  1. Re:Durable phone on Texting Teens Generating OMG Phone Bills · · Score: 1

    ...at least you are on unlimited sms. And just for some idea, im in college and I have somewhere around 20-40 AIM windows open at any given time, between convo's of people from home and people from here. I refuse to give into the sms craze, as IM works just fine. (I love being at a tech school, where even the non-techy's learn to leave their compy's online.)

    What ever happened to IM? When I was 15 (only 5 years ago) I used to just be in chat rooms with all my friends if we weren't physically together. It was much cheaper, we could do other things at the same time, and it didn't rack up huge phone bills, just the cost of broadband (which can be shared more easily than a cell-phone.)

    Even if they did have marriage records, Jesus was never married, (the evidence that says he was, is unreliable at best,) so he wouldn't have a marriage record. The best you would find would be that Joseph and Mary were married.

    Photo's weren't invented until much later than Jesus Christ lived and died. I also don't think the Romans had birth certificates, and if they did how many actually survive? Just because you probably don't believe he was the messiah, doesn't mean he never actually existed.

    I've held my breath for over 3 minutes.

    My cable at school (ROC, NY) is in the 6mbps range, but my cable at home is 15mbps, with an option for 30mbps. So broadband isn't as slow in parts of the US (LI, NY) as you may think.

    I'm a bit curious as to where this 6000 year number came about from. It's definitely no where in the bible, so.........what gives? I also don't recall it saying anything about it being created 4000 years before Jesus anywhere in the new testament. So can someone show me how this number is arrived at?

  13. Re:As a Christian myself... on Christian Group Prepares To Mark Wii as 'Porn Portal' · · Score: 1

    There was no change of mind. Jesus came and his sacrifice (sacrifice was required for atonement of sins) was all that was needed. Because Jesus was perfect, he could actually pay for everyone's sins thereby making all that is now necessary was to just accept his sacrifice for ourselves. That is the doctrine of grace.

    As far as the Romans were concerned, there was no difference between the regular Jews and the followers of Jesus, who were all Jewish. Christianity was also orginally recognized as a sect of Judaism, it wasn't until sometime after the fact that Christians actually started being refered to as Christians.

  22. Re:He likes it, but doesnt want to say he likes it on Mossberg - Vista Is Worthy, Largely Unexciting · · Score: 1

    I wonder, maybe XP was just good enough, and didn't really need to many improvements, besides the security patches it has been receiving, not mention two full service packs.

    XP is ok on older hardware, but it runs beautifully once its got a gig of ram to play with. 2 gigs is even better, but its one of things where you can live with it until you upgrade. I was fine running it on a k6-2 500 with 256mb ram until about 2 years ago, when I got my latest system. Since then I've got two Athlon 64 based laptops, all my systems now run a gig of ram, and that's the major performance benefit.

    I've used Vista, and I plan to put it on all my pcs as soon as possible because I like it. It feels a bit snappier with the Aero interface, and works well for audio and video editing. It works well for how I use it, plus I like the added benefits I get from the updated security and user settings.
