Are you referring to the Old Testament or the New Testament? Or both? In the Old Testament there are 593493 words so that equates to about 724 GB, and for the New Testament there are 181253 for about 221 GB so that equals about 945 GB so if he tried downloading the bible it would take him over two months. You may want to do some research.;)
What the frack is going on with this world? What idiots are we electing that enact such stupid laws???!!
So are we going to require car repairmen to also have PI licenses since cars contain computers?
There are so many damn idiots in this world and most are located in various state and national capitals.
I used to work in D0 at Fermilab and of all of the places that I've worked since, Fermi was the best place for an engineer like me. I was actually able to do real engineering work while still a student and work that mattered. Also, the environment is casual yet everyone is a complete professional. It is also a very beautiful place to work because of the entire preserve around it and the area in general. I hope Fermilab never shuts down.
I have used a computer for probably over 15 years now and to date I've never had a virus that I am aware of. Too many people are fooled into thinking that computer viruses are much like human viruses and they can spread like a common cold and so they waste money on anti-virus protection.
In the 15 years that I've used a computer I have been to bulletin boards, warez sites (countless warez sites where I obviously only downloaded demos), torrent sites (again for demos), etc, etc, etc. I've also visited various hacker sites (for research info and to help with my own security plans) and probably stumbled accidentally on many, err I mean a few, adult oriented sites. I've downloaded multiple programs (all free, freeware or demos) and during this time I've never had a virus and never used anti-virus protection. Why, because if I know where I go and I know what I'm clicking on and I know what I'm downloading then I will never have a problem. The ones that "catch" viruses are typically the ones that are too stupid to know that a guy offering you $5 million of his $25 million of a bank transfer from Nigeria is not legitimate and well, they deserve the virus. These are the same idiots who click on Google ads and give Google money for being a worthless company. I have no sympathy for those people. If you are too stupid to know what you are clicking on then you shouldn't be clicking in the first place...and those parents who's kids click on stupid links need to butch up and discipline your dumb offspring and save the rest of the world the hassle.
Ok, rant is over now...I must confess that I did get one virus once...it was actually part of an experiment prior to wiping out my drive and reinstalling my OS - I wanted to see what a virus could do....and mind you it was a virus that I, myself, manually had to activate and not some omnipotent super virus that "infected" my computer on its own because such a thing for computers does not exist.
Just to be clear...I know she's not being charged with murder, but any charges against this woman are crazy and are only be brought forth because they can't specifically charger her with murder. Yes, she's a mean person but didn't do anything more than what we've all done in grade school. She should be ashamed for her childish behavior but that's about it.
There I said it. Now if someone goes and dies, am I now responsible?
I cannot believe someone can be held responsible for a death that they did not cause directly - ie shooting someone, running them down with a car, etc. Just because some idiot offs themselves after being made fun of or insulted doesn't mean the bully should be charged with murder. Yes they were ethically a big prick but not a damn murderer. The precedent this could set is horribly scary. No wonder people sue gun manufactures or car manufacturers and not the individual who used the guns, etc. Where is personal responsibility in this world!?!!!?? It seems like it is never our fault but someone elses. HOW SAD!!!!!!
SerpentMage, are you a total idiot or do you just play on these boards??!!!
Seriously, don't give me crap like "two way satellite" because if you knew anything about internet service that is about as useless as a hole in my foot. Satellite internet has horrible lag/latency issues and is just unacceptable for my use.
When I pay for high speed internet and I get internet that is throttled then I don't get what I paid for and I am blatantly being robbed. How would you feel if you knew that the highway in your city had a speed limit of 60mph but when you get on it the city decides to put out some pace cop cars and they prevent anyone from going more than 20mph...I'm pretty sure you'd be pissed. It is one thing if the traffic built up because of too many cars and that caused things to slow down but yet another when they do it on purpose. Even in that situation I would expect the city to use the tax revenue to build a bigger highway to once again increase the speeds of the cars traveling. Well, these fucking ISPs are not doing anything for us other than steal our money. They decrease the speeds yet lie to us that we get high speeds and then they take our money and don't provide improved and better pipes to increase the speeds to match their advertising and promises.
Fuck Comcrap and fuck all of you idiots who think that what they do is ok.
right, and of course those stockpiles of weapons that Saddam had were obviously figments of the inspectors imagination (which they documented and cataloged) and obviously President Bush is so evil that he made all of that up and there in fact were none..yeah. Oh and simply because Saddam said he got rid of everything we should believe him, but when our own President says something he obviously must be lying.
Why don't you go shovel your shit somewhere else and stop commenting on things you obviously know little about...don't you have a Barack rally to go to or something?
