corporate passwords are more venerable to brute force attacks
Did you mean more venerable than brute force attacks? I have yet to see a brute force attack venerate anything, but I admire passwords more than attacks.
Though I believe in Christ, I don't go around converting others, especially not at gunpoint. I don't tell others they'll burn in hell. I try to bring others to my faith by being active in it and being a decent person, and by witnessing in subtle ways.
However, this game is called Left Behind: Eternal Forces. Not Crusade 2006, not Grand Theft Torquemauto, not anything like that. It is set in the Tribulation, post-Rapture. Those who were upstanding Christians have already left. Those who are Christians now were either unbelievers or weak, and have realized the faith because they understood what just happened. Because of the Rapture, it's pretty certain (unless you willfully blind yourself) that Christianity, and in particular the book of Revelation, was correct.
Given this setup, it's entirely reasonable to believe that those who don't convert to Christianity will suffer greatly. And therefore, it's doing a favor — with good reason, because we know Revelation is right and is happening — to forcibly convert others, or at best prevent them from keeping others in the dark.
I would never approve of such a game set in the present. But if we know that Revalation is not only true but is to be literally interpreted and is happening now, the rules change a lot.
Honest question, I haven't read much of the new testament, and lots of smart people seem able to reconcile Christianity with homosexuality, so I expect I'm missing something important here.
I don't believe it is appropriate to be an active homosexual and a Christian. The recent papal encyclical did a decent job of this: you can be attracted to people of the opposite sex, but unless you're married to them in a church-sanctioned marriage, you can't have sex with them. Same with people of the same sex. You can be attracted, but you're called to chastity.
I don't believe it's my mission to tell homosexuals they're going to burn in Hell. If they're chaste, I have no reason to, and even otherwise I have no right. What God really thinks of homosexuals -- or pre-marital fornicators or anyone else -- and whether they can reconcile their actions with God is between themselves and God, not me at all.
"I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me." John 14:6
"And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd." -John 10:16
"I and the Father are one." -John 10:30
"Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father? Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works." -John 14:9-10
We are not capable as human beings to judge the actions of our Lord, or constrain them to the box of human thought.
God could have sent His angel to Muhammed to create the religion of Islam. Since "I am the way" and "I am the Father" and Muslims worship (arguably) the same Father, there is no conflict.
On the other hand, perhaps He didn't, and Muhammed was a false prophet.
This is where faith and the working of the Holy Spirit in your heart come in. If you can believe in your heart that a certain religion is correct, you ought to have faith in it.
Why are you Christian? Why are you not of any other faith? Can you truly believe your faith is valid if you haven't considered any others?
That's one of the things that always amazed me about OS X. You can fault it for various reasons, but by god, you shut the lid on your iBook, and five seconds later, it's in zzz mode (with a battery life of about two weeks - I tested that once). Open the lid up, go "one, one thousand..." and it's awake and ready to use.
That's not my experience. On a 2nd-revision-ish MacBook Pro, it takes about 5 seconds to wake up from sleep, and considerably longer for it to initialize LoginWindow if I've locked the screen -- and sometimes LoginWindow doesn't even come up, and the only way to fix it is sleep and wake it again.
And on a tangerine iBook, it takes even longer. (Of course with OS 9 it takes at least 30 seconds, but that's different.)
parenting styles. When I was a teenager, if I tried to impose rules like this on my parents
Think about the kind of parent who would go hide in the bathroom and use her BlackBerry. I think it's fair...if the parents are decent, they run the house, otherwise their kids run the house.
Can anyone here honestly tell me that they can get me access to a given business's clients database in the next 48 hours ?
No, but I can get access to a given business's clents database in 48 hours plus flight time, given an appropriate plane ticket and an appropriate change of clothes.
Well, ID does not require Yahweh to be the creator. It just attempts to demonstrate that a Creator is logically necessary.
I know this sounds logically weak (as do a lot of topics dealing with religion), but a long time ago it was a belief of science that the solar system was heliocentric and a belief of religion (at least the Catholic Church) that it was geocentric. Now we know it's heliocentric, and it's a concern of neither science nor religion. Similarly, if we can somehow know that there's a Creator, it's a matter of neither science or religion - religion will become knowing who the Creator is and how to worship him.
Note what's important here is to keep the compiler from modifying any part of the original 32-bit value.
Moreover, when compiled, the optimizer does the right thing - since access to the variable is actually a memory dereference (or a register access, but we'll ignore it for now), *(int*)& means "tell the compiler this is an int, but don't do anything in the code", whereas (int) means "create a new temporary that's the int part of the variable".
You had FINGERS? You lucky dog. We used to sit around at night, in the freezing cold, dreaming about what it would be like to have fingers...
