Rarely do you find such enlightened and insightful posts anywhere on the Internet, let alone Slashdot. Such beautiful expression of the English language and enough depth to engulf even the most brilliant of minds.
I really don't understand how can anyone be such a fundamentalist believer in our age. You said, you're Christian. What about people of other religions? Are you prejudiced against them as well? Are they all condemned to death in your view?
This would be the implication, if you're following the bible this regorously. Most people in the world are not actually Christian. Do you expect the one billion Chinise to convert to Christianity? So, if you're willing to accept that people may have different religions/views, why not accept gay people? Which brings me back to my original point: I don't understand fundamentalism.
I call bullshit. I'm against prejudice and discremination of any kind. And it's all because I understand how important individual freedom is. I respect people for who they are, but what I can't take, is somene restricting my freedom of expression or imposing anything on me against my will.
Which is why I'm completely OK with Christians (or anyone else, for that matter), as long as they are tolerant of other people's views. It's really not about being religious, it's about not being close minded.
... in some Muslim countries, they literally KILL homosexuals.
well, now I'm convinced. Racism is clearly fine as well, since Hitler killed millions of Jews.
What the hell kind of an argument is that? Clearly, if they're willing to kill, they must be right!... Completely fucked up reasoning.
Its in the Quran, Bible and Torah.
So? They all contradict each other anyway, on most other counts. Why should we believe something that was written thousands of years ago, and not modern scietific and social views.
Its unnatural, perverse and goes against natural law whatever diety you worship.
How is it unnatural? It's beem happening to 5-10% of society for thousands, (if not millions?) of years. Everyone has got sexual identity/sexual orientation, is it so hard to believe, that in some people it's shifted in some way?

Judging by the rescent success of a certain little OS, I think Apple are the ones to ask.
Take that Taco and CowboyNeal! Your reign is over. Did you think your eye-watering, brain-hemorrhaging colour schemes would stop us forever? I used to envy the colourblind, for they could roam the site without restraint. But that time has passed...
Can anyone please enlghten me on what so special about epiOS linux that other distros can't manage?
Or, more to the point what the hell is it anyway?
If it is what I think it is, which is a distro that is taylored toward EPIA, why make a whole distro and not just a tarball of linux drivers and tools?
A "podcast" is just a radio program run off onto MP3 (or whatever) and then downloadable.
It's not actually downloadable, as such. Podcasts are supposed to be fed into iPod (or the like) automatically. I presume, you have to hook it up to your PC first.
You can think of Podcasting as digital radio, that allows you to play the broadcasts over and over again, (kinda like tivo, only for audio).
The reason is, of course, that we've been stuck with sameish desktop performance as well. Which correlates with supercomputer performance, since nowdays most of them use Intel/AMD processors.
Just goes to show that Moore's law won't hold forever.
As other people pointed out, and rightly so, I was wrong. I was, of course, taliking about the Global Filesystem (GFS), which has nothing to do with Google and everything to do with Red Hat.
But, I knew that, and was just keepin' y'all on yer toes. Just doin' mah job Mam, by helping the/. stay sane and alert.

This is just as well, I would really love to see those old COBOL apps scream on this thing!
(Note, this is a joke)
20+ people.
Whichever way I look at it, it doesn't make sense. Can some, please, care to explain to me just what the above is supposed to mean?

Sir, I'm in awe!
Sure, don't go overboard. Just a couple of viruses here, a spyware program there. Everything in moderation.
StA trUCK iz FoR LOOZAZ AHHAHAHhahahahah
I believe the horse still has bits of flesh hanging from it's carcass. Please continue with the beating until none is left.
:( indeed.
UK Online does 8 Meg for 30 quid/month. (There's a 500 Gig cap tho). (They also have a very cheap 2Mbps.)
Not really, given that Microsoft would never do this with Visual Studio.
What strikes me is how all your high morality bullshit can be brushed off by something as mundane as a condom.
What we need is education. Apperantly too many people have never heard of safe sex.

People being stupid and not wearing condoms, that's another matter.
