Just adding to your explanation , the chief reason why they dont use logic sometimes ("to say that life evolved over millions of years is in direct conflict with phrases in the bible that say god created the earth in 7 days.") is
Their self confidence and recuperation after disaster mechanisms are firmly relied on their belief of god.Stronger the belief , the better their chances of being happy.Therefore they accept a blind statement that "Bible is word of god and its the only truth". Imagine if they dont follow this they are weakened in their overall acceptance and credibility and consequentially derive greater confusion to their minds..And obviuosly science currently doesnt have answer and so they better rely on their personal beliefs.. Well its just may be my imagination.
"It's the same as believing the Bible, just a little more rational because there's nothing that proves it's not true."
More rational???
That i would go to hell,cuz im non believer of Jesus. That a christian would counsel unsolicited preaching to others raised in different philosophy without understanding that such counselling starts with "Your existing beliefs are totally stupid "...That learning about other religions and respecting their ideals is foolish.. Is it like "Be a christian, cuz thats the way god wanted to be".How is christianity superior to other religions?That learning only Bible in schools and Insulting science by creationistic beliefs.. What so puzzles me is that the true christians i have met are wonderful in character and very friendly except when they get emotional with their spiritual beliefs.
there's nothing that proves it's not true
Earth is Flat. Creation period although evidence exists for claim that civilizations started before that. And may be many more,that i dont know now.
I agree SUSE is user friendly and YAST is awesome , however , the basic installation is so complex than Redhat.Redhat has easy isos to download , burn and install.However , I do not see easy installation procedure.
How would one expect to use SUSE if installation is so hard.Besides Redhat is already well known. May be its just me..
If you would notice , the cost of computer in india is almost the same as in USA.That is, a 500 $ PC is around 25000 rupees in India.Obviously US is atleast 5 times richer than India. The reason for this is hardware is imported from US,taiwan before assembled in india.Why not Microsoft shake hands with Intel to set up a mass producing company hardware company.This way , hardware cost is reduced and so people could buy computer for 5000 rupees which is 100$. Eventually if computer gets this cheaper , im pretty sure every other lower and mid middle class folks could buy computer and software piracy may be reduced..
Some times, such as announcing to Saddam that he had to allow unfettered nuclear inspector access by a certain date or face military action, you have to follow through, even if you change your mind (which I doubt Bush did), just so people know you mean business. Mr.Tanktalus , is it okay if you were born as iraqi and have ur home bombed , parents killed , sister and brother murdered and you are limping.oh btw , it is because BUsh is so consistent that he continues doing wrong even though he knows it is wrong.This kinda attitude may try to cover up wrong deeds, i bet all those wrong actions will have backlash for sure.Its not business,its a matter of Morality to fight the war.Think of 15000 civilians killed , will you be happy if you were iraqi????
If Americans can boast the ability to track the movement of any ant in Russia, why cannot they use technology to track movements of alqaeda cell and most importantly bin laden?
Sorry I disagree. Highre prices surely mean higher quality in the democratic world.However, Higher price doesnt mean higher effectiveness of treatment.I mean value for the cost.
Im an Indian myselves and i have no clue how is India *SUDDENLY* doing well in IT business , Nuclear independence, Satellites,Students exported abroad , and now medical excellence.
Why is this all only now? Where is India heading to ? Im jus curious.

Coffee is Addictive

Could you go to offce without brushing teeth or taking bath . They are daily activities , failure of which our lives are not quite pleasant.
Coffee is obviously one such thing.Let them place coffee in a balanced diet...Happy?
I dont know how many would agree..I beleive an average american cares for electing officers in his state.Example , If he like the republican candidate in his town , he votes for Republicans and thats it.Bush being good or bad for america is not a convincing thought process. This is becuz they think the gov at the higest level is not going to impact their lives better than the level that they vote for
In short , Bush or kerry wont matter...Its the body that choose.Crying against Bush or Kerry wouldnt make any difference.
I would like to remind everyone, that 50% of indian population is below 25 years of age and only 54% of popuation are literate.Slowly this is improving , people are imbibing english into their lifestyle more.After Bangalore, New Delhi,Mumbai Hyderabad,Chennai there are other cities like pune,Ahmedabad , Coimbatore,Mysore coming up big time to meet up the standards.upLittle towns have already become better.Villages are improving etc.Looks like workforce is improving
2.Upcoming alternative IT workforce:
Already there are overwhelming amount of indians whose undergrad major is mechanical or electrical or some other non comp-sci degree but still they are seduced for quick bucks in IT.Honestly if u have good aptitudde and some basics of programming, one can sustain in IT field with hardwork.I was thus saying there is an upcoming workforce there.
3.upcoming Quality English Workforce:
Importance of english is overstressed in schools.Indians watch a whole lot of English movies , listen to Music and its almost a status symbol if you are good with english.And besides , Nerds are the heroes in India.You would watch Indian heroes in movies are projected to have a strong academic background.Anyone who can bring big bucks to the family is hailed and treated like a hero.So English workforce is improving tremendously.India has 18 official languages.Jus imagine if People in US speak so many languages.Languages come with diverse culture,customs etc.And English is undoubtedly the uniting factor among diverse Indians.All Work is documented in English becuz most of them dont know many regional languages.
4.Content with Salary : Most of the people with non comp sci majors who work in other areas earn half as comp sci workers.And if an IT employee asks for more money , that reform would not be easy cuz there are so many talented Indians wthout jobs stalking streets day and night to bring themselves and their families to a decent existence.Btw , The salaries provided to many IT people are very high already.They enjoy superior life style.The point is "Salary increase is minimal and would not be a burden to investros".So in the long run, they are stable and cheap.
I would still invest in India , cuz
1.Abundant and still latent talented English speaking IT workforce 2.Upcoming Quality of workforce 3.Democracy and approachable govt policies. 4.Already Established. 5.Investment cost is low and not likely to grow higher and would propagate to different unexplored places.

