Please point out a theory in religion. I gave my examples - in evolution and gravity - they simply explain the natural phenomena of evolutionary mutation and gravity. you give yours. The first challenge, that I'm interested in is finding the natural phenomena.
The same? I think not. Let me know when you come up with proof that one religion overpowers the rest in factual evidence that supports it. Again, you don't know what the hell a scientific theory is at all.
No, I'm no science student. I simply follow specific definitions, and I remain a skeptic to everything. I don't believe or have faith in evolution. I simply accept evidence. It may morph in the future as more evidence comes in, but it will never make it "wrong" - for according to the concept of a scientific theory - hypotheses are supposed to evolve. The same with quantum mechanics - I am no believer in it, so I simply follow what has been proven in the physical world. Can a man walk on water? I sure would like to see it. Is there an immortal being for who I am a servant to? I sure as hell would like to see this person in the physical world, then existence of immortal creators will be an obvious fact.
Not to get too off-topic, but I find the Bible, Torah, and Koran the best collection of moral tales (moral as in the morality 2000 years ago) that have ever been discovered. The immoral concepts you learn from them show that YHWH, God, and Alah did not create man in their own image, but in fact man created YHWH, God, and Alah in their own image.
Personally, I would pick a woman goddess to worship. They seem to know how to take care of things pretty damn well.
I just want to add that creditable scientific theories exist due to their supporting factual evidence. This is why evolution itself is considered well supported in the same way theoretical gravity is supported by factual evidence.
Note that this is for evolution by itself, specifically human evolution has many pieces to the puzzle (pieces meaning factual evidence), but are missing a few currently. And you know what? theories "evolve" at the same time that new evidence is brought up. So for the top parent, go back to your damn bible and read up. Leave science alone. You believe, after all, that you were created from dirt, correct? It is extremely obvious that your skull is filled with it. Now there's an example of a theory supported by evidence (you ignorance).
In all honesty, I personally think this will be on the bottom of the list of questions. Unless I am wrong at looking at the majority US citizens not giving a fuck. I sure give a fuck. You know what I'm doing? Moving to Canada. I actually have paid the lease for a place 30 minutes from where I am in Michigan to move to in the next week or so. I gave up on Americans a while ago. You ask them for a solution and they give you religious faith.
Note that I know that everyone is not like this. It's just surprising how many different people, conservative, liberal, whatever - it doesn't matter - they simply would care less. "It's not my business so I'm not worried about the FBI." I respect your opinion, but you have yet to understand that that "business" is no longer your own anymore.
Note that I said nothing about creating and distributing a no-cd crack, I simply referred to applying one. The legality of this has many variables to question, especially if you personally fix the binary yourself (not downloading someone else's "fix"). Also the issue with what makes a crack illegal, if the application you use modifies a binary versus itself being a modified binary of the original copyright owner's work. (referring to your comment: The no-cd crack is a modified exe, which is a derivative work under copyright.)
I can't wait for the time when applying no-cd fixes will mean jail time. No, I haven't RTFA, but with the title including "RIAA Exec" and the game industry, I can only think of the worst.
Have Mozilla send come checks to all major software companies (Adobe wink wink) - perhaps Google can through in a few $100 million in the pot too to distribute. Goal: install Firefox (if not installed yet) and make Firefox the default browser. A little taste of Microsoft's own medicine.
And with the reference to terrorism, that is too much. Why? Because these types of phobias and insecurities and hate are actually quite common, and it can be looked on as a special trait of humans. Along with the great complexity of the human brain comes the possibility of a logic-simplistic skill of hate, because the people around you are different. From the single celled amoeba to the intelligent complexities such as dolphins, monkeys, and pigs, none have the flaw that humans continue to socially carry to their young, the flaw against their own. Sad really.
Language can be a challenge to some people. I heard this the other day from my girlfriend who lives with a girl who takes care of children born with autism. It is considered offensive to be called an "autistic child" versus a "child suffering from autism." Yeah, it can be looked as being a little too sensitive, though if you look real hard, there is a difference between describing who (or what) a person is (he or she is autistic) and what a person (as in the same as everyone else) is suffering from.
Myself, when it comes to skin color, usually refer to one as a person with x skin color, since that is the only difference, for example i'm just a human being with white-colored skin. Just my own preference. Unfortunately there are still many people who define a "black person" or "a black" as a lazy no-good big-boned ape. Which is sad.
