Your post reminded me of that old Richard Pryor movie, "Monty's Millions" I think it was called.. where he needs to spend the $30 million in 30 days to win the full inheritence of $300 million.. Love the campaign slogan for his election, "None of the above!" Unfortunately for Monty, people were voting for him!
Sort of.. the jewish idea of hell is more-or-less compatible with the Christian(catholic predominantly) idea of purgatory. Hell for the Jew is a tormented but temporary place for their souls, but not permanent/everlasting punishment for their "crimes" against God. Some will have to endure greatest punishment in the jewish "purgatory" but they will always be released. Their souls are to be "recycled" or reincarnated yet again until they reach perfection (another matter for discussion)... the latter dogma I mentioned as you might notice is diametrically opposed to the conventional christian understanding of the human spirit & soul.. (ie. you're damned to hell for ever lasting time unless you repent and accept jesus..)
Chrisitanity and Judaism don't have much to do with each other, except for their common history and father figures. Their philosophy and belief set is as different as Buddhists are from Christians. Luckily Jews are not born into sin like Christians are... this gives them so much more latitude in their life:)
if CIA/NSA & FBI Were working AT google, as full-time employees, on their staff. I should go grab my tin-foil hat right ? Well, this all reminds me of another story about the two dozen military specialists in psychologic operations were employed at CNN.
"Psyops personnel, soldiers and officers, have been working in CNN's headquarters in Atlanta through our program 'Training With Industry,'" said Major Thomas Collins of the US Army Information Service in a telephone interview last Friday. "They worked as regular employees of CNN. Conceivably, they would have worked on stories during the Kosovo war. They helped in the production of news" . ..
Google is leading the front of one of those 'key' american industries and it seems inevtiable the CIA & u.s. military would love to control it, so it shouldn't come as any to surprise when it's confirmed.
this fucking depressing, can firmware updates fix these streams of bluetooth hacks? Or is the problem so close to the hardware that nothing but scrapping the device and building from ground-up fix it ?
Indeed, doesn't take much for it add up real quick. My father just recently traded in over 5 tons of copper, at $1.27 lb iirc. Doesn't need it now, his retirement package is beautiful but it's a nice perk to have extra cash like that.
Heh, the russians were tearing the Nazi's the shreds by the time that happened. If Hitler hadn't gone completely nuts and kept his end of the bargain with Stalin, d-day would have been an utter disaster for the brits/americans/canadians/aussies. They didn't get lucky, they just planned well, knowing Nazi hardware wouldn't be the deciding factor.
This is garbage... governments use this stuff all the time. "operation spam zombies".. that's nice, here in the u.s. it would be called "Operation Spam Freedom" or "Patriotic Eagle Soaring through the Sky liberating helpless victims of Zombie Tyrants + Freedom"..
Governments have gotta do this to make sure people continue to have faith in their masters.
2) A homosexual couple will not reproduce (no chance of hh mixing with hh, only Hh and Hh)
Assuming there is a gay gene, then of course not, but you're ignoring huge social factors that have made passing that trait forward quite likely. And again, assuming this gene exists, if it were not for tyrannical religious groups, this gene may have faded away thousands of years ago. If the church really wants this gay 'disease' to go away, they should encourage early marriage for gay teens.
3) By its nature, this genetic trait would find itself dwindling in existance.
Cannot the same thing be said for Multiple sclerosis, aspergers, cystic fibrosis, hemophelia, sickle cell, tay-sachs, etc etc etc ? Hell even people with blue eyes are defying a strict interpretation of natural selection. Those disease have been around forever with no end in sight.
*shrug* I don't know if there is a gene for homosexuality. What I do know is the gay kids in high school were showing signs of their sexuality long before puberty. Everybody knew they were a bit different, by the way they acted, dressed, just behaved in general... Then guess what happened, some of them admitted they were gay during high school... I imagine others hid their secret.
