  1. Re:This is interesting... on Internet Hunting · · Score: 1

    Unless this system has some kind of visual identification system that is far superior than what is in the public sector, I don't see any reason why a person connected to the system couldn't shoot a real "hunter" who strays into the hunting grounds. One less redneck.

    If that's a markov chain text generator, you'll get better results if you use a larger granual size (i.e. find every word that follows the last two or three words).

    The only problem with that is that sometimes it'll get stuck in a loop, so you need to have a fallback to a smaller granual size if you generate fewer than say three elements that match your requirements.

  7. Re:Have you read the Bible from cover to cover? on Atlantis Found. Again. · · Score: 1

    I have read the bible front to back, plus various apocrypha.

    I believe it was written by various men. Of that you can not argue. Even your second choice, that it is the word as inspired by God on High, admits that it was written by the hand of man.

    So, what was your point again?

    1. The gospels were written down "before" the council of Nicene and we still have the manuscripts from "before" the council
    I can get behind this statement. However, you still don't speak to the acurracy of manuscripts. Also, if you analyze the gospels themselves you find a lot of evidence that the gospels were written from earlier source materials that we do not have access to.
    3. Many of those "apocryphal" books are available to be read by anyone who wishes to view them. If you did read them, you would see why they were not canonized as they did not "fit" in with general theme of the gospels and the epistles from the "apostles". Those epistles were written down before the end of the first century and are in agreement with the core of the four gospels.
    Perhaps true after the establisment of the printing press and the decline in power of the Catholic church. Fact is, through most of the interviening time between the present and Constintine's time your average lay person did not have access to such books.

    And if they did, they couldn't read it anyway.

    Also, there are is no "evidence" to back up your claim that there aren't lies and half truths. You are saying that the Christian Bible is absolute fact written by the hand of man by the will of a omnipotent, omniprescent God; I'm saying the burdon of evidence is on you.

    Also, what the fuck happened to #2?

    I made no assertion that the Christian Bible has been translated so many times that it has lost it's original meaning. What I did assert is that there are several different translations (seperate, although the lineage can be argued in my opinon, see one of the previous replies to your post in re: to Constintine and the counsul).

  11. Reminds me of... on Utah Desalinization Plant Causes Earthquake · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Reminds me of something I heard about a geothermal generator near Cloverdale, CA. They have at least one earthquake a week because the station pumps water down into the ground to create steam to power their turbines. Take a look at this earthquake map. It's a map of all earthquakes in the California/Nevada area for the past week. Check out the area around Cloverdale. There will ALWAYS be at least one quake per week in that area.

    The Torah are the five books of Moses. The Hebrew Bible (in Hebrew, Tanakh) consistes of the Torah, Neviim, and Ketuvim. Bible simply means a collection of books.

    Actualy, I should have said Christian Bibles, since there are more than one version of it (translations, additions/omissions). The reason I qualified it as the Christian Bible is so that the New Testement would be included, since the Old Testemant is also the basis of Jewish faith. And yeah, other faiths use the term Bible.

    I remember when I used to actualy use Opera. I think the only reason I used it at the time was because it supported tabs. Gradualy my intrest in it dwindled. It didn't support CSS properly, plugins were a hassle. I tried it again a year or two ago, and immediately deleted it. Nothing turns me off from a piece of software like a damned banner ad in the main window.
