Yet another pointless and contentious thread.

Post subject:	Yet another pointless and contentious thread.
Because pointless and contentious threads get the most posts, I've decided to try and set a new record. Thusly the topic is one of (whichever you choose) What's the best gaming console ever? Linux Distro Deathmatch Why Counter-Strike Sucks First Person Shooters Are Gay! Why turing is the best language ever! Why turing is the worst language ever! Turing isn't just a bad language... it'll cause kids to go out and club baby seals! Myspace sucks! LOL is not a word, and nor is rofl. Though the ROFLCopter rocks! Windows is stable as a brick. Windows bricked my computer. I threw a brick at my screen 'cause I got drunk and hi and my name is bob.

Seriously, the added effort to type correctly is infinitesimally small so please write like someone who didn't fail grade 1 english.

psha! I regularly use the nick "God" on irc and not once has anything bad happened! Besides; I don't believe god exists (at least not in the being able to change things in the universe at will type way). On windows I do not know how to restore your path, linux restores the path as per /etc/env.d (on gentoo) on a reboot, perhaps windows has some way of doing the same? I doubt it... but it could happen...

Why would you believe that there is a "God" who can control everything in the universe and who is aware of everything that happens? On what would you base such a belief? There is no proof that such a being exists, or is required to exist for the universe to exist as it does.

there is a specific book (i will edit this post when i figure it out) that comes up with a really neat explination of the whole god and satan thing. In the book, one alien came to earth and talked to "jesus" in the desert trying to help him, but he refused help and "jesus" called the aliens "satan" (because thats what the aliens looked like). 2000 years later, they come back but never reveal themselves but remain on the planet for 50 years trying to rid the world of the prejiduce. when they do reveal themselves, they looked like satan. I believe this theory is not fiction

You cant label someone who thinks differently than you as "delusional", you need to be more accepting. This is something I find interesting. In our culture, religious beliefs are accorded a sort of automatic respect, and I don't understand (completely) why this is. For example: If I were to go around saying that the sky is red, people would disbelieve me. In fact, most people would challenge me on my belief, and even go so far as to call me delusional. And it would be true. However, if instead of saying the sky is red, I said that I believed in God, or in a more illustrative sense said that I believed that the sky was red because it was my religion, I would be accorded automatic respect by many people - it's a fact, and if you pay careful attention, you'll see this kind of baseless respect of baseless beliefs being accorded all around you. The fact of the matter is, baseless religious beliefs are delusional. The fact that they are "important" doesn't matter - the Earth's flatness was once important, and it didn't stop it from being wrong. The fact that many religions are "traditions" is equally irrelevant - just because a bad/wrong idea has lasted a long time does not mean it's any less bad or wrong. Labelling those who think differently than you delusional can be very correct in certain circumstances (like baseless, unproved beliefes about the world). It is a negative way to get the point across, but it's often quite correct.

Post subject:	Re: Yet another pointless and contentious thread.
Well I dont know much about christianity, but religions such as hinduism,buddism and jainism aren't baseless. These religions were created by ancient sholars, a lot of thought went in to them. There are reoccuring themes within these religions such as the idea of attachment being bad, as it leads to greed and greed leads to suffering of others. There have been many stories within the indian scriptures that supports this thiinking. They belive that everything has a right to life, no one has the right kill anyone (including animals, and gandhi strongly supported hinduism thats why he was passive and a vegetarian). These religions dont have a creation stories, but hinduism does belive in gods. These gods dont have the power to create planets and life, they just have supernatural powers . Their only significance is to express all the themes and morals. These religions believe in reincarnation and karma, which may seem like a hoax now, but back then it made sence to them, as they believe that depending on your karma from your previous life(how good of a person you were) you may be reincarnated into something good or something bad. They saw that some people lived in extreme poverty, while others lived wealthy, so they concluded that everyone wasnt born equally, and some force must be controlling your living condition in life. This idea of an after life brought civil order, and because of this idea of karma, the rich were more corteous towrds the poor. darn it I have to go, we'll continue this later.