I just did a quick read-through, was the issue with skin color taking place in Canada? I'm a little curious on the status of skin color segregation in other countries of the world, other than Canada and the US.
Please understand what self-recognition in a mirror is. It has been known for a long time that dogs recognize their own scent, but with their black-and-white eyesight they have never shown any signs of recognizing themselves in a mirror, at least not in any social sense.
I have one more : my dog recognizes itself in the mirror.
News update: Dogs aren't asexual. Either that or you consider your pets visible non-living objects. I'll be sure the Humane Society will pay you a visit.
But this probably isn't that complicated. For year and years in strange situations or another, when files were placed on a fat32 partition in windows in certain conditions, users in Linux couldn't freely access the file unless the partition was mounted with "-o umask=000". In fact I just bought a shitty thumb drive, stuck it in my laptop running Slack and the hotplugging daemon (yes... slackware has that oooOOOOOoh) picked it up and mounted it. I opened it up and saw they had this E3 something or another windows app on it, so I tried to delete it. Nope, permission issues. So I manually unmounted and mounted with umask=000, and i could delete it fine.
I did RTFA, and I must say this is the dumbest post ever. If any fs coders can figure out what issue this person was having, I'm curious, for it doesn't sound like anything new at all.
Some people haven't accepted the fact that adults play games. Remember those cute little cartoony games that your little kid played on the NES? Well, he/she's 20 now, and an adult. He or she still likes to play games. Developers see this fact, and design games with a realistic and mature environment. Don't like it? Get over it. You don't get everything your own way in life; hopefully your grown-up children have learned differently.
There is no connection between atheism and militancy. Those who conflate the two (like the interviewer) are engaged in little more than hate speech.
Haven't you done a little research? When you lack belief in a god or goddess, you are naturally militant. I guess.
It's always made me laugh that some people find others who either currently lack religion or were introduced to the concept of immortal gods at an age when they can separate fantasy, ideas, and reality - stupid. and militant. and blind. They "lack morals".
If by militant the person was referring to its activist definition, the same way Martin Luther King Jr was militant in equal rights regardless of skin color, then I can understand its reference. If it refers to the aggression definition, such as a ruthless dictatorship, then he or she is way off base to say that.
Perhaps I when I when I first heard the word "dongle", I instantly thought of "dangle", but either way, it's a great word to apply a little sexual innuendo to. Some previous posts, just to prove my point:
Backwards compatible
My girlfriend knows my dongle can handle her 12 Mbps input, though at times I have no choice but to shoot my packets too early. Backwards compatible my ass.
Would have been that hard to add a ridge on one side or something,
Ribbed reference.
Cheaper for manufactures because the mounts are the same
All mounts are the same? I only wish. If you've ever been in a situation where it is so... erm.. loose that it "feels" like you can stick 2 mini-A plugs into the mount, then you know what I mean.
The same way Arthur Clarke's idea of future technology created a path towards the future's technology, I hope Futurama does the same service to society. Suicide booths, here I come!
There's something erotic about one-eyed, double-D breasted mutant... the fact that she has 6 labia.
i'd pay for games if they were native to Linux operating systems.
I also agree, though the main issue here is when it comes to selecting between directx and opengl. Some devs design it so it is easy to run with wine wrappers (think spore). I am a little surprised that they didn't make a linux native version of spore, since they can easily use wine (or at least transgaming's optimized and modified build of it) to run it (from what i understand, the main issue with good ol' open source wine is depth perception + winsocks trouble).
An amazing example of directx games running in wine are any Valve games that run off the Source engine. I'm curious if this was a surprise or an expectation from the devs. If anyone knows about that let me know.
according to the end-employee license agreement (eela) they signed, they only get paid for apple-labeled work hours. any other work hours aren't apple work hours, so they shouldn't expect any support from accounting when it comes to overtime.
(yeah i know - horrible mac clone reference; its a little after 1 am here, i'll have my geek humor rested and ready tomorrow;) )
It is 6000 years old. It was created in exactly 6 days, by an invisible sky wizard that looks kinda like Sean Connery in a white beard and robe.
Don't forget that giant invisible Sean Connery needed to take a break after 6 days of work. I would be tired if I created all that in a week's time too. But then again, I'm only human, which makes sense that only humans could of created such a story. *winks*
