I'm not going to launch into an explanation of why you're wrong, if you actually care you'll look it up and if you don't it's just a waste of my time. Fact is though, it does radiate heat better, as well as absorbing radiant heat better.
Just in case some jackhole jumps on and says your work sucks, or hey, even if they don't, the art is amazing. I'm not a reader, just saw it for the first time now, but I really like the look of it, especially since you went with the cleaner style. Sort of an anglicized anime, it's much more palatable to my western eyes but somehow keeps that... feel. But you already knew that. Anyway, the story doesn't look like it's my thing (never been into comics at all, not that I'm knocking 'em), but I'll look around and see if you have any prints or anything, it's not often I see an artist that I like.
This is why the iPod is winning... its a device to get you laid first, music player second, and amazingly it does well at both tasks. But really, how is a music player like Zune going to compare with something that gets you laid?
Oh yeah, I forgot about the barrel. You're NOT supposed to have to carry all that shit, I found out when I got assigned to my initial ammo bearer position after basic and AIT. Appearantly you're not supposed to get into arguments with your drill sargent.
Buahaha... I thought the same thing until they shoved an M60 into my hands and told me to drag it, my rucksack, the tripod, and my scrawny 150lb ass 30 miles in a night. I became a 60 gunner real fast, so it wasn't a total loss, but it was a miserable fucking experience I never want to repeat.
Thanks! I've already found that searching newsgroups usually finds better results than a web search, and have always wished forums were searched better. I'll check this out, let's hope it does better than Google.
. . . how do you know that "god/es/s" are simply "magic"?
I don't, and in fact, if they did exist, they wouldn't be magic, there would have to be something that makes them and their powers possible. In order for me to believe that gods are magic, I would have to believe in magic. The people making the claim are the ones who believe in magic. The vast, vast majority of people who believe in any higher being offer no theory as to how they could come into existence or how they manage omniscience or omnipotence in the face of our current theories of thermodynamics. They simply belive, and stop thinking right there.
To be fair, and this is something most people miss, atheism is just as much of a religion as anything else. Why? Because once you decide you require proof of omnipotence to believe in it, you've decided to believe in something that is impossible to disprove. It is impossible to disprove the non-existance of an omnipotent being (A lot of negatives, I know.) To disprove the non-existance of omnipotence, you would have to observe omnipotence. You can't, however, do that, unless you're omniscient. Even if everything you see around you moves, changes, melts and begins speaking with a thousand tongues, it doesn't matter, you can simply say that maybe something didn't change where you couldn't see it. So, for the usual atheist argument of telling a religious person that disproving their theory is impossible, well, so is the atheists' theory.
That's why I avoid the actual discussion of whether God is real or not as much as I possibly can. It's a pointless argument from every side. I do, however, think that belief in anything that contains a God or an uncompromisable external value system must necessarily destroy consistency of thought in at least one layer of the mind, usually more. I'm not saying I'm perfect, but at least I'm not starting out with something broken. I'm not sure what to make of agnosticism--then again, that fits, woludn't you say?
Less than ever, as far as I can tell. It's tough to admit to atheism without getting yourself painted as a jaded cynic. I usually avoid the conversation entirely. The cognitive dissonance that occurs when you get laughed at by somebody who believes in magic just isn't worth it.
Yup. It pretty much ended a year and a half relationship when we started talking about stuff like that. The truly mind-boggling thing is, she said she was an atheist all along. I had my suspicions before, but when she freaked and it became a two-hour argument because I said I would discourage my kids from attending a Christian youth camp (read: attempted brainwashing session) I finally admitted she was a closet Christian. After that, well, it's hard to respect someone.
So, the server sends you a public key. You send the server a public key. You both encrypt the data you send to the other with their public key. That data can't be decrypted without the private key that matches the public key, which never traverses the network. How exactly do you break that, short of a vulnerability in the encryption scheme or a computer the size of the Earth?
A big problem I see at nearly every company I've worked at is, concentrating on how to do your own job well is about the last thing people think about. You'll have tech support people making marketing suggestions, marketing people trying to dictate IT policy, etc. The issue is, you'll always make a terrible contribution that way, if you even manage to turn it into more than daydreams.
That may seem like something of a tangent, but hear me out. Just do your own job well. Do that number one, and if it looks like things that need doing aren't getting done, if they're not your job at all, then don't worry about it until you have your own job completely taken care of. The problem is, doing your own job is usually boring, a lot more work than daydreaming about what somebody else should be doing, and doesn't seem like it affects much. That couldn't be farther from the truth. If people always know that your job is done, they'll start leaving you alone; that's when you can branch off into other things. Special projects that make everybody else's life easier will get big notice. Here's the big (huge) thing though: make sure it's related to your job as closely as possible. Nobody knows how to do your job as well as you do, you spend 40 hours a week (if you're lucky) doing it--no one else does. Sure, work on managing the IT department better, but only once you have your own job done as well as it can be under the current management.
If you run into a situation where the people above you aren't giving you the support you need, leave as soon as possible, and stop worrying about it otherwise.
Funny, I started out with line-numbered BASIC on a TRS-80 in 5th grade, staying after school to write programs to do my algebra homework for me. In high school I move on to QBasic to modify NIBBLES.BAS to run silent and 4-player over the network (using temporary files on a network drive, horrible I know, but it worked and I was 13) so that we could play in class. I spent the next 2 years writing QBasic and moving up to QuickBasic, and eventually Visual Basic, which I spent another year or so on.
When I wanted something more substantial, I started learning C++. Sure, it took me a few failed tries and a couple years before I really got it, but it's a complicated language and programming is hard;) One thing I didn't run into was any problems understanding null-terminated strings, pointer arithmetic, passing by value or reference, partial specialization of templates... you get the picture. I think the "crippling" effect of BASIC is nothing more than confusing causality with correlation.
Oop, I was confused, I thought Objects was the last episode. That's the perfect one to end the marathon with, and SF aside it's way up there in my top TV episodes ever.
I swear, TV people are incapable of recognizing anything good. Episode 14 was, in my opinion, the best one out of all. You have to show it, especially if you want to drive people to the movie.
"Am I a lion?"
Then again, maybe the first 10 are enough to drive people to the DVD for the last 4, which will drive them to the movie, or that's the plan.
Or the claim of a 40% increase in quality (WTF does that even mean? I'm 80% more awesome than these guys) with lower bitrate without any of the fanfare you'd usually expect from such an amazing advance.
I'd change it back, or if you're not using NIS, give just "passwd: files ldap" a shot, both files and compat are redundant at best. Whichever PAM file you have there is odd, auth should fail if a "required" module doesn't succeed. Here's mine:
Basically, make sure that pam_unix is before pam_ldap, that they are both "sufficient", and put a required pam_deny.so at the end, and your passwd should override any ldap. Also make sure to check both/etc/pam.d/* and/etc/pam.conf. pam.d should override pam.conf, but it doesn't hurt to check. The pam.d dir will probably have different files for different services, so make sure to check ssh if you're having a problem with that, login if it's with console logins, and so on. They might include other files, but whoever edited them might have changed stuff. HTH.
Just make sure there's an enabled root account in your/etc/(passwd|shadow), make sure pam_unix is enabled in your/etc/pam.d/(system.auth|login), and your/etc/nsswitch.conf has a line that says "passwd: files ldap" and you're all set.

Black radiates heat faster as well as absorbing it faster. Stick it in the shade.

I'd like to see the GP in JRTC.
Tendonitis, can't type much, but play Ninja Gaiden on Xbox. Best (1P) game ever.

You need to escape your spaces, it considers them separate regexes otherwise:

How weird is that? Who lies about their religion?
