    Amen.

  3. Re:interesting on Biases in Simulation Video Games · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If you've read the Bible you should know that only a portion of it is actually the teachings of Jesus, and that his message differs radically from the message that precedes it in the Bible. The Jewish laws and the stories of God's people are not always peaceful, but Jesus' message is consistently about peace, compassion... In fact, in one story Jesus prevents a mob from stoning an adulteress, but instructs her to "sin no more." For those who make an honest attempt to interpret the Bible accurately, Jesus inspires peace.

    If you're interested or curious, after reading the Bible, check out John Howard Yoder's "The Politics of Jesus."

  4. fewer bugs than rivals on Linux Has Fewer Bugs Than Rivals · · Score: 1

    "fewer bugs than rivals"

    I don't know if I agree. Linux has a handful of rivals (NetBSD, Solaris, Windows... ) but the number of bugs in Linux probably numbers in the tens or hundreds. ;)

  5. software is expensive on Software Piracy Due to Expensive Hardware, Says Ballmer · · Score: 1

    Maybe the reason for piracy is that the software itself is expensive. Duh...

    Ringworm's Children

  7. Re:Housing director at my college on People with real l337 speak names? · · Score: 2, Funny

    It was a silent "3", I assume. Otherwise, just how do you pronounce that?

  8. one must fall on Martial Arts Robots · · Score: 1

    Does anyone remember the game One Must Fall? Maybe it could be real life now?

  9. Re:wasting time? on Georgy Tells Why She Should Be California Gov · · Score: 1

    Just speculation, but maybe she doesn't think it will be detrimental to this campaign because alienating conservatives won't preclude obtaining a sufficient plurality to win this election.

  10. go to the store - and listen on Shopping for a New Monitor? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I don't know if I agree completely. I did a fair amount of internet research and decided upon Viewsonic since they had a good reputation. I ordered (online ) a black P95f+ because it had good specs and reviews. Visually, I have no complaints, but it emits a quiet though obnoxious high frequency ticking or buzz as I have heard in other lower quality monitors. This ticking/buzz corresponds to the frequency of the monitor. I could have avoided this sound if I would have bought or at least examined one at a store, unless I just got a bad apple...
    Word of wisdom: look at your candidates in person, at a store, and listen to them too.