Cars dont have intelligence , i think to do actions beyond one's control.And if they do they mean Life and Death.However Computers are injected intelligence enough to fool customers even when they know what they are doing.

"I have faith that God exists because there is no proof - if I had proof then there would be no need for faith. This is a common usage of the word faith, but is utterly incorrect."
Firstly this is not a common usage of Faith.I think most people would think this way."Im wondering how,why nature exists and how external forces influence us.Then there is a quest to seek in order to control the forces that control us".Therefore one does not negate some possibilty of External force {commonly called god}.Now here , you could either choose to shape your belief either to follow a religion to get closer to god and try to understand your existence or simply dont care abt it.
"Not because you don't know if he can do it - you have faith in him precisely because he has demonstrated and proven himself worth trusting. This is the correct definition of Biblical faith."
Interesting statement , did u make a record from every instant of time what god has done to you.Looks like you know exactly what god is doing every moment in your life."Confirmation bias" is the right word to describe your belief.
" There is one thing that can't be outsourced. Culture."
what about christian Proselytization in china that outsources religion and culture
American missionaries are spreading their propaganda in china big time and they dont do much of it in USA.
Religion is intertwined with culture.So isn that the thing that is outtsourced? Chineses govt needs English tutors to train chinese for strong economic muscle.American missionaries are providing that.
Anti america to the international community means against american govt policies and not American people.
Im too surprised why Americans dont understand the simple fact that rulers are not representative of the majority of citizens when it comes to making decisions that affect international community.To me,American people are very compassionate , fun loving and helpful to foreigners.However the govt is not the same in entirety although jingostic american supporters would try to mod me down.
Many around the world blame governments and not the people cuz its not always people who decide the decisions of the government.Im sure that people all over the world admire Americans in general for their hardworking and succesful personalities.However not many are too agreeable to the govt policies.And i would logically assume Americans would understand that.Not Always !!!
I blame it on media coverage though !! They throw light on so much scum on other countries and not have the time and patience to explore the beauties beneath.Very few times CNN saya something good abt other countries.
1.Operating Cost:::Annoying ads , i dont understand how CMEsys.exe constantly runs even if Altnet and kazaa are shut down.Basically kazaa gives us files at the cost of Eating selfishly some RAM and Consuming RAM to operate.Besides , most of the pain comes when we by mistake click an ad which screws up entire operating experience.
2.Service Quality:::Search capacity is patheticallly limited in free versions.Yu dont observe more than 3 sub searches now a days.So I would think Kazaa's service quality has degraded.
3.Security Risk:::And i hear that someone is spying to check illegal file sharing.So it comes with a security risk too.
4.Kazaa runs only on WIndows..How selfish..Im sure it would get big popularity if used in linux.. Well,let's c..
When i learnt abt Linux, I dont know for some reason i chose Redhat.Looking back , Its the marketing for Redhat that pushes into the lead whne the compettition is tight.Easiness of use , good looks , robustness , help and support were the features that i relished.I never compared Redhat with other flavors as i was busy customizing my linux to defeat the co existence of windows.
And i never looked back for other Flavors.
Moral is : First impression is the Best impression.
If things go by as Dr.Kalam envisioned , Im pretty confident that Open source will gain the biggest momentum worldwide.This is because
1. A majority of Indian techies, might start using some variant of linux in the upcoming years.Rigt now,Most of them are still using Windows only.{ I observed that India ranks very poor in the number of registered Linux users.} http://counter.li.org/reports/place.php reports that there are very few linux users when compared to linux friendly nations.ofcourse i agree this may not be prefectly linear relationship in reality.Neverthelss , a reasonable estimate
3.Once Linux Fever is caught up in India , we could expect a good increase in the number of open source projects , growth in popularity and confidence of open source projects.This will impact other developing nations , if they would realise the vast savings of the decision.
4.MS share in India will dwindle big time.. This would affect its revenue as India is such a huge market.
5. Indian colleges then would advance to use and advocate open source platforms and resources.This would help the indian progammers extend their scope and may improve their knowledge standard.Right now , most colleges in semi urban areas use proprietary operating systems.
May be im over optimistic.. Downside: 1. MS is silently attracting the techies and indian public by offering donations to the poor,AIDS victims etc..These will go down eventually.
2.This mite stir up some greedy and filthy politicians who get good bribes from corporate leaders and may work for delay in progress.
It's still a challenge for India to come up in technological arena with the onus of poor political stress on it. Lets see where this takes !!!

One must understand , that the "hate" message from a news source is probably a "inspiring or great" message for some other readers.In other words, "hating" is not ***wrong*** always.It is the first step to understand someone.
It is not quite right to practically preach everyone to love every other guy.We all live in "survival of the fittest world and we would not hesitate to kill someone to feed our starving stomach".Ofcourse i meant that in the extreme instance.
