Could you see a possiblity that the blueray disc with a live os rewritable being used as a the primary drive and storage device. Basically carry my computer around and running it on any desktop compatible? IE save docs/programs on the disc along with the OS, and switch to another machine, stick the disc in and start where I left off?
I'm a newb linux user. If I have one of these HD or Bluerays, would this be Ideal for running a live cd? Seeing as it has lots of space?
Now, would it be better if these discs were RE-writable? Meaning It's a storage device that's never just one copy of any given thing. Anyone have any thoughts or ideas, or even examples of what I'm talking about here?
Good for you Airhed!
Just erks me that you let everyone know that you can beat an addiction, and I only see +2 Insightful! If I had Points, you'd be getting my vote.
So I'm guessing the cute Nursury Rhyme will be changed to 'Bunny fu fu the "GIANT FUCKING RABBIT" Hoping through the Forest...'
I'd Replace my dog with one. It's Harmless, but damn scary looking, if someone broke into my house and stumbled upon one of these suckers...awesome!
Now, are they going to try and breed it with the Rabbit from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. THAT would be a bad Idea.
Well, when you read a poem, and you think it means 'this', isn't that what you believe to be right? I may be wrong, the bible may be translated incorrectly, but until I know it's wrong, I'm gonna have to take what's given to me.
It's called faith, I really couldn't explain that.
Heh.
Well, this person is retarded (Not Parent poster, the character in the article.) Nowhere in the Bible does it say that the earth burning will not be considered 'Global Warming'. As far as I knew, fire was pretty warm.
And Global warming will bring Global freezing, which is also not discredited in the Bible. So where is the arguement?
P.S. I believe the Bible is right as long as it is translated Correctly. But I also believe that this Christians that insist that anything Scientific MUST discredit the Bible are a bunch of Idiots. God gave us the ability to Observe, why would then give us false advertising? The world's getting warmer....Seems like global warming is comming out to be less of a theory and more reality.
Oh man I love this stuff.
Everytime I watch a movie and something doesn't make sense, I can allways stir it around until it does. (At least for me.)
C3po and R2d2: Maybe Obiwan just didn't care about the robots much. He knew them, but they weren't really important to him. Or maybe he didn't want to say he knew them, because if he could tie himself to the robots, it might (Through Crazy whiney Questions) lead to Obiwan admitting that Vader is Lukes Father.
Yodi: Well, Yoda instructed him a number of times in the 2rd & 3rd one. Maybe what he meant was not that yoda trained him. But Yoda was a source of Wisdom when he had a question. Of course there could have been some training in between 1 and 2 as the is some time in between.
And I agree with you on Leia. Maybe Ben just didn't know that she may be of any use.
Hey informative KFG. Now since you seem to know alot. This was tagged as entrapment. But isn't it the same as cops dressing like 'Drug Dealers' and when approached by someone with the intent to buy drugs they arrest them? They posted the Fake torrent on a site knowing that poeple who have the intent to download Material will go there and download it. It's a trap, but not entrapment. Am I right? Because I get confused sometimes. I always understood entrapment was setting someone in a situation where normally they would not commit a crime. Like putting a knife in my hand, then start insulting me with the intent of making me angry enough to stab them. Or a Cop Riding someones ass till they start driving faster to get the cop off them, then getting pulled for speeding.
I don't agree. He may just be living life for him. Or after taking into account arguments for Atheism and ID, he's decided that both will continually argue and that there may never be a right answer until the second comming, or a time machine is created and man travels back and observes macro-evolution.
A guy I work with Believes both ID and Evolution can coexist. I thought that was interesting.
The fear is that IF GW happens, it would disrupt the Atlantic Current (What ever the heck that one moving bit of water is called) Which would cause environmental problems like Global Freezing (Which sounds alot Scarier then Warming.) If GW happens, we may have to spend TONS more on Heating in homes.