A lot of people say it's a choice.. Well, I never made the choice to be hetereosexual, that's just the way it was. And for those few gay kids that I went to school with, it wasn't their choice either, that's just the way they were. A gene causes this? No clue, I don't think it matter except to the religious & bigotted.
Well for one, with the Intel two-cpu module offerings, you will need a new motherboard and well as a new powersupply judging from some of these power consumption graphs. With the AMD dualcore chip, you can use your current mobo and update your firmware, power consumption is comparable to most single core computers.
Maybe I'm wrong but isn't that the best metal for thermal conductivity? It's a wee bit expensive sure, $10-12/oz right ? Hundred bucks should build a pretty solid heatsink.
hmmm, that reminds me, was there ever a follow up story to those people that were camping out 500 days in advance of the latest star wars movie ? I seem to remember it being mentioned on slashdot a long time ago.
one of the problems a lot of people have with key combo's is the control key... that is if you're using a pc keyboard as opposed to a unix keyboard where the control key is located with the caps lock button is..
I've use pckeyboards everywhere, so i'm stuck with the control key at the bottom left and right hand sides... it's sooo bloody awkward to press alt-cntrl-key.... but with the capslock acting as cntrl it's much easier and damned easy.. and all those bloody emacs key combos make sense now..
Should've done this 15 years ago, bloody acer keyboard is almost dead.
Ya, I was just watching the video linked in the story. One of the people testifying mentions the same point about the previous marketing campaign to link marijuana terrorism and what an utter failure it was, how it turned into a joke... Lieberman responds, "The public considered it far-fetched ?"... then he goes on to say the marketing people might have better luck this time around..
lol, I'm laughing too.. i'm not sure which is funnier, that the mpaa/riaa would say this to congress with a straight face or that congress would sit there with a straight face and take them seriously ?:)
oh please, why is it always a conspiracy theory just because you don't know about it personally? I'll even give you some Newsmax sources,
"The Chinese air force is equipped with the Harpy medium-range anti-radar missile acquired from Israel, and its new Chengdu J-10 strike fighter uses technology obtained from the canceled Israeli Lavi program.link
Here we go from the Asian Times, " Israel has also been a long-standing supplier of advanced military technologies to China. According to the findings of a past US congressional committee chaired by Representative Christopher Cox (Republican-California), Israel has "offered significant technology cooperation to the People's Republic of China, especially in aircraft and missile development", including helping China build its current F-10 fighter jet." LINK
Here's a nice article from the Jerusalem Post about the u.s. suspending cooperative development on the arrow-2 missile defence system with Israel. quote, "A source quoted by MENL explained the rationale for the encroaching US boycott: "It's all about China." As the report explained, "The Pentagon, with full support of the administration, does not want to deal with Israeli products or technology that could be sent to China."
There's plenty more information available from all your favourite right-wing sources about the chinese-israeli love affair that's been going on for 20 years. You just have to look because FoxNews & CNN are not interested in telling you about it.
90% 85% 95%.. doesn't matter. The market share IE enjoys in no way reflective of it's quality. I know a bunch of supply-sidings free market zealots on slashdot will moan about it, "Let the market decide which is the better *product*." If that were the case here, IE would have a 1% share of the browser market.
Alas, we live in the twilight zone where Microsoft gives away it's flagship product and that's called Capitalism!
Well duh, all I said was that it was fine, sell it at whatever cost you feel the market will bear. I didn't say that it was economically viable to sell linux at $1000/seat, stop being so anal.
Why does it have to be a free CD? I seem to recall that most FOSS licenses allow you to sell copies of the software.
Yep, if you or I or anybody else wants to sell a $1000 boxed version of Linux, that's fine. As long as the source is offered or included with it. I wonder about the trademark issues with Mozilla/OOo/etc logo's.. are these organization anal about who uses them and when ? Would it be a problem for me to sell a boxed version of firefox with the firefox logo all over it ?

And I bet they play golf like their Glorious Leader does!
