Fortunately most mainline religions acknowledge this, it's just the loudmouth conservative wackos who perpetuate the stereotype that a Christian believes the world is four thousand years old.
I don't think you can have it both ways. You either take the Bible as the divinely inspired word of God
in writing or you admit that it's wrong and Christianity is not true.
In fact my opinion is that the existence of God is an axiom.
The existance of the universe is evident. Anything further is wishful thinking, even if you want to clothe it in a fancy word 'axiom'. If you truly believe that you know God, well done and congratulations. Just don't expect other people to believe you.
This should put a nail in the wrists of the YEC crowd, a sword in the side of their theories... but not when the theory can magically res-a-fucking-rect.
There is no logic in business. It's all about who you smile at, who you lie to, who you steal from, who you do favours for, who you do special favours for, who you fuck, who fucks you, who you back stab, who you kick when they're down and who you offer a helping hand up only to get a blow job later.
man - if google could improve searching for porn what a relief that would be. Currently I have to wade through bucket loads of fake links, booby pop-ups, fake free pics, virii and other crap. I hope they improve the search engine so that it delivers the best free pussy on the net.
I'm a windows guy myself so I don't know - is it normal to require the root password in order to burn a cd in linux?
Been using Linux for 1.5 years and still haven't found out how to eject a cd without rooting. I haven't found out because I can't be bothered looking for the answer when I know the root password. In all honesty I cannot recommend linux as a desktop alternative until I know how to get around that. Windows is still easier.
Slashdot, phat bandwidth, internet gaming, ecommerce... these are the things the people of Africa need. Food, water, shelter and stable government are relatively unimportant.
You're right. A god would be able to do this - break all natural laws and put a boat on Ararat. A god could also pull the sun across the sky and shift the waves in the ocean to make tides. The problem is that they don't make good explanations for natural phenomenon. Explaining anything (an event, why the sun rises, why we exist etc..) by inventing a god is a weak answer because anyone can make it up and it shifts the question from 'how did the boat get there?' to 'how do you know that your version of god is correct?' which is a harder question to answer. Fortunately the scientific method is able to do that and has proved itself over and over again with countless examples.
You shouldn't be suprised that people hate Christians. It's because people hate liars.
The bible's certainly been studied a lot. Historical events are mentioned in the bible but they are merged with fictitious fairy tales. As a result it becomes hard to separate fact from fiction and susceptible minds, like the one you have, are easily misled.
I don't know much about shares and stocks and stuff but I've heard complaints in previous threads about 'greedy wall street bastards' buying heaps of shares to make a profit. Why doesn't Google put a set a maximum number of shares limit per person/organization. Then it will encourage a more even distribution of wealth.
they might ask some stupid arse question like "Do you know JavaScript?"
That reminds me... The best line I had from a recruiter was 'What's an integer'. It's really painful having to sit there and put up with their shitty questions that attempt to diagnose your competency. It's a fundamental fact that you can't judge a person's competence in a field if you know nothing about that field. Try evaluating someone's French when you don't know French. This is what recruiters/hr people try to do and it doesn't work.
He tries Win95 except he installs it using Virtual PC on an XP host and suprise! the fucking thing squirts out a tune and works with greater than 8 GB drives and god knows what other hardware devices. I pointed this out in
an earlier article. And now Fred sits there grinning like the chump who squirts out an escaped fart and says 'tehehehe look at me - i got sound on Win95! Even 9 Linux distros couldn't do it!'
He installed win 95 in a Virtual PC environment. Doesn't the Virtual PC software handle all the low level device driver stuff, including sound cards? I think his testing strategy is invalid.
Concepts invented in the world of proprietary software are automatically rejected on the assumption that there's nothing that could possibly be learned from those who are competing with their movement.
It would be nice if he could point out some specific examples of this. And what happens when OS projects duplicate stuff in Windows because it happens to be a good way to do things? They get people bitching 'it should be different from Windows', 'oh you should innovate a different way to do it, don't just clone Windows' or some other rubbish. Christ, theres just no pleasing some people.
Idiot. The fundamental fact about any OS project is that it is well within the rights of the project maintainers to dictate policy and goals of the project. For example it is their choice to listen or not to listen to user requests. It is their choice if they want to make the user experience a priority goal. You don't own them or their time. People who write articles about the problems of OS seem to overlook this, bitch and complain and ignore all the good that OS has done on a shoestring budget to improve software and society in general. People who think that this attitude is wrong should take a look at the real world and see how reality works. The OpenSource phenomenon is a utopia that does not exist anywhere else in the working world.
I asked a maths university lecturer once "how do you know when something has been proved?" and he laughed and replied "When someone else agrees that the proof is correct. The problem is there is no definition of a proof."
Kid grows up, plays games, gets bored playing the same type of game over and over again, gets older, makes new kids, new kids play same style game that parent played but for them it's novel because it's a new experience. Which is why games will continue to grow. Games sell an experience. If you haven't had that experience before then you'll play it. If you've had that experience before, the novelty wears off.

Why don't the Japanese like people with type B blood?

It looks like Apocalypse about to unleash a super blast of mega death on the unsuspecting human scum of the earth and wastify them.

I've found an alternative that allows windows programs to run natively. Check it out here

Haha. This is kinda like climbing mount Olympus to find Zeus.
Apparently Paul Allen has a 20 billion debt to shake off. Now that's retarded (if it's true).