BUT you are right, it is a distraction, there are more important things that are happening and we know are GOING to Happen that we should be focusing on. When the atlantic current starts slowing down, or changing direction, or just plan stops, that's when we should worry.
Parent got modded as flamebait, but he is right. Someone has to complain about something. And/.ers seem to generally want to complain about Bush.
I'm proud to have Bush as our President. Saddam was killing inocent people. He cut the tounge out of a man and left him dying in a street in the middle of his city just because the man felt like the things saddam was doing was wrong.
And I agree with the Vagueness of the report that Al Quida was going to attack the US before 9/11. That's it, it was Vague, and Terrorists can be pretty shifty and talk big sometimes without Reprocussions (Spelling??). What was Bush Supposed to do? He could have started Hunting Down Al Quida then, starting a war on Terrorism before the 9/11 attack, but people would still complain saying things like. "He got an intel report that they MIGHT attack but yet he still wants to gun them all down." The Next President, Rep. or Dem. is going to make choices, and get the rest of the government (At least the Majority) to back him up, and things will happen, and SOMEONE will complain. This Freedom of speech stuff can sometimes make me sick.
Well yeah, a nuke will take out a city faster then Bio weapons would. But Bio weapons (Being very dirty at first) is generally easier to clean up after. When the plagues and what not settles down, and the population dies out, Nk's can march in and occupy the city with out having to build anything new. It's all there for the taking.
So Say NK drops a dirty bomb on Vegas (Assuming we americans don't try to take vegas back). Everyone in Vegas gets sick, population dies, and NK has a nice pretty city for the taking.
Thanks SiChem.
Now I don't expect Linux to be exactly windows. But it's nice to know that there is a way I can jump right into using linux right from an OS that automates everything. Eventually I'll be able to use the CLI and apt or synaptic yaddi yadda, but untill then, atleast I know I can be a newb and still use my linux box.
Or, with are complete and utter omnipotent and omnicient power, we create machines that will think and do things on their own.
(Note: Omnicient means to know EVERYTHING. Which means that God would know how to make a perfect universe, where everything works, and throw some people in there that only work when they choose to.)
So automatix, (I guess I'll click on the link and find out what it is/How it works.) with this I can get all my basic drivers and software for the various hardware I have and use?
Hehe, I could pay for software, it's just windows, way to expensive, and I have the selfish thought that if I don't pay for it, atleast corporations that have to do honest business will. So it's not like MS will die if I steal myself a copy.
Oh yes, I have heard of Cedega, it's like a wine alternative? Would you say it's the most up to date? (I play Dawn of War, and use google earth mostly. Steam is a definate need, and I would perfer being able to install some windows programs that aren't always games.)
Well, the only answer I can give to that, is life would be pointless if he gave us that spiritual growth. I really can't win that argument, and I'll admit that.
If god instilled spirutual growth in us from birth, then we would know everything, and be given the power of a god, and be a god ourselves (God is a title, not his name). From there, we can then create gods, and start an endless circle of copying our powers with no point. Wouldn't that be...boring? I'm sure he could just give us that spiritual growth, but he didn't, so there must be a reason why we are here to learn.
My boss could just give me a promotion, I definatly could do his job. But that would be pointless, I wouldn't have any experience. My memorys are still mine, if god just gave me spirityal growth, I still wouldn't have experience. If he gave me this growth, I wouldn't be able to have chosen my life, and that would be a complete lack of free will, and even then, were would I go? *POOF* You're a God....now what, make more Gods? Nah, I perfer having my spiritual Children earn this title, so they experience mortal life.
I don't agree.
I'm a windows user, and always have been (Honestly, most of the time my windows is Pirated because it is so Fricken expensive.) With the release of Vista, I want a working alternative so I don't have to keep stealing software (Plus Vista is just going to make it harder to steal anyway.) So whilst switching over, I tried, Ubuntu, Freespire, Fadora. So far, I haven't been able to use them, just because, I can't ever figure out what's missing. I always have trouble installing video drivers, and sound drivers. I'm a gamer, so I try wine (For steam) and can never get that working. I'm getting alittle nervous because it looks like I'm going to have to stop at xp and wait 5 years till a linux distro that is all set up with everything I need comes out.
