"Do not believe in evolution and don't believe there is enough evidence for it, if there proof comes out then I will accept it:)"
Evolution: The process of change in the traits of organisms or populations over time. (source).
If you truly believe that no species has ever changed, then you are a moron.
A simple example of evolution: Dog breeders. They attempt to breed the best dogs together to create better dogs. Over time this brings out certain traits in the species. The species has changed. That's evolution.
"Well, your honour, I saw that big long EULA and figured I'd be there a while, so I went off to get myself a sandwich... when I came back it was gone, someone else had agreed to it! I think it was the gnomes again."
"Funny, we have everything Microsoft at where I work and not a single hack."
That you know of. What NIDS systems do you run? Even those wont catch 100% of break-ins. Maybe your network is in a locked room, no one has physical access, and it has no connection to anything outside this room. Even then we wouldn't know _for sure_.
"I bet I can configure our site faster than you get can a Linux solution going -- and mine is easier to maintain too!"
And this is on a P200mhz with 96MB RAM. Unless my memory fails me, last time I had to install Windows 2000 (on a Athlon XP 1.7ghz, 256MB RAM), it took much longer than ten minutes just for the OS.
That's true, I could also do it about 20 other ways, I'm sure.
My point was that there are legitimate uses for being able to assign a value to a variable in a conditional, and restricting a language because of a common programmer's mistake is just plain dumb. I could understand throwing a warning, maybe, but flat out refusing to compile is stupid.
I have learned a great deal from you and understand why you would
propose and support a government run by religion. Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding
God's Law. I try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can.
I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other elements
of God's Laws and how to follow them.
a..Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and
female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend
of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can
you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?
b.. I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in
Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair
price for her?
c.. I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in
her period of menstrual uncleanness (Leviticus 15:19-24). The problem is
how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.
d.. When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates
a pleasing odor for the Lord (Leviticus 1:9). The problem is, my neighbors.
They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?
e.. I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus
35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated
to kill him myself, or should I ask the police to do it?
f.. A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an
abomination (Leviticus 11:10), it is a lesser abomination than
homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this? Are there 'degrees'
of abomination?
g..Leviticus 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I
have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading
glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle-room
here?
h.. Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair
around their temples, even though Leviticus 19 expressly forbids this.
How should they die?
i.. I know from Leviticus 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes
me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?
j.. My uncle has a farm. He violates Leviticus 19:19 by planting two
different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing
garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester
blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really
necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town
together to stone them? (Leviticus 24:10-16) Couldn't we just burn them to
death at a private family affair, like we do with people
who sleep with their in-laws? (Leviticus 20:14)
I know you have studied these things extensively and thus enjoy
considerable expertise in such matters, so I am confident you can
help.
Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging.

You're obviously not in the IT field.
The last thing you want is someone that thinks the know something but really know absoloutely nothing 'helping' other users.
All it ends up doing is making even more problems for yourself.
I do the same thing. Sure shows you how much some people value your services >_>
I've been payed between about $0.50/hr for somewhere around 10 hours to $1/hr for 3 hours of emergency (pulled me away from a poker night) call.
And then I finally starting asking for a certain amount of money. I did about 10 hours of web-dev work and asked for $15/hour and got a "Holy shit." (I could tell from the look on their face they think I charged _way_ too much, and they were a business. They paid, of course.).
I think I had one person pay me $20 for about 3 hours work, and I think that's the most someone has paid (when I didn't request a specific amount).
In other words: People think my services are worth less than excrement.

I convinced the sys-admin to let me set up a F/OSS lab. It's in a back room which is basically a storage room and no one ever even goes in it other than myself and two other people (who are helping me set it up).
The network is all done with hubs, no switches (for the whole school). I have root access to several Linux and BSD machines all connected to this network...
(For those of you who still don't see my intentions, I can run a packet sniffer and get all traffic for several hundred students, plus the admins.)
BTW, if my understanding of the Windows protocols are correct, I should be able to sniff out some authenticaton packets, strip the password hash out then use brute-force to find the raw password, correct?
I believe that is different since they notify all parties involved that the all may be monitored/recorded. If they did it without notifying anyone, it would likely be illegal.

C# will catch the typo (and not just give a warning, but refuse to compile). C++ won't say a word.
Well, I'm never going to take up C#, then. I do shit like this all the time (in PHP):Tell me, what is so wrong with that code?
