There are other, larger impact craters on earth, so the Mexican crater idea was improbable all along. The earth's atmosphere is produced by outgassing of the planet through volcanoes and vents, so this is obviously a major reason for atmospheric change.
Well, not Jesus, but in the book of Daniel, you can read about a dragon called Bel in Babylon: 1:23 Now there was a large dragon, and the Babylonians used to revere it. 1:24 The king said to Daniel, "Surely you can't claim that this is not a living god. So worship it!" But Daniel replied, "I will worship the Lord my God alone, for he is the living God. 1:26 But, O king, if you will grant me authority I will put the dragon to death using neither sword nor staff." The king replied, "I grant you authority."
Most of the dragon stories (and most stories about other gods) were excised from the Bible by King James, but this one slipped through.
That device charges so fast, that I'm not sure that it is a chemical battery. I suspect that it is a super capacitor, which stores energy as an electrical charge.
For the audio purists out there, I have special low skin effect ultra wide-band kettle cords for your amplifiers and turn tables. These cards are guaranteed to enhance the audio experience. Only $5000 each.
"Merely because Linux is a "free" solution does not mean that fewer resources need to be spent to set up and administer the infrastructure." Actually, due to the atrocious scalability of Microsoft server solutions, you do use fewer resources with Linux solutions - significantly so. In a school with 2000 users, you'd likely be able to use half the number of servers if you were running Linux. That is a large reduction in administrative problems and much reduced hardware costs.
Also, the Linux file systems are more efficient and you'd likely use 20% less disk space too. Finally, since Linux can run software RAID, the hardware costs will be even less, since you don't need to to purchase RAID controllers.
The benefit of running Linux in schools go far beyond the immediately obvious zero licensing fees.
One overlooked problem is the lack of scalability of MS server solutions. MS Exchange bogs down once a database reaches 100GB and most admins recommend that you don't exceed 30GB per database. In contrast, any half decent Unix mail system is only limited by the capacity of the file system, which can be many terrabytes before any database issues are encountered. BerkeleyDB can scale up to 256TB - good luck doing that with Exchange.
A MS server system for a few thousand users require a lot more equipment and server licenses, typically 4 to 5 times more, than a similar Linux system would require and when you have 50,000 to 100,000 users, you'd need ten times more equipment.
This then affects the size of the server room, the amount of air conditioning and the number of staff, in addition to the excessive number of Microsoft server licenses.
Uhmmm, some things are just too old and crappy to bother with. Sometimes, I wish I had one of those huge trebuchets to toss old PCs away into the deep dark distance...
MS wants you to use RDP for remote management. To do that, each server has to have the full GUI installed and running at all times.
In the Unix world, the server doesn't need to run X. So you can have a zoo of head-less servers and administer them from a desktop with all the GUI tools, since the desktop has the X server and you can use X forwarding over SSH to control the headless machine from anywhere in the world.
So, on Win2008, if you don't install the GUI, then you can *never* use any GUI tools, which is a distinct disadvantage compared to Unix systems.

"Amway salesraptor" Wow, that is scary. Almost as scary as a pair of bible punching Jehova's Witness raptors.

Actually, there are simple Microsoft software management utilities that can tell you exactly what is running where.

I studied UNIX post grad in 1987. I only started using it in 1996 - nine years later. So I totally agree with your assertion.
Sure.... the problem being that with the smorgasboard license, you have to pay that considerable amount of money *every* year.

Two? I don't even want one. Not even for free.
Oh well, I guess I am not the average Apple fan...
I guess 831 is two blocks over on the opposite side of the road from the beast at 666. That is the only way it would make sense to me...

Well, clearly you are one of the guys working the magic - thanks!
Well, these people are doing the work for free and you are swearing at them?
I'm afraid that whatever it is that you want, will likely remain at the bottom of the to-do list.

Well, remote Desktop wasn't invented by MS either. They bought a crippled version from Citrix.
If everybody were atheist, then nobody will think about gods and the whole god question will disappear in a puff of nothingness.
My proof that your god doesn't exist is your lack of proof that he does.
Anyway, my invisible red dragon in my basement is more powerful than your god.
I thought that 70% of Americans are religious. All religious people believe in ghosts. It would be great if only 30% of Americans were so gullible.
