I moved back to vinyl. I haven't bought an audio CD in years. Records in great shape can be had for $10-$15. Copy it to a CD, put the record in storage.
Granted, this requires that you don't want anything made in the last two decades, but thats fine with me.
Not using a condom is perhaps the best ways to get an STD.
This does _not_ mean that using a condom is the best way to not get an STD.
If the church believes that using a condom is a sin, it cannot morally condone the use of condoms. If the church believes that it has an obligation to try to help people avoid sin, then it should tell people that condom use is a sin. The church is in the business of saving souls, not making life easy and long.
I fail to see how abortion relates. People not getting abortions does not lead, directoy or indirectly, to thousands of people dying of anything.
The Church in Africa tells people not to have sex. The people don't listen.
The Church in Africa tells people not to use condoms. People don't use condoms. Do you really think it is because the church told them not to? If they were not doing what the church told them not to, they wouldn't be having sex in the first place.
And everybody blames the church for AIDS in Africa.
Sorry people, you can't blame the church. The problem is that people can't keep it in their pants. Blame those who are sleeping with people they aren't married to.
Church + pastor + organist: $200 Food for 100: $1000 Cake: made by my mother: free Shoes for myself and my groomsmen: $400 Material for dress (to be made by her): $100 photography: $1400 rehearsal dinner food (to be made by friends): $50 paying a women's group at the church to help out: $100 wine: none, church won't allow it. some hokey gifts for people: $200 wedding bands: $200 total: $3650 that leaves $1349.99 for a band to stay under 5k.
oh yeah: getting a '75 beetle up and running for the getaway car: $300 and counting.
This would really piss me off. Take MS Office for example: they latest icons are brilliant. The simple letter-based monochromatic logo for each application over a light indication as to the function of the document aids to quickly identify and distinguish and upon further investigation, gives more clues about the program. To replace that with a picture of the page, with text that I won't be able to read anyway, will be completely useless.
Of course, I use detail view for everything anyways. . .
Just to get this straight (Correct me if I'm wrong):
Throw bits at a server and see what you get back: good. Save known data to a proprietary format and see what you get: good. Emulate programs by writing code to get the same result: good.
Taking somebody else's binary and figuring out the code from that: bad.
Is only the latter case considered "reverse engineering" ?
Its not the red states. Its not the blue states. Its the voters. No real policitcal (or moral) conservative should vote for Bush. I can't understand for the life of my why many of my Christian friends (I am also Christian) think Bush is "God's tool" instead of a lying, dim-witted politician with frail graps on economics, foreign policy, and reality as a whole. Nor can I understand why any liberal would vote for a man with no clear plan to change what the liberals (I used to be a liberal. Then I had to get a job. I sympathize with many of their beliefs, but don't think its the government's job to carry these things out at my expense.) think is wrong, but who's most solid point is that he's Not Bush.

What happened to using language to explain the state of your mind? Is humanity throwing out the significant advancement of expressing thought with an abstracted language?
You can have information go faster than the speed of light. Your electrons don't move very far. They just bump into the next one, which bumps into the next one. Imagine this: you've got a 1 light year long pole. You shoot a photon/wave of light parallel to the pole. It hits then end in 1 year. I push on the end of my pole. The end 1 light year away moves almost immediately (small lag for compression of the material). I just transferred information faster than you did. Electrons have a longer lag than a metal pole will, but not enough to slow it down past light speed.
When I set up windows machines for friends: 1. Cygwin 2. VNC server 3. Bash script for cygwin to SSH tunnel to my machine so I can access VNC server. 4. Gaim (so I can chat while waiting for #5 to download) 5. OpenOffice.org 6. Firefox 7. Flash plugin 8. SpyBot 9. Winamp (version 2) 10. Realplayer (free version 8)
Speedometers are diliberately designed to read high, and increasingly higher at higher speeds. That way, if it gets a bit off, you can't go back to the manufacturer and complain that it was reading low when you got a ticket.
The mid-late 80s BMWs (or at least the 3 series) have a significant occurance of out of balance driveshafts. The whole car vibrates through a few speed ranges (i.e. mine vibrates between 18-20 and 26-28mph) and rips the carrier bushing apart.
You could take you chances getting a used one from a junkyard, replacing it yourself, and hoping its better balanced than your old one (what I plan to do). and keep the price down. The only problem is that nearly all the E30s (mid-late 80's 3 series) are still running - hard to find in junkyards.
Please correct me if I am wrong, but aren't Windows APIs something that you use when writing code to run on Windows? (And something you copy to make code written for Windows run elsewhere.) Won't this affect Wine, but not Samba?
People are diliberately confusing 'codes' and 'code'. Mechanics need the _codes_ that the computer spits out indicating what is wrong. Nobody needs the _code_ for the computer software.
As for the whole complaint about the recent complexity of cars; it is government mandated and consumer demanded. There are requirements for fuel efficiency and emissions. A simple 4 stroke engine can only be so effecient and so clean. To meet regulations, cars need to incorporate exhaust gas recirculation, variable cam timing, complex variable spark timing, catylitic converters, and a host of other complexities. Consumers want climate control, adaptive suspension, 17 way power adjustable seats, power cupholders, remote buttons for everything, heated everything, and performance, but they expect their cars to have the simplicity of an air cooled VW?

I create free software to:
( ) Stick it to the man.
( ) Promote my ideologies.
( ) Solve a problem.
( ) Enjoy myself.
( ) Enjoy CowboyNeal.
I suspect 3 and 4 are the top choices. RMS seems to think 2.
I'm planning one now. Here's what I'm looking at:
Church + pastor + organist: $200
Food for 100: $1000
Cake: made by my mother: free
Shoes for myself and my groomsmen: $400
Material for dress (to be made by her): $100
photography: $1400
rehearsal dinner food (to be made by friends): $50
paying a women's group at the church to help out: $100
wine: none, church won't allow it.
some hokey gifts for people: $200
wedding bands: $200
total: $3650
that leaves $1349.99 for a band to stay under 5k.

Your speedometer easily reads 100mph. You're off by 10mph by that point.