So, let me get this straight...what you are saying is that Google has two options: either they abide by the law of a government that has a deplorable human rights record and who persecutes its own citizens and would likely not hesitate for one second to destroy another nation (like, say Taiwan) and turn a blind eye and rake in the cash....or...they, I don't know, stand up for human rights and maybe risk loosing a few bucks. What to do, what to do?
hmm..."Do no evil"...yeah, Google, right....I buy that for one second, right.
hmmm, I wonder how much of the Russian origin of Sergei Brin has to do with his obvious support for good old China. Yay, down with Human Rights, Go Google.
Google has no right (per se) to remove pirate sites from being indexed because that is unfair to everyone. I understand it is their indexing and they could do what they want but I'm trying to say that you don't have a right to decide what is wrong or what is right if you offer yourself up as a free service on the net. It would be one thing if Google pointed to the.mpg/.avi/.mp3/.pdf that was copyrighted, in which case they would have the responsibility to remove it, but they are pointing to a torrent file which is simply the address. It would be like making it illegal for the white pages to list the address of a house because that house sells drugs and then holding the whitepages responsible for all of the drug problems in the world. Yeah, the whitepages doesn't say that this address is a drug house but just because there is a link with the title "StarWars.mpg.torrent" doesn't mean there is necessarily a StarWars movie at that link or there is a documentary about the Star Wars program of the US or a discussion on the miles per gallon that a War of Stars would take....you have no idea what is there and so Google and TorrenSpy should NOT be held accountable. This is shear stupidity and the old farts in charge of our courts need to be replaced by people who've actually used technology in the last 5 years and not simply changed out the battery of their pace makers.
That's my point...there is no difference. None of these sites/programs do anything wrong. Much like a Gun doesn't do anything wrong but the person using the Gun "MAY" (and that's a BIG MAY) do something wrong. Furthermore, site/programs such as these are used for legitimate purposes and the technology is used for limited purposes. To hold these sites accountable for what idiots do on them is not only ignorant but extremely scary to me.
For the love of GOD and all that is mighty how the heck is this even possible?!?!?!! Are we electing complete idiots to the courts these days?!?! Oh, wait, don't answer that one.
Torrentspy contained ZERO copyright material...ZERO, NIL, NADA, NOTHING. It contained no songs, no movies, no books, no videos, no nothing. It simply provided a search functionality that I could do on google (money grubbing bastards) today: searchword filetype:torrent
Why isn't google or microsoft or yahoo or any other site stopped from doing this...geezus krist, the Music And Film Industry Association of America (MAFIAA) can go MAFUCKthemselves.
There goes at least one sale of Spore that has been officially lost.
I'm never going to buy any game that require me to connect to the home office unless it is a network game and that's what I'm using it for. The stupidity in this requirement for a single player off-line game is unbelievable...I guess I'm not really as shocked as I pretend, but I'm horribly disappointed. Screw Spore.
I don't deny there were mistakes on the part of the US, and yes I'm ignorant of the entire Kurdish gasing timeline but my point is still valid. My point was that we have gone in much sooner that we did in World War II...I believe we did. At least we did not hold back like the current Germans, French, Chinese and Russians who would rather have the genocide continue rather than lose the money they were getting. Those countries have been the root of all evil in past 100 years and are continuing on with that tradition to this day...pathetic.
This is a complete fabrication and outright lie. I'm not a fan of Bush or Clinton or Kerry or anyone else but at least I don't go around making up crap like this. And just because someone says these are from "real sources" doesn't mean they are crap.
I'm so glad you tried to compare Kosovo and Iraq...that is so perfect and I love how bad you got the facts. First of, I love how the US is accused of attacking a country that never attacked us, when speaking of Iraq...interestingly I don't recall when Kosovo or Slobodan attacked us yet we still went into Kosovo. Interestingly also, the security council (including China, Russia, France, Germany) tried to block us going against an oppressor like Slobodan Milosovic. Not suprisingly, those same stupid countries were against us going into Iraq. And I don't know how you can miss the fact that WE WERE ATTACKED BY IRAQ!!!! We were attacked every day while our planes were flying over Iraq. We were shot at constantly, but that little tidbit escapes most of the Angry Democrat arguements. In addition, no one ever mentions the countless UN resolutions (supported by most countries) that were passed against Iraq and that Saddam and Iraq constantly broke.
Furthermore, we did NOT go into the war with Saadam only with Britain...that's insulting to all of the 30 other countries in the UN that agreed...again the only dissenting votes were China, Russia, France, Germany. Interestingly those dissenting countries stood to lose millions of dollars if the US went in and cut them all of from the illegal dealings in oil and weapons that had been going down under the watchful eye of the UN.
"Clinton never lied to the people..."...never? I seem to recall he lied about several things...blow job ring a bell? That's besides the point. Bush NEVER lied so why do you have to make up crap that he did. The intelligence that he presented to Congress was provided by the CIA which happened to be lead by George Tenet (A CLINTON APPOINTEE). That intelligence was confirmed by the British. That intelligence was confirmed by Spain. That Intelligence was confirmed by RUSSIA!!! Hello...Russia, who was opposed to us going, confirmed our intelligence...PUTIN was even quoted as saying so!!!!
