You see, now you are getting into the debate on rather your actions are bound by fear (a belief, in this case, that you will be held accountable.) One could argue that if you live your life simply because of fear of reprisal at death, are you truly a moral person or are you progressing a strain of anger eternally and passing it along to your children? If someone can live their life productively while not believing in a "God" figure, wouldn't that make them a better person than someone who's only motive not to kill their neighbour is fear?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but if we do finally solve all the questions posed by physics, biology, neurology, et al... Would we not be "God" ourselves? We would be able to create whatever we wanted having full knowledge over matter, cause and effect chains, and all that. So, while striving to find all the answers, we'd become "Gods" ourselves, thus invalidating all religion except that of answers. You'd find that "God" is you and I and your friends, family, etc. If that were the case, then who created you would be possibly answered, but who created your creator?
I still think randomness and evolution are a better fit to the answer to how we got here than holding out for the chance that there may be someone that created us, opening the door to the questions of what created it/them. Claiming that you simply don't have enough information may be the easy route, but it's like sitting on the couch and saying... "I give up... It's just too much to think about." Just like all religion, you'd be settling on the answer that makes you feel most comfortable.
My big problem with Chronicles of Riddick wasn't any of the cinematography or plot or anything like that... It was the jump from a sci-fi setting to a fantasy setting.
That's pretty much how I felt about Event Horizon. Sci-Fi turned thriller. I was getting into it, right up to the end.
Last time I checked, the Ubuntu repo installs the 32-bit player with ndiswrapper that has always suffered from crashiness for me. I had to manually install the 64-bit Flash player to enjoy stability.
Report a open source bug and you get told why you are wrong, or why they can't be bothered to fix it... But if you provide a patch you have a chance of being taken seriously.
Anyone can complain about anything, but taking action and finding a solution is much better received in any situation. I don't see your point.
or how unreasonable you are for demanding they fix your problems.
Demanding that someone fix a problem is generally not acceptable anywhere.
no system-wide color management...(and color managed)
Can someone tell me what this is even supposed to mean? That you can't adjust the color deltas based on your monitor's color reproduction quality like you can in Windows? Is that the complaint here?
I must really be getting old, because I don't see the point of stressing that you want to kill it "with fire" when you could say something much more concise. "Kill it with fire" sounds like something ripped straight from the bowels of an A.D.D. teen populated forum. The only thing that could make it more juvenile would be to change the spelling of the words and paste it in a picture of a cat with a stupid look on it's face.
No spam here... Compared to Facebook and those incessant applications everyone keeps using. I have quite literally turned off everything but allowing friends to post on my wall and I still get invites to make someone's farm bigger or stupid greeting card invites. I see no option to deny all applications forever, only individual ones as they are sent to me.
what you are saying is that you ask the burglar if he is breaking and entering. The GP was asking the owner of the house if that burglar belongs there. There's a difference.
Of course you don't ask the file if it's the right version. You run a CFC check on the file (and possibly compare key bits of the file) and ensure that the file is the right one. You don't ask the file if it's proper...
I can point out a handful of people with (n) years of experience putting mirrors on a car, but that doesn't mean they are an expert car builder. Being "in IT" anymore could be someone that runs Ethernet cable to someone that processes orders for NewEgg. It could even be someone that works at Best Buy in the support section. It doesn't mean they know how a computer works and can install an operating system. (Although, every version of Linux I've installed recently has pretty much just worked so I can't see the problem here...)

We are organized here, reproducing asexually (it's a work in progress), responding to posts...
I'm registered. therefore I am.
Does that mean basketballs aren't spheres? ;)
I suppose there's a long an involved quest you have to complete before handing in your gold for this upgrade?

*shakes fist and mumbles *
What's up with two posts from two supposedly different people in the same thread wanting to "kill it with fire?"

I'm sure the cases would be dropped like all the others. ;)
AC's don't get mod points! ;)
If you never plug it in, how do you get it to work!?

Depends on your definition of "fix"...
"You dirty little... I'll fix you!" - yes
"This is how you fix that issue" - no
They say ignorance is bliss... ;)
"I'm a" bullshit
I think I'll pass watching those videos.

Now the real question is why
Why not?
They don't do video game consoles, keyboards, mice, or portable media players... *cough*
Depends on what you qualify as "high speed." ;) Compared to walking, it's very fast.
There are quite a few long distance train services in the US. Most of them are scenic routes because nobody wants to sit on a train that long.
Here is a site you can go to for tickets if you want to sit on one of these long boring rides: http://www.amtrak.com/servlet/ContentServer?pagename=Amtrak/HomePage
They even offer sleeping cars because some of these trips are days...
it was needed because they plan to make some additional money by selling expansions and additional content.
There must be a different meaning for the word "needed" that I'm unaware of.
