HomeWorld is by far one of the best games I’ve played. The developers poured themselves into it. I finished HW2 a few weeks ago. Not as excellent as HW1, but good. EVE Online fascinates me but I avoid it for the reasons you put forward.
ps – thanks for your thoughts on the Church&Politics article. I agree with your thoughts.
This is one of those issues where people often don’t use their word carefully enough.
Do i support “separation of church & state” (i.e. that the state should not interfere in religious matters nor establish an official church)” Absolutely!
Do i support “separation of church & state” (i.e. that no religious ideas should be allowed outside the church)? no.
The important question IMHO is not “is what is being preached political”? but “is what is being preached directly from the Bible?” That homosexuality or abortion is wrong, is taught in the bible, and should therefore be preached. A particular legislative strategy for dealing with these things (for the new testament era) cannot be found in the Bible, and therefore should not be preached.
What interests me is that no where in the epistles nor in early church history do you see the church recommending ways to change the Roman Empire to make it more amenable to Christianity. The early church had no interest in politcal reform, only in spreading the message of the Gospel.
You don’t see Paul condemning the brutality of the Coliseum, nor are there any writings condemning Nero for his torture and murder of the early Christians.
jwbjerk: It seems like you support sort of a lopsided separation of church and state. In other words, the state shouldn’t interfere with the church, but the church can do whatever it wants to with the state.
I agree with your second point, that we should preach against issues that the Bible condemns, but what I’m talking about is the sort of activism that I see every four years or so (i.e. “candidate information” cards that are thinly veiled ways of telling people in the congregation who to vote for) as well as the blanket condemnation of “liberals” and “activist judges” that I hear on a regular basis.
To me, such things dilute the messages that God actually wants distributed according to the Bible.
Barbara H: While I am aware that the words “separation of church and state” do not appear in the Constitution, the principle is still there. The famous quote from Jefferson’s letter reads:
Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between man and his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legislative powers of government reach actions only, and not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should “make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,” thus building a wall of separation between church and State.
In other words, the principle is that the church and state are to be separate entities: The state can’t tell you what church to join, and the church can’t tell you which candidate to vote for.
Not really. I found Ubuntu to be a lot more hassle than it was worth. Once I found Cygwin, which lets me do most of the things I liked about Linux under Windows, Linux started looking a lot less appealing to me.
My main problem with Linux is that it takes a long time to fix any given problem. For example, I was trying to get my Sony Clie to sync with Ubuntu, and after hours of altering config files that I didn’t really understand, I was no closer to my goal than I was before. Apparently there’s a bug someplace or another in the new version of the Linux kernel or something.
I like windows. I’m familiar with it, and I’ve learned how to make it look and feel exactly the way I want to.
And, of course, all of the software I like–especially games–is written for Windows. Since I know how to defend myself from spyware and viruses, I really don’t have any motivation to switch.
I think none of the governments in Bible days were democracies, so citizens did not have the opportunities for a voice in government as we have today. If we have it, I think it is perfectly fine to use it. Some would even say we have a responsibility to use it.
I don’t see a pastor recommending a candidate or asking his congregation to write to their legislators, etc., as crossing any lines. “The Church” doesn’t have the authority as, say, the Roman Catholic church in the Middle Ages. People view what their pastor’s say there as recommendations, not commandments.
I don’t think jwbjerk’s two statements were lopsided at all. The First Amendment simply says (about religion), “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” That’s pretty plain and simple, and not at all as far-reaching as some people think. The State does, of course, have a right to make sure churches keep within the law when it comes to zoning, fire code regulations, etc., but not in things that pertain specifically to the exercise of religion.
But the second statement, “Do i support “separation of church & state” (i.e. that no religious ideas should be allowed outside the church)? no.” doesn’t imply that “the church can do whatever it wants to with the state.” That is taking that statement way too far. Again, “The Church” doesn’t act as a unified governmental influence or authority — it is a group of individuals who have a right to do what they can to stand for righteousness. And there is nothing in any of the founding father’s writings that I have read that indicate all religious ideas should be contained within the church walls. Their writings, which are full of refernces to God, would argue against that.
However, I do agree that Christian groups who advocate “taking back the culture” and such like are off track. We’re never called to do that in Scripture (besides, if we did what we ARE called to do in Scripture in the way of witnessing to people, that would influence the culture more than affecting legislation). But I think that is a different thing than using the voice we have in this type of government.
I haven’t worked out exactly how far i believe the church should be involved with the state. The question is trickier now that we have a wider range of religions represented. I certainly don’t like it when christians buy into politics too much, where all sane judgement is abandoned and a canidate is presented as either perfectly good or utterly evil.
It does seem that you’ve bought into a modern misconception about the first ammendemnt. The entire and only purpose of the Bill of Rights was to limit the power of government.
From the Preamble to the Bill or Rights: “the States, having at the time of their adopting the Constitution… in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers, that further declaratory and restrictive clauses should be added…”
From the first ammendment: “Freedom of speech, press, religion, peaceable assembly, and to petition the government.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;”
There is nothing in the text about a “limitation of Religion” It’s all about what Congress can’t do. You may believe that the church should be similarly limited, but that idea is not found in the Constitution.
It’s true we don’t have many examples of political involvment in the NT, On the other hand, we don’t have any prohibitions against governmental involvement. The historical fact is, there were very few opportunites for political involvment at all through most of church history.
You don’t find Paul specificly condemning the Coliseum, but then again you don’t find him addressing non-Christians. It’s clear from his epistles that most of what went on there was wrong (i.e. murder). I can’t imagine a Christian government official of the time with the power to do something about the Coliseums, doing nothing, because he was more concerned with spiritual things.
