i'm using a p1 200 as a webserver, works just fine, and it cost the price of a new hd (i could have gotten by with a used one i already had, but i wanted to replace it)
maybe they should have specific classes for teaching technology, and let the other learning be a focus outside of those classes. technology tends to get in the way with the learning process unless it's tactfully used (showing simulations in physics is probably the best i use can think of, and illustrations in general if they are animated or aren't in the book).
personally, i think it's easier to give a presentation without powerpoint (chalkboard/overhead), to write a paper by hand (writing comes more natural than typing even though it's slower for me), to write math by hand (the notation is complicated, but i do use a graphing calculator for non-simple computations), and to listen to the instructor (it's hard when they're fiddling with a computer). it's not that i don't know how to use computers, i'm 17 and grew up operating them, it's just that i feel they're more of a hinderance than the graphing calculators and specific purpose analog equivalents (chalkboard, notebook, etc.)
although they're simply wonderful for looking up information.
and don't worry about teachers not embracing the tech, as you get more young ones in they'll do fine. my chem teacher last year did a wonderful job using powerpoint for presentations, but i still like his whiteboarded notes better.
they would know better than others. it's more like a rich man saying money isn't important, but going on to say how much money he has to aid others in receiving his point.... or something.
You mean that they want to force their views onto other people. Which is exactly what the other poster was complaining about. He was asked how to distinguish people who wanted to force their beliefs on others, compared to those who were happy to practice their beliefs without harassing others who don't believe. He responded "look outside the abortion clinics." Then, you reply that you like the way they try to force their beliefs on vulnerable women. Thereby providing evidence for the point the other poster was trying to make.
i did say they offer it. they have an ad in the yellow pages, they don't force anyone to come or even come back.
of course it would be hard to please someone who wants you to sit back and say/do nothing at all. one aspect of christianity is the belief that actions should follow faith. they believe that they are helping these women, and it's not "oh don't have an abortion that's evil" etc. they provide real counseling and support. this in itself is part of a larger effort that gives free medical screenings and distributes donated clothing and food.
But Christians aren't supposed to use the government (Ceasar) to enforce their beliefs on others. They are supposed to forgive the sinners, not try to make their sinning illegal. It's up to Christians to follow Christian rules out of their own sense of faith.
They probably wouldn't agree with paying for the government to provide benefits to married gay couples.
you're right about personal responsibility, and the thing is forgiving those who sin against you, not just people in general (it's their business).
i was thinking simple literary comprehension tests would greatly increase the programming required to subvert them. and those little association things from the standardized tests you know orange:fruit::celery:[answer here], writing it out might be a good idea for those though, so more people get it
Satan was testing Jesus, and he resisted; that's the major theme of that entire section. The message in that particular temptation is that you shouldn't test God. Jesus even replies with that answer.
Trusting in God to provide for your needs is a different story. The comparison with lillies was made to point out that God provides beautiful "clothing" for these plants that don't work and have a short lifespan, so why should you be worried about what to wear? you're worth much more than a plant.
check out the passage here near the bottom of the page
one of the ways that i believe God provides for us is by giving us talents and abilities that we can use to (for example) get a job and buy clothes, but we shouldn't get caught up in material possesions.
"All you have to do is walk by an abortion clinic to see the religious wackos preaching hatred towards women using the service."
or maybe they want those children to live... i really like the approach one christian volunteer group in our city takes: they offer free counseling to women who are considering abortions
"Or... take a vote/ poll on those Americans that are anti-gay rights (marriage) and I'd venture to say a good figure of those votes would be from religious groups (those peaceful Christian non-judgmental types)."
if they believe the Bible, it says not to judge people. christians are supposed to be able to judge if an action is right or wrong. they believe that it's a sin for two men to marry, and that's why they don't support it.
at first i thought they just repackaged a carbon aerogel capacitor;)
i've bought about ten of the 1 farad version of these "super capacitors" (2.5v, about the size of a toothpaste cap) and hot glued them to one of those mini rc cars (one in place of the battery, the rest wherever they would fit on the outside) and soldered them in parrallel to the motor. it went as far as the one little battery would allow the car to go, but it charged in about a second (i charged them with a 2v 5a sla battery). that was a lot of fun, but i don't think caps would be a practical battery replacement for anything but really low power devices with solar cells (or some other recharge mechanism) attached. they primarily use caps like that (high capacitance, low voltage) for memory backup. they have a really high discharge/recharge rate
I'm undecided as to whether I'll use just the laptop, the laptop and buy a desktop mac on x86 later or if I'll stick with my powerbook and have a windows desktop.
i'd say just upgrade the laptop and buy a less expensive windows comp, but i don't know how much that will help you out
i totally want a picture of a whole bunch of people listening to ipods with the same default earphones and a little apple logo (they put their logo on everything) with the words "think different" in the corner.

that is a really cool twist on this topic
well done sir
they don't believe in giving aid for homosexuals to practice their lifestyle; tax money will go to protect gay marriage if/when it is allowed.
and it probably will be, if enough people keep pushing it (which they are doing)
something with a cf slot, a bunch of cards, and a case for them?

nah, it's more like robbing a bank without a mask and simply paying no attention to the cameras
:) thanks
except that so many people do it, and so few people even read the logs.
the anecdote made me feel warm and fuzzy inside
odds are that most movies are copyrighted
common sense
or i should say works on me every time, i only do networking stuff at home, and it's sufficient, but nothing stunning.
and if you do go for the new setup, i would certainly recommend stressing functionality over appearance wherever possible.
as for an easy way to make it look awesome, just make sure people can see neatly organized bundles of cable and lots of them. works for me every time
dual monitor idea heartily seconded
make sure you use xinerama or the nvidia equivalent, so people can drag one window across both screens; people love doing that at first.

then they can ask their parents to help
never talk about any country's politics unless you want to bash them
political hogwash is such a dreary affair...

nah, nuclear power is much more efficient anyway.
i hope they come up with a feasible fusion plant sometime soon
the new thing is two big graphics cards
and that's the most positive thing i've seen in this thread. bravo to you sir!
someone should set up a site with links to all the free music they find
i'm going to google and see if i can find someone doing this already