Post subject:	Re: Yet another pointless and contentious thread.
Before anyone else says that Christianity is about diversity or accepting others (loving thy neighbor etc.) I wish to point to the Bush administration in the states and the "Christian Right" which supports it. Those are modern day Christians, at least in north America, and no matter how much you try and claim that they don't represent every Christian the sad truth is that they represent a significant majority. Now, addressing what you have said spearmonkey2000, spearmonkey2000 wrote: There are reoccuring themes within these religions such as the idea of attachment being bad, as it leads to greed and greed leads to suffering of others. There have been many stories within the indian scriptures that supports this thiinking. Attachment is not bad in and of itself. If no one got attached to people then there would be no families and humanity would die out rather quickly. I'm not even sure there is any harm in attachment at all unless taken to extremes and people who do that generally do it out of illness. Greed is also a bit hard to value; greedy parents are better able to support their kids thus ensuring survival of the species. However too much greed is bad for society as a whole. Again, it's not that greed is bad but that taking it to an extreme is bad. spearmonkey2000 wrote: They belive that everything has a right to life, no one has the right kill anyone (including animals, and gandhi strongly supported hinduism thats why he was passive and a vegetarian).

I don't care how much power they are believed to have, they don't exist. There is no rational reason for thinking they exist. Believing in anything that has absolutely zero scientific proof, something which cannot even be proven because "faith" says it to be true and science can't disprove faith; now if that's not delusional then I don't know what is. spearmonkey2000 wrote: Their only significance is to express all the themes and morals.

This idea of an after life brought civil order, and because of this idea of karma, the rich were more corteous towrds the poor. darn it I have to go, we'll continue this later. Morals do not require religion. Religion actually hinders morality as usually morality is achieved through fear. "Don't do X, or you'll go to hell" is a very poor motivator for people doing anything. If your going to try and instill morals in someone it's much better to teach them from a young age that your morals are correct because they are the universally accepted rules of society. Religion can be wrong, society as a whole can be equally be wrong; but it's in charge and mob rules always end up mattering most. Oh, and I think you have seriously misread everything having to do with rich/poor. I suggest reading up on the caste system. Karma on the other hand is a real thing. If you go around treating people poorly they will resent you and treat you poorly. Treat people well and they tend to treat you well. Nothing mystical in that, just plain old psychology. As for religion in general, just because many people over many centuries thought long and hard over something does not make it true. I think about it all the time; but in the last 15 years no matter how much I believe it to be true I still don't own a large yacht, nor am I rich. Thinking does not make truth.

apparently more then 90mA; which seems to be all my thinkpad will source to USB ports. This is the only thing I can think of too... I mean I know hte drive works and I know the thinkpad works, so it's gotta be a power issue.

See while the enclosure has a port for a power adapter I do not know what voltage/amerage it needs to be nor do I have one. Given that this is a laptop drive however it has very minimal power requirements. USB will do it if the USB ports provide the required power as per the USB spec.

As I recall, all devices plugged into a USB port first receive 90 mA from the host. The device can request up to 500 mA if the host supports it. Perhaps your laptop just doesn't like doing that?

Author:	md [ Tue Mar 06, 2007 3:04 pm ]
Post subject:	RE:Yet another pointless and contentious thread.
IIRC it's 100mA at first; but in any case yes it seems that either the laptop is not listening to the requests for more power; or just isn't providing enough even when trying. It's strange; given that the drive spins up and everything... Given that I now have a laptop with plenty of storage however it's not really a big deal at all.

If it's singular possessive ending with an s, you can add an ('s) or just (').
eg. boss's OR boss'

Cervantes's or Cervantes'

If it's plural possessive ending with an s, I believe you don't have an option, you must only add (').
eg. bosses'

dogs'

I, like Freakman, never add an s in either case, but I'm pretty sure it's optional. There are some sources, however, that argue one way or the other for singular nouns.

So, Cervantes' or Cervantes's.

I know not of this Daily Dilbert. But if you're using gmail I think you can get an RSS thing up in there. If not, and you happen to not be lazy I suppose you could write a program to periodically check the feed and then send you an email when a new comic is up. RSS and Google Reader is all that stops me from loading up a folder full of webcomics in tabs every half hour out of habit.

i am actually in the process of making my own web comic, I have the Artitic and Comedic flare needed and an orginal idea ...., but unfortunatley i do not have the funding, Nor the Resources to make a webpage. its a shame that "Merc -N- Merc" will have to wait see the web, But for nor ill continue to draw them and use Photoshop to make them Pretty, and then print them and sell them to the local comic book store where about 10 kids actually buy the dame thing..... and i am sorry for being so random before, But thats what i thought this thread was for.

