..but Christ Himself did not leave that option. As C.S. Lewis wonderfully puts it in "Mere Christianity", Christ was either who He said He was (the incarnate Word of God), a lunatic on the order of someone who calls themselves a poached egg, or a demon from Hell. He did not leave the door open to be classified as a "Good Person" or "Good Moral Teacher".

Good hearted agnostics have one virtue above all others, humility.
[HUMOR]
I'd say, considering that you are calling yourself an ignoramus by claiming that you are "agnostic".
The word agnostic comes from the Greek roots "gnosis", which means knowledge, and "a-", which means without. By claiming that you are an agnostic, you are claiming to be "without knowledge".
The Latin equivalent to the Greek term "agnostic" is "ignoramus".

Can you please tell me how the hell this is a troll? Geezuz, thought people might want to see the current counter and all. Some moderator needs to pull his head deeply from within his ass.
You think they'd go crazy over you adding a Firewire card? Wait 'till you see the apoplexy starting when your Internet usage spikes 500 MB in one day.:)
Amen! I've been waiting for that for a while now! So far, looks like the only option is Chimera (and that's because it doesn't support all the extras yet).
So they're apparently trying to market it to Tom Cruise. Just what the CoS needs - a space shuttle. Hell, maybe they'll all get in it and fly off to find Xenu.:)
Nope.. You're logging in as an admin user - which is perfectly fine IMHO and much safer than running as root.
Sudo lets you run commands as root without actually running your shell or whatnot under root - when the program is finished, so is your root access and you can't foof the system by accidentally doing rm -Rf / or something.
..is a great one. To save costs this year and avoid having to fire anyone, no bonuses are being paid across the board. 401k matching is also temorarily suspended. If the economy grew worse, every person in the company would take 1 day a month off without pay.
It's very nice to work for a company that respects its employees - seems to be rare nowadays.

OS 3.x compatibility is built in to OS4 - as long as a program doesn't "bang the hardware". Most OS 3.x programs designed to run from Workbench do not, and should run just fine on the new Amiga (using a 68k emulator for CPU calls). The kernel is being rewritten to PPC-native, so any system calls will proceed as normal. The only programs that won't run on the new ones are the ones that access the hardware directly (old games, Scala, etc.), but there's an option to connect an Amiga 1200 MB to the new Amiga MB to give those programs direct access to the old hardware.
Not only do you need a credit card when you're selling, but you must now provide bank account information as well. Kind of a pain when you're setting up an account for a corporation to sell off old equipment and their form is only designed for personal users.

I would call them. They've been most helpful when I've had to in the past - although no toll free number.

Well, you know the saying. Repeat something often enough and you'll soon believe it to be true. After all, reality is just in the mind.
