There are only three major libraries for database abstraction. Adodb, metabase and PEAR. PEAR is the "official" one and is late to the party. I prefer adodb but they all have a thriving community.
If it was there it would have been found by now. You have millions of christians all over the world who have everything to gain by finding it. Many people have trekked up the mountain and flown around it and nobody has found anything yet.
even if they found it there it would not mean anything. I don't think there is any doubt there was a huge flood in the are. There is geologic evidence for it, every single culture records it, and there is even a pretty solid theory as to how it came about (hint it was not due to 40 days and nights of rain). All it proves is that there was a flood (we already knew that) and that some boat floated in the flood and got lodged somewhere on the mountain.
None of that proves that there was a boat containing two of every single creature on earth and a handful of people who then proceeded to populate the entire earth. That story is ridiculus on the face of it.
Exactly how old do you propose the old testament is? Eratosthenes calculated the circumference of the earth around 250 BC in egypt (he was the librarian at alexandria). The dead sea scrolls are dated at around 100 BC to 100 AD one presumes the old testament to be right around that time. Does anybody date the old testament before 250 BC?
What's even worse is when people fall back on utter superstition when science does not have an answer.
Instead of saying "we don't know" or "we have no way of observing or measuring that" people say "It's this way because this two thousand year old books says so".
Facinating interpretation. BUt you know that's all that it is. Just interpretation. Other people may choose to interpret those passages some other way.
Of course most people believe that bible is the word of god. It's not up to interpretation.
The bible does mention the four corners of the earth suggesting that the earth is a four sided plane. But then again it also says stars fell down to earth suggesting that stars are little things in the sky. Finally it suggests that pi = 3 when describing the sea that god made.
Goes to show you should not go to the bible for your science or math unless you live in Montana
A country which has an official policy of torture. A country which calls itself a democracy but does not grant rights to half to humans living in their borders? A country which kills thousands of civillians every year. A country which has killed dozens of US citizens by dropping bombs in their neighborhoods. A country which spies on the US and is not ashamed of it.
Hardly a rose bush.
If you want a rose bush look at Turkey. A true democracy with strict speration of church and state.
We have bases in Turkey and Saudi Arabia. The Saudi one is being phased out now that we own iraq but it's been there a long time. Turkey is very strategically located.
There are all kinds of quirks especially with office. One that I hate is that office insists on keeping track of where it was installed FROM. If you ever move that directory it acts goofy and slows down. If you try to reinstall it refuses. What you have to do is to dig throgh the registry and wipe out all memory of the first install so you can reinstall.
Israel is more likely to explode bombs in the US by smuggling them in then to try and launch them from missiles. They have a very large spy network in the US and it would be very easy to smuggle in nuclear bombs and plant them at the hundred largest cities in the US. Let them all go at once and we are pretty much sunk.
The worry about israel is not so much that they see us a threat (after all they suckle on our teats) it's that they are a rougue nation which believes that international law does not apply to them.
I guess it depends on where you live. If you live in a "swing state" then Bush will stay in office unless you vote democrat. If you live in a state which is overwhelmingly democrat or republican you can do whatever the fuck you want.
Check the polls in your state. If it's close and you don't like what bush is doing to this country you should vote for kerry.
Why of course you should suspect anybody who takes money.
For example when you go to a doctor they charge you for making you well. Obviously they can't be trusted because they have incentive to say that you are sick.
When you don't feel well don't go to a doctor go to a nice republican radio show host. They know more about medicine then those silly doctors with letters after their names.
Oh those radio show hosts should also be trusted to secure your network, program your applications, tune your database and architect your applications. Experience and education does not count for shit. Those people with degrees are all ivory tower educated dunces.
Education and experience doesn't count for shit in this world. You should only trust rabid republican ideolog blowhards. Having a radio show is the only qualification you need to do anything.
What's funny is that we already have a massive kill to killed ratio.
Even in iraq we have only lost 700 soldiers compared to tens of thousands of iraqis killed. One day in the not too distant future we will be able to kill hundreds of thousands of people without losing a single US soldier or even having one injury.
I don't know if that's good or bad to tell you the truth. When wars become even more painless I suppose we might wage them more often. OTOH we tend to wage war every few years now as it is.
The climatologist, physists, chemist, oceonagrophers and geologists. You know, those people with PHDs who have been studying the climate for decades and who have run all kinds of experiments and have made lots of observations.
I know that you probably know more then all those people combined and are in a better position to make judgement, after all they are probably ignorant liberal elite collage professors who never listen to Bill Oreilly or Rush Limbaugh. So what if you have a PHD and have been stuying the atmosphere all of your adult life. That's just "book learnin". You know better. You have common sense and street smarts.

They will find some old wood someplace and claim it was the arc. It will never occur to them that it could have been an ancient shack or anything.
Although I will be impressed if around the piece of wood they found the traks of elephant, zebra, giraffe, gorilla, hippo, kangaroo, penguin etc.
If it was there it would have been found by now. You have millions of christians all over the world who have everything to gain by finding it. Many people have trekked up the mountain and flown around it and nobody has found anything yet.

Firebird has excellent windows support. It also does not have of the quirks of mysql and is full featured.
DBI is a library not a part of perl itself. Same with all of the PHP database abstraction layers.
Where is this JSF Creator? If you have a link I'd be most grateful.
Yes but what's with the fish? Why is the seagul holding a fish and why is the fish smiling?
Is the fish happy that he is about to become dinner? Does the fish symbolize something?
Cute bird, the fish has to go.

The ancient greeks not only knew the earth was a sphere they also pretty accurately calculated the size. Way before the bible.

Rose bush? Israel? I don't think so.
A country which has an official policy of torture. A country which calls itself a democracy but does not grant rights to half to humans living in their borders? A country which kills thousands of civillians every year. A country which has killed dozens of US citizens by dropping bombs in their neighborhoods.

I don't buy the staging argument.

" Moreover, there's no reason to attack, and a lot of reasons not to."
I never did get our relationship with israel. We give them a lot of money and weapons but I still havent figured out what we get back in return.
It sure as hell aint peace and stability in the middle east that's for sure.
I guess it depends on where you live. If you live in a "swing state" then Bush will stay in office unless you vote democrat. If you live in a state which is overwhelmingly democrat or republican you can do whatever the fuck you want.

Hows that rigorous investigation going by the way.
Holy shit. Now I'll never get to sleep.
I sure hope somebody puts a bullet in that fuckers head before he sits on the bench.
Israel has over 100 nuclear weapons. If we were to defeat them we would have to have a massive first strike.
Of course no American president would risk the jewish vote by attacking israel in he first place.

Brilliant!. I bet not one of those meterologists and climatologist thought of that one.
