I forgot to add an example of a Window manager that is good, vs. not good. I'll use your terminal with Emacs as an example. If I'm in KDE, and working in a session then need a new session, lets say to read a header file. I click the button, and know exactly where the window will pop up, and it will not be in the way of what I already have open. I don't have to move windows around, assuming I have enough resolution to hold 2 windows without overlap anyway. Even if I lack real estate, the second window pops up in a way where switching between them is cake.. no need to move windows around.
Now, if you don't have to change windows often you would not notice something so trivial. That little trivial item saves me time, and is a huge convenience. Gnome, Unity, XFCe, hell even MS Windows.. don't behave the same way. Window placement is adhoc at best, completely random at worst. Sure, it's 2 seconds to move a window from point a to point b. But KDE is built where I don't have to even think about it.
Sorry, Emacs is not an IDE of the same caliber as say KDevelop or Eclipse. Firefox alone? Try having to run rdesktop to get to email since most corporations are either on Lotus Notes or Outlook and you have to access a Windows session to get there. Lotus Notes does have a Linux client, but still. another button. Most T&M systems are Windows only as well. Chat client? Well, our company chat is Lync currently, the place before this was Sametime. Lync forces Windows, but at least Pidgin could handle the Sametime. Another button.
You never use a calculator? Sure, I can use "bc" but situational use of a GUI calculator is handy at times. Often I have to show numbers to others that find reading kalc output is way better than BC. Another button
Create presentations, spread sheets, write and save "doc" format? Sorry, emacs and Firefox can't do that. Oh wait, you mean have a Google App session up in a different Firefox and take more time to do my work than if I ran LibreOffice locally? More buttons.
Planner and Calendar, need something other than FF and Emacs for that also. Again, it's okay if your in Google land, but most are not. More buttons.
Then I usually run at least 5-6 terminal sessions for various purposes.
I seriously doubt that many of us can live on 2 buttons and 2 applications. Honestly, in 20 years working in IT this has never been the case with anyone I have worked with. If you can, more power to you. Just don't call yourself a majority.
Hard to say if you are the same AC as I responded to, even if Karma is broken it would be good to use your account so that people could know if this was a discussion or random posting. It does make a difference in formulating thoughts.
What you point at as option 3 is the same thing I pointed at, and assuming you are the same AC you kind of pissed on grasshoppa suggesting that very thing.
Now to your statement that small businesses never standardizing, I call bullshit. The reason they fail to have standards is because the people building them infrastructure have no vision, not because it's required to be a success.
To your Gentoo example, fine with me assuming that you have standardized on Gentoo for your Linux platform. If you have Ubuntu, then go to a 1 off Gentoo because it's got the best internet walk through.. well, you just shot your company in the foot. It's also a problem if you have to spend nearly as much money on the Gentoo solution as you would for a KVM solution. In most cases, those things are pretty damn cheap. So what you end up with in many cases is a solution lacking in support with a higher rate of failure, and when you add in man hours the solution costs just as much if not more than a brand new solution. I do realize that your example may not have been the best, however I have seen this exact one used and have created and shown presentations that solutions like the ones you suggest cost more than purchasing a KVM to start with.
Hang on a second, you just confused me. In one post you claim that it's lunacy to claim that the UN is being pushed as a world government.
"Yes, hearing that kind of loonie conspiracy theory presented with a straight face does bother me very much."
In this post, you say that you have no doubts that the UN is slowly transforming in to a supreme authority, which would exactly match the statement you call loonie.
The fact that the UN is slowly transforming into a supreme authority isn't secret at all
Are you saying that you believe there is no secrecy in the agenda pushing the UN to be a NWO authority, and without said secrets there is no conspiracy? If that is the case, it's not a rational thought process. That aside, it is very far from the truth.
You can rest assured, there is a tremendous amount of secrecy in the push to make the UN one of many NWO authorities. This is why it's being done covertly with mentions of new laws such as this, where no direct authority is granted. This is an indirect submission of authority if we allow it to happen, and covertly transfers power (which currently the UN does not have) to the UN against both the US Constitution and the founding criteria of the UN.
TV is not the only source of a concern. TV is the easiest way to brainwash the populace of course, but most surely is not the sole method that could be employed.
Somehow people got the idea stuck in their heads, that Linux HAS to be loved by the mere *users*... even the most incompetent (and loudest) ones.