It would help greatly if it was just easy to download my nvidia driver, double click (Or right click and open) the file and have it start downloading. To install Wine in the same manner and have a list of windows based programs in alphabetical order that will work with wine. Basically, windows it cut and dry. I need a Linux Distro that is just that. Cut and Dry.
Any Suggestions?
Satan isn't equal in omnipotence to god. He's evil. But not the only evil. He's only able to tempt us, but the natural man is evil as well. We get the chance to commit evil, he sees that, and places an idea. But he can only give us ideas. If he was equal in omnipotence, he could force us to do evil, but than we couldn't be accountable.
The war in heaven. Satan was cast out for two reasons 1; He wanted to force man to do right and come back to heaven, taking away mans agency, and 2; He wanted the glory and power of God. God made the law that man will have Agency, He is omnipotent, and can take away my agency. (I should have worded my end phrase better, I meant he can't just like a man can't, or isn't aloud to break the law.) But if he were to take it away, it would make him a liar, which would make him cease to be God. Which will destroy the priesthood which is the governing power (The thing that makes the laws of physics work the way they do) of the universe. But God is perfect, which means he will not do evil. And Lying is evil.
So a better way to have said that would be "I have free-will, and no-one WILL take that from me, not even God."
No, God is Merciful. But he isn't going to grant you eternal life when you won't learn from sins in the first place. And yes, you can learn the difference between right and wrong. I sin everyday (I'm a smoker, and I'm a drinker). I'm not saying I repent daily either, because repenting then repeating is not repenting in the first place. (I'm just lazy, but I know the right path, just haven't bothered walking it recently).
God will only put you in hell when you have had the gospel revealed to you, and you know deep down that the spirit has told you that what you heard is true, (For me it was like my chest was burning, warm inside, and it was just joy. I can't tell you what you will feel, but you will know it.) and then turn around and deny it in your hearts, and to others, as if you don't believe it's true.
You can liken it to looking at the sun, and saying 'The sun is not shining in my face'.
P.S. I'm a Mormon (Not a very good one, a jack Mormon, but I still believe it.), this may not be the way all Christians see it, but this is the way Latter Day Saints, and myself, do. And this is what we believe, and have faith, to be true.
The point of being here isn't for him to know, it's for us to know. He already knows in the long run who will go to "Heaven" and "Hell". But we don't. And in order for us to grow spiritually, we have to go through mortal life and learn. Same reason why math teachers give us the problems and teach us how to solve the problems, then let us do it our selves. The teacher knows the answer, and could just as easily tell us the answer, but then we don't learn, or grow.
Free will is NO problem when it comes to Abrahamic religions. According to most Abrahamic religions, god is Omnicient (Spelling?). Meaning he knows all, everything, and there is no limit to his knowledge. He is also merciful, more than any other living being. The problem is us mere mortals don't know the extent of the evil we commit when we sin, so we don't see the leway god would give us on a daily basis. Onicience would mean that this god would have no limit to his knowledge, which means that time cannot limit his knowledge. So though we have a choice, and have choices laid before us constantly. He knows which choices we are going to make and why we would make this choice. Before I am done, I have to make this point. I am a Christian. Can I explain or prove the existance of god? No. Can I make you believe? No. Because Faith and the basic prinicpals of science cannot mix. There is no experiment to prove god exists. Only faith that when you feel that sure feeling that is telling you that what you are hearing is true, is not just you believing something you want to, but an unknown force/being that is telling you through means of communication we have yet to understand, that what you hear is true.
I guess I kinda got off topic, but bottom line, I made this choice to type, and read/., and get up this morning, I have free-will, and no-one can take that from me, not even god.

Well yeah, that's not all that will happen. Environment changes, will change the way all the animals and plants and such grow/live/migrate.
