it's also nice to notice that "removing X11 dependancy" from kdebase and kdelibs is on the todo list. this will make it even easier to port kde to windows. (or native mac)
technically this is not a dupe, it's a follow up. that is it is the third in a very short time doesn't make it a dupe... but you might say it is annoying non the less.
3rd google article in two days... a well, if you ask me there is nothing wrong with the way google does this. they do not make the entire book availible, only very small parts of it. and if I remember right, amazon has been doing the same thing too for quite some time.. they just didn't have a search engine to search through ALL the books.. you could only search in one.
as a dutch person, I have to agree it seems that many of the new directions we are heading in are in the wrong direction.
and guess what... most of this new thinking direction is about fucking terrorism. to "protect" us.
laws are already being passed to arrest people who haven't yet commited a crime but "might" do so in the near future. (because it is not much use to arrest someone who is going to blow himself up after he commited the crime.
according to our government they would even like to expanding this by making adoration for terrorists a crime. thinks like "I think bin laden is a cool guy" or "man, really darn nice explosion a few weeks ago" could very well cause you big trouble.
the problem is this kind of thinking is that it could very well cause people who are actually joking or haven't done anything to go to jail, it is also a very usable power source if they would decide to use it for bad things. and it is also a first direction into the breaking down of our freedom of speech.
our government is heading in the wrong direction. and in general, there is no such thing as turning back...
are there people these days that run a webserver without a database? I surely ran a database together with my webserver from day one... so it doesn't really give much overhead. and database queries do have there merits.
IE might be the worst browser, or perhaps not. who knows. I do have better experience with firefox when talking about spyware and such. but it should not be forgotten that IE is massively targetted by that stuff and firefox isn't (yet).
another problem is that some things just don't exist for the firefox scene.
a friend on mine for example writes 3d games and applications using the quest engine web plugin. and this stuff needs activex and directx. http://www.quest3d.com/index.php?id=15
in private he is an opengl fanatic, but there just isn't a serieus alternative for writing these kind of things. these kind of small problems I think tend to be the things that make most people switch back when they encounter them.
feature wise, internet explorer 7 is also going to be arround the same as firefox. (tabs and such) It will surely be interesting to see what will happen around that time.
In general, I love open source, and in general, firefox gets me to do what I want to do. that is, read webpages and surf the net without banner overkill, spyware and viri. but not everything works.
my personal points of love since 3.0 are mostly found in kontact. (kerberos support in pop3/imap/smtp) and ongoing improvements in the groupware scene. kde text to speech was also a quite fun addition with many potentials. (but I would like a better backend with support for natural voices...) konqy fixes are render bug every release and speed has increased nicely overall. all in all I think there will just be less announcements like when we got our first kmail release or kopete messenger, simply because most apps are already there. I think kde is slowly getting to a point where more and more time is spend on polishment. the major framework is getting there where it should be. but don't get me wrong... getting everything cleaned up is VERY important.
firefox is a nice browser... but technology's like.net sure seem like a trouble to me in new windows versions. I've head some sites depend on.net being pressent in order to be displayed. I sure hope they can handle it.
so it seems kget/konqueror isn't going to be the first browser to support bittorrent after all. http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57591 I think it is a very nice feature to have. downloading from torrent feels almost the same to an end user as downloading from an ftp or http site. and it saves the hosting server a lot of bandwith. to bad microsoft won't support it natively in their webbrowser.

