  1. Re:Throw 'em Away on The Milky Way is Not a Spiral? · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I happen to believe both are possible. A creation usually comes from some previous substance and is formed into the final product. Just as a sculptor takes clay and creates a statue. Who is to say that God did not wait around for a few million years until the universe fell into place where he could create the heavens and the earth?

    The only true religion has to accept all truth, so they must accept science, but they can still believe that science does not understand some things and that it will eventually prove them right.

    The reason he was modded a troll was because some people followed the link and received an unwanted spoiler of the new harry potter book listing someone who died and who the half blood prince is. The link is a troll and no better than a goatse.

    "yet another thing to notice is that there isn't a single cross in those mormon temples. not one!"

    To be fair enough the Bible never actually makes mention that a cross should be the symbol for his church. To that end we believe that Jesus lives and we look past his death and at the resurrection.
    Our not having crosses in our churches or temples has nothing to do with wheather or not we are christians, meaning christ followers; so that argument is null.
    It is funny how so many people seem to worship this execution device and place this symbol so high and designate as the only mark that christians should be known by.

    Your other statements are interesting, I will have to look into them, but the last one is probably a large misunderstanding. In sectarian belief you have to accept Jesus as your saviour in order to be save. So you are saving yourself by accepting Jesus. When you bring another unto Christ you have helped save them, therefore being saviours ourselves, through Jesus Christ. I would think that anybody could see it in that sense.

  6. Re:I recall... on Effective C++, Third Edition · · Score: 0

    But what you are missing is the fact that ++c increments c first before all the other operations take place. Here is the program that I used to prove my concept:

    #include <iostream>

    using std::cout;
    using std::endl;

    int main(){
    for(int i=0;i<5;i++){
    int c=i;
    c+=c++ + ++c;
    cout<<c<<endl;
    }
    }

    The output being:

    4
    7
    10
    13
    16

    I learned about this in my beginning C class at a community college.

  10. Re:a tip on Blank Keyboard · · Score: 1, Informative

    I've been typing in Dvorak for about a year and am highly found of Vim. I often use a lot of their shortcuts all the time, it doesn't take too much getting used to, it's just relearning the shortcuts at a much higher pace than when you originally learned them.

    All in all I'm happy for the switch, not only do I type more fluently, but it also keeps people off my computer.

  18. Re:Is anyone else bothered by this? on Linux Has Fewer Bugs Than Rivals · · Score: 0

    I think what they were trying to get across was that, in this industry, the average is much higher than what they found in the Linux kernel. If Microsoft went with the industry average on bugs then in a ratio of bugs/line of code, Linux beats them with having only 985 bugs compared to what they /should/ expect to have, around 140,000, for that many lines of code.

    Just as we don't have oil refineries in every city, I think a solution to that may be shipping the H2 rather than the H2O. Seems to me that you could get a better shipping cost per usable fuel rate like that.

  25. It's not just about storage size on Hotmail Means to Double Gmail Storage · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The storage isn't the biggest reason why I love gmail so much, it's the features that it brings with it. The ability to search through my mail, the technique of orginization using labels, the conversations being kept together and easy to read. Doing active development and being active on mailing lists gets a lot easier when I can click on a conversation, read the last six emails in that thread and get up to speed on what the problem is. Hotmail may go to 2GB, but that's nothing without all the other features that gmail offers.
