Agreed. Wizardry was the first person dungeon game. Bard's Tale followed with music but the Amiga, Atari ST, and Appke//gs versions had better graphics and music. They should bring those back.
Uh yeah. Taxing everyone to pay for healthcare is communism. Against Fundamentalist Christian beliefs. Republicans can never go for that. Communism is based on atheism no belief in God. Democrats want to tax the rich for it but never do and lie about it, that goes against their religion as that is Satanism.
You miss the point. Human beings are capable of good and evil. For all have sinned.
The Bible was written to teach. Sure it has some bad stuff happening in it to teach why we shouldn't do that bad stuff.
Some Christianity follows just the New Testament and rejects the old one. Others embrace the Old with the New. There are many translations of the Bible and often the Fundie King James version is used, and it differs from other versions.
Christianity did more good things in those first 19 centuries as well. Ended slavery, came up with the scientific method, laid the philosophies of science in monasteries before universities existed, brought the renaissance, defeated Hitler, lead to advances like the Moon landing lead by JFK, lead to the microchip, and freedom and rights were granted when none existed in the systems before those 19 centuries.
Removing religion from science lead to a loss of innovation, retardation of our space program, a bastardization of the scientific method, fraud, waste, politics, using science to harm and destroy others, loss of jobs, a bad economy, lack of ethics and morals, greed, abuses of testing for safety as genetic engineering of foods leads to more food allergies and disease and obesity in our population than we had before, side-effects in prescription drugs that can harm us more or kill us, corruption in science to doctor lab tests so that 1/3 of prisoners in jail are innocent, persecution of religious people by abusing science and citing the minority of religious people to prejudge the rest even in public forums and books, and of course war, famine, disease, deaths in third world nations as science takes priority over helping out the less fortunate and those nations are used for slave labor for science, engineering, technology jobs.
Don't lay that stuff on me, science is corrupt as well.
Oracle cannot be trusted because they sued Google? What makes Google more trustworthy? Will they give you the source code to Gmail?
Java was like Netscape once, a free product and they made money by donations or selling the development or server tools. But Microsoft made Visual J++ and others had bastardized Java and it lost compatability. So Sun sued them over it and then changed how Java was licensed before Oracle bought them out.
So basically since Java is so popular and due to lawsuits and changes in licenses Oracle is not to be trusted? Java can be downloaded for free still.
Pentium 4 systems have power saving too. Windows XP has power saving features as well. For people not playing 3D video games and only doing word processing and web surfing a Windows XP P4 system is good enough.
Sure XP does not run the latest Internet Explorer or Media Player but Firefox, Chrome, Safari, QuickTime work great.
Patents can create monopolies as well. If shared tech did not exist, Microsoft would not have written DOS for IBM and Apple would not exist as the MOS 6502 was based on the Motorola 6500 series.
The MOS 6501 was pin compatible with the Motorola 6500 but the 6502 had to change some pins. My point is that shared tech leads to lower prices and innovation. Not just the OS but hardware as well. This is what the FOSS movement is all about.
The gene that causes the dog to glow under ultraviolet light when a certain food is given to it, can have the gene replaced with one dogs and humans share. This can help test gene therapy to help cure these genetic disorders.
It takes faith to form a doubt. One has to believe that the belief may not be true to form a doubt about it. This is how skepticism forms, not of a lack of belief but a belief of doubt in some other belief. One can believe in God and evolution or choose to believe that belief in one or both is false.
Believing that God does not exist or doubting that God exits are still beliefs and can be considered religious as some religions do not believe in a God.
Believing that evolution is real or doubting that evolution is real are also beliefs. Religion is defined by the Latin words re (again) and lig (connect) so one connects to something again and again be it God or the universe or science, whatever. Having a belief in anything can form a religion because one reconnects to that belief over and over again. Doubt is just another belief that some other belief is false like Jesus is God, Zeus is God, Odin is God, or God does not exist and all can doubt each other.
It depends, more atheists per population are on the Internet than in real life for some reason. So while in real life you have 10% on certain web sites you might actually have more. Plus web sites are not tied to any local state or nation so you got a population that spans nations. Many theists cannot afford Internet or stick to religious sites.
