Which is why in fact a Holy Bible translated into Mandarin loses even more of its meaning to being nonsensical; arguably more then it already is. In a book where metaphorical and literal are so deeply intertwined, is it any wonder old religious text can withstand the time of multi-generational translation?
I agree with that assessment; Sunni vs Shia and all that. In the end, doesn't really matter? They're only at each others throat insomuch as vying (ostensibly) for world domination via Islamic caliphate. The best thing that could happen is that Iran dominates the Islamic community. This would theoretically contain the Islamic threat to a specific region of the world vs the global Sunni. Shia believe in following the line of Ali (Muhammad's son-in-law), so that leaves them more philosophically vulnerable whereas Sunni believe in predestination. I mean, if you believe that God already knows the outcome and that Islam isn't going anywhere, you really have nothing to fear.
I'm not taking sides, but as a Christian, as least there's a point of convergence with Shia (and Judaism) that could finally put all this BS behind us. May take another thousand year or so...but...
I don't like it, but there are certain fundamental truths of life; one of them being that "the world is governed by the aggressive use of force". Always has been. Always will be.
What side are you on?? Oh yes...there are sides. There are always sides. If you don't pick one, one will be chosen for you. Yeah, another undeniable truth of life.
Again. I'm not telling you what you want to know. I'm telling you what you NEED to know.
I'm perfectly fine with calling him an "Islamofacist" or "Islamic fanatic". Whatever, tag Islam in with his movement per the flag he raised. If that won't be done, then we have a bunch of cowards who just assume turn a blind eye to the evil that's being forged in the hearts of men.
Pakistan has the nuke (with a tenuous pro-western political regime and an anti-western Islamic population). Iran is in the midst of creating one. With regards to Iran, how much of their effort is religious zealotry? How much of it is pure political brinkmanship under the auspicious of Islam?
“There is no God but Allah and Muhammad is his messenger.” echoes a past in which Muhammad waged war against the polytheists of his birthplace. A cult that never died to this day.
Right. And Bush also said of Vladimir Putin "I looked the man in the eye. I found him to be very straightforward and trustworthy. We had a very good dialogue. I was able to get a sense of his soul; a man deeply committed to his country and the best interests of his country." back in 2001.
Bush was many things, but certainly he's been known to say diplomatic BS if only to placate your advisory. Pussyfooting doesn't work too well in the long-run, does it?
No it's not. The Crusades came about because of Islamic terrorism in the past. If it wasn't for Islam, there wouldn't be any Crusaders. Christianity is predominately about showing people the door, but only they can walk through it of their own freewill. Islam OTOH is about spreading the word by force. Ever wonder why they have a sword on the flag? It's for offense, not defense.
This is why I only purchase used CD stamped in 1999 and earlier, then rip to FLAC. DONE!!! I pretend all other CDs made after that don't exist. HDTracks.com has some decent material too. If you've got the DAC, 192k / 24bit is available. But again as you've pointed out, it's all about the mastering.
To carry this further, you can imagine Apple devices eventually be offered in those impossible-to-open hard molded plastic shells hanging up near the checkout counter. If the device is MEANT to be a throw-away, doesn't that just SCREAM "commodity"? Can Apple have it both ways? Boutique business model with disposable products? I'm thinking, not for long.
Apple is selling you a platform; and ideology. The hardware is merely a vessel to carry and express it. The fact the hardware is throw-away is inconsequential to the aforementioned core philosophy that Apple espouses to the market. For example, the "cloud" represents the method now.
One day I hope we can have rational dialogue on the subject, but if you read the posts here you will see it's quite impossible at present.
HAH! yeah right. Our elected officials can't even do that. One party alone passed the Affordable Care Act without even debating it. Rushed through no less.
“we have to pass the bill so you can find out what is in it,” -Nancy Pelosi.
Right, because what's IN the bill isn't as important as what it ostensibly represents. In short, our officials haven't a fucking clue as to what they're doing...and to whom; in fact they don't care. AT ALL!
In states like Oregon and New Jersey, sure I can see that; being you're not allowed to pump your own gas.
Actually a study was released on the to five causes of a CEL code.
1: O2 sensor 2: gas cap 3: catalytic converter 4: mass airflow sensor 5: misfire from faulty sparkplugs and wires.
Problems 4 and 5 can cause damage to both the O2 sensor and catalytic converter prematurely depending on how many miles are on the vehicle. Neglecting proper maintenance will catch up with the owner in costly repairs.
Also worth mentioning: from 1998-2009, a loose gas cap was the #1 cause for a CEL. Past that during end of the study, a faulty O2 sensor ranked the highest (by fraction of a percent).
Check Engine Light can be tripped for a variety of reasons, but most commonly it's for faulty emissions. An EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) code is exceedingly common in which the valve is stuck or too much carbon buildup obstructing it. O2 sensor code is another major one too.
Perhaps it came from a mineral called ringwoodite which is an ocean of water locked up deep in the earth. During period of vulcanism, the mineral outgases water to the surface.
I'm not a sailor, but I have seen what happens when sea spray hits glass. Over time as the sun drys it, an accumulation of salt film builds up. That's not always easy to clean off.
You should be able to disable it. WiFi saturation is bad enough. What's worse is that it's all blowing out your office and/or residence! So even if they're not tying up your internet bandwidth, most certainly local WiFi bandwidth is use. Very true if some asshole has BitTorrent running 24/7 as there will be constant WiFi chatter.
Oh, don't worry, the 5Ghz spectrum is next to get saturated once the IC chips become so cheap that dual-band is ubiquitous in all newer cheap devices. Give it a few more years.
Who ever builds WiFi antenna condoms (little wire mesh faraday cages) will become a bazillionar! Fuck Comcast, I'll use my own firewall thank-you-very-much.
I read about that before I bought mine. I figured I would have to update it once i got back to the office. Good news, it was already at the latest rev out of the box. So yeah, they're now shipping latest firmware. Which is good because I'm running a MBP and doing the whole update thing is a PITA.

Your helmet breaks and your eyes bug out like Arnold Schwarzenegger?? But hey, you got da wings man!

Will NEVER happen. That Imam would have a fatwa for his head the instant he speaks up.

Um, yeah. I'll just leave the quote to stand on its own; and the conundrum that it is.

No. You just don't work and live in LA. That's a far cheaper option. Fact is, some places on Earth are more risky than others. LA is high risk.

The biggest mistake the U.S. made in the war is taking prisoners. Let this be a lesson. Shoot to kill!!!