The plan for V4 is totaly remaking the system from sratch and not based on any existing fourm software. We whould likey do this in RoR and make it all AJAXy and web 2.0ish. As for ads they are displayed based on if you are singed in or not and how you got to the site. If you are refered here directly from google there will be a big banner at the top of the site. If you are no logged in there will be one sponsered fourm post with an ad per page. There is allways an add at the bottom of the viewtopic pages. We are condering other ways to place ads, we whont to show ads to users that are most likey to click on them and hidden them from users that will not.

I am not shure if you are just trying to be funny or not but i think that is an exteramly bad idea for a number of reasons. 1. Figureheads don't govern, thats why they are figuerheads, i am assuming you mean some kind of asin uion like the eurpoean union. 2. The asain countrys are not in an inevitable economic depression, if anything they are going to go in to a boom cycle with countrys like chian turing more and more to a caplistic type system and the U.S. encomeny going down creating more room for them to move in. (Weather chain being more caplistic is good or not for things other then ecomnic reason is for another debate). 3. Assumning that such a depression was coming to the asiain countrys, a collective goverment whould not change anything at all for the postive, just having a bigger goverment (area wise) does not some how automaticly fix things. 4. Most asain countrys are doing trading with eurpe and north armarica, having free trade between asain countrys is not going to help much at all as there is litte imports or exports between them, also many of thess countrys are very agisted open borads so any befite that this could have is mostly negated. 5. World goverment is not a good idea (have you ever read 1984?), this whould be 2/3 of the way to having 3 magor governing bodys controling the world (european union, asain union and amaerian union) whoes goals whould be emonical and not social. This also desotrys all of the indepence of countrys and there clutercher making the hole world in to one big mealting pot of conformity. 6. If anything is going to be having a masive effect on fossil fuels it whould be iraq and not afghanistan as iraq has one of the bigest oil suplies in the world, all of witch realy is under US control. However the benfite this is giving the USA is deminsing every day as many other big oil producing contrys are coverting to the euro and the USA is burning billions just keeping the oil feilds in iraq. In fact one of the reasons why the US whent in to iraq was probly becues husain was going to covert to selling oil in the euros witch whould have totaly desotryed the US encomney (and ironcly going in to iraq has acomplisted this any way). So how does creating a wider area econmoic governing body help an area where the trade and imports is mostly to and from outside of that area?

So, my current SATA controller died and in the process it trashed both my RAID5s taking out aproximately 900GB of data. I have al of the msot important bits backed up, at least until november... but some on the laptop as well. It seems that everything else survived just fine too thankfully. On the other hand, I am down 900GB. That's all of futurama and family guy and south park and Stargate and Stargate: Atlantis and House and Jericho and Invader Zim and about 15 other TV series. And aproximately 300 movies. And 14K songs. And uncounted ISOs for misc. software, like every version of windows (legic ISOs too) and OS X (not quite as legit) and many many games. Three years worth of data, carefully labeled and sorted. Gone. Damn I wish I had more beer.

Really, it's not a huge issue as I can get most of the things I've lost again if I really want them. It ends up being a huge hassle (and it'll take a long time to download it all no matter what...). Oh, and it was actually closer to 1TB, a few GB short it seems. I have all my own pictures and documents and stuff backed up (last one was in november) and most of the things that are new since that backup were duplicated on my laptop. So I'll mostly be fine. Bad news: Lost stuff, had to spend money on a new controller, there may be more damage done to hte computer that I do not know about, temporary drop to ~150GB of total storage space. Good news: I can finally fix the damned RAID arrays so they are made of like sized drives. Very good for making them easy to manage and replace bad drives. I also get to forget about going through movies and music and deleting all the useless crap that has accumulated over the years.

As far as i can tell most web servers and porbly the magority of servers in general (other then game ones) run a nix based OS (unfronly i could not find any unbasied studys with some simple google searchs, so i could be wrong). Also linux is free and open score, that alone is enought reason for it to be imporenent. There is also the increased use of nix based OSs as desktops, proof of this is in dell shiping some laptops with linux perintalled and apple computer witch uses a nix based operating system (OSX). There is also almost an open socre and free version of every common application that there is for windows. That means you can have a comple desktop that is complied from socre and compltey free and has all the functionality of a windows desktop and the applications that you whould pay $100s for on windows. Of corse it is hard to pysicaly show this to some one with out forcing them to install linux on there computer, and if they are a windows zealot i don't know if there is anything you can do.

