Evolution can STILL exist in the situation where God created the heavens and the Earth and here's why: God can ALLOW Evolution to occur.
God is, by most people like myself, considered to be all powerful. My most favorite line in all of the Star Trek's was in Star Trek V at the center of the galaxy when confronting the creature trying to pass himself off as god was asked by James Kirk: What does God need with a Starship?? A very valid question. If this creature proclaimed to be God, then what would he need with a Starship? He would not. If God is all powerful, then who's to say that he did not cause Evolution to happen? Alot of creationists don't believe this can happen. What they fail to realize is that God can make this appear to happen. He can do this because he is all-powerful and it's his vision, not ours.
So how does a science movie about the microscopic world zooming out to our Universe showing progression of a fish to a lizard to a rhino or something similar get turned into something Anti-Creation or Anti-Christian? I fail to see the connection. Maybe these creationists would say Satan is filling my mind with images.....I will also say that God doesn't want us to not be able to think. If he did, then we would not be able to form our own opinions. God isn't againt you having a Free Will. He's against evil influencing your free will.
God can cause Evolution to appear to be the answer or just to occur. I can very easily see this happening. God may have intended all long for evolution to happen. It may very well have been the way God intended for this to happen. Only God knows the answer and only God can reveal the answer.
In the end, I propose to those who may refute how do I proove God exists....I ask you, how do you prove he doesn't??
This is so typical of a "networking" department who's focus seems to be them infernal things called Windows PC's. I had some of our networking staff the other day tell me that they traced a worm to one of my Sun boxes. I said check again....they were off.....BY A FLOOR. Same port on the switch, just a different floor. Windows machines are such a focus for their network security that they tend to forget that the design of most UNICES preclude alot of the virus problems. Oh sure, it's possible, but definitely not likely. Actually, I think it's because dem dere UNIX boxes is so damn different but dey still look like a PEECEE so they must be able to get a worm....uh ok...whatever.
Hmmm...TB tests have takenover the years were this, but it wa swhat the test site looked like after X amount of time. Even had a cool 3d card where you could compare the feel of the card with the feel of your site. If it was just a nice normal raised spot or something you were ok or something like that. Been many years so I could be wrong.
Um...even if I could, I wouldn't. I am kind of weird like that in not trusting the distro to do things right. It WOULD be cool, but would NEVER happen. What works for a desktop distro would be completly unappropriate for a server.
In these days where I get a call in the middle of the night to disable x part of the system while they run Y process or when I get called Saturday morning because Z office can't print, if I take a 1/2 hour to check out things on the web on Slashdot or whatever....that makes up for all those 10-15 minute things I get asked to do after hours. If I end up dialing in and working on something for 2-3 hours in the middle of the night or on the weekend, I tell the boss, hey I am taking off early because I did this and he says sure. I am flexible....the company beter be to. If I have to leave early to go to my kids soccer practice or to watch his game but you need me to do X at 2 am....well, you better be cool with me leaving for the soccer game. Having unlimited net access and the ability to install programs not sanctioned or supported by our PC/Network support lets me get my job done or lets me cool my jets before tapping off that nasty e-mail to the idiot who can't unjam his own printer. Talk to the idiots I constantly have to go spoon feed and get them to work better and I may have more time to do real work.
Also, you want me to do remote support, BUY ME A LAPTOP. I spent my hard earned money on my machines, they are NOT to be used for my work. It's not like I am a independent contractor and have to pay for my own stuff. Oh and don't complain if I have images or other non work software on it either. You want me to do the support and take it home, then you better let me do what I want to do with it, within reason of course. You have my promise there will be no kiddie porn on it too. Start getting uppity and my laptop and my cell phone just may not make it with me on my next business trip.
There's no way you, the manager, does work all 8 of those hours either. IN fact, most managers are worse than employees or at least the same. Managers are constantly checking the stocks and the damn NCAA tourney or planning their next "business" trip to Las Vegas...shyeah. Take it easy on the employees, and when you really need them to do that extra 8 hours on Saturday, they just might say sure, I had nothing planned.
I think she's got the right idea for soem things. I would not put all she said on to google, but somethings would be excellent when universal always on access is plentiful and cheap. For example, has anyone here tried Google Maps yet? OUTSTANDING map site. The BEST yet. When you want to find say all Wendy's near your zip code, you can do it. When you want to see all restaurants in your zip, done. You can scroll your map, zoom in and drag it around and it's all happening in the browser and it's fast to boot....well, at least on a high speed link. The only thing it does not have easily is a GPS ability. My only problem trying to use this in a car if it did have GPS is that I do not have a cheap way to get high speed in the car so I can pull the maps down fast enough. Once that part is solved, anyone can have maps+gps on their cellphone very cheaply.
Nah....slashdot is just parroting what Engadget, Mac Rumors and many other websites had. Appleinsider looks to be the first one with the news, but that may not even be right.
Do they have a Bugzilla for this? I was trying to get this going under Windowsand was unable to. I alsonoticed the batch file that comes with this tries to start this with 1 GB of ram. If my machine has 1 GB of ram and I boot Windows and try to get this to run and it asks for 1 GB, I am going to have...issues.:D I have tried 2 separate machines and was unsuccessful to get this to boot in QEMU on windows. DSL works fine. Better then fine. It's worked on almost every PC I tried it on including the same laptop. I would love to give this a try but damned if I can figure out what I need to do to get it running. I'll stick to a modified DSL for my booting Linux in Windows deal. Oh....booting off of the CD did work fine.