If you want to get people off of MS products, isn't that the ultimate goal? Trust me, I am not saying "you" have to use what the consumer would. Generally we don't anyway. Even if I have to use Windows most people walking by my desk are puzzled by things like Xming, a few dozen putty terminals, etc.. etc.. The tools we need for our jobs are different than, lets say, a secretary.
Giving "you" the ability to have things that you want in a desktop is not bad in any way. But the default layer presented to a consumer should make it, in your words, "loved by the mere *users*". If it can't, or won't, then nothing will ever change.
Nah, I can't say I agree with you. The problem we have now in IT is that we have really only given ourselves 2 possible solutions, unlike what grasshoppa suggests as a third alternative. It currently goes like this.
Big contract houses and huge pay outs for everything. This could be Dell or HP, with full board support, iLO licenses, insight managers, etc... Oracle and IBM have the same thing. It's a fixed price for everything, and you have to order from the catalog for them to support you. Need a 1 off for something? 1 year and a million dollars later you may have a new set of reports on utilization. Yes, things that simple are horribly expensive and lengthy to get done when they are not in the catalog.
The only alternative I see outside of the above in big companies, is the "FFFA" method of IT support. Yes, a horrible Fucking Free For all, where every admin does their own thing. Guy 1 installs Gentoo on everything, someone else loads Ubuntu, some Windows admin gets everyone hooked in to using AD for Auth and $HOME dirs, another guy loads Fedora, another guy loads Suse. Every time a person quits to go fuck up a different site with the same mentality, things just get worse. A guy gets hired that does not know anything but NetBSD, and has a fit over all the disparate components. He builds an APT server and starts pushing NetBSD as the savior for the company. Meanwhile, a few other people left and now nobody knows what the fuck is going on. Someone suggests getting everyone on RedHat for standardization, but the Engineers and developers cry foul "My stuff won't work on anything but !".
New people come in and try to support the mess, but generally they last a few months at best.
Look, if it's your site and 20-30 machines who gives a shit as long as it's all the same. In a large environment where you have to have many people supporting all kinds of products and programs the rules have to change.
The best places I ever worked were places that had standards yet allowed deviations by good people that know the company, products, and hardware they are dealing with. I have personally hacked many solutions for people, and worked with some other exceptional people as well. All the while, we had hardware, OS, and software standards that we all agreed to follow. I have worked in a total of 2 places like that in the last 20 years, the last of which was 4 years ago. Now all I find are option 1 or option 2. Big companies generally have option 1, and start ups have option 2, even when they reach the several hundred server mark.
A majority? Probably not. The terminal is fine for lots of things, but when it comes to things like developing, email, browsing, etc. it does not cut it. Sure, I could sit and create a long list of aliases to make access to those things easier, but.. then I have to worry about things like window placement when I launch something, and managing the running applications. Also, how do you show someone from Windows world how Linux is friendly when that's your option? How much of a performance hit is it trying to hand manage all your applications?
I have been an avid KDE user since it first started shipping with RedHat (yeah, I'm an old mother f&*ker). KDevelop is an awesome IDE, window management and performance have always been better than Gnome, it's extremely flexible, and for businesses a very important feature is the Kiosk controls (Gnome was supposed to have these in version 3, however after a year of waiting for a management tool and bug fixes I gave up.).
The other nice thing with KDE is that I have graphics that look better than Windows, but similar enough that people can follow what you are doing. Most of the time, after an hour long session with Engineers I have them asking what I'm running so they can ask their boss for it. If I want to be flashy, I can hot key Compeze and make people "ooh" and "ahh", especially those in Windows that are used to Aero's poor performance with effects if the effects work at all.
Were there changes that were maybe too drastic from V2-V3 then V3-v4? Hard to say, I mean.. they are trying to build something that competes with the massively adopted MS Desktop. All in all, I'll take a day learning curve in a new version when weighting the pros and cons.
Wow, do you know how to read and think? I'm guessing not.
Don't listen to just him, there is a whole lot of shit out there for you to read.

No wonder you post anonymously! I would not want to put my name next to such an irrational set of statements either. There was no wiggle room in the statements of opinion I presented, they were very concrete. You somehow took a concrete statement and reversed it's meaning. You may wish to seek professional help.
By what method does giving the UN the authority to tax people in the World not present them as a "World Government"? You, like so many others have been duped in to thinking that either: They in fact are the World government and the US is a subject. Or. That any conspiracy thought of conspiracy is irrational.
My hunch is, that you have fallen in to the later trap. Conspiracies are real, even if the TV and Radio has told you over and over that anyone speaking of a conspiracy automatically irrational. Nothing could be further from the truth, but this is the reality that you have been presented.