The thing is that most people have never heard of linux; they know mac and they know windows. They also know that the two are not compatible and you have to pay for either. Linux just doesn't even enter into their minds. Heck, I've shown people linux on my laptop and they always think it's just a theme of some kind. Lately it hasn't been as bad... but there are still a lot of clueless people out there. [edit] Oh! Updates!

This is a feeble attack on piracy. It won't help, and Western Digital will only lose customers. Besides, there are ways around these things. Can you archive them and then transfer them? DRM is on it's way out. No matter what the MIAA/MPAA do. And what do they think we will fill up our 1TB hard drives with? Word document and spread sheets?

This is what I don't understand. The anti-DRM consumer is generally the type of consumer who buys HDDs individually. For the RIAA, the people who buy their CDs generally could care less about DRM. I don't think the files are blocked at the hardware level. I believe the article said you had to install a client application instead of samba. So you won't have to circumvent DRM if you don't install Western Digital's client. They just try to make it very clear that the client is required (which it isn't). By the way MIAA is not a media related organization. I think you mean either MAFIAA or RIAA.

Quote: What's the best gaming console ever? now manny people will kill me for saying this but PS2 was unmatched for it's time, when it first came out nothing was as great as PS2, everyone had one, it was the console to have. now PS3 apprently made some mistakes (I don't really pay attention to it) but that doesn't mean PS2 (or PS1 for that matter) should be looked down upon, it's like saying Windows sucks because Windows ME, no Windows sucks because it's Windows. The PS2 had everything, top of the line first person shooters, the best RPG's I've ever seen, new and exciting gameplay, the first console to have onlin play. Let's face it, it was revulutionary. If you think I'm wrong please post your suggestion but remember things like "XBOX360 owns cause it has Halo3 zowg look at the graphics!" don't count casu graphics shouldn't matter as much as the gameplay and Halo 3 is only one game and Halo 2 was better so please think about stupid stuff like that before you argue.

momop, are you trying to fake trying not to be stupid? because its working... my vote without basis is the PC is the best gaming console. oh and saying PS2 is the best, even today because "it was good for its time" is bullshit. the 360 IS better than the PS2 because of the number of games, read: The Orange Box, Call of Duty 4, Halo series etc.

I have to admit I brought the original Xbox and always thought PS 2 was stupid. However it had many great games and separate software was available like a browser. Unlike the original Xbox PS 2 had guitar hero and DDR and new games are still being made for it. The original Xbox was dead when the 360 came out. I love the Halo series and love Xbox live but I truly believe PS 2 was the best console. The only flaw I find with the console is the weird controller configuration ; the two joy sticks are beside each other and lower the xbox controller is the best made controller because it fits all hands not just little kids hands like the Game Cube. My two cents.

My two cents. One of the flaws I find with the X-Box console is the weird controller configuration. The two joy sticks are asymmetric requiring extra coordination. It is big and doesn't fit all hands: the smaller the hand, the more difficult to use. The PS2 controller follows a symmetrical design minimizing the learning curve for everyone. It is also small and can, therefore, fit smaller hands. People with big hands might have more difficulty using it though.

Prefer ps2 over everything because of the metal gear solid series, naughty dog games like jak2, insomniac games like ratchet and clank, most games by squareenix, god of war and resident evil 4. Ps2 still has one of the best library of games for consoles. Apparently the ps2 is currently out selling the 360 and the ps3. Ps3 is too dam expensive for me and I prefer the wii. But I really want MGS4. I love the series. EDIT: Speaking of consoles, HD DVD lost the format war. Does this mean that the 360 is obsolete?

PS 3 talked about only selling games from their console and downloading them from the internet. I believe internet speed will increase and the time it takes will not an issue. But what about people without internet or dial-up. Also people like me who have minimal internet usage like 2 gigabytes will not want to pay extra fees for games. I see virtual games being very popular in the future like Roms. But I enjoy seeing collections of physical CD's etc. It also makes games less personal; I can hold my Cronno Trigger cartridge my Dad gave me when I was little or the marks where I tried to take the silly sticker off. etc.

