I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to disagree.
Infinity just means 'forever', not that anything is possible just because you have a long time to complete any task possible.
Free will isn't mentioned explicity because otherwise the Bible (thus humans' experiences everywhere) doesn't become life as we know it, but rather a hugely staged play for God to do his directoring debue.
And for my example (and a silly one it is, too): Assuming your (straight/male), God gave you everything you desired; new computer, free beer, hordes of naked ladies. The one rule God gave you was 'Don't sleep with that guy just laying there.' Do you still think that because anything is possible that you'd sleep with that guy?
Is it just me, or does the example shown not seem very simplified? Granted, I didn't throughly read through the example, but it just seemed to me like another custom tag library on top of struts. And with that, all the complexity that comes with it. I just don't know about it. . . .
HAHAHA.
Oh lord, you're serious. NetFront stinks to high heaven. When you can have more than one browser open in NetFrontv3.2 (which I believe is the latest version) and actually render a page in a decent amount of time, then I'd consider Netfront vs. Opera.
If you RTA, you'd see that he did test K-Meleon, and that he considered Galeon not worth writing about, as they were pretty even with the other gecko-based browsers.
Lastly, what's with the 'unfortunate' with Opera? It is only ad supported if you have the free version. Otherwise, you don't see ads with the paid version. And what's wrong with it being closed source? Is it really that 'unfortunate' that a company decided that it would be in their best interest to try to sell this Opera software?
Geez. . .
Jorge Lopez, I have something to tell you. You should go back to DeVry and demand your money back, because you got completely screwed in their education process. This article you wrote about the Mac mini is so complete of FUD, I honestly wonder if you know anything about computers, or if Microsoft slipped you the mickey.
Ill admit, we were excited at first to get one in the lab to put through its paces. I had heard about the machine and seen a few clips on G4 of Steve Jobs' keynote at Macworld San Francisco in January. My curiosity piqued by the pronouncement of a $499 computer from Apple, I checked out Apple.com to look up its specs. While the hardware is about roughly equivalent to a Windows PC circa 1995, what got me interested were Apples claims about its size, weight and footprint.
Dude, what 1995 computer did you use? An intel PC circa 1995 ran about 200mhz, not 1.25 ghz. Ram was about 16mb - 32mb, not 256mb. Completely ignorant, or blantant FUD?
If you believe Apples marketing department, the new Mini is smaller than most packs of gum and weighs less than four quarters. Well, we received our test unit from Apple yesterday, and let me say right off the bat that those claims are a wee bit of an exaggeration. Far from being Trident-sized, the Mini actually measures about 6.5x6.5x2, about the size of two wonderbread cheese sandwiches stacked on top of each other, or about 50 packs of Bubble Yum. As for the weight, it feels about three pounds. Hold a Mini in one hand and four quarters in the other and tell me which one feels heavier. You could perform this experiment yourself at an Apple store.
Dude, now you're saying you can't read. The Ipod shuffle is about the size of a gum, not the Mac mini. Wow. You're not even trying here anymore, are you?
As for the style of the unit, its alright. It reminds me of a ShuttlePC. But since its sleek look comes at the expense of the parallel port, serial ports, the PS/2 ports and the drive bays, potential Mac mini buyers should ask themselves just how much utility theyre willing to sacrifice for style. Oh, did I forget to mention that the Mini has no PCI slots either? And no floppy disk drive? Well, no wonder they got the unit to be so small. No keyboard or mouse either. Sorry, Kayla, daddys got to make another trip to Best Buy before you can play with your new computer. Hmmm...let's see here...
Um, the Mac platform has stop using floppies since the second version of the Imac. In 1998. The fact that no new Macs since then has ever shipped with one should not be a surprise to someone in the industry. But, trolls will be trolls. Yeah, the mini has no pci slots. A form factor that size, some sacrifices had to be made. If you want to do some modifications for your computer, the mac mini wasn't meant for you. It's for people who just want a computer that works. And, please, we both know that if the mac mini had come with a mac keyboard and mouse, you'd just bitch about the fact that you don't like the mac keyboard and mouse. So, I suppose it's a win-win for you, isn't it? You get to troll both ways....I could get a Mac mini computer for $499 and have no keyboard or mouse, no serial ports, no way to connect a printer, no PS/2 ports, no floppy drive, no 5.25" bays, no PCI slots, no speakers, and no Windows XP...
