----------------------------------- md Tue Dec 12, 2006 2:24 am 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'm not uptodate on anything canadian, since for some retarded reason the schools here think AMERICANS is what we should learn about.... Anyways, usa sucks, never wanna live there... oh and, Canada's the best, its not ever populated, theres nice forests, lots of animals, clean air (where i live anyway), free (mostly) medicare... Face it, Canada > USA. ----------------------------------- CodeMonkey2000 Fri Dec 15, 2006 7:21 pm ----------------------------------- TokenHerbz, stop trying to write in a Canadian accent, and saying u like Canadian stuff. we all kno u are American. now for something really off topic do you kno the muffinman? ----------------------------------- md Fri Dec 15, 2006 8:03 pm ----------------------------------- TokenHerbz, you're an idiot (though you're right about Canada being better then the USA). spearmonkey, and everyone else who seemingly can't write proper english, "u" is not a word, nor is "kno"; the words are "you" and "know". Seriously, the added effort to type correctly is infinitesimally small so please write like someone who didn't fail grade 1 english. And I do know the Muffin Man... and if I see him again I'll take another bite out of him ;-) Cervantes edit: fixed md's spelling in the sentence where he called TokenHerbz an idiot.

Oh yea, happy new years everyone!!!! omg 2006 went by soo quickly!!! I was reading the turing help file today, and for fun I look at the really really really old posts, from 2002, and i must say things have really changed since then. Soo many poeple asking "can you write my program??" and "I need help!!". the worst part was People actually wrote programs for the slackers. Compsci was a dangerous place back then.

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... ----------------------------------- Clayton Wed Jan 10, 2007 1:23 am Re: Yet another pointless and contentious thread. ----------------------------------- have you tried googling it?

There is no proof that such a being exists, or is required to exist for the universe to exist as it does. I actually consider anyone who does believe in god to be delusional at best, clinically insane at worst. I'm a believer in truth by proof.

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.

You cant label someone who thinks differently than you as "delusional", you need to be more accepting. But the one thing I cant stand about religen is this need to convert others. It is wrong, its like saying "our cultre is better than yours, you suck! be more like us!" and it restricts diversity. Modern christianity isnt fraud. I believe it tries to instil good moral values. Santa is a fraud though, he is just some marketing gimmick that prays on the imagination of children. Santa has changed christmas from a day of celebrating Jesus's birth into selfish materialism. Santa has degenerated christmas. He was created by masive corperations to make more money. I'm sure they will try to do the same with other religons like islam,hinduism judism etc. I find using religeon to promote matirealism just disgusting. ----------------------------------- Clayton Wed Jan 10, 2007 5:38 pm Re: Yet another pointless and contentious thread. ----------------------------------- ou are soo close minded.

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. ----------------------------------- CodeMonkey2000 Wed Jan 10, 2007 6:49 pm 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 :P . 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. ----------------------------------- md Wed Jan 10, 2007 8:14 pm 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, 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. 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). Believe all they want; I still say that beef tastes good and if I have to kill a cow to get it then get me a gun, 'cause it's eat'n time. 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 Razz . God == Gods == supernatual beings. 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. 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. 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. ----------------------------------- neufelni Wed Jan 10, 2007 8:52 pm RE:Yet another pointless and contentious thread. ----------------------------------- I disagree with your viewpoint on God. I believe in God and am a Christian. And why do you dislike Christianity so much. It seems as if today's society teaches to be tolerant of other beliefs and religions, yet it seems to be acceptable to be intolerable towards Christianity. ----------------------------------- rdrake Wed Jan 10, 2007 10:42 pm RE:Yet another pointless and contentious thread. ----------------------------------- On another note, I paid $17.99 for 50 DVD-Rs.

Not too sure what the colour of my shirt is. It's almost like a white colour with a hint of yellow mixed in (no, it's not what you're thinking of). It sure as hell isn't red. On a side note, anybody else ever try LFS? It's quite nice, but takes tons and tons of work. ----------------------------------- md Mon Feb 12, 2007 11:28 pm RE:Yet another pointless and contentious thread. ----------------------------------- LFS is nice like Gentoo is nice; source based distributions are wonderful. However... LFS has no package management of any kind, which for almost everyone is a pain in the ass. Portage makes the world go round. /me at rdrake with a phaser and hits the plasma conduit behind it, which promptly explodes burning rdrake horribly. If your wearing a white shirt it must be TNG, and you must be a science person on a space station, and they always get hurt horribly. ----------------------------------- CodeMonkey2000 Wed Feb 28, 2007 7:23 pm RE:Yet another pointless and contentious thread. ----------------------------------- This died AGAIN!

Discussing whatever is distinct from spamming, however. ----------------------------------- md Thu Mar 01, 2007 1:23 am RE:Yet another pointless and contentious thread. ----------------------------------- It is? I find they become remarkably similar after a while. Anyone got any ideas why a USB HD isn't being recognized on one computer while my other sees it perfectly? I'm hoping it's not a bug in the 2.6.20 kernel; because it happens to fix a lot of other hardware bugs... ----------------------------------- apomb Thu Mar 01, 2007 2:19 am Re: Yet another pointless and contentious thread. ----------------------------------- I'm having similar problems, but with it not detecting my cell phone when i connect it via USB. ----------------------------------- Amailer Thu Mar 01, 2007 7:51 am RE:Yet another pointless and contentious thread. ----------------------------------- Friend had a similar problem with his cell phone too - first time it recognized it, but he had said ignore the hardware or w/e - when he tried it again it kept saying - some corrupt hardware? Anyhow, he just restarted his comp - unpluged/pluged it back in and it worked :/ ----------------------------------- War_Caymore Mon Mar 05, 2007 2:12 pm RE:Yet another pointless and contentious thread. ----------------------------------- I am having a similar problem. My computer has no problem detecting an old USB MP3 player (which is now a junk drive) but when i go to put it on his computer, it pops up on the task bar as uninstalled hardware. The MP# didn't come with any software so it's technicaly flash memory with a USB port. His computer isn't much older than mine (although his is a Dell >. defated the logic of godwin's law with the exension that you lose if you envoke it is the same.