Post subject:	Re: Yet another pointless and contentious thread.
Why not everyone is doing it. Actually a kid in my class handed in a assignment and my teacher asked him why random words were underlined and he didn't know. The next day my teacher figured out the entire project was copied from wikipedia and the underlined words were links. He told him to redo the project because he clearly plagerised but he told my teacher he wrote it on the wikipedia page so it was his words he copied. reluctancy he accepted it. Sounds like a back door to a lot of projects though I don't suggest it.

Author:	md [ Sun Feb 24, 2008 6:51 pm ]
Post subject:	RE:Yet another pointless and contentious thread.
That case could actually be verified. It's also highly unlikely for an entire project to be a single page on wikipedia. Furthermore if the student claimed not to know why words were underlined then he is attempting to show that he doesn't know anything about the internet; a far cry from someone who is writing wikipedia articles. Were I the teacher I'd have given him a 0, and possibly booted him from the class. The problem is that many things which are fair use are called "plagiarism". There are also only so many ways to say some things, all of which are likely to have been used before. The end result is that it's getting harder and harder to write a unique piece of work, or even write something taking advantage of fair use/dealings and not get branded with plagiarism.

Author:	BigBear [ Mon Feb 25, 2008 7:14 pm ]
Post subject:	Re: Yet another pointless and contentious thread.
I agree because by not knowing why words were underlined sort of implies that he didn't want the teacher to know he copied it. Someone could simply copy an older wiki page from History and it would be harder to find. His source for his work was another link with 4 sentences on the topic. Guess what I discovered when changing the color of text you can right whatever you want including light and dark neat.LIKE THIS Dark orange

Just like anything else, that would completely depend on the activity on the server. EDIT: Question: Are you going to buy a new server to use (assuming this gets off of the ground), or are you going to use your current workstation as the server and use an older computer as a workstation?

EDIT: Question: Are you going to buy a new server to use (assuming this gets off of the ground), or are you going to use your current workstation as the server and use an older computer as a workstation? I would buy one or more new servers to be hosted in a data-center somewhere, Windsor is looking nice at the moment. The business plan would be built around offering virtual servers (user mode linux), with cost based upon actual usage. Right now I'm in the development/feasibility study phase. As soon as I get a working model I'll do some private testing on my workstation for selected individuals, and if that turns out ok then I may get a 1U server and get it up and running. Rates would probably be a bit higher then the equivalent host in the states due to higher costs in Canada, however that should be more then offset by the benefit of hosting in Canada where there aren't insane laws like the DMCA.

Post subject:	Re: Yet another pointless and contentious thread.
April fools will always be around even if you are not involved in pranks. Someone should have made it an event with reply about previous pranks and stories. The first prank april fools did was create to day 1's in a row (class order depends if the number of the month is even or odd) Also at my school the administration gave parking notices about new stupid rules. However the first character of each line spelled "april fools" There were some announcements about teachers in beauty pageants and one kid placed a cell phone in the desk of another and called it getting him sent to the office but was told the joke before he got there. It is always fun to go around your house adjusting several things like turing the lid of the juice jug side ways, changing all the remotes to like AUX and putting in dead batteries, unplugging one phone, moving the toilets nossle to fill up the back tank to spray people when they flush. Well there are so many more but this is getting to be a rather heavy post.

Id like 10 $100 hookerbots. If you think about it, it would probably be much better. 10 AMAZING hookerbots or 100 terrible ones. Man that is actually a hard decision. I guess youd have to see if they were clean or not. 100 $10 infected hookerbots is not as good as 10 $100 clean hookerbots . If the 100 $10 hookerbots were clean then thats a whole different ball game. We need to investigate to see if the 100 $10 hooker bots are clean or infected!

Clayton, righto. The conversation was about God, and how it can be both omniscient and omnipotent and yet how humans can still have free will. I was arguing that an omniscient God precludes free will - the people I was talking to were trying to argue the opposite - mostly by attempting to skirt the issue. Specifically by arguing that knowing what someone will do is not the same as being responsible for what they do; though they were arguing it in such a way that there were a whole lot of side tracked discussions. Most of which involved violence happening to people. I think they had issues. Incidentally I just thought up a counter point to their example. If only I had a means of continuing the discussion

