According to American politicians, it's not. According to the American government, however, it is. (Well, not legally, but you know what I mean.) I seriously hope that the situation in America does not leak into Canada. It's starting to become more of a good thing for us to connect only through economy and trade, and even then it's through impartial proxies. You know, that for Canadians to come into America, they need to show a passport, driver's license, or birth certificate, but for Americans coming into Canada, they don't actually need anything? It's weird.

I'm... not really supportive of human cloning, no matter how supportive I am of animal cloning, but I don't oppose it either. If the experiments are unsuccessful and someone dies, it's not really anyone's fault but the person who volunteered, because they volunteered. Experiments being unsuccessful are going to be one thing, but if the subjects were properly warned before the experiment (if they weren't I'd be picketing to shut down that facility) then they should have no reasonable warranty of their life. I don't think many people would volunteer for these things anyway. But animal cloning is to, well, animals. Sure, quote animal rights activists all you want, but we already kill animals for meat, on purpose. It's what we do. Killing off a few by accident as a result of a few failed experiments that wouldn't cause them that much pain anyway doesn't really trump that... I mean, be vegan all you want. It won't change the general opinion. (Well, if enough people do it, then it might...)

Heh... seems you haven't heard of Firefox. (And no, IE8 is too much like IE7.) Try Firefox out. No one has given you a download link, but if you seriously don't want to go to Google and press "I'm Feeling Lucky", which should work, then here it is: [link]

So, I recently got the newest release of Kubuntu, with the new KDE 4. What I wasn't expecting was that I'd switch back to using Vista right away.The new KDE 4 is all looks. It doesn't have near the amount of customizability as KDE 3, and the taskbar is way too wide for just one layer. (I can't switch it back to 2 layers.)All right: First, the customizability. Although all the window options are still present, the panel is almost completely automatic, which is okay, but what I don't like is it has no manual mode. You can't even move anything around. I hope this is fixed in 4.01... right now I'm going to stick with 3.Have any of you tried KDE 4? What do you think of it?

That happens to me too! Although it actually can be explained non-spiritually. When something happens to you in your sleeping state in the real world, it comes into your dream. And as well, your sensations are controlled by your brain as well. So when you dream that you get shot, your brain gives a sort of Pavlovian reaction (a reaction before the actual thing happens) and you "hurt" where on the body it hit you.

High school may be pointless for you, but for some people, it's to relax for about 2 years after all that gruelling training you do from grades 1 to 8. I mean, sure the courses are harder, but the pace is different. In Grade 12 you really can't relax, but at least by that time it's easier than Grade 8 was four years ago. I'm in high school right now as well (except that I'm in Canada, so we actually only really learn anything from Grade 9 on, so it's pretty much essential for us,)

This is why I don't watch TV. lol But in all seriousness, TV is one of the most useful advertising objects. I mean, pretty much 80% of North Americans own at least one, and about 50% own two. It's starting to turn into something like Animal Farm. (I have no idea why I keep on referring to those two books by Orwell!)

Well, although your idea is sound, it's still not feasible. It's human nature to think that worldly things are good. It's kind of like the permanent boot-up ROM that a computer has. You could theoretically remove the parts, but they can still be abused.

The 10:10 thing is more specifically between 10:10:20 and 10:10:40. I guess it's just to spread the three hands out. As well, 10:10 is more aesthetically appealing than other positions, especially since it's pointing diagonally upward. Airplanes can't fly backwards simply because their engines don't go that way. I don't see how small airplanes can do that, but anyway...

PAL movies will got at 29.97 (yes, 30 x .999, which means that in 1000 seconds it will have gone the same as 999 seconds at 24 FPS) frames per second, while NTSC movies will go at 23.976 frames per second.Some formats will let you go at exactly 24 or exactly 30 FPS.The paper is very well written, anyway. A good TV will display at 60 Hz, and a good 1024x768 display screen will display at 75 Hz. (Mine is also 60 Hz only because it's a 1050i 8:5 monitor.)

