That's my point. God's instructions did not contradict this verse,
though shalt not murder (kill), because God gets to decide who is human,
and anybody the Isrealites want to kill were simply excluded from the
definition.
The "quibble", as it were, is your misconception that this single
statement is the entirety of the argument for taking an anti-war
position. It was merely the refutation of a single point of your
pro-war position. Deal with it.

Well, if you care look in billh's post for any trace of an argument
other than "You are immature", I'd love to see it.
Or in the previous post to which I replied, the argument seemed to be
"I am an army" and "you are a twit", hardly matters worth debating.
Perhaps something is disturbing you so much that you imagine I was
replying to a semi-rational post. I was not, and I replied in the

The Communist party was the ONLY party allowed on the ballot,
thus, you could either vote for the party-appointed candidate,
or not. Either way, since there was only one person running
for that seat in the Politburo, the exact composition was
known before the election.

Personally, I think we need to bring back something *similar* to
the debtor's prison. For those who aren't carrying their fair
share of the load....we'll provide housing, and work, in a state
facility. Those who want to leave...can save their earnings(*) (i.e.
prove that they have finally gained the proper skills to up
hold free-world responsibilities of a fully-emancipated citizen),
those who don't....send them to real prison...where they will
STILL be required to work, but all freedoms are sacrificed.
(*)Have credit counselors, etc. as part of the staff for those
who truly want to clean up their act.
This is fundamentally different from the original debtor's prison
in which it was impossible to get out (how do you earn money in
prison?)

Perhaps we should concentrate in technical aspects of a GNU/Linux
system as well as the ethical aspects of free software.
In any case, however, I still think that the fact that someone stole
Gates' credit card number and used it to make Gates' wife happier does
not fit in this newsgroup.
Then again, I posted this morning when I was still a little, say,
sleepy so don't take it too seriously :-)

Bullshit. The "IF" which is a reality of life is IF it is monopoly
crapware, installed on good hardware with good drivers. Get a grip and
learn to read.

See what I mean? Why is it that idiots have such trouble setting up NT?
Is Microsoft unaware of this frequent, even universal problem? Why have
they not improved the product to make it less likely that the system
will fail, even on good hardware? Are they simply incompetent? Is NT
really just a bunch of crappy code and excuses enough to blame every
failure on somebody else? Get a grip and learn to think.

What if *most* programmers cannot seem to read the supposedly well
document bug reports listing all of the known (but maintained, after
all, wouldn't want to make MS change the product; that would violate
copyright, wouldn't it?) bugs on the monopoly crapware platform?

Guffaw. Spoken like a real putz, considering you're naive enough to have
selected NT. You've blind idealism enough for both of us, it seems.

Is isn't perfect? Linux is isn't perfect. Windows is monopoly
crapware. Get a grip, then get an argument, then get back to me, if you
think you can handle it. Talk to Erik; he had some interesting hardware
troubleshooting bits, until he killfiled me for pissing all over them
with the Real World truth.
Look, I'm *SORRY* that you're not bright enough to figure this out for
yourself. Please don't get insulted, just listen to me for a moment.
I know what you're saying; you're just saying what I already said. That
determining which fails in any instance, hardware or software, is a
herculean task, and ultimately nothing but an arbitrary exercise in
finger-pointing. But for that *all* of the circumstance was different,
we could be perfectly sure the problem would not have happened. But
there comes a time, after years and years, when it requires a rather
serious effort to purposefully remain stupid, as the statistics mount in
terms of the systems and platforms. And to fail to notice that
"improper setup" (were you there to know that this is so, or are you
retracting history?) and "bad hardware" (have you gotten in down to the
broken chip, or would that hardware actually function perfectly fine in
another system, possibly even with a simple driver change, and why are
the drivers so frequently problematic to begin with?) are really just
handy boxes to throw "the platform fails routinely and often, but since
it is proprietary we are unable to troubleshoot the failures fully, so
we will merely do some arm-waving because we won't get good prices next
year if we point out how crappy Windows is;" that takes nothing but
cluelessness. A cluelessness which, unfortunately, sometimes will not
be easily undone, even after years of watching Windows fail repeatedly.
This is statistics, the real world, not your pro-MS fantasy planet where
there are no anti-trust laws.
