: or ignorant of correct grammer when it comes to "prose".
Chosing to deliberately disobey a grammer rule is not always a
case of laziness or ignorance. I chose to not use the standard
American English method of quotation because it is illogical.
Consider this sentence:
Standard way: "I went home," Bob said.
More Logical way #1: "I went home", Bob said
More Logical way #2: "I went home" Bob said
More Logical way #3: "I went home." Bob said
The standard way is illogical because the comma is there as an
artifact of the process of putting the quotation into the sentence,
and NOT a part of what Bob actually said - therefore it makes no
sense to put it inside the quotation marks. If it's there at
all, it belongs outside what was actually quoted of Bob (logical
way #1). It could also be argued that it is redundant since the
quote marks already tell you where the quote ends and the pause
should go, and therefore there is no need for the comma (logical
way #2). It could also be argued that since what Bob said was
a complete sentence unto itself, that it needs a period (logical
way #3). But the standard way is completely arbitrary nonsense.
I see no problem with deliberately seeking to change the grammar
rules when they make no sense.

FUD. You can get Mandrake, install all the packages that you want, many
more, in fact than you can install on Windows, and be up and running in
less than an hour if you handle the installation yourself. As the
installer finds the hardware for you little or not configuration is
necessary.
If you buy a pre-packaged system, it would take about 10 minutes to get
connected and you wouldn't have to worry about Mom getting virii from email
attachments.

That's the lamest argument for god-based morality ever. If you start
from the premise that human judgement is imperfect and therefore bad
to base your moral system on, then *all* moral systems are equally
flawed. Even if you use a religious system you had to use your human
judgement in the first place to come to the conclusion that you should
use the religious system.

One that has nothing to do with Christianity. Which is kind of

No it isn't. It's the lack of the belief that god does exist.
To call this a belief rather than simple default skepticism is
to assume that god existing is the default, which is circular.
: Obviously, Jefferson's detractors were lying.
Yes, they were. Many Christians assume everyone who isn't one
of them is an atheist. But what Jefferson was isn't relevant
here, what matters is that he wasn't Christian.

Hi David you sound like a smart guy, however my personal opinion is that
your statments are inane.
You're trying to portray Win2K as some sort of holy grail regards ease of
use and one size fits all. The truth is experience counts as does the
particular area you are going to deploy the operating system into.
You talk about rote memory and arcane commands. If I get various MSCE etc..
course materials and ask you questions on various topics would you know all
the answers, off the top of your head?
At least the *IUX community is dynamic and vibrant in nature, with people
willing and eager to exchange information on how they do things.
My suggestion is do what WORKS for you! If Windows suits your objectives
then USE it. Windows is a fine product, but please don't come here and put
down an OS and people interested in helping others, simply because your
experience may be limited with *IUX systems and therefore your perception of
their basic operations as "obscure and obdurate"

No, Atheism is the believe that god doesn't exist. Agnosticism is the lack
of a belief in god.
Atheism is active disbelief, Agnisticism is skepticism about the belief.

Odd. I'd really like to know what I'm doing wrong then, because
busy-loops like this have always caused me trouble when I use them,
taking time away from other CPU-intensive tasks like compiling.
This has been the case for as long as I can remember on Unix, and
still plagues me today - on different systems from different vendors.
The worst culprit of it was an early port of a PC text editor into
unix, that didn't change the input method from busy-looping to
polling like it should have. When I'd run that, I'd get calls from
the sysadmin asking me to knock it off because I was slowing down
everyone else on the machine (they were trying to compile).
I'd really like to know if there is something I can do to get the
bahaviour you all seem to be getting from this.

Clue for the clueless: XFree86 will NEVER recognize USB devices....NOR
WILL
ANY OTHER APPLICATION. THAT's what the OPERATING SYSTEM is for, shit-head.
The reason why Windows is such crap is because things that are SUPPOSED

should be user-level applications....Microsoft crams into the kernal.

I: Loren Petrich's 2-week stubborn refusal to respond to the
challenge to describe even one philosophical difference

Loren Petrich is a COMMUNIST ***hole
J: Other knee_jerk reactionaries: billh, david casey, redc1c4,
The retarded sisters: Raunchy (rauni) and Anencephielle (Enielle),

A: The wise man is mocked by fools.
B: Jet Silverman plays the fool and spews out nonsense as a
method of sidetracking discussions which are headed in a
direction that she doesn't like.
C: Jet Silverman claims to have killfiled me.
D: Jet Silverman now follows me from newgroup to newsgroup
...despite (C) above.