Um, most printers come with usb cables nowadays. Again, the mac hasn't used ps/2 ports since about 1998, usb ports all the way. This is a mac mini. Do you think they could honestly call it that if you put 5.25 bays, PCI slots, and speakers inside it? Hmm, you speak of Windows XP missing as a bad thing. . ....or I could grab an equally stylish, full-featured eMachine at the gas station with a bag of chips for less than half the Mini's price, with the added benefit of being able to run Windows XP. Decisions, decisions.
Yeah, you could buy a comparable eMachine computer for the same price as a Mac mini. Just like I could buy a comparable Dell for
That one was slightly different, however. The sponsor of the original US Dream Team in 92 was Reebok. However, Michael Jordan was with, of course, Nike. Nike was really nervous about having their flagship star posing in their competition's logo. (Jordan basically helped make Nike the company they are today.)
The solution? Mike wore the American flag over the part of the uniform that said Reebok. Other than Charles Barkley, I don't think any of the Dream Team was with Nike. So I don't think it mattered so much to they're sponsors.

"Look, we have issues associated with security these days because people aren't keeping up with their system maintenance" by downloading updates and corrective patches, she said. That leaves many home Internet users vulnerable to viruses or other attacks.
They completely gloss over the other aspect of security, which is keeping people out that shouldn't have access to your information. They're bloody mad if they think I'm going to let someone else have access to my personal information.
Hell, I've stopped using my computer as a way to do my journal because of security problems. They think I'm going to let someone else store it? Ha.
. . . while giving up on and letting run free a terrorist that has attacked us several times including the largest foreign attack on our soil ever, who happens to be related to the business partners of our president.
I really, really hate when people state 9/11 like it's the worst thing that ever happened to this country, because it's truly hyperbole at it's best.
Every time someone mentions 9/11 as the largest or worst foreign attack on our soil, I always feel the need to remind them of Pearl Harbor. Hell, some battles in the war of 1812 were worse than 9/11. So, please, keep some perspectives.
Unfortunately, in situations like this, though there is a 50% chance that he'd be acquited in the end, he'll still stand a good chance of being dragged into court. Anything, anything that can be conferred as resistance on the victims part is. A victim doesn't have to struggle or move or say no.
Another thing you have to realize is that part of the reason why the law seems stacked with the victim on rape cases aren't for men/women, but for adults/children, especially when the children are family members.*
In situations between adults/children, there aren't usually a lot of protesting, especially between family members. So there needs to be at least a way for the victim to receive justice in such a situation.
*I personally wish they would make a distinction between two adults and an adult/child in the law. I personally agree that for rape to occur between two adults, the victim must at least vocally/physically protest the action
If it was truly a rape, there have got to be signs of struggle, no? This does bring us to a hazy area...if a woman doesn't want to have sex, but just lays there or doesn't struggle, is it rape?
Oh, boy, yes it is. In fact, if it's clear that they can't get away unharmed, or the assailant has made it clear that s/he can and/or will harm the victim if struggles, a person is suppose to do everything possible not to get themselves hurt.
As soon as someone says 'No.', 'No, I don't want to.', stop. The law doesn't care if they're both drunk, stoned, or perfectly coherent. It's rape. A struggle is not necessary for rape to occur.
FOX is the least of the problem. Yeah, they're biased, but they don't pretend otherwise.
Now, I may be coming into the argument late, but I just had to respond. That exactly is the problem with Fox news reporting. They are biased.
Now, that in and of itself, does not bother me. It's impossible to be completely unbiased. Hell, you have be biased just based on economics principles (i.e. which stories to cover, print, report, etc.)
They completely and totally lie to their audiences when they state they try to report he news unbiasly, when anyone can obviously see it's not true.
If they were at least honest about it, a lot of the hemming and hawing about Fox would disappear overnight, I'd bet.
I don't know when the last you checked IU's wireless network, but you cannot connect wirelessly using WEP. You have to use VPN to connect. I'm not sure with what encryption, but I do know it's VPN.
Do try again, though;)

I did. I liked it a lot better than Netscape that was on the box. Of course, as soon as KDE was installed, I switched to Konqueror.
