    He descended to the dead.
    On the third day He rose again.
    He ascended into heaven
    and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
    He will come again to judge the living and the dead.
    I believe in the Holy Spirit,
    the Holy Catholic Church,
    the communion of Saints,
    the forgiveness of sins,
    the resurrection of the body,
    and the life everlasting. AMEN.

    Not sure why you couldn't use the english version.

    Also, your soul returning to it's own body is no more reincarnation than someone being resuscitated after dying.

  2. Re:Problems with Chrom in the x64 version on In-Depth With the Windows 7 Public Beta · · Score: 1

    The virtualbox additions do not work well yet.

    I had to mask the programs as Windows Vista to even install and when I tried to reboot, I am stuck with a screen telling me that windows is starting (until it times out and shuts down.)

    I am not saying that is window 7's fault since the drivers are not made for it. This is more a heads up to anyone trying.

    Of course, others have had better luck

    I am sure this went over my head but why are you blocking University students in Ukraine?

    Do they share the same IP due to running out of addresses or is there something else?

    This is more like, to get the murderer off you kill someone else in a copycat fashion so that your client - who is in jail - is release based on the false new evidence.

    Finding methods within the law to have the murderer released is one thing. Breaking the law to "best represent your client's interests" is another.

  11. Re:I like KDE 4 on Open Source Victories of 2008 · · Score: 3, Informative

    SSL, ArK, and Samba though dolphin are working great in the 4.2 pre-release.

    Actually, expect for ArK, the other two have been working since 4.1.

    The configuration thing you mentioned I have never seen before and I don't use bluetooth so I don't know if you are right on that or not. (But based on your other comments, I doubt much of what you say in regards to KDE 4.)

    And as far as checking the bugzilla as some kind of indication against KDE 4, the vast majority bugs are not for KDE 4.

    Another country does something that is wrong so you have to find some way to bring US wrongs into this.