Doing a bit of research this weekend, I can quickly point you to a valid conspiracy. If you read the Wiki page for Ross Perot, pay attention to the 1992 Presidential campaign section, paragraphs 4 and 5. Follow the link to the follow up statements here from an alleged perpetrator.
Before you plug your ears and yell "La la la I'm not listening" I hope you understand that the conspiracy is verified. What is not verified is whom actually blackmailed Ross Perot. There was no follow up investigation, which is something else that should bother you.
Challenge the reality that the media has been presenting you! You will find that much of it is false.
I thought it was MAC for the people of power or with money, but Windows for the rest of the world. I have to watch some TV I guess. On second thought.. nah, I'll take your word for it! Thanks for the catch!
There is, at least in the US, but it takes work and it's not instant gratification. Petition to get people you know on ballots and get the crooks out of office.
Like he asks you to do with corporate media, search outside for facts. Don't listen to just him, there is a whole lot of shit out there for you to read. Hopefully you begin to see how important that is after you see the sham currently being propagated.
Do I think he's a bit alarmist? Maybe, but he's also trying to wake up a crowd of people mesmerized with a corporate media that's doing everything it can to keep the truth from people. It's probably the best track to take right now, yell really loud and hopefully get some people thinking.. and pray for a chain reaction.
We should give them a good US education! They can score really high on a tests, have absolutely no working knowledge, and be hooked on Facebook! Hell, that may solve the problem with population as well. Who has time to make friends or babies when you have the interweb thing in your face all day!
Did you know that in courts, people have been convicted of using frying pans as weapons. We can add shoe laces, bricks, fishing line, and even spoons to that list. We have drones that fly by TV screen and people use Joysticks to launch weapons. In that case, computers and technology are very much weapons. As would be the radios providing the intelligence to find targets. Voices have been used as psychological weapons dating back to WW I, when we had loudspeakers on the front lines. The term weapon in this case has not become meaningless at all.
The logic is a bit flawed in your argument. What I mean is that technically anything can be a weapon. Computers are not an exception. Because it can be used as a weapon does not mean we re-classify things as weapons. A frying pan's main purpose is still for cooking, and the meaning of weapon is still the same.
Military doctrine states very clearly that the best weapons do not kill people at all. The best weapons will cause damage that takes people off line, so that your killers have less targets to deal with. This is why your first targets in a war are the command and control centers, radio towers, and major transit routes. The first targets are never a "Kill". This is also why the 5.56mm round is designed to wound, not kill (by no means does this mean that the round does not kill, however the size and shape are designed to do do damage without killing. If we intended to kill the round would be much larger and heavier).
In the case of espionage, this is much more complex. Gaining information on movements and targets, locations of C&C, and lastly impersonation. How many of those statements released by Egypt's leaders, or Libya's leaders were really from them? That last game is played much more often than you would guess.
Just ignore Facebook. I have an account, and honestly I'm thinking about cancelling it. It's really a cool thing talking to people face to face as opposed to through a medium that limits us to what people want us to hear as opposed to what people really are (while of course making a few people exceptionally wealthy).
The only thing I ever thought much about using Facebook for was pictures. After re-reading the EULA and ToS I had to re-think that, and now won't even upload a picture.
The plus side is, that creating cyber attacks is very cheap. Learning the low level instructions is not so easy, but the advent of the internet makes things easy to find. Hell, I have never coded a graphics device in my life but I can find a great number of header files that know the calls.
In the US, this is going to be extremely difficult in a year. The new NSA supercomputers will be on line spying on everything being done. They will be able to track you pretty quickly. Outside of the US, tracking someone down will be much harder. I.E. We can determine now that a great number of attacks come from China, but unless China cooperates we have no real person to address/charge/etc..
Well, you know that media tells you that you must be on line 24/7, and must use Facebook to be a person. They also tell you that you must use Windows right? At least the Windows rhetoric has slowed down a bit lately, but the hype to get people on Facebook is pretty massive.
I'm a paid shill? or the post I replied to? Have you looked in to any facts yourself, or have you just taken the media's word for everything you currently hold as true.
Need proof that Obama is a paid liar? How about when he was running for office and stated in several speeches that NAFTA had to go. During which time, he was emailing the Canadian prime minister saying 'don't worry, it's just rhetoric'. It was exposed, and covered up by corporate medial.
