if i'm not mistaken, sects are just parts or diviations from larger faith structures. like the janes are sect of budhism and evangelicals, may god have mercy on their misdirected and spitefilled souls, are a sect of christianity.

Its terminology has several different meanings, though the one most commonly associated with witchcraft is a group of witches what pratice thee magik together. In a sence a covenet and a sect are atleast to the onlooker the same thing. Since Pictish is a solitary worship and it's magik rituals focous on the individual to cast it is not really a religion of sects and covenats.

 

Sect has in the media view become a group that is an offshoot srom a major belief system, like the branch davidians, though you could also call them a cult. It's an interesting thing, because all religions really started out as cults and just grew in size, which is why I find it funny when the Catholic Church condems cults and other minor religious groups as being radical or evil, I mean, they forget there roots and are very elitest about there place in the world of religions.

Does being pictish explain the tatto/ink in your username and forums? Do you use that millenia old art as inspiration, perhaps? 

And I guess if it's solitary then you don't have to worry if you're practicing 2000 year old ideas correctly...

In a way yes, but I've always been interested in body modification. Its just a way to feel one with yourself and nature, though it is sometimes hard to pratice in a city like Boston, it is really the ideas and the healing, spiritual and physical, that are always applicable.

Ghost in the Shell is a two part anime movie and television series revolving around a future where a human barin can be put into an prostecic frame and continue to live like a normal human with out being easilly reconized.

Guilty Gear! Probally the best there is out there. I like the game play, it's easy to pick up on, and the characters are the coolest. I mean, in GG:X you can play as a guy with a paperbag on his head! It is just an amazing series and I definatly recomend that you try it out.

Amazing game, need a good computer to play though, each person, even civilians, have there own skin and frame! I thought this game deserved much better than a 2 out of 5 it was more like a 3 or a 3.5 of 5. The story is amazing, great Idea, bonus for being so unique. If you get good at the game there is plenty of time to watch the more important stuff, you just cue when nessicary, don't constantly be active ore you'll arouse more suspission. As you gain support you are able to attack your enimies both politically and physically. Its like the sims but good. I definatly recomend it.

Anyone else familiuar with Ghost in the Shell? But seriously, this is amazing, and a little scarry at the same time, were one step closes to becoming cybernetic beings. What about the principle that a machine will last longer than a human body? If theye were able to keep the brain alive wouldn't that make extending life to 200 or more years plasable? We have to also look at how the technology could be abused. It's a great idea, though has its complications.

Come on hegehog! I wouldn't mind waiting a few months for the newest version.

Just a good old athiest/pict, I don't believe that there is a god, though I believe in the ancient Scottish beliefs of the Pictish, that everthing in nature has a spirit. There was a creation, but not of much religious significanse, there are two dieties if that's what you would refer to them as. They are somewhat the mother and father, It is an interesting religion, praticed for the self. Though since it is mainly about witchcraft, most people would not even consider it to be a religion, more of a sect or covenet, though that is also incorect, it is a solitary pratice, so it is really none of the above.

It's good, but the trial I got from Linux User and Developer (UK) was messed up so my kernal had an error with the IO-APIC and the timer. So it was really slow, the official distro isn't supposed to have any issues, plus there is one for the AMD64 architecure! (that might be what my problem was, i used the reg.)

P2P is not any worse than the introduction of the home VCR recorder, it will do nothing to hurt the industry. But I use torrent spy right now, it'[s ok but not as good as SN or LT.

Here's the exact message that I get.Kernal panic: IO-APIC + timer doesn't work! Try using the 'noapic' kernal parameterAny idea what this means or how to fix it?

That is a great Idea, I would love an art forum to show someof my pieces! It's a great way for people to get feed back and it's a great way to exchange ideas!

Just Requested 10 of each disk to pass around, from what I've seen it's great, unfortunatly the copy I already have is a litte messed up, something about my timer and it runs slow, I figure it was probally the an error when I installed, but not sure.

180 and it's more than enough for me!

I just got the latest distro of Ubuntu linux, and it looks amazing, but I have a major problem. When I boot I get an error talking about my timer not functioning, so I have to boot in recovery mode to make it work. Once in recovery mode everything is painfuly slow and I'm wondering what I can do to repair this. I also am having trouble connecting to the net, I use a college LAN connection and can't quite figure out how to configure it. I haven't used Linux for a few years now so the simplest of terms would be appreciated. Thanks for the help guys!

Where did you collect them from? How old (if you don't mind answering) are you? How long have you been collecting?Me, Used vinyl shops and my newer stuff comes from the original Newbury Comics. I'm only 18 and have been collecting for almost 10 months now, so lets say 1 year. I would have a much larger collection, but my parents lost there 200 album collection about 6 years ao when our basement flooded I'f only I had had an intrest in them back thev, but I was only 12 and thought CDs and Pokemon was all there was to life But they had some amazing albums, Beatles, Queen, Blondie, Cream, Yes, and Heart just to name a few.

Need For Speed

3 more for the list:

Minor Threat - self titled - 12" origionally released as (2) 7" ep's

A Clockwork Orange - soundtrack - 12" 1st pressing

XS - Forever Never Came - 12" 52 of 1500 copies

That game sounds amazing, i am finally sold on it and woult totally play it.

Love the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, and I will admit, I finally broke down and bought an mp3 player, nothing much just a RCA that holds 8 hours of musig, about 240 meg. The quatity is on par with cd's not much difference, maby if I had good headphones I could tell the difference, i's just nice to have for when I'm out skating through Boston, because a cd player tends to skip or die too fast. I still will only play vinyl on my home sterio, but MP3's are nice for on the go, so I guess both have their own place in my life.As a side note, my collection is up to 63 vinyls and my goal is 150 by the end of summer and over 600 by graduation in 2008!

Wow, thats crazy, My gol is 150 by the end of summer and over 500 by the time I graduate in 2008!

Thanks, I'll look them up on the web and work on them this weekednd!

MapleStory looks really cool, I'm going to give it a try! Thanks for informing me about it.

Close it already! How many more have to die for this pointless war? How many children left orphaned? How many computers left userless? It's madness, madness I say. Can't we all just live together in cyber harmony?
