  1. Re:He's an idiot on HP's Windows Bundle Trouble · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure Microsoft offers licensing discounts as long as they're exclusive. Start selling machines with Linux and the discount is lost, and the $800 HP becomes $1000.

  2. Re:do the math on More Bioware For Linux? · · Score: 1
    I understand there is little to no to negative return on something like this right now. However, do game companies think that those 1-5% market share platforms will remain that small given the opportunity to grow?

    Sure Linux is still not used by the general public, but with Apple's growing popularity, game developers should REALLY consider making their games portable to Macs.

    I know myself and a bunch of other people would buy games put out for Linux and mac if it was available. But, I'm unfortunately stuck playing all the games I want to play on Windows.

    Apparently in reading the last line of that post, you missed the point of the last line of that post.

    IE Tab is good for most IE emulation, however I have run into circumstances where I still needed to use the actual IE browser.

  5. Re:Slavery on PSP Ad Draws Charges of Racism · · Score: 1

    Agreed. This country can never be cured of it's racism in any manner unless it truely believes, in law, and in personal practice, in the media and in every other facet of our society, that the color of a person's skin is not a reason to treat them any different.

    The great love talked about in the Bible is one of giving people the benifit of the doubt, rather than assuming first off that they're out to get you and to demean you. It's one that needs alot more consideration among this country as a whole. Read 1 Corinthians 13 for the full details.

  6. Re:No point to this study on Prayer Does Not Help Heart Patients · · Score: 1

    You know, I can't really say I know exaclty why that study didn't return 100% results. I know that ultimately, there is a reason those prayers weren't granted. I know that God's anger and jealousy burns against His enemies. And I know that the reason the prayers weren't granted, wasn't because God didn't hear them or because He didn't care. I know I kinda left that wide open for your interpretation and I appologize for that. I know that God loves all people and calls all people to be believers and followers. I also know that He does many many things that don't seem reasonable, from a human standpoint, and I also know that I'm not stupid enough, or ballsy enough, to challange Him on what I don't understand. And you know... all my crazy ranting is probably for nothing anyway because, in any sense of eternity, what the heck do I know? Speculating anything in this is far beyond my ability to even semi-reasonably do. So, I'll just leave it that this study proves nor disproves anything. I shall simply continue to put my faith and trust that He know's what He's doin. Just something else to consider: Prayer may not have effected these peoples physical well being. I'd be a little curious to know how it effected their spiritual well being. For a Christian, this life is far from the end, and spiritual health far more bennificial than physical health.

  7. Re:No point to this study on Prayer Does Not Help Heart Patients · · Score: 3, Funny

    Greetings slashdot Christians! I have to say, that I'm not in the least bit surprised that God declined this opportunity to be used as a drug. However, "carefully examining the role of the human spirit in healthcare does not diminish its mystery, but it separates the mystery from the question of utility in healthcare practice," Krucoff said. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective. James 5:16 I would like to remind the world that the reason prayer even works in the first place is because the Almighty God who is listening to the prayer decides to contiually look upon us with His grace and mercy. It works because GOD chooses, not because man chooses. It wrenches my heart to think that God may choose to decline the prayers of so many based on the faults of a few men. Ultimatly though, He is a jealous God, and a force NOT to be reckoned with. I might also add, while His grace reaches to all men, saved and unsaved, His promises to never leave nor forsake, to answer when we call, and to take us home to heaven are made explicitly for those who believe and follow Him.

  8. Re:City of Jedi on Future Plans for SWG? · · Score: 1

    The problem with 10,000 Jedi running around, is that this isn't suppose to be a time when 10,000 Jedi are running around. If my memory serves me properly, SWG takes place between episodes 4 and 5, AFTER the clone wars and AFTER Vader mercilessly slaughtered 9,998 Jedi. Yup, so the only Jedi he wasn't suppose to have gotten rid of was Yoda and Obi-Wan right? So my question about SWG is, "Why are you even allowed to be a Jedi class?" I commend SOE with that brilliant piece of story line engineering.