That was not the first lie, but the easiest to prove. His whole platform was a ruse. What has changed since he has been in office? Less liberty, more executive orders diminishing your rights, increased taxes, increased corruption, and quite honestly more open corruption. How about the increases in violence, the Presidential Hit list, the nameless drone killings, the war mongering for Africa and Iran. They wave it in your face every day. They are taunting you and teasing you, but you are to goddamn ignorant to see what's going on.
You claim 9/11 conspiracy bullshit, but have you checked a single fact for yourself or have you only listened to what paid for corporate media has told you?
Did you buy in to the whole "These are jobs American's won't do" rhetoric? Did you ever stop to think that these are jobs American's have always done, and have been willing to do? That it was an illegal excuse to keep open borders and undermine the American economy?
You are not correct with your first sentence. The UN is not a government, does not have any citizens, and is not made up of an elected body. The UN is a panel of representatives from many countries. People already pay taxes to their countries, which in turn pays for the representatives that sit in the UN.
Money and assets that the UN owns, has been given as Gifts from various countries. As with above, this is already based on taxed income from citizens.
The UN has no authority over any country, especially those that are members. The UN was designed as a method of dispute mediation without armed conflict. There is a recent push (20 years or so) that wants the UN to be presented as the NWO Government, and make everyone in the world a subject. This rhetoric should bother you very much.
Canada is just as corrupt as the US, and Mexico. This is a frightening state of affairs. All 3 of us have straw men leading that are trained liars. That is their job, to tell bold faced lies with a straight face.
As a first step, each of us needs to figure out a way to rid ourselves of the media monopolies that are dumping bullshit on the populace. Unfortunately, since recalls and legal channels are failing I'm at a loss for how to accomplish this without some type of revolution. It does make one think, is the revolution in the plans for the powers holding the straw men in office?
Of course if we can get the media back from them, we could begin to investigate and call more people to action. It's a really fucked up situation at the moment (sorry, there is no pleasant way to say how bad things really are)
If you are clueless, spend some time reading independent (not corporate [nbc/abc/cbs/fox]) news. Since it may take a long time for you to get it, search out 'WYBM", "The Obama Deception", "911 Truth" on Youtube for starters. Check the facts they present. Read the wiki page for fallacy and start learning the rhetoric game they have been playing against you. I think the most important thing to do, is to wake other people up to what has been going on.
And shit, I'm late to the party. John Lennon and George Carlin had it figured out a long time ago, Alex Jones has been trying to expose this shit for over a decade.
Well, yes, we now have laws against, e.g., owning people as property, which is a definite improvement. Are you saying that this was, say, the result of a post-1850's Great Awakening, or something such as that? There were religious people on both sides of that "owning people as property" debate.
I see where the thought goes, but don't agree. The US, contrary to popular opinion at the moment, was founded on Judea Christian rules. Was it fair to everyone (All races, Religions, etc..) back at the founding? Hell no, but it was the most fair system of it's time. The founders did a great job of leaving room to expand liberty to everyone, knowing it could not be an instant change. If they would have founded things across the board, imagine the result? The country would have demanded to be handed back over to England.
The point is that we have a set of rules and morals built in to our constitution. It was treasonous up until the 1970s to think about breaking those rules without an amendment to the Constitution. Now, with the current state of political atheism it's broken regularly. If you have enough money, you won't go to jail (in fact most of the time you won't even go to trial). I'm not talking OJ here, I'm talking much bigger fish. Enron, Banks, Politicians, etc...
For the citations you requested: The precognition page of Wiki gives a good amount of information. There is enough coincidence in many of these studies that scientists are still researching. Remember, I did not say it was proven but said there were hints. Wiki Entry
The other I can't find at the moment, which was the world wide monitor for tension. I saw this on a Science channel show a couple years ago and found it interesting. From a quick Google search it does not seem to be glcoherence.org, but then again maybe it is. I'll have to dig more.
Software development, and IT in general will do well. I have 2 math degrees, the logical flow of math works very well with all things in IT.. except for management.
Sorry, but you are in fact a moron. How far have we moved forward as a country since the Atheist take over in the 70s?
Why not look at a bit of history and guess who was worse for people, Atheist or Religion? Hitler, Stalin, Mao, and the list could go on and on. In no way should that claim indicate that Religion is innocent mind you. Human nature is pretty fucked up (just look around a bit) and understand that if man is god, or there is no God, we find things like Genocide as a relatively common practice.
You want to keep atheism as your belief, that's fine. At least use some rational thinking if you are going to try and spread that belief. It's foolish to be scared of people that have a belief, and quite irrational given the actions of atheists.

