A lot of times, people think Mormons (especially our missionaries) are out saying, "We're right; every one else is wrong." That's not really the case. I firmly believe all religious truth comes from one source. I also believe there are other forces corrupting or manipulating that truth and that is why there are so many different religions.
I'm a Mormon because I've found the church's teachings answer more spiritual questions than anything else I've seen, and that includes recognizing that other religions teach true principles.
So, back to my original post, "Marriage is a religious institution between a man and a woman," regardless of who preforms the ceremony. I also believe those with the proper authority can bind a husband and wife beyond "death do us part." If you'd like some better answers to "what mormons believe", I'd suggest you check out mormon.org.
I'm also LDS, and I agree with the church's two positions:
1.) Marriage is a religious institution between a man and a woman.
2.) Sex outside of marriage is a sin regardless of who is involved (man, woman, another man, another woman, children, sheep, etc.).
But, I also agree with the church's position that laws should protect the rights of those who don't believe as I do. In other words, I support civil unions, but I will resist attempts to redefine the word "marriage".
Full disclosure: I work in marketing for a small cable operator in Nevada
The FCC requires cable companies to have a basic tier and expanded basic tier that subscribers must carry before adding multiplex premiums, sports tiers, etc. The cable company isn't forcing you to take it, your government is the one with the heavy hand. Satellite providers are not regulated in the same way. That's why you can buy an all spanish package on Dish, and not from your cable company. Frankly, its an unfair playing field in favor of Satellite.
Second, your cable company MUST provide you a cablecard if you request it. Again, the FCC ruled that unlocking the programing cannot be tied to a cable company provided box. That rule took affect in late 2007. They can charge a reasonable fee for the mcard, but they can't force you to use their box.
Not a lot of devices are actually compliant with the CableCard spec. TiVos work, but many TVs with a slot may need a firmware flash to work. Good luck with that.
As to the lawsuit, I doubt the plaintiff is going to prevail. While Comcast is a big evil corporation, they are operating within the bounds set by the FCC. The reason you can't buy a cable box on the open market is there is no profit in that business model. Unless she can show they are violating regulations, the suit is meritless.
I'll admit I'm a fanboi, but seriously, when was the last time you had a virus on a Mac? I think I had an infected zip disk when I was using System 9. Most antivirus software will identify signatures of known viruses or virus like behavior. Since there aren't any know viruses for the Mac to date, what is their software doing other than protecting my wallet from getting fat?
It's been a few years since I took those pre-med human physiology classes, so bare with me. Muscle is much like scar tissue. It doesn't grow unless it is damaged. Stretching doesn't loosen muscle fibers, it essentially breaks them, triggering a growth/increased strength response.
For consumers, BETA tapes are a dead standard. But I'm sitting here surrounded by BETA tapes from major national networks and advertising agencies.
When an industry settles on a standard, don't expect a replacement for 20-30 years. The video and audio industry expects to use firewire for at least another 10 years. By eliminating firewire from the low end laptops, Apple is imposing a "pro" tax on the A/V production industry. Considering we already pay a premium over comparable PC equipment, Apple is going to see switchers going the wrong way for this decision.
I typically vote republican, and I was a delegate to the republican county convention here in Nevada this year, but I've decided to vote Obama this year.
Maybe the man hasn't been in politics long enough, but there isn't any real dirt on the man. He really is a good honest man with a loving family. Contrast that with McCain. When McCain returned from Vietnam, both he and his (former) wife were vastly different people. No one would have blamed him for calling it quits on their marriage. Instead of caring for his crippled wife, he choose to live a fast life chasing any blond tail he could get his hands on. John McCain's moral compass points too far off true north for my vote. He even choose a running mate who is oblivious to her ethical shortcomings.
When I look at party platforms, I don't agree with a lot of Democratic ideals, but when I look at the man running for president, I see a man who has values that reflect my own.
I'm wondering about the rational behind that decision. After all, isn't the ability to use iMovie to make your own home movies a big selling point for the consumer level Macs?
Without a firewire interface, iMovie (and by extension iDVD) seems like it would be useless.
I'd just be happy if I could backup my SSBB save file. That or if they would require the pin number before my 3 year-old gets in and deletes everything he can find.
Why don't you conduct some personal tests. Consider creating a script that encompass your typical applications and file sizes that reflect you day-to-day work. Now run the script with... say 1 gig, 2 gig, 4 gig and 8 gig swap files.
or/flamebait=on just use a system utility like Activity Monitor on the Mac to compare the number of page ins and page outs.
I have 4 gigs of ram on an intel iMac, and my swap file weighs in at just under 6 megabytes. This is a production machine that uses CS3, and it's been up and running for 5 days, 21 minutes right now. I'm not working with a lot of large files, but I've been working on a 160 mb (lzw compressed) PSD today while everything else is open.
Sounds like you didn't read the presentation. Slide 30 notes the deficit (big fancy word for debt) is one of 20 issues the economists were asked to rank.
Wait, you mean blame it all on the guy who left (be it through death or a cushy new job) isn't standard practice everywhere?
I had to actually threaten legal action against a former employer who repeatedly claimed all the failures after I left were sabotage. Maybe its my fault for not grooming a successor, but there was some truth when I suggested my knowledge deserved higher pay.
IANAL, but since the OP's last name is the same as the domain, its going to be hard to show he is a squatter.
I'd respond explaining exactly what he posted here, and expressly pointing out that he has a vested interested in maintaining the domain for personal use. If they really want the domain, ask them to make a written offer and let them come up with a price.
Of course, if you aren't using the domain for web hosting, then you could offer to redirect http requests to their TLD and retain ownership of the domain.
Gotta agree with parent. You could also profit quite a bit by selling Kingston Security cables on site.
Check with your local government also. 60 people at an event might require some sort of security force be present for the duration of the event. Even if they are just there to break up unruly nerds, the presence alone may be a good deterrent.

That might explain why Grandma thought Ice Age for Wii would be a great Christmas gift last year.

I was implying that you won't find the "say" command in any other distro.
... but cowirkers think I'm a god because I can make a remote Mac talk using the "say" command.

Clarification: Intel Macs can boot from USB. Details can be found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1948
www.dealram.com is where I've found all the ram currently in my Macs.

I'd ask, "Does this dress make me look fat?"
#3 should pick up a copy of Hello Kitty Island Adventure to play with the kids.
Or you could teach them to always do the three finger salute before calling tech support.

I'm going to bet its Mongo.
So, you're saying that Vista isn't really crashing, but that iTunes 8 just simulates a BSOD?
