Though I consider an embedded OS more along something you could run on an ARM7, whereas Microsoft considers it something you could run on a Pentium 3 with a full chipset in box that doesn't look like a standard PC. By my definition, the latter two don't qualify, and WinCE only barely.
I haven't jumped to any conclusions. Maybe I am dim, but I can't see what the subject of your post, which is reasonable and contained in the first line, has to do with the film you quote? It is just doesn't make any sense. Did you confuse two different posts? Just can't quite see the connection between Christian beliefs and some movie you saw once!
I am making the point that in traditional Christian belief, the Devil will use any tactic to ensnare the weak. The vanity of the "hero lawyer" is what Satan uses to ensnare him, just as boredom and a computer "ensnared" Sharma.
Atheism isn't a belief in no god, it's a disbelief in god. We don't evangelize any more than a Christian goes about telling everyone that there is no Zeus, no Klingons, no Boogieman. You don't have to evangelize your disbeliefs.
Some say temptation is a form of evil. Computer offers temptation, person becomes evil. Though I agree that this rationale is flawed, we're all a little guilty of it at one time or another. The logic usually runs along the lines of "If this hadn't happened, I'd be happy now." Easy to understand, really.
That's the flawed logic. The correct aphorism is: an idle mind is the Devil's workshop. Without pressing familial responsibilies to keep their minds and hands occupied, young people too easily get in trouble.
I.e., if Sharma worked all day, and came home to help take care of his family, there would be no time for him to get into mischief.
On the whole, we seem to be slowly moving from a "govern thyself" to a "If no-ones watching, why not?" frame of mind.
I wonder if this is almost being encouraged by the powers that be as it fosters a feeling that it's ok for them to be watching because I no longer expect the others around me to be governing their own behavior...
IMO, this devolution stems from a set of interrelated and feedback-reinforcing factors, some of which are
the breakdown in the teaching of manners and responsibility
Normally, you wouldn't see the protruding metal stub, which is just an attachment point, but rather the cosmetic (and hopefully functional) prosthetic.

I had to have a tooth pulled back in the early 1990s (wow, has it been that long?), and they drilled a hole in my jaw, and implanted a small Ti post. When it healed a month later, they shoved on the false tooth.
I live in a catholic country and there is many people who only have one child.
You live in Italy?
I was thinking more of people in their 50s and 60s, who's children woud now be of the age to get married and procreate. Those are the people who typically had more than two children.
And what about nuns and priests? If your child is a nun/priest, I'm pretty sure your family won't be adding much to the human population in future generations.
If your child is a celibate nun/priest, that means that you are a married Roman Catholic in, at least, your 40s and thus had more than one child. Your other progeny, being good Catholics, will reproduce.
Whether the (*) happened under Bush or Clinton is unknown, but don't really make any sense to have happened under Clinton and not approach AT&T until under Bush.
My only comment (based upon my experience working/contracting with government bureaucracies) is that it's reasonable for the idea to have started during the time when Clinton was in office.
you missed the whole continuation. Their is definitly a pattern of continuation from Bush Sr's admininstration, which was a continuation of Regan... So if this follows a presidental request, it seams highly improbable that the Clinton whitehouse would push forward the plan to give the excutive branch more power
I'm understanding, but finding incredulous, your point.
Are you saying that the GWB Administration (via former members of the Reagan and GHWB Administrations) pre-conspired with the NSA, to have this ready to go so soon after GWB came into office?
I think the missing checks in the 2 party system, is that they know all the power the opposing party grabs will eventually be passed back to your party. Theirfore they like to expose these policys, get the other party to defend it (if they look a little bad, perfect) so that it is well establshed for them to use, and build on when the pendulum swings back to the democrats.
So Bush takes office, the NSA starts wiretapping everybody?
Is there any evidence from TFA that the Bush Administration ordered the NSA to do this?
Such evidence may appear in the future, but as of now, I don't think we can honestly assert that Bush ordered the NSA to monitor all domestic traffic.
Why? "seven months before the Sept. 11, 2001" is Feburary 2001, when Bush had only been in office 1 month. The timeline seems too compressed, since, absent war, these kinds of policy decisions can take a long time to formulate. Thus, if any administration did prompt this, it would have been Clinton.

Linux's most popular filesystem still limits you to under 32K directories at one level in a directory.
Something's wrong with your data layout if you need to put 32,767 directories at a single level.
That's over four grand just for the disks without controllers, never mind the broadband you need. Do tell where you can get that on unemployment benefits...

You run it across the aggregate of file stores making up the cluster filesystem
Does that mean that the "filesystem" is broken into chunks and spread across all the nodes in the cluster?
the current administration here in America could fill it up.
Blah blah blah I hate Bush blah blah Bush is Evil blah blah blah I have no independent thoughts blah blah blah.
Build the storage, and SOMEBODY will fill it up, probably the government (not necessarily just the current administration by the way) with tracking every inane detail of our lives
Man, where have you been the past 10 years? Credit card companies, banks, insurance companies, big retailers (Wal-Mart, Blockbuster, NetFlix, Amazon, etc, etc, etc), toll road authorities, airlines, they all track everything you do.
The government doesn't have to track you, they just ask the private sector to turn over their (the private sector's) detailed data.

I'd trust Ext2 (and derivatives - Ext3 is Ext2 with journaling on top) again. I've lost data more than once on Ext2
While ext3 definitely started as a fork of ext2, I'm pretty sure that it's been totally rewritten by now.
Well I just found out that beta2 broke the very complicated web based solution we develop where I work. And guess what, now I have uninstalled beta2 the bloody thing still doesnt work.
It's a BETA, God Dammit!!!! What the fsck to you expect????????????

Nothing. I'm an atheist.
However, Christians traditionally have believed that Satan is The Enemy, the one out to tempt humans into Sin. But you knew that, right?
Is this the new bible? All Christians should look for quotes from this movie on how to live their life.
I went back and re-read my post, but didn't see words remotely related to inferring that The Devil's Advocate is a guide to Christian living.
Your post raises so many questions.
Only in someone who does not read, and jumps to conclusions.
In other words, and generalized, men, especially young men.
The Christian would say that the Devil uses any weakness to ensare the mortal soul.
The last(?) line in the movie Devil's Advocate http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118971/ is a perfect example of this:No need for computers. In his moment of moral triumph, the heroic young lawyer does himself in.
That's the flawed logic. The correct aphorism is: an idle mind is the Devil's workshop. Without pressing familial responsibilies to keep their minds and hands occupied, young people too easily get in trouble.
