google is, at least primarily (with the exception of google ads, &c) free to use, ensuring it a wider user database. 1,000 dollar software *can* make a splash...but it's harder.
a while back my old power mac (gosh rest it's soul) mysteriously broke, so I took apart the hard drive. Having been too lazy to find any better place to put it, I had been keeping it on the floor. It immediately became apparent that this was my problem when, after opening it up, huge tufts of dog hair burst forth.
by this point I already was getting a new computer, so I ended up taking apart the moterboard and using various pretty green and yellow parts for photo assignments. Then I turned them into ceiling hangings...they looked sort of like futuristic space crafts.
>What I would like to know, mistranslations aside, is where did the modern Christian notion of the Devil come from? Did it arise out of the collective guilt complex of Christianity? Or was it deliberately concocted as a means of social control?
A lot of reasons, I think -- yours included. One of the major reasons, IMHO, is that when taking their religion to the "pagan" Greeks, Christians realized that the whole 1 god thing was just not swinging it...so they put in a goddess figure (Mary) and an evil-power god guy (Satan) to flush their flimsy monotheism out a bit.
(Note that I am not a polytheist OR a monotheist. I am an atheist.)
Apparently my school district is trying to make up for whoever is banning the books, because I had to read The Giver for school 3 different times. Then a 4th time it was one of our three choices of what to read. I don't want to ban the damn book or anything, but I'm starting to get REALLY sick of it.

...how did lucas go from making a really rather excellent sci-fi flic earlier in his career (thx-1138) to these pieces of crap he's putting out now? shouldn't a director's films get better as opposed to worse as his career develops?
oh wait...this is hollywood we're talking about. never mind.
Past a certain point, upping your storage does slim-to-nothing as far as competition goes. Maybe a few people will go, "Oh cool! I can store 2 gb! That sounds really cool!" But very few people will even come close to gmail's 1 gb limit, let alone 2 gb.
Moreover, Hotmail doesn't even begin to compete with gmail as far as the interface, searchability options, multiple labels, &c go.

Harry Potter is just a fucking kid's book, whereas C.S. Lewis wrote fucking kid's books with blatantly obvious parallels to Chrstianity.
actually, it seriously does make me manic. reading slashdot=not sleeping=screwed up neurotransmitters=me manic.

a new book by jon katz on this subject. perhaps to be called "r3v3ng3 0f th3 n3rd5" to avoid copyright infringement laws...
god believes in you even if you don't believe in him... and linux believes in you even if you don't believe in it.