I have used DSL (Damn Small Linux) before and been able to use it on some users machine to log in to the server quickly with my SSH keys all setup on the key. When I am done, I kill it. I love this because I can use it on any machine I have and be able to test scripts and such on my machine without risking any of the stuff on the local machine. Will it run slow? Yeah, but if you have a ton of RAM and speedy processor(preferably 1 GHz or faster) it should run just fine.
Ahhh...G....where have we seen this before??

IE7 Details Emerge
·
· Score: 2, Insightful
Apparently we can expect 32 bit PNG support,
Firefox Already Has this...
native IDN support
Yep it has it, but it's turned off by default because of Phishing....do we really want/need this??
new functionality that will simplify printing from inside IE
Um....ok..does it matter? No.
and, of course, tabbed browsing.
Big deal...have had this for what...almost 2 years now??
The new browser also will likely include a built-in news aggregator.
Firefox has it and it looks like Safari will to way before IE 7 sees the light of day.
Apparently an important factor is security
With integrated IDN? Well, I hope it's not on by default. Will it still do Active X? Of course it will and until this part is GONE or TOTALLY REWORKED and REWROTE security isn't going to be a true concern.
I hope they do make IE 7 better....by the time it's out, it wil be even further behind Mozilla Firefox, Opera and Safari.
I agree. Bad acting aside (am I the only one that thinks it's truly hard to spout off the things like:
Mace Windu: You refer to the prophecy of The One, who will bring balance to the Force. You believe it's this boy?
As an actor, I think you may have difficulty saying lines such as these with a straight face. It's not that the script was entirely bad, it's just, not normal....it's not anything like the dialog in other movies they had done.
While I agree that the midichlorian thing should have been left for things likt the RPG you can play with pencil/paper/books and a few friends, the rest of the movie wasn't that bad. I think why we think Ep. IV thru VI were so good is we are looking at it as great memories of our childhood.....after seeing the movies as a 5-10 year old, who didn't want to get a X-Wing toy and action figure? Now it's our kid's turn. My son LOVES watching ANY of the Star Wars movies with me just like I watched them with my parents when I was 6. He's asked for Star Wars toys as have my nephews. I personally think it's great and while I will have to carefully watch my son's reactions when Anakin turns complete to the Dark Side, I can't wait to see it. It will make the first two complete. We had to see how good Anakin was to finally see how Luke was able to get him to make that choice in the end.
Kubuntu (no out yet) Is a fork off of Ubuntu....will use KDE instead of Gnome.
Progeny is based on Debian
Libranet
Knoppix
Linspire...
There's more, but there's the proof that one can take Debian unstable and turn out releases that are as stable as Debian.
One MAJOR reason Debian takes so much time is they absolutly try to work on all the systems and they have the stringent system of what makes it into a release and what doesn't. I have almost never....EVER seen a Debian stable based box go down. I have ever seen problems on one either unless you started to mess with unstable. Debian's DFSG also slows things down a bit. Do I want them to change anything so they have quicker releases? HECK NO. I think there's nothing broke. Debian works on the core and then folks like the Ubuntu crew will take unstable and adjust and fix it to work and work well. Debian unstable is the unstable core for all of the Debian based ones. That's not to say they are unstable,far from it. What Debian allows with it's setup is one to easily take the parts of Debian they want and tweak/adjust it to the distro that they need. Ubuntu is desktop oriented and it shows.
Don't be so sure. I read somewhere that the next gen (4g?? or True 3g??) technology is based on CDMA. That and of all the carriers, Verizon is the first to get faster data speeds wirelessly working with EVDO. EDGE may end up being faster, but the EDGE rollouts seem to be behind teh EVDO rollouts.
Verizon does not do this....unless we go over our minutes and get zapped and we bitch. Then they change the plan....I started out with the 400 minute plan and then the first month my wife got addicted to using her new phone and whups!
Verizon competes by having a better network. It's definitely not their phones. They still do not have the Treo 650. ONly way to get one is to hack a sprint phone.
Not really. Sometimes they do try to counterfeit the device....other times they just bank on it looking so much like the original that they convince people to buy it. Like the Chery QQ and the Chevy Spark mini cars in Asia. The QQ looks so much like the Spark that you can even interchange parts between the two. The QQ is also loads cheaper then the Spark.
I am sorry. The shuffle is definitely not just a clone of this monstrosity. It's ugly, it's biggerm it's control's are not as elegant and unlike the Shuffle, it like will not work with iTunes. Other companies CAN make competitors. The Super Shuffle is not that....it's a complete knockoff. I would not be a bit surprised on this one if someone took it apart that it did not have alot of the exact same parts inside. You won't see Gray Whale parts in a Shuffle.
This kind of ripoff is actually quite common. I see Rbok and Nke shoes all of the time and they are cheaply made direct copies of the originals. In fact, many Chinese factories that make the original will also do the ripoffs using the same equipment, just different grades of electronics, plastices and other items. It even goes as far as cars. I read a article in Time where knock offs cost not just the computer industry, but almost every industry on the planet. Callaway golf clubs, Yamaha Motorcycles, Nikon cameras, etc etc....
I bet this Super Shuffle does not even work with Apple's DRM'd files.
I save the important one which are about 10 percent of them. The rest of it gets deleted with impunity. Anything over 5 years old that i still need I still keep a hold of, but the oldest message in my mailbox is 3 years old. You will find out if you actually go through your box, about 90 percent of them you don't really need.

Who launches a multi-user system with DEFAULTS???
Correct. I would not put a limit on this or if a limit is established, make it very high.
Also, who launches anything with default settings? they don't even do that with Windows where I work.
Is there a e-mail address where we can anonymously send information on suspected violations??
They are afraid of forking? I'd be more afraid that multiple open source projects are trying to write work alikes because we're tired of Sun's BS.