Author:	md [ Tue Apr 15, 2008 8:37 pm ]
Post subject:	Re: Yet another pointless and contentious thread.
I was originally going to post a lengthy proof against certainly commonly held (or supposedly held) religious beliefs. However, upon reflection I don't feel that I would do it justice. So, instead I won't argue it. I'll just say that anyone who believes in a omniscient, you're wrong! Haha, suckers! What md was going to say wrote: I agree. This thread is the perfect place, so long as it remains a polite discussion. I WILL be forced to delete people's posts and/or kick them (making it even harder to beat the record) if things go down hill. My position is that there is no God, and that most proposed Gods would be both counter to the teachings of the religion, and logically impossible in and of themselves. Take the Christian God for example. It is (he/she is hard) omniscient and omnipotent. Now, Christianity has two major schisms, one espousing free will and one which denies it. The former is the larger, and the one I shall tackle first. Now, we humans have free will. And yet God knows what we are going to do before we do it (omniscience). This is a logical contradiction, as if I have free will I am able to change my mind at any point in the decision making process; and if I can change my mind how can God know what I am going to do? If God DOES know what I am going to do, then how can I make any decisions? Either God is omniscient and I do not have free will, or God is omniscient and I do have free will. Furthermore, if God is omniscient then it must know everything, including everything there is to know about God - such as what God is going to do next. If God knows what God will do next, then the same problem that applies to humans applies to God as well - it cannot make decisions, as it already knows what will happen (If god does something else, then it wasn't omniscient which violates the assumption). Thus, an omniscient God logically excludes free will. The second schism suffers from an equally disastrous flaw. Suppose God IS omniscient, he must therefor know what we are going to do, and thus we lack Free will. We must also assume that God must follow the laws of physics - as shall be shown later. Humans are made of atoms, which are in turn made of electrons, protons and neutrons. These particles are made of quarks (which may or may not be indivisible). Quarks, and everything upon which they are built follow the laws of quantum dynamics - of which the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principal is one (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncertainty_principle). The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principal basically states that locating a particle in a small region of space makes the momentum of the particle uncertain; and conversely, that measuring the momentum of a particle precisely makes the position uncertain. In effect, you cannot know where a particle is and where it is going; implying that you cannot predict where it is going either - there is always a measure of uncertainty (or randomness). Since we are made up of particles (built of particles), and our functioning is based upon the interactions of these particles, there must therefor be some element of uncertainty (or randomness) in our thought processes. This in turn implies that no decision is certain, until such time as it is acted out. Thus, Quantum Mechanics implies Free Will, which is a contradiction of our assumption of God being omniscient. Thus God cannot be omniscient. God can also be shown to be Carry on as you wish.

This is a logical contradiction, as if I have free will I am able to change my mind at any point in the decision making process; and if I can change my mind how can God know what I am going to do? If God DOES know what I am going to do, then how can I make any decisions? Either God is omniscient and I do not have free will, or God is omniscient and I do have free will. Furthermore, if God is omniscient then it must know everything, including everything there is to know about God - such as what God is going to do next. If God knows what God will do next, then the same problem that applies to humans applies to God as well - it cannot make decisions, as it already knows what will happen (If god does something else, then it wasn't omniscient which violates the assumption). Thus, an omniscient God logically excludes free will. I have to contend this argument. Knowing something is going to happen and influencing what is going to happen are two different things. We can all have free will and omniscients can know the outcome. No logical exclusion there. You are entangling your free will with the theoretical higher power's ability to foresee the outcome. It is not the theoretical higher power's free will at the point of argument, but that of a human. The only aspect of pre-destiny at issue is solely the domain of the higher power's. Nothing exclusive here, from a human point of view. md @ Tue Apr 15, 2008 8:37 pm wrote: The second schism suffers from an equally disastrous flaw. Suppose God IS omniscient, he must therefor know what we are going to do, and thus we lack Free will. We must also assume that God must follow the laws of physics - as shall be shown later. Neither of those prepositions stand when discussing a theoretical higher power. The higher power knowing what you are going to do has nothing to do with what free will you have. As long as said higher power does not influence what he knows is about to happen, no breach of free will occurs. In that context, the only free will that is restricted is that of the higher power. They are not free to exert influence. An omnipotent, omniscient higher power cannot be assumed to be bound by the laws of physics; by definition of omnipotence. I pointlessly protest sir. Cheers

