    If people are STUPID enough to use Beta software in a live environment, they deserve all the crap they get. How can people be so stupid?

    Because it was a structural change, they had to release ti so the app devs could redo their applications.

    i don't know why people still don't get this. Kde released KDE 4.0 as a developer release, teh distros fucked up by releasing it.

    This complaint is so boring

    launch a terminal, su to root, type "init S" - that gives you the least crap

    You probably missed this bit. "Shane Coughlan, a consultant based in Western Japan and a co-founder of OpenRelief says he took his inspiration for the project from that LinuxCon discussion last year."

    plus the chances of any earthquake are quite high in Japan because of their location on a fault, it may be of use to have these planes in reserve.

    nope, but if suggested that i put 2 books in front of you and one has sharp corners and the other had rounded corners, you'd say one or both should be patented?

    "People left England because of religious oppression.."

    No they didn't, they left because they could not force everyone to believe in their religion, thats why they wanted to go to US and set up as you then correctly explained.

    "To me, I supposed God created things....I mean, science hasn't come up yet with an explanation how things started. The big bang...well, what was there before that? So, until they can explain how things really all started, I supposed God is as good of an explanation as any. If God was here in the beginning"

    No No No. its "not as good an explanation as any" its a lazy excuse to say "if we don't understand it then God did it" The majority of those "rationalisations" have been explained i.e. thunder and lightening is NOT god being angry.

    we'd probably be a lot more advanced if religion hadn't got in the way. The Egyptians and and the Arab world were driven to going backwards by religion after demonstrating such advances in Mathematics and engineering way before the western world caught up.
