About the atmosphere on the message board. This is what I think about it. When skinning started there was less interest by the "general public". Most people involved in skinning knew each other. Skinners and users were in it together. When a skin was released it just didn't appear from one day on the other. It was first debated and tested in the news groups. If all bugs were fixed and everyone was happy about its looks then it was submitted to a skin site. During the years the user group is grow

When all the laughter dies in sorrow And the tears have risen to a flood When all the wars have found a cause In human wisdom and in blood Do you think they'll cry in sadness Do you think the eye will blink Do you think they'll curse the madness Do you even think they'll think When all the great galactic systems Sigh to a frozen halt in space Do you think there will be some remnant Of beauty of the human race Do you think there will be a vesti

I doubt if I ever see the light. If there is a god then at the moment he has an off-age (meaning he doesn't do remarkably well the last couple of thousand years). [Message Edited]

It is all about believing? Whether you believe in a god or not? Do you believe in UFOs? Maybe they brought us humans here or brought us knowledge. There are people who truely believe that. We should keep an open mind to that too? For the moment the evolution theory has more structural proof than the other two, so I stick with that.

BakerStreet (about your earlier response to me): Well again this is my opinion. You are talking about "our ideals" and assumed they were human. If I'm saying "We can also think" then that doesn't tell much of what I think about animals. You are assuming too much. And I do believe we humans are able to select our destiny. I think humans are free to do what they want within the limits of their abilities and responsibilities. No need for a religion. We have done fine thousands of years wit

BakerStreet: If there is no supernatural force influencing our ideals, then we have to accept that we are compelled only by our nature, genetics, instincts, and oddly those do not jive with human virtues. This is my opnion about it. We can also think. You forget that. We can also be taught by people in our environment and by real live situati

Automated news. in Personal Computing JoeUser Forums

Have any of you seen http://news.google.com ? This Google site (in beta) is a fully automated news site. According to Google: "The headlines that appear on Google news are selected entirely by computer algorithms, based on how and where the stories appear elsewhere on the web. There are no human editors at Google selecting or grouping the headlines and no individual decides which stories get top placement. This occasionally results in some articles appearing to be out of context." <

BMW recommends that you always wear your seat belts. in Movies & TV & Books JoeUser Forums

Some days ago I stumbled upon http://www.bmwfilms.com . That site contains some short action movies directed by respected directors like John Woo. The movies are distributed on the internet by BMW of North America. In a lot of regular movies we see products being advertised. Although this isn't often very clear, until you realize that all cellulars used in the Matrix (for an example) were made by Nokia. It looks to me that BMW's short movies are the next step in commercials. Will we be seeing mo

Reply to Your fav tv commercial of all time??? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Several short movies were made for BMW. These are 6 to 8 minute action movies. Featuring BMW cars of course. The last movie was directed by John Woo. All movies are very professional. No low budget crap. http://www.bmwfilms.com [Message Edited]

Old in Blogging JoeUser Forums

I've read _Martin_'s blog about how he loved his visit to the US and about how he thought Americans were lucky. That made me think. First I wanted to reply to his post, but that would take away the intention of his blog. We all think in stereotypes and have preoccupations when the people we meet or the views we encounter are unknown to us. Have you ever met an Eskimo? I didn't. The only thing I know about them them comes from TV, newspapers and comics. I vaguely know that the term Eskim

Drop125: Out of the blue? You have your opinion ready eventhough you were never there. You also did that in another thread recently where IRC was a subject for a bit. There are people who have been in #Stardock and #WinCustomize for a very long time and never did any of the things you are mentioning. That is, to say the least, very unfriendly.

Xerraire: This http://www.hobrad.com/etcont.htm is fun to read. "The Evolutionary Tales" is written in the style of Chaucer's "The Canterbury Tales". It gives insight about some of the issues discussed in this thread.
