    So I guess Google isn't big enough to need oracle yet? They're still using MySql for everything...

    It has never happened before. It isn't real. Anyone who claims to have had their identity stolen is a coward and a fraud. The end.

    I agree mostly with what you said, except for the manual part... if you need instructions on how to use the commander and squad modes then you aren't intuative enough to be playing. In fact, just sell your computer because you're too stupid to use one. If selling your pc is too challenging, then carry it out the curb and leave it for a homeless guy to pick-up... I'd rather be in his squad.

  9. Re:But it *is* a console game! on Review: Battlefield 2 · · Score: 0

    What??? HELLO!!! No. Battlefield 2 was designed to be a sequel to the PC game battlefield 1942. The creators have branched out and are creating a console version of this game, but their main market has/is/will be PC gaming.

    The problem is that most computer users are STUPID STUPID STUPID!!! My firm is currently doing research on phishing and prevention and we have successfully aquired usernames, passwords, and other vital info from 94% of the test users... Like taking candy from a baby... so as long as people are stupid enough to give out their passwords and socials and such phishing will be a problem.

    True, however, most people that are buying/making Chat-Cords and have broadband internet aren't lacking in the food, water, and shelter categories. I would venture to say that 90%+ of people that have high speed internet also have a cell phone. These are the people I was referring to when I said everyone in the world. Obviously the invisible children in the Sudan don't have cell phones.

    Actually... It's ok to be angry. The Bible just says don't sin in your anger.

    And second of all, doing all of those things would make us (Chrisitans) perfect and without a need for redemption because we would be without sin.

    You're right about one thing though, there are not near enough Christians living out those principles. I try to everyday, but I admit it is hard to do.

  20. Re:I wonder on Google vs. Yahoo: On a Collision Course · · Score: 1

    Like I said, i havn't been to Yahoo's site in about 4 months. Totally turned me off to them as a whole. Yahoo probably does make millions, but consider the vast size of Yahoo compared to the still relatively small size of Google (in terms of employees ect.) Also, Google's cost of operation is considerable less (from what I've seen) than any other major competitor. Overall I've had really good experience using Google's technologies even if they did "buy" a lot of them from other companies... I want somebody to show me one succesfuly multi-billion dollar company that didn't buy the ideas of others and impliment them in a better way. I don't there there is one... at least not in IT.

    The difference is Google is making billions each year doing what Yahoo does but doing it better (obviously). When it comes down to it, isn't their real goal to make money and be successful? The I'd say they're doing things right!

    Personally, I hate yahoo... Simply because there are pop-up flash ads all over their website now. I never go there anymore.
