As a hockey fan and university student, I still play NHL 2004 for the XBox. EA Sports provides the Dynasty mode which lets you control and play your team for 20 seasons. I still play it because each game is roughly half an hour long (that's perfect when you are as busy as I am - just pick it up, play for a bit, and then take off), graphics are still up to snuff, the outcome of every game is different (duh), and the game is always new for you because you can make draft picks or trade players. Kudos to the EA Sports team.
P.S. Although they aren't my favourite team at all, I chose to take the St. Louis Blues through 20 seasons. I have won 3 Stanley Cups in 4 seasons. The real team is last in the league!
I'm still doing okay. I get the Canadian version. Thankfully, they don't cover Canadian history all that much. If you think American history is boring, try Canadian!
I sincerely hope they do not fall into this direction. We had TLC (The Learning Channel) and they did exactly that. Used to be documentaries (and I actually learned something) and now it's all reality shows doing home decorating, or following an engaged couple through their wedding plans. I don't think I've stayed on the channel for more than 5 seconds any time in the last 5 years! If the discovery channel goes the same way, I'll be left with the History Channel. If they follow suit, I will abandon my T.V. forever.
I don't understand the time slot conflict. An 8:30 timeslot is PERFECT right now. You get Groening's Simpsons/Futurama duo followed by MacFarlane's Family Guy/American Dad combo. The perfect "animation domination" as they tried to call it.
For the server market, you have a valid point because whatever you run should be your choice and should be transparent to the end user (a fairly simple task for most situations).
End users on the other hand cannot be forced to use something different like Linux because they will not be able to function in an unfamiliar environment.
If I have read correctly and this is an image/media file exploit, this is more likely to affect the non-tech savvy end users anyway.
Based on your situation, study CSS first. Once you have HTML and CSS together, you can move onto javascript (a client-side programming language), or PHP (or ASP) a server-side language depending on what your needs are.
This has the potential to backfire. Remember when Duff Beer promised to put the winner's face on their calendar but found Moe to be so ugly (ugly), they had to slap a sticker over top of him?
Listen to yourself: "You just need to setup udev...update fstab...links in/dev/...". One can do it that way too, the problem is, your trucker dad couldn't do any of that himself. No operating system should expect the user, who depends on the GUI, to do that. I know this isn't KDE's job, but if the KDE folks want to make the Linux OS into an operating system for everyone to use, they HAVE to automate procedures like this.
This is what the dialog is intended to do. Just ask you what to do with it the first time, then do it that way everytime.

No, this is anti-thetical to the linux mentality. You want a distribution that dedicates it's support to a single desktop. If that's what you want, problem solved -> Redhat=Gnome, Suse=KDE, and others.

Do you have a better idea? They aren't doing what windows is doing because they want to be like windows, they are doing it because it's a good idea. I like the command line, but if I have to switch to the command line, figure out which device is associated with my usb key, sudo mount my usb key, sudo copy and write files, sudo umount, that's simply unacceptable. I should be able to plug my key in and just use it like another mounted drive like my other hard drives or CD/DVDs. Granted, I've automated all this by writing a shell script, but it is unacceptable for any operating system to force the user to write a program that will do something as simple as read data off a device. This isn't the user's job. It's no problem for me but that's because I'm an expert. The next user will not be able to read his or her files and this is a serious flaw.
Precisely my point. There are references to "four corners" mentioned several times throughout. These are not to be interpreted literally because it would conflict with the passages you referenced and the evidence we have. It's to be interpreted figuratively as "from all directions" or "North, South, East, and West"
That clause is more likely referring to the Book of Revelations, not necessarily the entire Bible itself. My other post describes better reasoning I think.
It's a legitimate question. Why hasn't there been any new revelations since the time of the original publishing? When was the Bible last updated?
Yeah, it's a legitimate question. The answer is the Bible is a complete text in itself so requires no additions. We have the complete story described for us: 1. God intended us to be in perfect harmony with him - a personal relationship with this god 2. Man is now sinful and was cut off from this intent by Satan 3. Jesus allows a way to reconciliation with God provided we accept Jesus as that pathway for a "reconnection" 4. The day will come when Satan will be destroyed and the intended harmony will be restored for us permanently (provided you agree with and have done point 3). There is nothing new to "reveal".
The Bible isn't a story of historical events where God intervenes from time to time and all of sudden sometime after 100 AD he stopped. It's a story of the above 4 points and everything else in there is filler (and I use filler in the positive sense, those stories/letters and the like help describe those points).
I personally haven't listened as I don't believe. You probably have always been "hearing" but you haven't always been "listening". Like when you show up for class but zone out and miss the whole lesson. God's presence is revealed to us a little differently from the way it was revealed in the Old Testament/Gospels. How do you listen to God today? One method is to "listen" to this post. Again, he is talking directly to you! Are you listening?
That depends on how you interpret the Bible. "100% accurate and inspired directly by God" can mean if the Bible says it, that's what happened (eg. 6 day creation, global deluge, four corners of a flat Earth), or it can mean that it merely carries truth, but not all things are to be interpreted in a literal sense.
And the Bible does not bluntly say Moses wrote those books. "The laws of Moses" is a common phrase, but that doesn't imply that the version contained in today's Bible is a direct translation of what Moses wrote but merely originates from what Moses wrote.
If I recall corectly, the Pentateuch was writen by Moses as dictated to him by God. This includes Genesis.
That depends on who you ask. Researchers believe the pentateuch was more likely written by at least 4 scholars/rabbis during the exile in Babylon. See: http://www.straightdope.com/mailbag/mbible1.html or this book.
Connect a hub (not a switch) to some strategic place on the network. Give yourself an IP address and check for excessive traffic with iptraf. This will give you a breakdown of what bandwidth is being used by what services.
I'm only a student, not a systems administrator so I wouldn't pretend to suggest I know what's acceptable and what's not, but this would piss me off if I knew someone was doing this to me. I imagine this kind of behaviour should be kept under one's hat
Further, random unplugging of cables which cause seemingly excessive traffic on the switches/routers can cause outrages as well. It all depends on the nature of the network, but it might make more sense to pay the owner of the machine or subnet a visit before yanking the plug.
To contribute something to the discussion: Of course this depends on the kind of network we're talking about here, but I think the best approach is to document who, what, and why on your network. Get a handle on who is on your network, what they are doing on your network, and why they are doing it. When you have this all documented, it is simple to define policies (or prices?) for the kind of behaviour going on on the inside, and for what is allowed from the outside.

Which is why it makes sense to give the player free money when they land on free parking. Unfortunately, this has never been an official rule AFAIK.
