The Bible doesn't actually place the date *anywhere*. English translations might, but the Bible itself doesn't. If you do a bit of research, you notice that the word they translate to "day", is "yom" (of course, that's probably not how it's spelled especially since Hebrew doesn't have any vowels, but it's phonetically correct). "Yom" translates to "a period of time". Everywhere else in the Old Testament, it is preceded by 24, directly translating to "a 24 hour period of time" (again, not exactly, but close enough for government work). The translators assumed that they must be missing something, so they translated the Genesis ones the same way. I prefer to think that it was left out on purpose, and that the Bible can be completely resolved to science.
It also exists in logic. If you say that Absolute Truth(tm) exists only in religion, it is not an absolute truth. If you say then, that absolute truth does not exist, that is in itself an absolute. Absolute truth does in fact exist, and it has no relation to religion, although it is used heavily there. Hell, you can even say that whether or not you believe in religion has no bearing on whether or not it is true. Therefore, whether or not religion (pick one) is true is an absolute truth. Just because you don't know the answer doesn't mean that it is not absolute.
Insisting that your employees speak a common language is not bigotry. I would insist that my employees speak English natively or speak it well enough that I can't tell they are not native speakers.
As another CF programmer, I can definitavely tell you that it not A|J SP for dummies. It is quite a bit more powerful, scalable, faster to develop in, not to mention that yes, Virginia, it *does* run on Linux. Here's an interesting quote from DevCon...
At DevCon in October I discussed Web services in detail, and had the opportunity to demonstrate ColdFusion Web services being consumed by.NET (using C#) as well as.NET Web services being consumed by ColdFusion MX. One of the most blatantly obvious differences was the amount of code it took to consume a Web service -.NET is built around Web services technologies, and ColdFusion puts it to shame with something as simple as consuming a Web service (a.NET Web service at that) - one tag compared to pages of code. biased reference.
Of course, the people posting this are CF developers also, but true is true.
And that (from testing) is why you only strip alternating sections of it so that the bare wires don't touch themselves or anything else. You can get them wet if you're careful on how you strip them.
heh. I used to have that problem until I started stripping small portions of the insulation off of the wires. FYI - I did test this on myself, and it doesn't really cause *that* much of a shock. Does hurt though.
ummmm... it does. At least on my windows2000 box it does. Of course, you have to dick around with the registry (can't remember the location) or just download the TweakUI tools straight from Microsoft. There's a bunch of stuff in there. One thing I found interesting was the "how long do you want to wait to see the menu after you click on it?" question. Erm, how about not at all? OT I know, but whatever. I'll put an obligatory karma comment in here, then I'll be OK.
It's OT, but I have karma to burn...
"I suggested that consumers pay 1 cent per commercial skipped"
In all fairness, I'm sure that they left out the last part of the quote...
"I further suggest that we put X10 cameras in every home so that we can monitor when people wait for the commercial breaks to go take a leak or get something to eat. This is equivalent to theft, and consumers should be charged for it. I suggest 2 cents for every bathroom break, and 3 cents for every snack preparation, based on our aggregate time-sampling for each of these activities."
My initial thought is that yes, they should bear the costs. Computers have all sorts of nastiness inside of them, and *someone's* gotta take care of it. However, where do you draw the line? Styrofoam? Plastics? Bleach? Can't have the lifetime costs built into everything - that would make just about everything price-prohibitive.
It does for me already (at least for my T-Mobile cell phone). I have to listen to that chick read ads to me before I can check my voicemail. Well, I can skip it, but she has one hell of a sexy voice, plus they reward me for listening with free minutes.
So the real question is, does AOL have critical mass to carve out a proprietary section of the Web?
And the answer is yes they do. How many web designers have to design specifically for AOL browsers? Well, I at least have to take that into consideration. Add people who just don't know any better and the fact that if you try to cancel your account they come after you like a stalker ex girlfriend wanting "another chance", and it's like the Hotel California of ISPs.
Refusing to do business is different than saying that, for example, I would have to pay with a check instead of cash. At the point where they have agreed that a transaction is taking place, and they are ready to receive my "valuable consideration", they have no choice but to accept cash at that point. Of course they could just tell me to go F myself, and not sell it to me, but if they are, they have to take cash.
Firstly, can anyone envision what could possibly do this? Does your browser have to be trojoned to accomplish this feat? Could it be an IE-only kind of design bug?
I can envision what would do this - there's been stories about this already. It's those popup messages that come up from Windows Messenger. Easy enough to turn off and block, but most people don't.

...we could not install NetSaint on our network for fear of lawsuits
I guess that rules out SATAN then...
B. No, they're words. They don't matter. Words by themselves can't be offensive.
Oh no? Try talking to a woman some time like you would talk to a man. See if she gets offended.
Perhaps you are thinking of the Canterbury Tales? Not the best translation, but it's there. Be gentle - don't slashdot Project Gutenberg...

Pffft. That's no big deal. I "discover" methane clouds in my office all the time.
Luxury. We have to stand up for a 1, lay down for a 0, and transmit it over a webcam.
I'm not sure whether or not we copy their music is on either Janis Joplin's or Jim Morrison's mind right now...

Coins don't make any statement as to being legal tender for all debts public and private though. At least mine don't. Just says the denomination.

Spiders are definately not insects. But you know whose side they'd be on in a war.

The RIAA is as bad as or worse than Microsoft. They can't be investigated for collusion, price-fixing, or anything else?

Is that why on the front of a bill (US currency anyway) it says specifically "This note is legal tender for all debts, public and private"?
Am I the only one that read this post and wondered about the airspeed of a fully-laden African Swallow?
