There is no book named "Revelations" in the Bible. You may be thinking of the book of "Revelation", which is short for the "Revelation of St. John the Divine".
Scientology is the creation of a science fiction writer's imagination. When he had a best seller with "Dianetics", he decided he could make some money (and keep the money) if he made a religion out of his dreams.
As a teenager in the late 1960s I investigated Scientology as I did many other things. They sent me literature which I read. It quickly became apparent to me (a teenager) that money was the real object of L. Ron's religion. And I (a teenager) wanted no part of it.
If a teenager can understand that Scientology is hogwash, bullshit and the work of Satan, what does that tell you about adults who believe it?
I've lived a successful life without Scientology. And I got to keep my money (except for that portion that the government steals from me.)
It is understandable why there are so many zombies out here spewing spam 24 hours a day. Nobody has a clean machine and there is no way to obtain one without reformatting the hard drive and reinstalling the minimum.
I'm fairly knowledgable about home computers (I bought my first one in 1976) and I have a weird feeling in my gut that there is something on this computer that shouldn't be there. But all of the tools I've tried (antivirus, antispyware, etc.) have found nothing wrong.
I coined a word a while back: filthify, v., to give a computer access to the Internet.
So, you would rather write code and tests rather than code and comments?
Sounds to me like more work and less information available for the poor fool who has to maintain that code after you leave.
And WTF do tests have to do with writing and maintaining code? You have to test everything regardless of how pretty or informative your code is.
All of the programmers (I wouldn't call any of them "software engineers") whom I've worked with the past 25 years thought that writing comments to their code was for wimps. (Much like the pickup truck drivers who think their balls will shrink if they turn on the headlights on a rainy day.)
Frankly, they just don't want to be bothered writing maintainbale code because it takes time and requires some intelligence. (I'm talking about you, Bob, Ron, John, Dan or whoever's left at FAPD.)
To be on the safe side, users should, in the authors' opinion, deregister all unnecessary URIs - without, however, elucidating which are superfluous.'"
Or without elucidating what a URI is.
I'm willing to bet $100 that 100 percent of the viewers here do not know the meanings of 100 percent of the acronyms that are so blatantly presented on this web site.
When an acronym is used the first time in a news article is it too much to ask that it be spelled out?
"The RIAA is opposing Ms. Lindor's request for discovery into the agreements among the record company competitors by which they have agreed to settle and prosecute their cases together, by which she seeks to support her Fourth Affirmative Defense (pdf) alleging that 'The plaintiffs, who are competitors, are a cartel acting collusively in violation of the antitrust laws and of public policy, by tying their copyrights to each other, collusively litigating and settling all cases together, and by entering into an unlawful agreement among themselves to prosecute and to dispose of all cases in accordance with a uniform agreement, and through common lawyers, thus overreaching the bounds and scope of whatever copyrights they might have....As such, they are guilty of misuse of their copyrights.'"
Gasp...gasp...gasp
You couldn't break it up into smaller sentences, eh?
Most of the posts in this thread apparently were made by cretans.
The article in question was obviously written as humor.
The article in question was indeed funny.
The long sentences are a device to show impatience, to show that the writer's mind is working faster than his typing fingers. (Has any of you ever heard the Old Philospher? Not the same, but a similar device is used: successive questions.)
To top it off, some posters even found this thread as an opportunity to bash Microsoft!?! (I'm beginning to believe that most viruses, trojans and worms are written by *nix creeps in a misguided effort to prove that Microsoft is evil and that users of Microsoft products are stupid for using those products.)
Finally, someone who is not afraid to tell the truth about open source.
I've always felt that "open source" was a philosophy that came out of Berkley in the 1960s.
I have a vision of hundreds of unpaid open source programmers chained together and to their desks, sitting in front of computers, producing free software.
Excuse me, did I say free? The distributors of that "free" software, of course, get paid. They know that "free" software will get nowhere unless there is some barter arrangement.
But, then, I'm probably just a fud, idiot, moron, clueless.
Boy, you've got a burr up your butt. Microsoft became a "monopoly" because it sold products that people wanted. (My guess is that you were still sucking your mommy's titty when Bill started the company.)
This will mean at least one more "background color" parameter with a different spelling and syntax. Probably will depend upon its location within the HTML page.
The HTML language is a gawdawful language for doing anything. And to top it off, it's been modified, added to, plugged into, and garbaged up relentlessly by people who apparently have no concept of what a language really needs to display web pages.
I'll wait for the whole Internet structure to be torn down and replaced with something logical and therefore easy to use and program.
Nah. He has an enter/return key on his keyboard.
It's just that SlashDot's "Post Comment" ignores it.
At the end of each of the sentences above I pressed my return key twice. (And here also.)
When is SlashDot gonna fix it?
Slashdot Mirror
Ah, censorship in the name of PC.
Doncha just love it?
I've copyrighted the phrase "fucking idiots"
Now I'm goint to sit back and get filthy rich.
And Debian is the plural for what...?
By the way, what are a Debian?

What you mean is that followers of other religions have a big long list of depraved acts to their names.
Simpletons frequently confuse the messenger with the message, but that doesn't excuse you of muddy thinking, Colin.
The author at that link knows neither Scientology nor Christianity.
Using its own form, I sent a message to Zango congratulating it on losing the lawsuit.
Why don't all of you do the same?

And the military applications are...?
"Here's the Popular Mechanics list all on one page."
Now, that's a unique idea. Saves the reader a lot of time.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, gulp, er, ha ha ha ha ha ha.
drinkypoo drinkytoo much.
AC, It matters to those of us who care about the language.
Were these really robots or were they simply radio-controlled devices...with a human in control?
Anybody there ever read "I, Robot" by Isaac Asimov? That series of short stories will enlighten you to what robots are/will be.
I've read a number of news articles regarding the .ani problem, but none of them has described what the damned problem is. Do any of you know?
Finally. Some wisdom on this forum.
Wow.