You had COLD!? Back in my day, everything was at thermodynamic equilibrium....we didn't have a concept of temperature since there was never heat transfer....
Well, Apple has let you burn Audio CDs of purchases off the iTunes store since the beginning. I don't know where you came up with the idea that you cannot burn a CD.
He's saying that yes, you can burn a CD - the capability is there and always has been there, but there never was the legal right that you may burn a CD - and thus Apple's DRM, in some ways at least, allows more abilities than the law protects rights.
Not all Indians speak english, they mostly speak Hindi or Urdu, english is spoken by well educated people, and they probably won't be the ones working in data entry centers for $4 a day.
Ahem.
Hindi and Urdu may be "official languages", but thanks to centuries of British rule, English is the lingua franca of the land. Each state has its own regional language, which isn't well-known outside that state. My parents, who fit the definition of "well educated", would have trouble holding a conversation in Hindi, but they spoke English quite well even before they moved to the States.
Point being, I would think that most unemployed Indians know enough English to answer your questions. I would also assume that the lingua-franca status of English is not unique to just India, and at least when people start using the OLPCs, they'll know enough to answer "Please solve - what is seventeen mulitpleid by two".
(I would also think that I could write a script to answer your questions in about one day if I felt like it, but I have no financial incentive to do so and that's another matter.)
If someone is touting Viagra, get in touch with the highest marketing authority you can at Pfizer.
Do you really think Pfizer is using the spam to get "brand recognition" of Viagra? It's just some third party that managed to get a lot of Viagra on the cheap and is using Pfizer's legitimate marketing to his advantage.
At the least, why would the more recent mails say e.g. "V1agra |_ev!tra (ialis"? It's not like they're all made by Pfizer.
is if it's possible to run Aqua / Quartz apps rootless on an X11 desktop (exactly the opposite of what X11.app does). This way I can use xlogin, GNOME, etc. for the default desktop UI, but still be able to run Mac-specific programs.
I don't think this is, per se, a bug. If you save a password for www.myspace.com, and there's a password field on www.myspace.com/*, the password manager should fill the field in. When they added the auto-fill feature (as opposed to, say, click a toolbar button to fill in passwords) they should've considered this.
And thus I think the million bug-finding eyes will be considerably less bleary if there are a million exploit-writing fingers. When you have anything that turns security into convenience like this, you should say "Hm. This could be exploited by foo method, and if this exploit becomes viable - if there's some popular website that allows arbitrary HTML - we should remove this feature for our users' sake."
But because the perpetrator held in his mind the belief that the recipient was a minor, this is a crime, according to the FL statue. The belief, his thoughts, make the crime.
Yeah, redefining terms isn't very useful.
A "thoughtcrime" is where the crime is the process of thinking. It is for having illegal thoughts. I can think all I want about seducing 13yo girls over IM and it's not illegal. The moment I attempt to do so, it's an action. Sending messages intended to seduce 13yo girls is a punishable action.
Otherwise, you can defend someone seducing and raping a 13yo by claiming that since the user registered on an over-18 service that just asked for birth year (like half the stuff on the web), even though she acted like a 13yo, claimed to be in middle school, etc. you had it in your mind that she was 19 and just looked young. If you use your definition of "thoughtcrime" you also have to consider the inverse of a "thoughtdefense". With the traditional, correct interpretation of the term, "thoughtdefense" is where you simply don't think an illegal thought. It has nothing to do with any action.
It would require something much more process intensive, such as similarity matching....not necessarily. Just use something like...oh...conventional DRM?
Every time you create a prim it gets a hidden field, that's a signature with LL's private key of something unique to the prim (like a GUID) and your UID (or GID if it's group-owned). When you give it away (directly or recursively, as part of a larger object), LL will give the object a new signature. If you make the object freely copiable, the signature will be of the GUID and the null string. If you try to copy an object that doesn't belong to you (or the null string), the server will refuse. If you sell an object, its copy-ownership stays with you, but the conventional ownership (for rezzing, etc.) goes to the purchaser - so only you can authorize copies of it but only the purchaser can do anything with it.
Since you can only create signatures with LL's private key, but you can verify them with their public key, this should give pretty much tamper-proof ownership of objects with a literal "copy right".

Let me point it out for you: you're assuming you're right and that non-christians are wrong. That's not tolerance, that's religious blindness.
I believe there is one God, Yahweh, who came to Earth in the form of Jesus Christ.
I also believe that I should respect all people regardless of religious beliefs.
If I didn't believe the former, I wouldn't be Christian. If I didn't believe the latter, I wouldn't be tolerant.
There isn't a contradiction here. I can respect someone without thinking they're as right as I am.
