Re: You're missing the supposed point, Wyerleader. The problem is that Craig was a 'hypocrite', not his particular point of hypocrisy. That is, the problem isn't the nature of the issue behind it, but the hypocrisy itself. And no liberal could ever be a hypocrite. That requires having a standard or … | |
Re: Yes, it is. A prayer doesn't require a sacrifice. The last sacrifice required by Christianity was called in ~2k years ago. | |
I am trying to program a work-related report system. The reports are generated in php, and I have been requested to have the results sent via email to the individual who needs to review them. (That is, one person generates the reports to look at via an external program, but … | |
Re: On the supposed scattering problem: What's the dosage of such substances that would be scattered in that event? According to the encyclopedia function of Reference.com, U-235 has a half-life of 7×108 years, while Pu-239 has a half-life of ~24,000 years. Sure, they're [I]dangerous[/I], because of the possiblity of using them … | |
Re: What makes you say that? It's not like he's going after something honorable. All Dave is doing is pointing out errors in the bloated scion of a twisted dream born from broken promises. | |
I'm supposed to be writing a program to pick up files left in an ftp server directory. I have ftp access to the directory, and I have a copy of the Indy pack components installed on my system. However, I'm running into a problem. The files I'm supposed to be … | |
Re: Exactly how many 'First World' countries are there? And how do the others compare on a point-by-point plot to America over those discussion points? | |
Re: I just want to know how he's defining predestined. If he's using the traditional "it [I]will[/I] happen, there's nothing you can do to escape it" sense, then I do not believe that it exists. But if he's using a slightly different variant of "This is how things are planned out", … | |
Re: [quote=christina>you;355337]Lol interesting. Do you believe aliens exist?[/quote] Of course! Just look, they're always sneaking across the border and ... oh, wait. You meant the other kind, huh?

Re: In my opinion, the only condiment worth using is mustard, and that only on hamburgers, hotdogs, and ham sandwiches. So no, no ketchup on my eggs...[I]nothing[/I] on my eggs. | |
Re: [quote=happygeek;423242]The Scotland one was more of a working holiday, so after the 12 hour drive I ended up spending 5 or 6 hours a day working on my book. The book is a study of identity in the digital age, so I guess that really counts as geek activity :)[/quote] … | |
Re: [quote=stevex;419652]To TheGathering First of all, thank you for your reply to my paper/posting. You are the type of person I am looking for. Because of my workload, overtime for 31 years, I couldn't respond immediately. Permit me to do so now. [B]Your words are marked by an arrow....> My printing … | |
I'm sorry if the title isn't the most informative, but this is something that I've had happen to me twice recently. I don't know if it's a problem on my end, I don't know if it's something that really needs to be worried about, but I thought I'd toss it … | |
Does anyone have a good method for formatting a numeric value as an American currency value in Perl? I'm not finding anything in my searches. Thank you for your consideration. | |
Is someone messing with a system css or xsl page? Yesterday, I came onto the site, and after a few minutes, the coffeehouse messed up. The normal banners weren't working; all possible extended links in the dropdown segment up top were showing, and as far as I can tell all … | |
I am working on a program in Delphi where I need to be able to escape the enter key. There is a method that might work, but using it requires that I know the Word datatype value of the enter key upon entering the code. Would anyone know where an … | |
Re: [quote=quintoncoert;416949]i agree with salem. my opinion is that we are still in the aftermath of the time that witch doctors and priests ruled tribes via the orders of ther gods and the human race has not yet let a generation go free so as to break the cycle.[/quote] Does this … | |
Re: The evidence I've seen tends to indicate that global warming is a natural event, not a man-made one. It's possible the warming is changing things, I'll agree, but to blame that on mankind is excessive. And as to extinctions: Most of the species that have gone extinct over time did … | |
I've been asked to look into a project with a TcxMaskEdit component that's throwing some problems. The main one is this: The user is expected to hit tab to move between fields. The TcxMaskEdit in question is the last field, and it is suspected that the user will hit enter … ![]() | |
