I don't think it's logically consistent to say that God created everything
Since when has anything to do with Christianity and related religions been logically consistent? Anyone with experience of tripping can see where the creators of the religions got many of their ideas.
The flaw with the free will argument is that if God created everything, then that includes concepts, e.g. good and evil. If he hadn't created evil, then you'd still have free will, but wouldn't be able to be evil. Therefore he purposely created evil, which means he's either insane or nasty, neither properties in anyone worthy of worship.
Personally, I all think it's bumpf, knowing as I do that the life I experience is merely one of the infinitesimal facets making up both the universe and my true being (both being one and the same).
Shit, you could fuck a shitload of the fucking shit by damning clusterfucks of 'fuck', 'shit', 'ass', 'damn', damnit, and your damn shitty fucks (is, in, a, the, and shit).
I see you've mastered the use of British English then;)
"It is an important and popular fact that things are not always what they seem. For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much -- the wheel, New York, wars and so on -- whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man -- for precisely the same reasons." - DNA
Ok Don't we just call this Konfabulator already? The guys/girls/dude/chick that wrote konfabulator then had the idea taken by Apple, don't seem to get much credit. Am I missing something?
Yes - the fact that Konfabulator was just a glitzy rip off of Apple desk accessories in the first place.
I found graphical performance to be stuttery and sluggish, and sound to be lagged on an 800Mhz G4 iBook. It also meant having to mess around firing up X11, esd, etc. before being able to use the emulator. Compared to running it on my 200MHz SGI Octane, it was a complete joke.
I find it interesting that the GP2X has a native port of VICE already, whereas OS X is still shackled by a version that runs extremely poorly through X11 and ESD.
Shame, used to be my favourite emulator too. Might take a look at porting it properly in my Copious Free Time - hopefully the speed with which it was ported to the GP2X indicates that it's easier than the VICE team claim to port.
Until you integrate the decrypter into the driver circuitry, and the driver circuitry into the same semiconductor as the panel itself. Then you have to do semiconductor scale soldering, which I'd imagine would foil all but the most 1337 pirate.
I think I speak for an awful lot of lesbians when I ask the following:
Wake me up when I get to play a spiky short haired, massive bosomed dyke in shorts, vest top, and Doc Martens, saving a delightfully delicate lipsticked lovely from grunting apes of men, with maybe a cute boy in a dress as the comic relief sidekick. *sage nod*
It's the same difference as between being a street preacher, and being the person who gives them a bloody good slapping whilst shouting "SHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUP! WE DON'T CARE!".
How is a child supposed to know what they like and dislike if they aren't exposed to a wide range of options?
They might hate it, in which case, when the next present giving celebration comes round, get them something else.
They might love it, in which case, you can choose different authors, representing different arms of scifi, safe in the knowledge they'll love it.
Pandering to their immature whims at the expense of broadening horizons and life experience is exactly what has lead to the stereotypical spoilt ignoramus that represents the youth of today. The sooner they learn you don't always get what you want, the better - if they discover a new passion in the process, well, that's even better.

They also have politics - they're fascists! After all, I've never seen a Police Cat!

Absolutely fantastic idea, considering I was sterilised at age 20! ^_^

If a create a worm, then I'm responsible for the damage it causes.
God created the devil, therefore he's responsible for the damage he causes.
Therefore God is evil. QED
That's not appreciating the beauty of creation, that's appreciating
being in a comfortable situation.
Have you actually looked out of a window lately?
Your "beautiful creation" is, at it's core, nasty. Filled with pain, suffering, stupidity and pointlessness.
Anyone responsible for creating it should be given the middle finger, not worshipped.
By the time he's finished with C++0x\n==%d, I bet the specification will look suspiciously similar to that of Common Lisp!

Heh. Why am I not surprised? Seems to be the US all over ;)
British news for British people.
If you want news that caters to your particular foibles, why don't you browse one of the many high quality American news web sites? *snigger*
Tomatoes are vegetables, according to the U.S. Supreme Court (Nix vs Hedden, 1893).
That's as maybe, but that's not the definition used by intelligent people in the rest of the world.
And the BBC, being Brits prefer to call them by the UK names.
TBH, you're lucky they didn't call you a Septic. ;)

Why do you think they're trying to phase out CRTs? An LCD display is a lot harder to crack.
Do they not teach men these days to tuck? It's so much more pleasing to the eye than the usual asymmetric bulge.

Y'know, I have an image of four cyborgs walking down the road, wearing big trenchcoats, and pulling out miniguns...
Dude, this isn't even close to Commodore 64 vs. Timex/Sinclair Spectrum!