Post subject:	RE:Yet another pointless and contentious thread.
I agree, my line of argument is flawed. And really so is any other line of argument based on the fact that god is not a physical being upon whom hte laws of physics apply. That makes it rather hard to disprove him (and incidentally equally hard to prove he exists). Arguing god just isn't fun. Oh, but your wrong. If someone else (God) knows what choice you will make, before you make it, then there isn't really a choice - you must do what God knows you will do - or God would be wrong, and not omniscient. This line of reasoning implies that no one has free will, nor have they ever had free will. God is therefor responsible, by way of being the creator of the universe and thus responsible for it's particular configuration - where Alice is going to shoot Bob; because God knows it will happen. "We can all have free will and omniscience can know the outcome." Is a HUGE contradiction. Either we have free will, in which case we can change our minds at any point - in which case only the probability of any particular outcome can be known. Or, God knows what we are going to do (100% certainty) and we DO NOT have the ability to change our minds. You cannot have it both ways.

Disagree. A theoretical God could know what the free willed humans are going to do in advance. Two separate issues. An omnipotent, omniscient higher power doesn't even play on the same field. The only restriction to free will in that argument rests solely on the higher power to not meddle. Again, the pre-destiny problem is not a human problem. We wouldn't and couldn't know. But the higher power can know whatever they know to be coming without any effect on our free will. You're mixing playing fields. Not fair. md @ Wed Apr 16, 2008 8:40 am wrote: This line of reasoning implies that no one has free will, nor have they ever had free will.

And yes you can have it both ways. Two different games being played. Omni and Human. Human, by definition of the rules we are arguing, can't know the mind of the Omni; not so the other way round. Only the Omni is saddled with the problem and paradox of pre-destiny. And being omnipotent, paradox is a cake walk. Remember no one on the human team is allowed omni powers so we can pick and choose our course as we see fit and Bob still gets shot. Bob (or Alice) won't know until it's too late. Bob deserved it anyway. Cheers

You may spend more time going through all the options (spoilt for choice) than actually configuring the site, finding a niche, and snagging customers. Also note; Careful who you pick for a provider. For example, Rogers has fine print that disallows any form of "serving" from most user accounts, and they can boot you if you do and they feel like it. Unlikely sure, but it is in the fine print.

It also refers to Hitler. EDIT: From Wikipedia: The Wiki! wrote: "As a Usenet discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one."

Godwin's law is about the comprason of some one with hitler, not mearly saying the word hitler in a post. The idea is that they are invoking a logical falciy by iuslating or compraing the debater to hitler rather then attacking there points. Edit: the comprason above was not to hitler but to godwin's law even tho he did not aucatly type out godwin's law.

No he is making a comparsion to the fact that most peoleop say you lose the debate if you invoke godwins law. Thus the comprason is to godwin's law and not hitler.

Post subject:	RE:Yet another pointless and contentious thread.
No he is refercing it indirectly, if you read it you will see the comprason is dierectly to "bring Hitler into this" and not to just "hitler". so his logic is "bring Hitler into this" -> defated the logic of godwin's law with the exension that you lose if you envoke it is the same. Thus it indrectly references it.

IIRC the reason why people are mods is mostly because they know what their subject of mod-ship is quite well; and are fairly active. It might also have a wee bit to do with being on IRC when dan was looking for new mods, but that's a vrey small contributing factor.

Author:	Dan [ Thu May 15, 2008 7:06 pm ]
Post subject:	RE:Yet another pointless and contentious thread.
Some of the factors we look for are: Being knowable of a subject realting to the fourms Helping other users Time of the site Being trustworth/how well we know you Number of posts/how active you are in the comunity How modavited and engergetic you are about programming and the comunity. How much you report posts that have real problems/how much you have demstarted you will use mod powers correctly and in what cases. Being on the irc room can help as we will get to know you better and that helps for the trust part but it does not mean you will be a mod for sure. Also there where serveral other users consdiered for being mods but as i side we just don't have need for all of them to be mods even tho many are both deversing and qualifed. It's not an easy desion to remove inactive mods from the mod list and to pick witch users to replace them with, esptal this time with some many strong canindates. As i metioned befor we would like to have more user input in feutter desions rather then tony and myself and this will like take the fourm of the admins and senior staff nomniation a list of users and leting the comunity vote on who they want to be a mod and mods needing to be reelected each term. This plan is not finalized but when more detials are avaible i will post information realting to it, to the news fourm. Also just becues you did not get picked this time does not mean you are not an imporent part of the comunity and it does not mean you will not be picked in the futtuer to be a mod.