Re: O~kay...I didn't even bother [I]taking[/I] the test; I just went through and slabbed down the first answer to each question as my choice. 15 correct. Although I'd love to know how I was wrong about a question that reads 'Did you understand that last question'... | |
Re: [quote=happygeek;416541]Well, speaking as a Pagan, I always thought my name was Davey.[/quote] Sorry to disappoint you, but the historical usage refers to that as your Christian name, no matter the belief you hold to. (As opposed to Surname.) | |
I noted a small item in the editorial column of a paper a short while back that kind of caught my interest. It sparked a couple of thoughts off in me, and I'd kind of like to know what others think about the topics it raised. The item in question … | |
Re: I think mostly the [I]real[/I] charges are "He's a bad, bad, ba-ad man' and 'BUSH BAD! BUSH BAD!', although I could be mistaken. For the word ba-ad, pronounce as though bleating like a sheep. | |
Does renaming the crontab file cause problems with the cron process? About a week ago, I was trying to make an update to the crontab files on all of our district servers. About halfway through, I got this 'brilliant' idea to simply copy the crontab file off of a system … | |
Re: I'm a bit skeptical of the article you quoted, mostly because of the attribution given by the author for the King James Version of the scriptures (KJV). [quote=Article]Now the simple fact is, we do not know exactly what body of water is referenced by yam suph in Scripture, which is … | |
I've been working with a css file to produce a few bits of needful output formatting for some php-built reports that are designed to be printed from the web. Recently, though, on one of our systems, I had an incident where it looked as though part of the css was … | |
Would someone mind filling me in on what's happening with Rep points? My last item of rep (rep added to me) was on July 13th. About two weeks ago, I had 332 rep points according to my Control Panel. Yesterday, I looked at an older post, and saw that I … | |
I'm working on a php-built report that's supposed to be printed out. It may be used on IE, it may be used on Firefox, I'm not sure which and have no control over the issue. Differences in the output formatting of the two browsers mean I have to be able … | |
Re: [quote=jbennet;413479]Im winning though hehehe ;)[/quote] Is it really 'winning' when you've got such a head start going for you? | |
Re: Quick question, Sturm. If we (Americans) are all so stupid, then [I]why[/I] do the individuals you just mentioned come here to enter the academic world? | |
Yesterday, I was attempting to reload a remote copy of a postgresql database that had been corrupted. Creating the new db went well, as did reloading the data schema, but somewhere during the reload of the data itself, I lost the remote connection. After killing the now-unworking putty connection and … | |
I'm trying to decipher a set of program files I was given to work with. I don't have the original source (as far as I know) or a copy of the executable, merely a set of files I was requested to deal with. The files came in two directories, 'data' … | |
Re: Given the way it seems to be going, in the United States at least, I'm suspicious about that. The research may offer support, which I am in favor of, but it may also lead to off-course attempts to cure it becoming entrenched in scientific philosophy. I already suspect that most … | |
Re: [quote=Aia;404667]I guess you have to ask Mr. Al Gore. After all, he also invented the internet, and who knows what else.[/quote] If I recall correctly, he also claims to have been the one to have 'found' Love Canal. And on the 'net inventor claim: How are we defining the 'internet' … | |
Re: I suspect the point there is that most of us wish it had been us; we tend to feel that we could have stood firm [I]where[/I] someone else fell. However, that does sidestep the facts that, had we been born into such a situation, we wouldn't have [I]been[/I] who we … | |
Re: [quote=Nichito;401342]i'm always joking... :P[/quote] Seriously? | |
Re: Assuming he didn't have some form of glass platform under there (water would have probably obscured it from the camera, but I did see someone diving through his path, partially above water, which kind of works against this idea), then I'm at a loss as to how he did this. | |
Re: Depends. Are you specifying that each of the seven is involved in [I]all[/I] of the other things, or merely that each of them has been involved in [I]one or more[/I] of the other things? | |
Re: [quote=lasher511;402475]I don't understand why the bussiness has to pay the money for royalties on songs performed by hired musicians.[/quote] Because otherwise the music industry legalisms team would have to find honest jobs. [quote=lasher511;402475] Seems to me that music companies are at the point where they can't go after people downloading … | |
