Aileron

That was a commandment to the Jews specifically. Besides, that passage has a point there. I don't like pork. It tastes awfull, its fatty, and stringy. I can see that a person who doesn't eat pork will be healthier than somebody who doesn't. Maybe it is evil. Same thing for s-*BAD WORD*-fish. Besides, I think the point is that you shouldn't eat the hooves, scales, and fins specifically.

good question. My interpretation is about 50 to 100 years. I am also counting the possiblity of clone organizations.

My point was merely to prove that a bill, provided it was enacted, to reduce spam would be able to get past the first amendment. Since local ISPs pay for spam against their will, spammers do not have the theorhetical right to speak in this case. If anti-spam legislation was enacted, it wouldn't be uncons!@#$%^&*utional. As for enforcement, that is a completely different set of problems. Step one is to recognize spam as a problem, step two is to deal with it. You are putting the cart before the horse. As for the amount of money spammers make, it isn't enough. Yes, they make a lot, but lawyers make more. It is unlikely that most companies will get convicted. However, we don't have to do that. All we have to do is make it more expensive to defend spam than it is worth. Given the amount lawyers fees cost, anti spam laws have a shot, not of convicting companies, but of making spam unprofitable.

Wouldn't it be more streamlined to have the control similar to that Decent uses? Thus, have the control buttons turn the ship, two others to apply foward and backwards thrust, and two more to roll the ship. BTW, that reminds me of something like a bug I found. Sometimes when I turn, the ship rolls like it is supposed to. However, other times it will just yaw in the direction I want. I think the problem is that I am not on staff, and you need ailerons to roll or bank your aircraft. Yes, I know this is spacecraft and not aircraft, but not haveing any is not a good thing.

Also, I'm going off topic but, at this point are you supposed to be able to crash into bases, asteroids, etc.? I seem to be able to fly right through them.

I am sorry, but I really don't know those things off the top of my head. I do know that it is a brand new Dell Ispiron 1100. Admittingly, this is probably the slowest computer Dell currently makes, but still the point is that it is unlikely that this is due to hardware.

I'll use a numerical score as an analogy. I recognize that this is an oversimplification and somewhat silly, but it is the best way I can get the point accrossed. Well, suppose for a minute that God kept a score in a numerical fashion. The point is that supoosing a crime happened to you, your reactions would be on the following gauge: x -1 multiplier for if you punished the criminal more than he hurt you. x 0 multiplier for if you punished the criminal by the same degree as he hurt you x 1 multiplier for if you forgave the criminal x 2 if you turned the other cheek Obviously, the multiplier would be multiplied by the degree of the crime and added to your lifetime score. Now comes the tricky part. When He made the statement in the Old Testiment, it was to society as a whole. Societies are composed of everybody and should attempt to include everybody, both the good and the evil. Thus, they start with a score at 0 and their ideal score is also 0. Thus, a societies ideal action should be eye for an eye, because it neither increases or decreases their score. Individuals on the other hand, start with a score at some negative constant and have an ideal score at some positive number. Thus, individuals need to forgive. However, it is not wrong for somebody to demand an eye for an eye, it is only wrong to demand more than that.

Well, ofcourse. The EU will survive easily. The countries of Eupope would otherwise be in economic decline if they do not sacrifice their sovreignty and merge their cultures. Basically, the only way the EU will die is by replacement. Most likely, within the next 200 years the countries of Europe will cease to be, and the continent will only be of one country named "Europe". Now, due to the current way the UN is structured, this will not be a complete merge - one country gets one vote. The only question is Russia and the United Kingdom, which have distinct enough cultures to not wish that. Given how both of these countries have permanent seats on the Security Council, it is unlikely that either of them will buy into this merge. Now maybe my opinion is too strong. However, was is positive is that there is a major merging of cultures and economies in mainland Europe. Thus, the power of the EU or it's clone will only get stronger. The countries that need to watch out for this are non-European states. They have the challenge of making the distiction between European Political trends that they should stay out of and Worldwide political trends they should join. Thus, when France makes a UN proposal that is backed by Germany, Spain, Austria, and Poland, countries like the US and Japan have to determine weather or not there opinion is universal or local to Europe. It is worse for the semi European nations of the United Kingdom and Russia. Not only do they have the problems of non-Europeans, but they also have to determine their level of involvement. This is because these two nations have a stronger sense of iden!@#$%^&*y as well as geographic isolation. (Yes, geographic isolation does still matter - you can't email a 20 ton shipment somewhere.) Thus, they want to make ties with the rest of europe, but not a strong of ties as Germany and France would like.

!@#$%^&*uming this bill will behave like the related telemarketing "do not call" list, it should have no problem getting past congress and the president. The real problem is that most likely the Supreme Court will attempt to declare it uncons!@#$%^&*utional. However, in this case, anti-spam laws might have a method of approach phone calls do not. The biggest relevent difference between spam by phone and spam by email is who pays for the spam. If it is by phone, the company telemarketing has to pay for the phone call. If it is by email, the email provider pays, and the bill gets footed to the reciever. Thus, when somebody spams by email, they are forcing somebody not only to view the message but to pay for the message being sent. While in reality this cost is insignificant, in legal terms spam can be construed as robbery.