So, please give me a freaking break and get of your damn soap-box and stop whining how your idiot Kerry got robbed and should be president. Go whine somewhere else. Saadam was an angry, evil, dangerous man who brutally murdered thousands of his own people..much less (likely) than have died in Kosovo. He attacked/invaded other countries. He attacked our troops. He developed weapons of mass destructions and USED THEM to gas his people. He had stockpiles of WMDs that have not all been accounted for....how disposes of various germs/chemicals/bombs/etc and does not provide proof to the UN inspectors? If I supposedly did that, I would generate false documents if necessary to show that I did destroy things. The Missing WMDs are likely in Syria or Iran by now and that transport was likely the result of us not going in to Iraq sooner and is a huge mistake on our part.
I can't write anymore because I'm sick and tired of arguing with angry Democrats that result to making up lies to suit their own agenda. I'm glad this country finally took a stance against an oppressor instead of waiting for millions more to be gassed or burnt alive like when the US and others waited for a long time before taking Hitler out...at least we saved some lives by going in early.
SO any online banking you do or online transactions will now be saved off by these idiots and then they will be able to look at it anytime they please. How the hell isn't this stuff illegal to do? WHere are all are freedoms going? It seems like we won't be able to do anything without being monitored....Damn I want my own island!!!!!!
Saying "one of the first" is so ambiguous...you are either first or you are not. If you are not, then you are at best second and most likely you are copying something that already exists...which is why you are second and not THE first!
And I can guarantee you that IE 7 is NOT THE FIRST to do this. FireFox itself has this capability now. It may only be the skin that I'm using that does this (NOIA Skin), but the capability is demonstrated already. In my case, the text of the address bar changes to green when I go to a HTTPS site. I don't know if it goes beyond that but I suspect that would be a minor addition/capability for the FireFox browser.
What I meant by my rant about FatalNuts, more accurately about the game itself, is that it is NOT fair and does not really demonstrate that you are better than the other guy if you get all of the weapons and then just hunt someone down over and over and over because they can't pick up a single weapon. That takes no skill. I can camp you all day as you spawn and have to go looking for anything bigger than an anal probe just so you can try to kill me. As you run I keep taking your health down so just as you get to the weapon and you have that little bit of hope, I finally finish you off. ZERO SKILL involved.
And of course that is the point of the games as is...that's is my problem with them. That is my problem with the competitions. As they are now is NOT FAIR. If you really want to know who is best one-on-one, then you should force a restart every time a kill occurs. Then you will see who can move the best and who can shoot the best...instead of who can spawn-camp-kill the best as currently happens.
UnrealTournament 2004 (Original UnrealTournamet was the best), has a similar mod...it is called TAM (Team Arena Master)... I believe you can still play it 1v1.
I think I mostly agree with you...and I'd also like to add an observation of how these "pros" play and why is it they win a lot.
I've watched the FatalityDumbass play and it is quite simple...he starts against an opponent obviously even. He runs around collecting weapons and power-ups, as does his opponent. He then gets the first kill and he is set for the rest of the match because all he has to do is keep collecting weapons, health, armor, etc while the opponent must start from scratch and hence is already at a huge disadvantage. Easy win for FatalNumbNuts. Yes, he had to get the first kill to take advantage but that's typically luck because he knows the maps better. At QuakeCon, he played the game for days while it was the first time for his opponents to even start the game up.
In order to make any of these matches fair, you should force a restart after every single kill or give everyone all of the weapons at the start..and NOT INCLUDE SINGLE power-ups...I mean things like double/quad damage because only one person can have that at a time...totally unfair. Play even and then see who is the best.
I'd like to add another point. I guarantee you there are players better than FatalAWipe out there...I've played with many and in some games I am considered a wicked-shot and rank very highly...but we choose not to waste our time playing with ourselves constantly so as to make our gaming skills better...we choose other life pursuits and hence are not part of the "pro-gaming" scene...especially if you live in a small town or outside of where competitions occur or can't afford to travel...hard to prove yourself if you don't have the opportunity and so I challege that FatalNoob is not the best, he's a pretender....yes, I'm just bitter.:)
Comments such as these "I'm not worried" are what worry me the most. If everyone keeps thinking it is not their problem and that this will never happen, then the RIAA/MPAA has already won because they will have no resistance in passing these idiotic, right-restricting measures/bills. They will sneak it past our upturned noses and they will be laughing all the way to the bank.
We have to fight them, we can't simply assume someone else will fight for us.
That may be true for broadcast television, but when I'm paying a monthly fee for Cable/DirecTV and paying for the NFL football package then I should not have to watch commercials. I'm paying my fee so take your damn commercials and shove them!
