I'm a Republican and a conservative and I think he sucks moose dick.
Hopefully you can find some photographic evidence of this and get it published. That might help get him out of office and into prison where he belongs.
The house cat is a completely artificial life form to start with. Nothing like it (built like a top preditor, but fundamentally too weak to make it w/o catfood from a can) would ever evolve naturally.
Don't know much about cats, do you? They catch rodents, bats, birds (even hummingbirds) and I've even seen one catch a fish. Granted my old roommate had put the fish in the cat's water bowl but it was caught nonetheless;-)
To reflect on the fact that a toy poodle is descended from wild wolves blows my mind sometimes.
A small terrier or something would be a better example. I thought everybody knew that toy poodles came from rats which were pumped full of steroids in some sicko scientist's lab.
That's preposterous. Divine or not, Doctrine and Covenants hasn't changed since it was written in the mid 1800's. Your post is absurd to the point of being laughable. I've been Mormon for 24 years and never had to change any Book of Mormons in for a "new copy". So please qualify your statements with fact.
My wife's parents lived in Utah for a number of years and collected the different versions as a curiosity. You didn't mention anything about the whole caffeine thing which was a major development. Coca Cola's cash was more important than the divine word, I guess.
In regards to the church being businesslike, sure, they even own stores that their teaching materials are disseminated through. And that money is put back into finding more converts. The whole thing is very efficient.
Very efficient at bringing in cash and bringing in new converts. Mostly the new converts are brought in by the existing members of the church having lots of kids. Given that it is a relatively new religion the whole lots of kids thing makes sense from the perspective of jacking up membership, hence profits. From a rational perspective, not recognizing that that motivation was there from the start is silly. Yes, it's much more reasonable to believe that there are billions of spirit children waiting around in limbo for you to fuck so they can be born. So many in fact that after you die you go away to a new planet to populate it.
I don't see the connection that makes them bad citizens in a free society however.
Because as a citizen of a free society you have one and only one fundamental responsibilty. To be informed. To blindly accept things you are told when there are far more rational explanations based on human nature for the specifics of the belief is shirking your fundamental duty.
The very fact that we have a free society is the reason they can do what they do. They are exercising their freedoms. Would you rather we went back to not having the freedom of religion?
I never said they shouldn't be allowed to do what they do. I am saying that they should step up and move beyond it. Think. Use the brains that they have. Question. Accepting anything on faith alone is idiotic and has always throughout the history of our species led to suffering and misery for the masses to the benefit of the ones feeding them the shit they religiously swallow.
Taking caffeine is not a sin. It's found in the Word of Wisdom, which makes a reference to "hot drinks" i.e. tea and coffee. They are guidelines to live by to have a rich a rewarding life.
You're leaving out the part that this was only recently changed to say this after Coca Cola inc paid the church a great deal of money to change this. The Mormon bible is revised all of the time and good Mormons are supposed to turn in or destroy all older copies. So nice try, but taking caffeine was a sin until very recently.
The Mormon church is a business like all churches. Anyone who believes there is a scrap of divine insight in their bible (or any other for that matter) is a doublethinking ignorant tool. I do agree this doesn't make them bad people. Bad citizens of a free society though? Absolutely. I'd be amazed if anyone even tried to counter that rationally.
I worked with a newspaper for a couple years, the writers wouldn't know grammer or spelling if it hit them in the face....narry.. concidering it was their job.
I really hope you were a writer and not an editor.
I would say that windows is in place because of religous users. people who are afriad to look else where for what MAY happen, or for having a licences revoked(excomunicated?)
I agree with you to a point on this, but my interpretation differs. It is religious, but in the sense that religious people find some sort of answer and then quit looking.
Jeez, funny you mention your kid. This whole mess too reminds me of my 4-yr old boy testing how much he can get away with.
Seriously, both of you. I know, you're good nice understanding parents and all that, but how hard would you have smacked you kid if he was SCO right now?
But in America, when was the last time you took a train anywhere outside a city?
Friday. I didn't wake up in time this morning and had to drive.
Can you visit your favorite malls, go to work, etc all with public transportation?
Yep.
If so, congratulations, you must be one of the few.
Thanks. It's pretty cool. Especially since you can drink on the train (Chicago Metra). So on Friday I'm drinking a few beers relaxing with my train peeps while the suckers driving home are stuck in traffic for a couple of hours;-)
I live a block from the freeway, a block and a half from the El and 2 blocks from the train. Access to transportation was one of the major factors in picking out a location.
I moved from San Diego, and while there is a decent public transportation system, it takes way too long to get most places using it.
then I don't see how open software on the closed platform receives much of a benefit
Open software that ran only on windows would not receive a benefit, but cross platform apps like Open Office, Apache, and Mozilla would get the benefit of network effects.
I use Wells Fargo online banking all the time. I use Mozilla or Konqueror under Linux. No problems.
Anybody who would look at actual facts and say, "Whatever," is just a troll, anyway.
The actual facts that I look at are that of the 3 major and 1 minor online banking systems I use, none of them have problems.
The parent was caliming that if you ever try one it won't work. That is what the whatever was in response to. A false statement.
I'm glad to hear you guys still support Netscape 1.1, Lynx, and WebTV. Or, possibly, you are just making shit up. One or the other.
It works perfectly in the modern graphical browsers I have tried it with. I just tried it in lynx and the main page didn't even load. So all was hyperbole rather than "making shit up".
Come on, its almost $12 a piece or twice the price before the case. And we all know its gonna be worth zero in few weeks.
So you short it for a few weeks, their lawyer calls in sick and pulls another delaying tactic. The price will stay fairly stable until after you get called and you're broke as hell.
Unless you have great insight into how long this crap will take, this is a bad idea.

3 Senate terms = 18 years
9 terms in the House of Reps = 18 years
Right, but the terms for the House are already a third as long as those in the Senate by design.
No reason to give them the same term limit.
Humans don't need genetic engineering or even planned breeding programs to produce interesting effects... check out the Singapore Drain Cat
There are even other methods as well which lead to very interesting results. Are you familiar with the Bonsai Kitten?

Linus uses an 8 space indent, which as far as I can tell is pretty rare
;-)
I'm surprised nobody has told him that you can adjust that in vi.
Think I should post the info to LKML

Haven't seen it yet.
I hope I don't get banned from here now

I curse that movie for making that word popular.
Umm... What word and what movie?
Click here for actual video footage of a Microsoft exec feeling the Spirit! Hallelujah!!!

From an interview [byte.com]with Chris Sontag, SCO's Senior Vice President in Byte. Sounds more like Donad Rumsfeld than Mohammed al-Sahaf.
Either way you're talking about a delusional maniac spewing lies anyone with a scrap of sense knows are crap.
which I have discovered make you horny and hallucinate at the same time. Very deadly combination if you ask me.
Jeepers, I'd think so.
I thought beer goggles were bad enough when you go to bed with Bo Derek and wake up next to Bo Diddley.

You use a hyperlink. Bog standard HTML.

Check out a few online banking sites, they throw a fit if you try to login with another browser,
Whatever.
I work for a Credit Union. Our online banking works fine in all browsers as does all major banks I've done business with.
Oh, well, it's all FUD until IBM decides to act publicly. Like everyone else here, I'm really curious to see where they plan to go with this charge.
