There will never be proof that God does not exist.
Please let me know when you research on the word "existence" and come up with a strong definition of what "God" is that you speak of. If it's the masculine invisible being in the sky you refer to, then it exists no more than Jupiter or Zeus exists.
Isis, Nut, Ra, Osiris, Zeus, Apollo, Gaia, Poseidon, Cupid, Janus, Terra, Bacchus, Hercules, Luna, Nemesis, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Thor, Odin, Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva, Ganesh, Kali, Krishna, Baal, Satan, Yahweh, Allah, God. I lack blind belief in their existence. But if they appear in a "realistic" state, I will know they exist; belief will not be necessary.
everyone is an atheist, some just choose to not believe in one more god than others.
The truth is that "Free Software" is still on the bottom of the need-to-be-compatible list, as of now. Plus, for some people the fact that it is free makes them hate it (strange, but true).
but I think a company could get open source programmers to work on open source industry-specific apps by *shocked* paying them for it! I sure as hell would take time out of working on my own apps to do contract work for IBM, as long as a check is coming to me in the mail. No money? I'll just continue to put my heart into my own open source applications. Heh, no, I did not RTFA yet.
I find the concept of a voting machine needing virus protection hilarious. Desktop anti-virus protection is the last thing you think a voting machine would need; pretty much explains what a shitty concept these (specific) machines are. I can't wait to use these pieces of shit next election:

(c) GIANT PENIS POPPING PILLS GAIN 2 INCHES SATISFY LOVER
Scratch-n-sniff McCain 2008 stickers. If you are conservative, it will smell like patriotism; If you are liberal or gay, it will smell like a human turd that's been sitting in a bucket of sweat infested with mosquito larva that's been locked in a 1979 Chevette that's been sitting in the Louisiana swamps for 2 weeks.

This is a little story on why I'm not buying anything Bluray anymore; not for a long time at least.
I just bought a decent porno video, bluray edition, and I was all excited. You know, it was going be more realistic with the high definition, and I had to take care of things before the girlfriend gets back home. I started it up, and let the dumb plot intro finish up, and I was immediately disgusted with what I saw when the camera zoomed up a little closer to the face of the woman as she was.. um... doing an oral presentation. Zits. Discusting zits. All over! "This wasn't on the DVD version!" I thought. What the hell? Later in the video I actually noticed more visible stretch-marks, and a scar on this once-attractive 22 year-old female.
Lesson learned: Save those VHS porn tapes men, for you will if not now, then in the future, miss the porno where the truth wasn't as vivid as it is now becoming. *shivers*
The one "mount" WoW is obviously missing, the opposite sex! (or same sex, whichever way you go) Though once you've gotten your elite mount for your level 70 character, vagina (or asshole) will never be enough to satisfy your need for leveling with people you'll never actually meet in real life.
*nawcom has only taken his character to level 58, then quit. Why? there were some events that "orally" distracted me for the moment; and it was more of a wake-up call than anything, that the real world is much much better than WoW.*
I usually disable java in it myself, since I don't commonly use the apps that need jre. Usually when it comes to databases I aim towards the unix types. Anyone know if OOo's spreadsheet app uses java? BTW I love OOov3; it's beta 2 but pretty damn stable.
3:45 - Skycart creator scores with "real" female geek. *nawcom saves for fap material*
3:54 - Camera person seems to have a different preference... uggh. *nawcom loses hard-on*
4:25 - Proof that the camera person has a day shift at some store as security where the owner is racist; The owner "rings the bell" in the back room every time a person of african heritage walks in.
7:48 - Steve Dompier from 1970s must of created a time machine with the Altair 8800 and come to the 21 century.
Okay enough reviewing for now. My only fix I would suggest is to make everything a little more stable on the shopping cart, since everything shakes about. Though it is just a shopping cart.

News update: Qt (Not QT, but Qt) is now completely GPLed (v3). People type in QT like it's a damn acronym or something; makes me ponder why they never get it straight.
A good UI lets you remove the extra wheels and tinker under the hood, though.
I guess I don't understand if you mean that as something OS X has or something OS X is missing. As a Linux and BSD programmer I checked OS X out after Apple started building it for x86s. I find the description "Make the GUI simple to navigate so a 3 year old can handle it and powerful enough so a geek can enjoy it," an exact match for OS X. From the kernel level all the way up to the documentation they provide, Apple is extremely open-source friendly, so I feel they do a ton more than "let you remove the the extra wheels." At the same time, they came up with an interface that is visually friendly, and easy to learn. For example, is it easier to download and run a program, answer 6 questions including where you want to install it, or simply download an app, and drag it into the applications folder (for preference only; you can run it where it is if you want.) Want to tinker with the insides? a.app file is really a folder with all the settings inside - something a regular user will never look into, but someone interested in tinkering with it will like it.
That's just a single aspect when focusing on UI and tinkering, so I sortof disagree, yet respect your opinion on the Mac OS UI.
that includes one that is incorrect. The first one where they assume the 2 chars that are supposed to mean coca-cola actually mean "Watson." that's just a brand name, for a family that has a ton of business in Asia - you would see those characters on the bottled-water they sell.
"Hey Michael Dell, when are you gonna fix all the disabled HPETs in your laptops? Hell, when I checked for syntax errors in the DSDT code I found 26 of them! And it's only set up to work with different Windows models, nothing else!!! This is unacceptable!... Hey.... Hey come back here - don't walk away when I'm talking to you!!!!"
Sadly, this is the truth, and if I could make one wish, it would be that computer makers not make their BIOS code such a damn secret. Dell uses a Phoenix BIOS with an unknown compression set up, and they seem to be extremely secretive about it. (Anyone here of the "delldeco" app? That's gone now, because Dell said so.) I'm also glad that EFI is starting to be used in some motherboard manufacturers.
In fact copyrights are used to determine "who is not given rights" over the certain material, and that is decided by the exclusive owner. While p2p doesn't "intellectually" copy something, it does physically copy it. This comes down to stuff the RIAA argued over; whether loading an mp3 into memory is essentially copyright infringement.
So I assume what you meant is that they implicitly loosened the limitations of their copyright - when you purchase something you don't get any license; you simply lack limitations set on you by the copyright owners when it comes to physical ownership, hence not "infringing" it.
This is all based on me reading up a little of copyright law, so if i misunderstood a part of it please correct me.
I guess for cross-compatible reasons, why not pick one (java) over the other? Why not use IIS if you need to use WCF? Respectfully, I'm just curious on the reason why you are in need to connect the two.
but Apple uses.. um Apache as the http server. Not "Apple (tm) iWeb Server." They don't modify the code at all, and they use a nice frontend for setting it up. The source code is free. MS using Apache would probably end up being IIS8, which is really just a closed source modified copy of Apache with a nice mmc frontend. You won't even see a difference. I am making assumptions here on what MS would do with it, but if they actually start installing "Apache HTTP Server" on Windows server (iow compilable from source) then I will take this in from a different viewpoint.

Why did it take so damn long to get rid of the fucking hicks... good riddance..
What, you want a Visual Basic for X11?
What is needed is a COMPELLING, modern, cross-platform, open-source, GUI, business application development environment.

If they try "format c:" then they'll stay running linux for a long time
Why? You realize that to install windows, you have to "format c:", right?
Heheh.
Noting that your username is Actually, I do RTFA, please take my suggestion - don't anymore.

sounds to me like they implicitly gave everyone a copyright license to download it.
What the hell?
You need to learn what a copyright is. Just because something is free doesn't mean no one has rights over it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright
In fact copyrights are used to determine "who is not given rights" over the certain material, and that is decided by the exclusive owner.
