Ditto on the ASP.Net comment- it's amazing. This is the first site that I've ever wanted to pay for. I hope that at least the basic services remain free, but I think that most of us would be happy to pay for a premium subscription. Meanwhile, keep up the good work. JU is awesome. Dan

Her Dharma... I didn't read your leaving article until about two minutes ago, so I didn't respond.... but I'm glad that I got to read your "just kidding" article without having to wait for it. I think everybody who's been here a while has planned to leave JU at one point or another, and I'm glad that somebody intervened so you wouldn't have to leave permanently. Just think how irritating it would be for all the users here for your na

*chuckles...* What a good article! What a stunning comment count! I wish I had been here when it happened... and I also wish I had been accused of being SPM. I've been accused of nearly everything else, and, well, gee, I feel a bit left out Kudos to Phoenix for, in all likelihood, managing to set the comment record. And without using religion or politics, either.<BR

You see where this is going? In most cases, the easist way to get a lot done is to centralize. In my opinion, the reason that OS innovation has slowed is that the industry is struggling to grapple with the issue of security. Because there has been so much pressure to get OS's bug free, particularly on MS, there's not a lot of room for "oh, let's try this." But the general direction seems to be this: a centralized server. It would be run b

ight there is the bit that you are overlooking. You are saying that the bible is truly accurate. I am saying that it is possible that Jesus may have existed, was a great teacher, and was killed. The bible tells you why he was killed, and that he was the son of God. You misunderstand. His date of dea

What if there is a prophecy and you missed the signs? Should people have dismissed Mary as "crazy"?The point is that religion is blind faith. You have blind faith in something that already happened, but you can not think that maybe it could happen again, or that *more* can happen. Did God quit communicating with us after the b

Karma: I don't know how to respond to the first part in a way that would be anything but futily argumentative, so let's just let those differences rest. Moving on... 1) If a very young woman were to walk up to you today and tell you that she needs your help because she is pregnant but has never had sex, would

However, you will note that in Christianity, God takes three forms--Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Who is to say that Buddists aren't recognizing the Holy Spirit, that Judaism isn't worshipping "God." The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are not different entitie

Being removed from an organized religion, I sit back many times and think "everyone is believing in the same thing, they just have different names for it". I know that Christians believe that you have to take Jesus as your savior to be "saved" and go to heaven, but people believed in "God" before Jesus walked the Earth. So, who i

It symbolizes, of course, God's gift of Divine Forgiveness through the gift of his Son. Strictly speaking, it actually represents the gifts of the wise men(remember, Christmas symbolizes Jesus' birth, not his life in general), but on your other points, I agree. Dan

We celebrate Christmas we all these traditions because we've grown somewhat fond of them. Trees and white Christmi (plural of Christmas... lol) may be Pagan in origin, and although I personally could do with Christmas trees (they're more trouble than they're worth, in my opinion), I know many people hold both as dear as I hold the latter. Christmas, if I may be so bold as to suggest, is no longer a Christian Holiday, but a Commercialist holid

Good grief... it's like any other joke. If you think it's funny, LAUGH. If you don't think so, GET OVER IT. Leaping Lizard, I've agreed with most of the things you've said on this thread, and I've been a bit ashamed of the behavior of the Right-leaning fellows on this blog, including JU's signature left, our own dear Draginol. Imagine, insulting the intelligence of an entire group based only on whether they're liberal or conservative. That's nothi

As everybody who knows me knows, I'm a stauch conservative republican... that said, I thought that was frickin awesome. Heck, I'd buy more clothes from them if they were around here. It's always refreshing to see that not everybody considers politics a thing only fit for arguing over. Dan