I suppose this is evolution again huh? About 10% of the population are fundamentalist christians yet all theists tend to get lumped in with the 'creationist' mindset even if we believe evolution is real. The fundie minority controls politicians to remove evolution from schools and ban gay marriage and stuff like that. But hey when burning fundies try not to burn nonfundies, eh?:)
Fork this, Firefox 3.x was great before the Google Chrome and iOS Safari imitations. So someone Fork the classic Firefox 3 we all know and love before this web OS crap takes over.
Network computers, JavaOS, MIPS and OS/2 didn't work out either did they? Just make the best web browser you can and have a cache mod system to load and unload modules and plugins when needed to save on memory. Why follow ChromeOS now? Focus on what you do best, the web browser is the OS and does not need to be turned into an independent OS just run on top of someone else's OS and process HTML 5 and under code.
Based on history, one person's evil is another person's good. All people think they are good and hardly anyone thinks they are evil. The same goes for Internet companies and ToS policies that take away civil rights and privacy etc.
Even Internet web sites with no ToS run by a tinpot dictator or majority democracy can be evil and think they are good. It is just a matter of scale.
So if Microsoft did the same as Google. Makes a social network that when the heard ToS are violated, locks the account for everything at Microsoft and cell phone would it be just as evil or more evil? I think we need an Evil-o-meter here or something to measure the evil.
If a company is not evil or thought of as evil and does evil is it still good or incompetent at doing good?
Uh maybe stop for some gas as a 100 year trip kinda gets long. Brown dwarf stars are basically gas stations on the way to other stars, yes. A parsec is about three years in light speed but slower speeds take longer. Stop every three to five years at BD gas stations and pick up gas, food, and supplies.
In order to have elements beyond carbon one needs a bigger star than our yellow sun. Large stars tend to supernova and become brown dwarfs or black holes in some cases. Some stars fail and become brown dwarfs as well. But you can still get hydrogen from them from solar winds for spacecraft.
It is hard to detect them because the brown dwarfs are Earth size and do not give off much heat or light. Our sun Sol is supposed to have a companion star nearby called Nemesis that is a brown dwarf and throws asteroids at our solar system.
Get infected with a software virus or download pirated files. In Soviet Russia AnonPlus invites you. All you have to lose is your identity. Identity theft and social engineering goes hand in hand with AnonPlus social nethacking.
Anonymous stays anonymous to avoid getting caught. They use nicknames or handles and not real names. A social network would defeat their purpose unless it is a fake one to capture IP addresses and passwords to hack more sites. It makes as much common sense as fighting cockroaches with Viagra. Most likely this Anonplus was created for the lulz and will fold faster than Google Wave did!:)
What next telnet BBSes and ASCII Art? No SSH pure telnet unencrypted Systems?:)
BusHitler is out of office and the Dems control congress. I though we voted for change and hope? How is this change and hope?
(two FBI agents in an pizza van talk to each other. "he is on to us better scam!" and disconnect from my wifi, cell phone, analog phone, and cable TV devices.)
Yes and people who don't know how computers work tend to use them anyway. If not then the virus writers, scammers, adware spyware writers will go out of business.
Also Apple would be out of business and there would be no Groupon or Facebook. We'd still have BBS tech and text based services. Unix would rule and MS Windows would not.
Fact is people work for companies even if they don't know how they work. That Dilbert PHB syndrome for example.:)
From what I read she was a follower of him on twitter. Wiener made a joke about 10:45 in Seattle a week earlier and somehow she was from Seattle. He said on CNN that it was a coincidence but if he was hacked, they'd target her because of the Seattle remark. Then he'd be responsible for her info leaked out all over the press.
Not sure if she got the picture or knew him, but it seems that after she said she did not even get the picture that her info is all over the news now as they investigate her. I would think her privacy is invaded as even victims of sexual harassment are allowed to keep their privacy and anonymity, but even if she was sexually harassed or not, she already lost that in violation of the sexual harassment laws.

This entity created by Apple, Microsoft etc sounds like a patent troll to me. I am a libertarian myself.

So if 10% don't believe in gravity or that the world is round and not flat then they will never believe it?