Doing a bit of research this weekend, I can quickly point you to a valid conspiracy. If you read the Wiki page for Ross Perot, pay attention to the 1992 Presidential campaign section, paragraphs 4 and 5. Follow the link to the follow up statements here from an alleged perpetrator.
Before you plug your ears and yell "La la la I'm not listening" I hope you understand that the conspiracy is verified. What is not verified is whom actually blackmailed Ross Perot. There was no follow up investigation, which is something else that should bother you.
Challenge the reality that the media has been presenting you! You will find that much of it is false.
I thought it was MAC for the people of power or with money, but Windows for the rest of the world. I have to watch some TV I guess. On second thought.. nah, I'll take your word for it! Thanks for the catch!
There is, at least in the US, but it takes work and it's not instant gratification. Petition to get people you know on ballots and get the crooks out of office.
Like he asks you to do with corporate media, search outside for facts. Don't listen to just him, there is a whole lot of shit out there for you to read. Hopefully you begin to see how important that is after you see the sham currently being propagated.
Do I think he's a bit alarmist? Maybe, but he's also trying to wake up a crowd of people mesmerized with a corporate media that's doing everything it can to keep the truth from people. It's probably the best track to take right now, yell really loud and hopefully get some people thinking.. and pray for a chain reaction.
We should give them a good US education! They can score really high on a tests, have absolutely no working knowledge, and be hooked on Facebook! Hell, that may solve the problem with population as well. Who has time to make friends or babies when you have the interweb thing in your face all day!
Did you know that in courts, people have been convicted of using frying pans as weapons. We can add shoe laces, bricks, fishing line, and even spoons to that list. We have drones that fly by TV screen and people use Joysticks to launch weapons. In that case, computers and technology are very much weapons. As would be the radios providing the intelligence to find targets. Voices have been used as psychological weapons dating back to WW I, when we had loudspeakers on the front lines. The term weapon in this case has not become meaningless at all.
The logic is a bit flawed in your argument. What I mean is that technically anything can be a weapon. Computers are not an exception. Because it can be used as a weapon does not mean we re-classify things as weapons. A frying pan's main purpose is still for cooking, and the meaning of weapon is still the same.
Military doctrine states very clearly that the best weapons do not kill people at all. The best weapons will cause damage that takes people off line, so that your killers have less targets to deal with. This is why your first targets in a war are the command and control centers, radio towers, and major transit routes. The first targets are never a "Kill". This is also why the 5.56mm round is designed to wound, not kill (by no means does this mean that the round does not kill, however the size and shape are designed to do do damage without killing. If we intended to kill the round would be much larger and heavier).
In the case of espionage, this is much more complex. Gaining information on movements and targets, locations of C&C, and lastly impersonation. How many of those statements released by Egypt's leaders, or Libya's leaders were really from them? That last game is played much more often than you would guess.
Just ignore Facebook. I have an account, and honestly I'm thinking about cancelling it. It's really a cool thing talking to people face to face as opposed to through a medium that limits us to what people want us to hear as opposed to what people really are (while of course making a few people exceptionally wealthy).
The only thing I ever thought much about using Facebook for was pictures. After re-reading the EULA and ToS I had to re-think that, and now won't even upload a picture.
The plus side is, that creating cyber attacks is very cheap. Learning the low level instructions is not so easy, but the advent of the internet makes things easy to find. Hell, I have never coded a graphics device in my life but I can find a great number of header files that know the calls.
In the US, this is going to be extremely difficult in a year. The new NSA supercomputers will be on line spying on everything being done. They will be able to track you pretty quickly. Outside of the US, tracking someone down will be much harder. I.E. We can determine now that a great number of attacks come from China, but unless China cooperates we have no real person to address/charge/etc..
Well, you know that media tells you that you must be on line 24/7, and must use Facebook to be a person. They also tell you that you must use Windows right? At least the Windows rhetoric has slowed down a bit lately, but the hype to get people on Facebook is pretty massive.
I never said he was the answer, I said that he was trying to expose the problem. Please save the straw man arguments for someone else.
I'm a paid shill? or the post I replied to? Have you looked in to any facts yourself, or have you just taken the media's word for everything you currently hold as true.
Need proof that Obama is a paid liar? How about when he was running for office and stated in several speeches that NAFTA had to go. During which time, he was emailing the Canadian prime minister saying 'don't worry, it's just rhetoric'. It was exposed, and covered up by corporate medial.