I'll burry the battle axe for now. perhaps I'll take a closer look at mormonism someday. don't suspect I'll ever become a member, but I always was fascinated by other religions.
> So your ASSumption is, that I, a CONVERT to the > LDS Church, am too stupid and ignorant, and > otherwise brain dead to have researcched > anything before joining? well, I know some people who joined the mormon church, I never will nor did claim you where stupid. I do find it tragic to see that many of the mormons spoke with had absolutely no knowledge about the church other then "then felt good" being there.
I myself was raised christian, not LSD... perhaps I am closed minded, blinded by my origional belief system. perhaps not, I did read many additions to the bible. including the origional book of mormon.
> And that YOU a non-member know more about LDS > beliefs than the members do? I had many talks with someone who served in a mormon temple for over 17 years. I won't go and claim I know more then you about it, just a general amount.
I trust you too have put a lot of research in it. and if you believe it to be the highest truth, then you would be a fool not to follow it.
I just had my questions when reading it. I especially have concerns about joseph smith his background. but perhaps it's just me being paranoia.
I also wouldn't ask you to become a moralless pervert. but in my oppinion, not all non mormons are moralless perverts.
I try not to share in hatred. but I don't go with everyone's opinion either.
I quit being a christian. many people are happy with it, but It couldn't satisfy me. I guess I am not really the believer type. In my oppinion my work is first and foremost to this world, try to make it a better place by changing in to the direction I believe to be the right one. I believe the everything beinig realitive. everything is the way it is observed. the believe of monotheistic religions that there is only one truth, one good, one evil doesn't work for me.
I am sure god is a nice guy, and I don't try to offend people believing in him. I just don't follow one. what makes one religion more true then another? all of them have equal possibility of being right, and an equal possibility of being wrong, and if history is to be any guide, people are more often wrong then they are right.
but the truth will reveal itself it time.;) whatever that may be.
another funny thing to be noted is that the It early masonic temple's all have symbolism in there architecture that by the majority of people would be considered satanic. these are symbols include (but not limited too) the reversed pentagram, and the five pointed star.
josef smith (the founder of mormonism) was a mason and well aware of the meaning of these symbols.
yet another thing to notice is that there isn't a single cross in those mormon temples. not one!
other doctrines include:
People living on the sun and moon:
"Nearly all the great discoveries of men in the last half century have, in one way or another... contributed to prove Joseph Smith to be a prophet. As far back as 1837, I know that he said the moon was inhabited by men and women the same as this earth, and that they lived to a greater age than we do, that they live generally to near the age of 1000 years. He described the men as averaging near six feet in height, and dressing quite uniformly in something near the Quaker style" (O. B. Huntington, Young Women's Journal, Vol. 3, p. 264, 1892). "Who can tell us of the inhabitants of this little planet that shines of an evening, called the moon?... So it is with regard to the inhabitants of the sun. Do you think it is inhabited? I rather think it is. Do you think there is any life there? No question of it" (B. Young, Journal of Discourses, Vol. 13, p. 271).
Joseph Smith will be Heaven's gatekeeper:
"No man or woman in this dispensation will ever enter into the celestial kingdom of God without the consent of Joseph Smith. From the day that the Priesthood was taken from the earth to the winding up scene of all things, every man and woman must have the certificate of Joseph Smith, junior, as a passport to their entrance into the mansion where God and Christ are" (Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses, Vol. 7, p. 289).
The dead can be saved:
"We are the only people that know how to save our progenitors, how to save ourselves, and how to save our posterity in the celestial kingdom of God; that we are the people God has chosen by whom to establish his kingdom and introduce correct principles into the world; and that we are in fact the saviours of the world..." (John Taylor [Prophet], Journal of Discourses, Vol. 6, p. 163).
but atleast it didn't took me 4 years to get my printer up and running... all in all I am very happy with linux, but why does it always have to be win=bad lin=good everywhere.
It get's harder when you try to secure it with sasl/gssapi. but I agree. openldap isn't THAT hard for a simple setup. don't know how well it scales though...

well, the old graphics sucked...
if you ask me this was just a much needed change.
4b - for the hospital..
but using one of those will disable your hardware accelerated windows desktop candy thingy's.
kde will have kdemm (kdemultimedia layer)
:)
and that layer will then allow you to select a backend. and one of the will be arts...
but it can be left out.
that is, if a thing like "free will" exist.

as someone who has studied
please buy and read your origional book of mormon
you will find it to be very different from the origional.
