You are absolutely right. I guess I was just too focused on my neighbor's wife.
Just look at the root of the word 'Christianity': Christ. If the religion contains the belief and and importance of Christ as part of it's foundations, then it is a form of Christianity.
Christianity has nothing to do with the presence or absence of priests.
Some forms of Christianity have priests (Catholics), some do not, but all forms of Christianity have the belief in Christ as part of it's core.
Because it is being forced on them in science classes. If it were to be limited to philosophy or religious study classes as electives, then there would be no problem.
Picture frames you can load up with your own pictures (goatse), TV that you can load with youtube vids (Rick Ashley). Think of the possibilities here. Where else can you goatse AND rickroll everyone at the same time!;-)

Only if the pr0n was starring the watcher's neighbors. As in: 'Thou shall not covet thy neighbor's wife."
Which opens up the wives to be able to freely covet husbands whether they were neighbors or not. Also the field would be wide open to pr0n that featured married male gay pr0n, since nobody's wife was involved being coveted. It can get sticky from there.;-)
See, that is more along the lines of what I've been thinking also. I think that the search is a significant part of the deal, but not all of it by a long shot-more like icing on the cake.
Yahoo! has an interesting patent portfolio that may be a bigger target than just the search.
I also have to wonder if MS had anything to do with Carl Icahn stepping into the picture to 'stir the mud puddle' and help push Yahoo! towards MS.
It will be interesting to see how the dust settles on this one.
I think part of it is fondness for games, and another part is that the MS XP version comes with 'higher spec' hardware as a result of some shady deal with MS, IIRC.
If it is available for the distro you're using, give 'keytouch' a try. Works great for my MS Natural Multimedia 1.0A keyboard on kubuntu. (I've been using keytouch with Kubuntu since 6.04 version and have never had any trouble with all the extra buttons not working)

*Disclaimer* I knew it would not work, just curious on what would happen. I run Kubuntu 8.04 and ff3.
LOL! I stared at that for several minutes trying to figure out what I was missing. I liked the sound of it, it rolls off of the tongue in an interesting way. It kind of freaked my cubicle mate out though as I repeated it with different accents and emphasis on different vowels and consonants. He went and fetched our boss who kept asking if I was okay. I would nod my head 'yes' while repeating it. Good Times!
If you're not trolling, then all I can say is your username fits you like a glove.
I will not debate or argue with you for two reasons: 1. You are too stupid to waste time on. 2. "Never argue with a fool. Someone watching may not be able to tell the difference."-Unknown (from FamousQuotes.com)
"When an adult woman impersonates a 13 year old girl (who is a living person, known to the target), that is fraud." If that was what happened, you may be right. What actually happened is Drew made up a fictional person named Josh Evans, a 16 year old BOY.

Well being /. the operative word is 'hard'.
"For good measure, please also add a car analogy."here you go!
Well, it's like those "compact car parking only"parking spots you see.
Then again, it could depend on the file system you use as to how much usable space you end up with.(this one may be NSFW-no nudity, just chains and leather bikini-clad gal with sledge hammer)
Or if you use disc compression.
That should be modded either +1 funny, or +1 WTF?!?!?

Well, the date in Ruwaldt's letter mentioned in TFA was 18 July, 2006.

That would make a GREAT 'reality' TV show! I'm all for it. If that would come to pass, I might even be tempted to watch TV again.
just burn them instead...at least that way you can use them as a fuel source instead of using fuel to turn them into mush.