That was not the first lie, but the easiest to prove. His whole platform was a ruse. What has changed since he has been in office? Less liberty, more executive orders diminishing your rights, increased taxes, increased corruption, and quite honestly more open corruption. How about the increases in violence, the Presidential Hit list, the nameless drone killings, the war mongering for Africa and Iran. They wave it in your face every day. They are taunting you and teasing you, but you are to goddamn ignorant to see what's going on.
You claim 9/11 conspiracy bullshit, but have you checked a single fact for yourself or have you only listened to what paid for corporate media has told you?
Did you buy in to the whole "These are jobs American's won't do" rhetoric? Did you ever stop to think that these are jobs American's have always done, and have been willing to do? That it was an illegal excuse to keep open borders and undermine the American economy?
Wholly shit the list could go on and on and on.
You are not correct with your first sentence. The UN is not a government, does not have any citizens, and is not made up of an elected body. The UN is a panel of representatives from many countries. People already pay taxes to their countries, which in turn pays for the representatives that sit in the UN.
Money and assets that the UN owns, has been given as Gifts from various countries. As with above, this is already based on taxed income from citizens.
The UN has no authority over any country, especially those that are members. The UN was designed as a method of dispute mediation without armed conflict. There is a recent push (20 years or so) that wants the UN to be presented as the NWO Government, and make everyone in the world a subject. This rhetoric should bother you very much.
Canada is just as corrupt as the US, and Mexico. This is a frightening state of affairs. All 3 of us have straw men leading that are trained liars. That is their job, to tell bold faced lies with a straight face.
As a first step, each of us needs to figure out a way to rid ourselves of the media monopolies that are dumping bullshit on the populace. Unfortunately, since recalls and legal channels are failing I'm at a loss for how to accomplish this without some type of revolution. It does make one think, is the revolution in the plans for the powers holding the straw men in office?
Of course if we can get the media back from them, we could begin to investigate and call more people to action. It's a really fucked up situation at the moment (sorry, there is no pleasant way to say how bad things really are)
If you are clueless, spend some time reading independent (not corporate [nbc/abc/cbs/fox]) news. Since it may take a long time for you to get it, search out 'WYBM", "The Obama Deception", "911 Truth" on Youtube for starters. Check the facts they present. Read the wiki page for fallacy and start learning the rhetoric game they have been playing against you. I think the most important thing to do, is to wake other people up to what has been going on.
And shit, I'm late to the party. John Lennon and George Carlin had it figured out a long time ago, Alex Jones has been trying to expose this shit for over a decade.
Well, yes, we now have laws against, e.g., owning people as property, which is a definite improvement. Are you saying that this was, say, the result of a post-1850's Great Awakening, or something such as that? There were religious people on both sides of that "owning people as property" debate.
I see where the thought goes, but don't agree. The US, contrary to popular opinion at the moment, was founded on Judea Christian rules. Was it fair to everyone (All races, Religions, etc..) back at the founding? Hell no, but it was the most fair system of it's time. The founders did a great job of leaving room to expand liberty to everyone, knowing it could not be an instant change. If they would have founded things across the board, imagine the result? The country would have demanded to be handed back over to England.
The point is that we have a set of rules and morals built in to our constitution. It was treasonous up until the 1970s to think about breaking those rules without an amendment to the Constitution. Now, with the current state of political atheism it's broken regularly. If you have enough money, you won't go to jail (in fact most of the time you won't even go to trial). I'm not talking OJ here, I'm talking much bigger fish. Enron, Banks, Politicians, etc...
For the citations you requested: The precognition page of Wiki gives a good amount of information. There is enough coincidence in many of these studies that scientists are still researching. Remember, I did not say it was proven but said there were hints. Wiki Entry
The other I can't find at the moment, which was the world wide monitor for tension. I saw this on a Science channel show a couple years ago and found it interesting. From a quick Google search it does not seem to be glcoherence.org, but then again maybe it is. I'll have to dig more.
Software development, and IT in general will do well. I have 2 math degrees, the logical flow of math works very well with all things in IT.. except for management.
Sorry, but you are in fact a moron. How far have we moved forward as a country since the Atheist take over in the 70s?
Why not look at a bit of history and guess who was worse for people, Atheist or Religion? Hitler, Stalin, Mao, and the list could go on and on. In no way should that claim indicate that Religion is innocent mind you. Human nature is pretty fucked up (just look around a bit) and understand that if man is god, or there is no God, we find things like Genocide as a relatively common practice.
You want to keep atheism as your belief, that's fine. At least use some rational thinking if you are going to try and spread that belief. It's foolish to be scared of people that have a belief, and quite irrational given the actions of atheists.
