>> The reason religious organizations are not taxed is because of 1st ammendment issues
Correction. Religious organizations are not taxed *in spite of* First Amendment issues. As it stands, the U.S. govt is in the business of deciding what is or isn't a religion and then extending special privileges to those organizations it deems to be a religion.
Actually, the article said, "For now, the site will remain up for those who still care to visit." This is apparently misinformation.
"I've finally managed to locate a site where I can move my work to, in order to cut any remaining ties with VA Linux Systems." He doesn't say where or when it will be available.
"The work will remain publically available elsewhere, but no further additions will be made to the collection." Again, no indication where it will be available.
I have to agree with the original poster's assessment. As written, this is a poor article.
Nah, transporters tunnel your original particles to the destination. It's in the ST:TNG Tech Manual.
Personally, I don't see the "crucial difference" between "move" and "copy and delete" as long as the copy is an exact copy and as long as the delete doesn't fail (that could lead to ethical/legal difficulties). I tend to think of my personality in terms of software -- a program is the same regardless if it's running on my desktop computer or my laptop computer.
:: It is indeed an old argument. Good arguments live forever and crappy ones die out.
Go spend a few months on alt.atheism or talk.origins and you'll see just how wrong you are. The crappiest arguments are not only the longest-lived, they're also the ones most often cited.

Actually, two-thirds of the world's population does not buy into Xianity. Also, Islam is the fastest-growing religion these days.
I won't even go into your erroneous belief that history backs up the Bible.
So you're Muslim?
Maybe he meant "Kostnered".
::blinks, sighs:: Someone please moderate me down.
I should catch the news more often. I hadn't heard that Christians have stopped dying.
Unless they kill the wrong one, kinda like that Simpsons Halloween episode where Bart finds his twin locked in the attic. Oopsie!
Watching you try to compensate for your inferiority complex is hilarious. Thanks for the laugh.
Hmm, that sounds familiar.

Ah, that's right. I've got a root canal scheduled at 2:00.
Oh, and SW:TPM opens, too.
My boss is never gonna believe that I'm leaving early for a root canal. [sigh] Assuming he's at work, that is. [g]
The William Gates Memorial Center.
Well, he'll die *eventually*. Why wait until the last minute?
:: What in HELL has Gates done that is so brilliant?
A backup unit for the MS Borg Queen *must* be available.
Obviously not.
== Man, this thread got distasteful... yuk...
No kidding. Vanilla Coke? Bleh.

Besides, standard usage indicates that book and magazine titles should be italicized when possible.

If it makes you feel any better, it's been bumped up to 2 in the last hour or so.
>> But "everyone is using it, so it must be an industry standard" makes nothing but sense -- it's practically the definition of "industry standard".
I think that's when it becomes a "de facto standard". Which is exactly what Office is.

No serious professional uses Linux. Sure, a bunch of dorky students in LUGS install it, but they dont matter.
Serious, professional, users choose NT. The use it because its better than anything else.

I hope you can see now why your "argument" is pretty worthless.
Hey, this guy not only has the romantic sensibilities of a brick, he also tried to use "nerdy" as an insult on Slashdot! LOL!
Better a "luser" than a flaming jerk. Try developing a social skill or two.