Post subject:	RE:Yet another pointless and contentious thread.
They are resistant to pesticides, so that's not a very good solution. You might be able to kill many of the ants (but not all) by spraying so much pesticide that people and animals are poisoned too; but you'd still be left with - now immune - ants; conveniently with fresh humans and animals to eat and rebuild their numbers. A much better solution is to nuke them from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

You haven't delved into System Service programming yet I'd guess. Any properly engineered OS is far from boring. I requested permission to stay after hours and play with BLISS and MACRO. Good for the soul my man, good for the soul. But yes, compared to the whizz bang of "personal" computing, work horse machines are a lot more like, umm, work; but not if you dig into $ HELP SYSTEM_SERVICE. And a warning; if you have god privs beware of the memory management services with PMAP in the name. The P does not stand for Paged as the docs would originally allude. It stands for Physical, so when you code using that service and think you are hitting virtual mapped page 0, you are really hitting physical page 0. It was the only time I ever hard crashed our Dev machine Then I heard other guys on the team about to do the same thing a few days later ... it turns out those manual pages have to be read very carefully. <rant> Anyway; you may actually come to the same belief system /me've had since my early days. PC's are chump toys (with useless eye candy) compared to real computers. Anyone here that thinks differently - compare the fiscals for MS and IBM. Real men use real computers. The rest of us get to play on little toy machines under the control of mickey mouse operating systems.

This is a serious issue, and if the numbers keep continueing the Human Population will no longer be supported on earth. However, there is still time for corrections in what we do to stop killing them and that.

Turing:

Bees := Pollination_of_Flowers

if Bees = 0 then
Pollination_of_Flowers := 0
elsif Pollination_of_Flowers = 0 then
put "Say goodbye!"
end if

I want to tell anyone and everyone who still thinkgs turing is a viable programming language that is worth making shitty GUI libraries for and pretending like by doing so you have saved the world from a terrible evil. --you people make me sick.

NO ONE CARES ABOUT TURING PAST GRADE 10!. get over it. thank you. apomb is becoming immersed in the world of work. Real men use real computers. I'm of two minds on this one apomb. Yes industrial and core business applications should be with real tools and not really on PC's. When someone invents the laptop Business Computer, the <insert Canadian Inventor name here> BC, I'll rethink that stance, but not until then. But, to be honest ... all programming is ok. I've got professional pals that still make a living with VB. As long as we never have to get on an airplane with Turing avionics it all should work out. The 'net is making it so coders can make a living in just about every language under the sun ... again, as long as these are just webpage backends, entertainment or "productivity tool", 'sall good. And hopefully the up and coming Global Enterprise CTO's from compsci.ca will realize that industrial apps are not built with teaching lingos. As a professional you may bump into this more and more. Programmers making systems based on mickey mouse tools, but yet when you look; they get paid and paid well and the companies even thrive. Doesn't really make sense, but it is the reality. Cheers

I have hard time accepting that any full time pure programming career is worth getting paid well for... i am of the midset that real work involves more than just being able to type out a set of instructions. but of course, im not opposed to it, its just taking some getting used to. as for me not taking turing seriously... i'm over it. I concede to not go into the turing forums in fear of flaming some grade 10 kid who believes that his new turing program is revolutionary.

Ahahaha, Mackie thinks that there is a bug in PHPBB. Mackie can't post here at this time!!

I go to work for a measly 7 hours and what happens? All hell breaks loose! Threads reach 80 pages and get moved by a certain mod who's name rhymes with haton, and I'm left to pick up the pieces! I hope your all happy, you've ruined my day.

IIRC the only real bugs with phpbb occur somewhere around 500 or 1000 pages. Clearly we're a long way off.

I see how this must have been funny to those in on the joke! "wtf? where'd it go? dan'd better fix this!" and "phpbb must suck, only 80 pgs before it crashes?" and "I forgot what the whole title was". Funny stuff.

Mackie; why thank you. To be honest, it is more due to age than IQ. I like to think of my IQ in the 85 to 100 (and a little) range; depends on the day, the time and were the moon is. You will all find that your brain is a fairly large empty space; one life time won't fill it - so go ahead and try. Cheers
