I love how every creationist is an expert on all things related to evolution. They alway bring up some insignificant little issue with carbon dating or the theory of evolution, and parade it around as if all the scientists in the world had never even considered them. God, you creationists are so smart!
Occam's razor, the simplest explanation is always the correct one and the simplest explanation in this case is that god created the entire universe in 7 days! So simple a child could understand! Now, THAT is how it's done. Scienced.
Will you please make your voice heard within the Christian community? Share your beliefs with other christians, and make it known that science and knowledge are not enemies of christianity. You need to confront those fundamentalist morons. This is the best thing you can do to stop the growing resentment towards your faith. Those are the people you associate with and hang out in the same building with once a week. Due to their vocalness, those are the people outsiders see.
I feel like most christians believe the earth is only 6000 years old, but have no real attachment to this belief. It is the fundamentalists, a very small minority, who loudly lead people to believe this lie, and they are the only ones with any real attachment to the idea. Like their whole faith is going to come tumbling down if the earth really is billions of years old.
I was once a christian with your belief. I saw no reason (and still see no reason) why christianity must constantly put itself at odds with science. Does god care HOW you think he created the universe? No! He would only care that you think that he did it. And that he's happy with how it turned out. I'm dancing a fine line with my words here... Anyway, I want to be clear: creationism vs. evolution has nothing to do with why I left eventually left christianity. And we'll leave it at that.
Not to disagree, but are you sure you're not confusing correllation and causation? Perhaps there is some other force at work that causes both. Perhaps flaws in education are the root of both problems. Not suggesting education, but it seems like it's correllated the same way.
I want all our problems to be solved just as much as anyone, but it seems like you're jumping to conclusions.
Aw knuckle up dude! The first step towards being an awesome programmer is to believe in your abilities. You remind me of a friend of mine. You'll never go far if you doubt everything you do. Just dive in and make some horrible mistakes. That's how you learn. Good judgment comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgment.
The second step is to adopt the attitude that you can never master programming. There will always be more for you to learn, so keep your eyes peeled. You can never stop learning.
So what I'm saying is, grab Python and write some code. Dive in.
Why is this an argument? I've never used this feature on linux. I've never used this feature on OS X. I've used it on Windows, and I liked it a lot! Worked great! But 99.9% of the time, when I use my computer, I'm actually AT my computer. Therefore, it seems to me like this is implemented in the wrong place. I don't get why people get boners from the fact that X11 is a client/server system.
Corporations see your degree as a piece of paper that proves that you are willing to work long and hard about something that doesn't really matter to you. If it's easy to get the degree, it's probably not worth it.
Peter Molyneux's Black and White was universally hailed as an innovative switch-up in gaming prior to its launch, and frustrated critics referred to it as a toy once they'd had a chance to see the depth of the title's gameplay.
So. Frustrated critics referred to this game.. as a toy.. I FAIL TO SEE THE PROBLEM HERE!!!!
Ok. So it wasn't for you. You didn't relate to it, so you didn't enjoy it. There's plenty of music, movies, and games, and whatever else out there that I don't relate to, but that doesn't mean they suck. I try to keep an open mind.
Lost in Translation is probably my favorite movie, ever. I listen to the soundtrack on a regular basis. In fact, I think it could be said that this movie changed me as a person. Perhaps someday when you feel lost in your life, you should watch the movie again. Perhaps it will strike a chord with you.
I had a dream a couple of years ago, that I was being chased around my apartment by a lobster. An ordinary lobster, crawling along the ground well below walking speed. I was terrified by its persistence! Luckily the dream ended with a stalemate, as seeing how I have much longer legs, the lobster was never able to catch me.
You laugh, but why doesn't someone compile a linux kernel with cyclone? Why not attempt to make a D or even OCaml port? These languages are all safer than C but still compile to machine code.
Oh so it'll be as painless as the switch to PPC from 68k? After all, fat binaries did exist at the time.
I had just purchased a 68k when the PPC line came out. Let me tell you that the transitional period was not painless. Apple has now given every PPC based computer the kiss of death.
If you're too poor to pay the Apple tax (as I was), the next few years are going to be very rough and frustrating. They will end with your computer being worthless.
I always have great things to add to my posts after I finish writing them....
Anyway, a lot of music by J. S. Bach contains religious messages in various levels of directness. But I would argue that anyone can enjoy his work. Same with CS Lewis.

Mods?????? Explain this please????
I'm glad this has been modded up. The People need to understand this problem before it will be fixed.

Wow!!
*Keeps scrolling down for several minutes* Gosh that's really simple! Wait, no, it looks like it'd be easier to just write the code.
I'm kidding!! Mostly...
+5 FUNNY!

So no one would ever log into the site to give their 0-day impressions and/or explain what's so great about the 360? Because I think they would.

Now, I sit back and watch the karma roll in. Right? Please??

It's hilarious to see you talking about writing style with your comical misuse of commas and poor spelling.

It happens to me every day on slashdot. I know... or do I? Come on, mod this up! It's wicked funny!
Sounds like news to me! Submit it! I want to read about XWindows and how it will lead to the demise of the Microsoftian Empire!
Is there a god? What's he like if he exists?
There, that outta get some ad revenue.
You may or may not find this interesting, but Lisp was invented by John McCarthy in 1958 while he was at MIT. That's makes it pretty old as far as languages go... And yet it is still the highest level language we have

I suppose these aren't the droids I'm looking for either? Nice try OBIWAN.
Oh well, at least it wasn't modded informative.
