game system, called PSP, or Playstation Portable, just look what happened to Nintendo when Sony released the Playstation, once Sony releases theior PSP, that WILL be the final nail in the coffin for nintendo, and then Microsoft or Sony will get whatever is left of Nintendo.
;)", and it will feature USB 2.0.
The problems will be that the GBA will STILL use cartridges, use 2D Sprites and proprietary expansion, to where Sony will use 1.8 GB UMD "Universal Media Discs" , 2D Sprites and 3D Rendering, Higher Res Screen, MPEG4 Video"Who knows, there might be a way to watch MPEG4 movies on these things
So, unless Nintendo comes up with a Handheld just as spetacular, Nintendo will no longer exist in a few years. Of course, Sony has another 2 advantages over Nintendo, their size and marketing power.
Actually, emusic is owned by Vivendi-Univer$al, actually,Try dmusic is definitly RIAA free music.
