I baptized catholic at a child, and brought up as a catholic, but I found as I got older that Catholism was far too polticalized. So I changed to the United Church, which I found to suit my religous views and intperations of the bible better. I admit though I am not the strongest of believers, and my agruements for the extisence god are rather weak. When it comes down to it though proving the existence or non-existence of a creator, event, holy bodies, planes of existences and so forth is nearly impossible.

I think James Bond for N64 was an awesome game but once it crossed over to the playstation it slowly got crappy. I think the went to far away from the multiplayer mode, which was possible the best part of James Bond for the N64 . I am hoping that someday they will create a bond equal to the old n64 game.

I tend to prefer laptops, they really do provide a much more convenient set of features, most importantly mobility. If you're worried about the heat put of by your laptop, I have seen recently heat plates with built-in fans to keep it cool. On the downside of laptops, they are even sometimes too big, I find that when riding the subways it nearly impossible to whip the old laptop out. Altough given that this is Tokyo and the ability to move a centimeter or two is sometimes impossible. I found that myself more often then not using my plam pilot must of time, as I can use it even when standing up.

Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy III(Usa). I think final fantasy was the best final fantasy becuase of the story line and game play. The side quest were extremely fun to play, which for great reply value. Final Fantasy III has it's merit though as it pushed what the snes could do to it's very max. It's storyline is a very close second to that of Final Fantasy III.Final Fantasy + Dragon Quest is an extremely fun, as it brings two very good games together.

Where is survival of the fittest or true capitalism reflected in any societies behaviours? Is it survival of fittest for governments to engage in protectionist trade policies? When a country raises a trade tariff or subsidies a company(through cash grants or tax breaks or laws) it is acting directly against the theory of survival of the fittest. I highly doubt that there will be any "Capitalist" country that isn't engaging in some sort of protectionism. Wouldn't you also say a large majority of people in any given country, have strong feelings of national pride and therefore convey some feelings of nationalism as part of thier human nature? Perhaps also these feelings of nationalism would influence peoples choices on the products they purchase. You should only buy X countries products if you are a true x-ian is a very common idea. This form of purchasing goes against survival of fittest, as a person would choice his countries products, instead of the products made in the more fit company.Capitalism as with Communism fail becuase they both go against basic human wants. Communism fails becuase it doesn't deal peoples want for power(Greed, Corruption). Capitalism fails becuase it doesn't deal with peoples want for belonging (Nationalism and Protectionism). Instead I think a system needs to be made that directly rewards people for thier economic contributions, as their contributions pretain to the betterment of the social good. Thus the less you work the less worth you have but also those who soley make money and no social benefit would also be have less worth. I think the elimanation of family inhertence would be a great start to changing things, as any money passed down doesn't accurately show the receivers social worth.

>>>capital cost is 100 times more then that of well established countries.This may be true if the poorer country had to produce it's machinery from the basics. In most cases though I would imagine that a company would purchase it's equipment from it's own country or another country and ship it to the poorer country. So the cost of Machinery would only be higher by the amount of transportation costs to ship the Machinery. A good example of this is automobile and computer manufactoring. In the case of a automobile, Mamelodi, South Africa would be a good example of this.As for >>>Rich countres can easily ruined poor countries.. and thee countries will bcome parasites...Rich countries are already doing this to the poorer countries and because there is a lack of international organizations to deal with this. Many of thier stories go unheard and the poorer countries are without a voice. In WTO aleast they would be able to call a tribunal and bring some attention to their stories.Which brings up the biggest of WTO's flaws, even if a tribunal finds in favour of a poor country. Rich countries have the ablility to disregard WTO's ruling if they feel the Judgement is unfair, whereas; the cost to a poorer country for disobeying a WTO ruling could have serious economic effects on the country. An example of a country disgarding a WTO ruling is the USA in USA vs Canada: Canadian Softwood Subsidies. So unless the WTO can find a way to insure one of it's ruling is followed, there is no real point of WTO, as in this manor it could be used as an economic weapon against poorer countries.