Of course there's no use trying. But if there's no harm, why not go a little further, eh? Most people, if they don't want your specific flash file, will move on. If they're that determined, then get an IP logger or something. Stealing for learning is considered fair use. And as long as you don't use it for anything else and use proper accreditation, what can they do to you? If you take credit for it, that's not stealing either, except for the actual act of ripping it off the website. It's called "copyright infringement"...

There's no guarantee that Final Fantasy is the best RPG game. It could be Megaman Battle Network, for all you know.

Firefox was not thought up by an 18-year-old! Well, maybe it was, in its really early days as Netscape Navigator. Remember when Netscape used to have the biggest market share? Then Microsoft started including IE free with its Windows OS, so people started moving to that. Netscape started losing its market share, and it got as desperate as to release its source code and rechristen itself Mozilla. (You can still see that in Mozilla and Seamonkey today. They both still use the original Netscape icons.) Here's where the 18-year-old part might be true: Mozilla then branched off into Firefox and Thunderbird, which were web browsers and email clients. Seamonkey [Could be Iceape, but that's GNUzilla to you] was only released to continue the Mozilla series, but it doesn't get as much press.

I believe it's past 600,000,000 downloads by now... this topic is three years old!

Well, finally someone who agrees with me. I'll say it again. Legalize marijuana except for smoking it (or only illegalize it until you're 21). If it takes the fun out of it, then that's good; people won't be compelled to do illegal activities anymore.

No religion is bad. A religion is basically a set of beliefs that makes up the entirety of, or a significant part of, a person's lifestyle, and usually involves some spiritual connection. However, in the broadest sense of the term, no spiritual connection is really required.A religion is based on belief, not by rules. The rules are just something that accompany the belief, and are not to be strictly implemented, except for those that are essential to the faith. For example, in Christianity, you have the rules about being kind to each other, but God doesn't hold you to every little thing that he wouldn't hold you to anyway if you weren't a Christian, and he (huh... I still don't use He) forgives you.

That...seems much like a 1984-ish setting. I don't know why I keep on relating it to that...

Well, if you feel that way, then get Norton Ghost. It creates an image of your entire hard drive. The one that Windows uses is only a "DNA migrator"/"system backup", which backs up all your system settings and protected system files. Don't rely on System Restore for documents, because that's not what it's used for. And please don't complain, "well, Windows is stupid for not making one like that". Microsoft can't do everything for your computer, even though it really wants to so it can mess with your computer and your mind.

Democracy is not a perfect system. Not by any chance.But then again, it's the best one we have now. Look at how tyranny, communism, and, well, whatever other form of non-tribal government you choose to assume came out.A system nearer to perfection would be democratic communism, or in other words, socialism. In this system, decisions must reach consensus before passing through. Although absolute consensus is not always possible, here's a referendum system I'd like to see in place:If a 90% consensus cannot be reached for any certain bill, pass it as a referendum onto the people. If enough people okay the bill for it to reach 90%, then the bill can be passed. How this is counted:The percentage of people who consent to the bill in the government house is divided by 2, and then the referendum is passed out. The percentage of people supporting the referendum is then multiplied by (one minus the percentage of people supporting it in the house) and added onto this percentage score. If the percentage is then above 90, then the bill can be passed.So, for example, if 86% of house members support the bill, then this number is divided by 2 to get 43. To reach 90%, 47 out of 57 people (or about 82.5%) must vote yes to the bill.This way, if there isn't a majority in the house, and the majority of people want it, then the bill can be passed.

Forget just reading, how about moving tables? I've moved a Ping-pong table in a lucid dream before.But yes, I remember reading signs and things when I was dreaming. I also remember visualizing a dragon in living colour.

