    Darwin started out a Creationist. He stopped being one because Creationism kept making wrong predictions.

  9. Re:Uh, Car analogy? on HP Dishonors Warranty If You Load Linux · · Score: 1

    Now, IANAL, but it may not be a legally binding clause to state that loading a different OS invalidates the entire hardware warranty. I think there's consumer protection laws that'd require there to be a potential link between the two. Hence, replacing a physically defective keyboard should still be covered.
    What if the keyboard got fried when CPU got too hot because there was no HP CPU cooling software installed on the new OS? The link would be the inclusion of HP CPU control software from factory - and the lack of such software under the new OS.

    My question is this: If you clean install Windows from a retail CD and not install the HP software, is the warranty void?
  10. Re:"GNU/Linux" on Introducing GNU/Linux Via Applications · · Score: 1

    GNU didn't create GNOME or X or KDE or Amarok or Gaim or OpenOffice.
    What a silly thing to say. Do you call MS Windows: "WindowsVistaOffice2007PhotoshopNeroPremier"? No, you don't! No-one calls GNU/Linux: "GNU/MIT/Sun/GNOME Foundation/KDE foundation/Gaim project/Linux".

    But more importantly, all these apps that you mention are superfluous for many systems. Many a GNU/Linux system has no need of a Window Manager or even X, let alone such GUI applications. But just you try booting the Linux kernel without any GNU tools.

    As others have mentioned, GNU created GNOME - by the way.

    think you may have misunderstood the second quote...read on: "But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean. And the voice [spake] unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, [that] call not thou common. This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven....While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men (gentiles) seek thee...And he (Peter) said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean. " - Acts 10:14-16,19,28
    I do understand the context of the story and that it was about the Jew-Gentile relations dilemma that arose in relation to Jewish law and a certain gentile named Cornelius. However, from what I understand from the scriptures, I seriously doubt that God would use as an illustration, a vision containing a command to do something (that a misguided few presume to be) anathema in His eyes. Therefore, God is not opposed to the killing and eating of animals. Scriptures that refer to man's stewardship would however imply that God requires humane treatment of said animals though.

Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you even as the green herb have I given you all things." - Genesis 9:2-3

    "And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth: Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air. A nd there came a voice to him ``Rise, Peter, kill and eat''." - Acts 10:11-13

    "Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils: Speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their conscience seared with a hot iron, Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth." - 1 Tim 4:1-3

    Will the Son of the Programmer patch all programs from the Original Bug?
    It's not a bug per se, but a feature. More like, the program code was designed to be self-modifying. However, it corrupted itself very early on.

    Many years later on, the Programmer released a Universal Hotfix. The purpose of the fix is to repair the corruption and enable a permanent and reliable connection to the Programmer's network. Thus all patched and connected programs are now enabled to exit 0. The fix also adds some cool new features.

    The Hotfix update can patch any and all of the programs, not matter how corrupted. However, this fix is not rolled out automatically and forcibly applied to all programs. Yet it is available to all programs (at no cost). Programs must connect to the Programmer's Server can receive the fix.

  25. MS 'Once Cared' Email scanning on Windows Live OneCare Can Eat Your Email · · Score: 2, Interesting

    From the forum posts, it seems that MS don't want to scan incoming or outgoing emails and they also now don't want to scan the .pst file.