I disagree, I think it would have the oppisite effect. The economic gaints would the ones disadvantaged by the WTO. Given that both the costs of labor and the costs of capital assets(Land and buildings) are much lower in poorer economies. It would be in the best interest of a company to move there production facilities to the poorer economies, costing the richer economies many lower paying jobs. At frist they might have to pay high costs for middle-management to be brought to the poorer economy. Eventually though the companies would train local people for middle-management positions, rising up the salaries and education of local people. Costing the richer economies middle-management and technology jobs. Eventually the richer economies and poorer economies would come to some sort of parity where their costs would be equal. Of course in the end those who own the companies would have become extremely rich. Two economies that are good examples of this are China and India.

I found a plug-in for adobe photoshop that works really good for making icons http://www.telegraphics.com.au/sw/

How do you define what is wrong and what is right? Do you follow the bible, believe in moral relativism, agree with Kant, or something else?

I wondering what the average monitor sizes is? Also does anyone know how to code your html, so that it causes a website to grow or shrink to fit into the screen? Thanks ------------------------- This isn't a tutorial acticle at all - and on top of that posted in: Free Web Hosting > Computers & Tech > How-To's and Tutorials > Programming > HTML, XML and other Markup Languages ??? May I know how these two are related ?? Anyways, moved to Hardware section.. m^e

I use dreamweaver and find it very useful, especial when it colour codes your php code. Which makes it much easy to find simple mistakes in your php code.

How do you create the small icon that goes at the beggining of the web address bar?

Funniest signs I have seen was:In a hotel in Sapporo; A sign said "Please take advantage of our maids"In a hair salon in Vancouver: Celebrate Canada Day, have your beaver shaved for free.

I enjoy playing hockey, drinking.... alot of drinking, it helps me keep sane. I also like snowboarding, I try to go aleast 4 or 5 times a month. Other than that I work online, so a good majority of my time is spent staring in front of my computer.

I hope that Xisto.com is really good, I used a few other services but they were down more than it was up. So my advice for free services is be careful about downtime, it can get really annoying.

I don't do much coding in MySql yet but I find it's easier to follow your own logic if you use console. Phpadmin seems ok also.

I think the focus of economic reform needs not to focused so tight on goods trade and more focused on monterrey exchange/trade policies. What needs to be fixed is the wealth redistrubition system and also environmental costs. An instance of where wealth redistrubition needs to be fixed is corporate tax breaks and subsidies. Tax breaks and subsidies work against both free trade and fair trade, as they seek to give a monterrey advantage to a company over another company. Thus creating a unfair sitituation in the market place and also aiding market efficiencies as the subsidied company is not producing its goods in an efficient fashion, shown by it's need for the subsidy.

After the user log in, is it better to use a cookie or opening a session, to keep checking to see if the user is logged in or not? Could you please explain why? Thanks

I also hate bundled software. I bought a Sony Vaio, thinking that Sony would a good solid product, like the playstation. When I first started it up, it had an unbelievable amount of third software, most of it complete junk. One of the only things I was hoping for was that the T.V. Tuner would work but the damn third party software had a glitch in it and it didn't work. Called sony and sony said it's not our problem, take it up with the third party software company or pay our technican to fix. BASTARDS

It's amazing how technology has advanced in the last few decades, I was watching some crappy 80's movie, don't remember the name, and a guy wipes one of those big 80's style cell out. He goes on about how much money he has and how he is one of the few with a cell phone. It was extremely fun. If you can remember, please write about funny or stupid pieces of technology you have seen.

I had a turbo graphix 16, I can still remember playing bonks adventure. It was really ahead of its time, it was to bad it didn't do better. Many of their games were really good.

Sigh... I remember when they all came out. I can remember playing alot warcraft and Diablo. Also I remember play wolfenstien when it frist came out. Thinking about old games makes me feel old.......

I use to play Utopia all the time, it can be an extremely addiciting at times and also earth 2025 was a really good game to. http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/