You know, one point some people haven't pointed out is that, if marijuana use was legalized, there'd actually be less usage of the drug. I'm not saying that these druggies will move on to harder drugs, but some people actually do mari- just because it's illegal. Just like if "piracy" was loosened, there'd be less "real" piracy around because people would support the artists directly if they like them. Of course, there's always the problem of smoking it, so I'm going to point this out: smoking marijuana should be illegal. As long as it's not smoked, I'm perfectly okay with it. Just like if people chew tobacco, they can do it all they want, even in public places, and I won't care; they just have to be over 19 to be able to buy it. But then again, this is no reason not to legalize marijuana. Just because smoking it is bad, doesn't mean ingesting it in other forms is as bad. If someone is going to get hard on marijuana, they're an idiot, but that's their choice. Just because 14,000 people die in car accidents each year doesn't mean driving should be illegal. It's only drunk driving that should be illegal. Same goes with tobacco and marijuana. Like I said, as long as it's not smoked, let it be legal!

1. Don't you think God would have given Jesus (Joshua, or Yeshua in Hebrew) a legitimate claim? Even if he was descended from Joseph, I'm pretty sure that the Throne of Jerusalem was nonexistent at the time. 2. Why would Caesar make up the Immaculate Conception? If anything, if it makes Jesus the Son of God, that only elevates his status even higher up compared to Caesar. So what motive did he have? 3. Isn't this a reference to "The Lost Tomb of Jesus", which made that claim that Jesus married the Magdalene? Anyway, how do you know that Joseph wasn't of Benjamite descent as well as Judaist? How do you know if one of the wives in those 30 generations wasn't a Benjamite? Then Jesus would have no motive to marry a Benjamite woman, or marry at all. 4. [no comment] 5. Did he now? Where in the Bible does it say that he complained? (Maybe I'm missing something...) 6. Well, how did you know that the Magdalene (I'm not saying Mary for either the virgin or the Magdalene because I might mix them up) did that of her own will? And is the King of Jerusalem the only person whose feet can be "anointed" with oils? Seems kinda fishy... 7. Didn't the letters and gospels come from more than seven authors? (Let me count... Matthew, Mark, Luke, John wrote the gospels... I know Paul and Peter wrote a lot of stuff... John wrote Revelation, so that doesn't count... but I'm pretty sure there's nore than 7 authors.) 8. Huh... you seem to be supporting Christianity? Are you sure someone else didn't create the Roman Catholic Church? 9. So Caesar wanted to be pronounced the prophet of God? I didn't know he was religious... 10. Well, if he only performed symbolic miracles, then what was the point? Unless the miracles were genuine, then they would be interpreted as tricks. The people back then weren't stupid, you know. They would most probably discredit Jesus if he was prone to playing those tricks, and they wouldn't be welcoming him into every city that he was arriving in. 11. Are you sure Joseph went to Britain? They were Catholic for an awfully long time too, you know... 12. I thought the Crusades were to claim Jerusalem for the Catholics against the Muslims. Anyway, all your evidence (notice I'm not putting it into quotes, unlike some people...) comes from the book. Don't you have any other sources? 13. Are the Freemasons still alive today? (And the "Rosicrucians", for that matter...) 14. [no comment] Not all your stuff is pure bull, but some people will think it is.

...and that's why I turned UAC off. Sure, I might be more susceptible to viruses, and Microsoft nagged me about it a few times, but that was it. There weren't even any viruses on the programs that I was registering. Linux does really have the balance right. You only need to type the password once when you're going to install a whole bunch of programs on Adept or apt-get. And most of the time, you'd install those programs using the terminal anyway, so the graphical box isn't a problem.

Oh man, am I a hypocrite. I need to start up again... I got to about Exodus 6 before nodding off on the Bible-reading.I still ahve yet to post stuff on my blog. My original plan was to post something every week, or every chapter, whichever came first. I haven't been doing that lately, though...

Damn it, it has to be the white man again.If both parties picked someone who wasn't a white man, we'd have historical firsts either way.Why can't we, like, have something different for once? It's always white men... I don't see why it still has to be that way. (I mean, I know Canada's prime minister has always been a white man, but Canada has problems too.)Obama has my vote, if not Clinton.
