"Yes. And Christ intended us to obtain forgiveness first through baptism, and subsequently through confessing our sins to a priest"
Didn't jesus changed the rules for this (which was the original way that sins were forgiven through the preists in old testament law) and show this to be changed by ripping the curtain of the most holy room in the temple from top to bottm (notice the signifigance of the direction of the rip).
the pasage you quote has more to do with forgiving people of sins casted against the apolstle, shown in jesus telling his disciples to cast the dust off of their shoes when leaving a town if they are treated wrongly as a sign of not-forgiving them their actions...
Anyone can ask Jesus directly for forgiveness of sins..
#2 AFAIK there aren't when you consider the plugins that you can use which are wholly supported by Valve (or at the vert least not contended) and what is possible with the server console.
With plugins (which can be used to give any and all powers to players), the server admin is creating the environment in which everyone will play, with cheats, the individual decides how the environment will be, I don't see how this benifits anyone besides the cheaters...
actually it is valid on both points, all of the cheats created violate the software laws that protect them (SDK for valve). Valve will be calling the police/going to court.
Going to another server is analogous because there are a limited number of servers which any one person will have a decent connection (ping/latency) to playing the type of CS they enjoy (mods, maps, settings, etc.. analogous to favorite court) it is just as frustrating to have to try and find a cheater free server that uses the same gameplay you enjoy than having to go an additional 30 miles to play without jerks.
Well there are 2 rebuttals to this, one is that you as a server owner can choose to have Valve police your server with their anti cheat VAC module or choose to not have them police it.
the second is that there exists a way for people to cheat in CS already via console commands if a server admins chooses to do so, thus no reason for cheat makers to infringe on Valve's IP.
Lets make an analogy here. say you love to play basketball, there is a court near your house.
Every Saturday (the one day you have off to play BB) you go to the court to try and play some basketball. Once you get there you see a game going on, you ask to join, they say "sure!!" as soon as someone passes you the ball you get punched in the nose, they grab the ball and make a basket. Rinse repeat ad infinitum.
Why don't you go to a different court? surely the fact that the next closest court is 30 miles farther means nothing.. you just don't have thick enough skin to play BB so why don't you go play with yourself?
Wouldn't you find this slightly annoying to not be able to just play the game?
Most of the cheat distribution sites are hosted by "clans" (e.g. myg0t) whose sole purpose is to disrupt other people's ideas of fun... if this happened in real life we could just call the cops and have the arrested, why not with virtual games?
Wrong, most of the cheats used in CS are third party apps that hook into the.dlls used in the game, they get information that isn't supposed to be relayed to the client (wallhacks) and insert coordinates for the player automatically based on the relayed info (aimbots).
so why does the body become tired just beause you ate carbs? The tied feeling is from eating a big meal, any big meal, carbs has nothing to do with it... you think carbs put you to sleep? why would anybody take valium, they could just eat some wonder bread.
Put down the atkins book and think rationally... think of lions sleeping in the sun after eating a large kill (which is meat)
you have been brainwashed by Dr (pfttt) atkins...
put down the 15 pound steak lettuce wrap and eat a cracker.
but the car isn't a hazard to the rest of us just because it is a car, if you applied the analogy to include free recalls for stolen vehicles (like the old pinto that exploded in a rear collision) then the analoy would be more apt.
actually you can skip them (as i hate all ads with a passion...) as soon as the DVD starts to auto play, hit the stop button then hit play, it will skip all the "previews/ads" and start the main movie.
sometimes this will not work and the system will tell you the stop button isnt usable right then (like during the copyright notices) you can then either: press stop 2x or hit menu (the menu button that brings up the dvd special features or sound selection area, on my machine it is "top menu") then click the play movie icon and you're good to go.
no i think in this case it's more like they slashed the airbags with a little knife hole in case a mechanic had to inspect the inside sometime in the future...
to pay for top of the line computer parts when 6 months later they will be 60% or less of the price you would have bought them for originally, if you really need that specific system/power then wait 6 months and you will have it for 40% less....
When i first started putting computers together about 5 years ago I would buy some top of the line components and some mid range, now I go all mid range...if a tech jump is coming/has arrived like 64 bit processors or multi cores, then I wait six months after a product is released then buy it.
plus the games that need that stuff to run will be half price by that time anyway...
I might always be 6 months to 1 yr behind my "performance driven" friends, but then I have a lot more money in my pocket also (which translates into more games and extra curricular activities;))
yah but sticking to the analogy, your fun to drive car won't be fun to drive until the car company releases a patch to fix the self deflation in the tires, the glass company releases a patch to fix the automatic window that won't roll down, and the new "Detonator" drivers due out in august that promises a 50% performance increase for the engine...
so 6 months later your car is almost completely bug free (one more patch and we're there!!) and has the performance promised, too bad it is not "top of the line" anymore (and verging on obsolete in the world of performacne/features).
uh no, children start off life good and pure, wholly unselfish and giving, they LEARN to be shits by the examples of people around them (IE the parents, playmates, etc...)

cheat makers use the SDK from Valve which does have these limitations/agreements.
"Court is for REAL LIFE. This is JUST A FUCKING GAME."
um excuse me but I am really playing this game IN REAL LIFE... hello???

oops, i meant wrong to the original parent, the post above this is actually a well thoguth out expansion to my original post... kudos!
There is a program that you can run server and client side that does this already, it's called cheating death.
for the most part I think it works, although I have heard about hacked CD clients.
You don't seem to have the basic concept here.

what else would it have to snyc to? gmt? disconnect the net and booyah... seriously..

Wow, i thoguth i was the only one still using windows 98, i use windows 98SE and haven't had to re-install in ove... *fizzle*

"each one has an expiration date"
So if i change the date on my machine i can watch it indefinitely?.

only an idiot would use a password like 1..2..3..4..5
this is a reverse punchline...
another good point... although if i had that kind of car I would live quite near the autobahn...not side road of san jose... heh
didn't they do this in the movie "Johnny Mnemonic"
:P
Keanu Reaves played Johnny who had a password made up of pictures stored in his brain as encoded data...
heh, article reminded me of this movie and I said Whoaaa...

Smart move!!
Great!! so right when they figure out how to seriously extend lifespan I will be a senior citizen living in a world of never aging teenagers...
Shoot me now plz..
I think someone is loosing their cool...

"Tell me, how did WTC complex building 7 come down? Which airplane hit that building?"
I think it was smashed by 10,000 tons of debris, no real need to be hit by a plane after that...
