#1 [quote who="KFC Kickin For Christ" reply="15" id="2894414"] I do not believe in god … what am I missing? Salvation. [/quote] Is a valid belief. But it is just that. #2 And Truth? You no more have to accept my faith, or anyone elses here as the "truth". IN the end, it is just our belief after all. We may be right (we believe we are) in which case you are in trouble in the next life. Or you may be right
[quote who="starkers" reply="43" id="2894443"] Google is not evil. Okay, then, Google is a tool being used for evil by its creators and administrators. Of that I have no doubt! Better?[/quote] Indeed! On that I will agree. A man after my own cynicism!
[quote who="lulapilgrim" reply="4" id="2894444"]Yes, welcome to JU. It's been a good place for me to discuss and hope the same of you. Ha, I don't do social media either and for the same reason...to old!

I love star trek, and remember both episodes. But on a gripe, does anyone other than me think that too many of the themes of the original Star Trek were repeated in TNG? Almost verbatim as far as plot lines. That is my biggest disappointment with TNG.
[quote who="Tova7" reply="1" id="2894045"]Welcome. And yes, that would be a great tag line...lol But if you like to argue, you've come to the right place!![/quote] I fear I may not be a good arguer or debater. I am more an OCD - I look for the nits to pick. But thank you for your welcome, and best of luck in your good fight!

[quote]Why is it ALWAYS 2 enemies, right or wrong, good or bad, correct or not, light or dark or even true or not? It seems as though we are not even allowed any slack with such mundane things as possible or not, believable or not, practical or not, feasible or not or even provable or not, go figure. Doesn’t make much sense to me but seems accurate nonetheless.[/quote] You make the same mistake of your opponents. You try to assign a "truth" to an opinion instead of facts.
I call Horse hockey! So you have never seen a building come down like the 2 trade centers did without the intervention of man. Given you have already acknowledged the intervention of man (and hence an intelligence behind the plan to crash the planes), please cite examples of where buildings did not come straight down due to natural forces that did not involve shaking, wind, water or any other lateral force that would account for the buildings movement in a non-vertical manner.</
[quote who="starkers" reply="30" id="2893902"]I'm not going to go on one of my usual Google rants here! Instead I'm just going to say this.... While some people may think that Google is not evil, I do. [/quote] As Phil Esterhaus was want to say - Let's be careful out there! Google is not evil. The use of Google can be evil if the ones running the company want to take it in that direction. A simple tool, such as a hammer, can be used to b
In answer to your question and the first couple of comments - anger as an every day emotion is normal. Uncontained anger is a result an inability to convey your message along with an unwillingness or inability to understand your shortcomings. Not being able to convey a message to your "opponent" may not be your shortcoming, but theirs. But the inability to understand where the shortcoming is originating is part of the generation of anger.

Where is the dang category? Oh, excuse me. Was looking for a category and could not find one. Picked the mixed pickle one. Been in computers a long time, not my entire life. Dino did not have thumbs, so we just used rocks to count back in the day. But I learned, So I have been enjoying them for a while now. Don't do social media. Don't trust them. Too old to start. Anyway, I am old, opinionated, and been around. So I will
I wonder why all the soldiers in Wars are not arrested and executed for profiling based upon the nationality of the opposition?

Great comparison! But Cisco IOS and Linux Kernel have an unfair advantage - they are not GUI. GUI has the inevitable Buffer Over Flows that compound their problems.
[quote who="Bahu Virupaksha" reply="8" id="2893274"]I had rightly predicted that the example in Tunisia will spread and now Col Gadaffi is the next Head of State to topple.[/quote] That was not the thesis of your post. You are being disingenuous in claiming a prognostication when your thesis had nothing to do with contemporary reality. In otherwords you are claiming credit where none is due. I predict you will claim credit for the next despot to fall - I am th

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="179" id="2893018"] I can certainly agree with that, especially if we had another Cheney around. However, the need for defense of the net (hard structures and software) is clearly needed. What would you propose?[/quote] Another Cheney? Seems we have worse. A president that does not obey the laws, nor enforce them. He is no Cheney, he is an Obama. When did Cheney refuse to enforce or obey the laws openly?
You go girl! Do not back down.
[quote who="Uvah" reply="13" id="2893722"]Question. Can an external HD be used as an additional active drive like C:? Say if I wanted to create a separate drive other than C: to install software.[/quote] If you mean - can it be just another hard drive on your system to install programs on? Yes. If you mean can you install the boot OS on it? The answer is - depends - on your BIOS. If your computer is kind of new, you can as almost all new BIOS' allow booting fro