For technical purposes the sixth commandment is "Thou shalt not murder". It was translated as "Thou shalt not kill" for layman's purposes under the understanding the the technical defignition would be used. Thus, things like capital punishment and war have the possiblity of being acceptible if proper justification is given. Ill also put this idea by you - seperation between church and state is itself a christian idea. I don't remember the passage, but when Jesus was inquired about the of taxes vs sacrifice, His reply was "give to Ceaser's what is Ceaser and give to God what is God's". As for how religious texts contradict themselves, actually they don't. The reader needs to have a higher understanding of the text in order to see that they don't. I will site a popular one. In the old testiment the bible says "eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth"; in the new it say "turn the other cheek". On first glance, it appears to be a direct contradiction. However, one must realise what these messages are. The former is a requirement. Basically, what it means is that the punishment for a crime should not exceed the crime itself. Basically, it would be wrong to gauge BOTH eyes of the guy who only got ONE of yours. Also, it is a message to a society rather than an individual. While individuals should try to be as good as possible, societies, being composed of both good and evil citizens, should aim towards the moral center. The second is a request. While seekers of justice are required to not punish in a greater degree than the crime, it would be nice of them to forgive the crime entirely. Since all people are sinners, a certain amount of extra behavior is required just to get back to center, let alone exceed it. Thus, the line between request and requirement is blurred. However, the point is that this is not a direct contradiction.

Recognize that Napoleon tried to pit the United Kingdom against the rest of Europe. Also, note that this was probably the stupidest decision he ever made. The UK laid economic beatings on the rest of Europe. Yes, a LOT has changed since then. England isn't the ecomomic power it once was. Germany has grown and Frace has diminished. However, my two points are that first off you don't know what can happen and secondly that history favors England over Mainland Europe.

I tried running CNL on my laptop, and CNL runs rather slowly and choppy. All things considered, I think the cause to this would be Windows XP.

Would it be possible to set up a PC as a server, and host a small zone out of it?

not true! A bomb with 8 will do damage to a 1 tile wide ship.

I don't like simulations, they really are only as good as the programmer. The only conclusion I came to was that there was more than one shooter. It could be an international conspiracy, or it could have been Oswald's hick friends. I really don't want to go into it any farther than that.

He isn't going to "real jail". He isn't even going to minumum security prison. Face it, most likely he is gonna call up his expensive lawyer, ease through the trial, and come out scott free. Maybe the prosecution will make him pay a fine, but it is unlikely a guy that rich will be convincted of that small a crime.

Look! Up in the sky! Its a bird! Its a plane! No, its SuperBot!

Oh btw, that was me. stupid log in ~mumble~ ~mumble~

First off, it is Christ's deeds we are trying to disprove or prove, moreso than whether or not a guy named Jesus existed. As for your first point, you proved nothing. You !@#$%^&*ERTED that it was all a lie, based on the fact that it was possible to be a lie. However, in my opinion, given how the church managed to survive for so long and more importantly through vastly changing political atmosphere's, and coupling that with the place where it origionated, I highly doubt it is a 2000 year old scam. Besides, in case you haven't noticed, priests do not make that much money. Yes, the !@#$%^&*le does have its share of power and a decent wage, but not enough to make it realistic over this amount of time. As for the third point, your "questionable political motive" includes getting oneself killed on a cross. That is whether you are religious or secular because if you opposed Rome inside one of their provinces, that is where you ended up. Again, I cannot disprove you, because again you !@#$%^&*erted your point without proving it. However, I can say that your opinion is unlikely because most of the people who opposed Rome at the time got killed, an their movement with them.

The point was, as I see it, that 12 guys changed the religion of an entire empire against the will of politics. Face it, given how there was a link between religion and state back then, it is a miracle in itself that they managed to survive long enough to spread their word, let alone that fact that their word spread long enought and far enough to change the mindset of the dominant power. That is difficult enough, but the Romans were more likely to torture a person to death than adopt their way of life. This in itself doesn't prove Chistianity is correct, but it does prove that it is a respectable belief.

The UN never was designed for the task. It was designed to be a forum for international discussion without infringing on member nations sovreignty. It never was a decision making body, because to enforce its decisions would be to violate nation's sovreignty. This also makes it hard to come to a concensus, because issues never reach a point of action, thus never end.

Nah, hes gonna walk. It isn't illegal to be a freak.

http://www.subspacedownloads.com/files/metalgear.zip Here is a shipset you can use.

dang, I am agreeing with everybody.

Well, I agree that religion should hold precidence over government. I also agree that the US is primarily christian. Thus, when we do away with religion, even on public property, we risk destroying our culture. Thus, such decisions should be decided slowly and carefully, not rapidly by a handfull of protesters. As for the Catholic/Christian thing, the distinction lies in the many groups of protestant wannabes. Catholicism is the one true form of christianity, the others are just immitators. Also, I hope people whos name begins with "M" refrain from posting here. ...I'm ticking everyone off today.