NOTE: The phrase “Separation of church and state” is not found in ANY of the founding documents. The US constitution says what the US constitution means. “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.”
I see what you’re saying about the Constitution not restricting religion, which is a good point. I imagine there are restrictions in legislative/judicial law, but it’s certainly not in the Constitution.
So, laying aside whether or not campaigning from the pulpit is legal or not, let me ask: is it ethical? Two issues immediately spring to mind. The first is the one I mentioned earlier: campaigning from the pulpit distracts and even detracts from the Gospel, with potentially eternal consequences.
The second issue is whether or not anyone should be telling anyone else how to vote. If a pastor tells his flock “You should vote for ____,” there may well be people who want to vote for another candidate but then feel a religious obligation to do as their pastor says. The pastor speaks from a position of some power over his flock (although the amount of that power varies from church to church; at my church), and he needs to be careful with it.
(Note that I’m not saying that opposition of a given issue on religious grounds is unethical. I’m against pushing a particular candidate, party, or political ideology from the pulpit, whether conservative or liberal.)
However, I wouldn’t use FTP to do any transfers to/from my server, it’s too easy for people to sniff your password (the traffic isn’t encrypted in any way).
Really… Wow. I didn’t realize that. A bit disturbing, that.
Dumb security question: How would an unscrupulous individual see my password anyways? I know that someone on my network could do it, but could anyone on the internet examine that traffic?
Huh? What does drag-and-drop have to do with a Send-This-Image-To-My-Server item in the context menu when I right-click on an image? (You know about right click menus, right? )
Well, I know it can be done, I just don’t know how
If your web host offers it (any good webhost _should_, if they don’t get a new web host) I would use SFTP (Secure FTP). It’s like FTP over an SSL connection. Anyway, there are several SFTP clients available that work just like a regular FTP client. I recommend WinSCP (a good open-source client for Window$).
As for Beninate’s comment about Mac OS, I have no idea what he’s talking about
Just a brief nitpick- I haven’t bothered to change the sound on my Mac (though I did on my old iBook with no problems, so it’s probably still possible), but if your system volume is muted, the startup sound won’t play, either. I usually keep the sound muted on my laptop and never have to listen to the startup chime.
I don’t know of a plugin quite like that, but I just started using a web browser that makes blogging and sharing pictures easier. It’s called Flock and if you have a photo sharing account with Flickr or Photobucket (or both) it makes blogging and uploading your photos really easy! It’s built on the same code as Firefox, so a lot of the same plugins are available for it.
I’m also a bit confused by Beninate’s comment. I use a Mac but as far as I know the ease/difficulty of doing these tasks depends more on your web browser and what kind of photo sharing and blogging accounts you have.
I haven’t totally transitioned over to Flock because for some reason it keeps randomly signing me out of my gmail. I couldn’t figure it out. But I like to used Flock when I’m planning to do a lot of blogging or photo sharing. Do you know if there’s a way to make the Flickr photo topbar (or whatever it’s called) come up automatically when you launch Flock? I’ve been launching Flock and then immediately clicking to make it show the photos, which is two clicks more than I would prefer.
Hmm. I’ve never had it log me out of gmail before. I know Gmail’s login only lasts two weeks, but it sounds like you’re being logged out more often than that.
::shrug::
I’m not sure how to keep a topbar open after closing a window. You might try asking around the Flock forums though.
But I did discover another neat topbar you can add to Flock: It’s the Technorati Topbar! You can use it to see what other bloggers are saying about the page you’re looking at. It’s pretty nifty.
My first thought was, “Pick two cards.” Sure enough, neither of them was there and this led to the answer. But, I had a bit of an edge since I was once asked a very similar question during a job interview.
In my experience (which is, admittedly, somewhat limited, but I’ve visited Taiwan, mainland China and Hong Kong), Chinese people aren’t all that reserved; they certainly don’t conform to the quiet, unassuming, even cold stereotype that they’ve acquired in the U.S. Anyone who’s stood on a street in China and been mobbed by people trying to sell them things or watched two people have what looks like a huge argument, then part laughing and slapping each others’ backs, is unlikely to call Chinese people “quiet” at all. If anything, it seemed to me that the tonal nature of the Chinese language makes Chinese people seem louder than they actually are- and in comparison to other Asian cultures, particularly the Japanese (I just got back from two years there), I found the Chinese to be extremely friendly, open and gregarious- not reserved at all.
I think the stereotype, which is often applied to Chinese-Americans, might derive from the fact that Asians in the U.S. are known for being hard workers, good students and having pretty sizeable expectations placed upon them by their families, which results in studious behavior. They also have the tendency to congregate with one another, which probably contributes to this idea, as well- Chinese people may be reserved with outsiders (though, while the Japanese certainly can be, I saw very, very little of this in China), but they’re hardly that with one another. There is a great deal of emphasis put on personal self control in Asian cultures, though, and losing one’s temper is considered a pretty big loss of face both in Japan and Korea- China may be the same, but going by the yelling matches I saw in the street when I was there, I’m not entirely sure of that.
Chinese is incredibly hard to pronounce correctly, though, and one of the toughest things about visiting mainland China was making myself understood. You more or less have to have someone in your hotel write things out for you to show cab drivers and/or carry around a phrasebook with Chinese characters wherever you go. Good times, though- I’d recommend going to anyone.
I don’t think the 9/11 anniversary coverage is meant to, or will across the board, incite terror. It’s a time of remembrance — just like people who lived through the Pearl Harbor attack or soldiers who lived through D-Day remember the time, the experiences, their fallen comrades. Our country was probably more unified than it has ever been in my lifetime right after 9/11 and I remember that with sadness that it didn’t last.
Seeing those images again does not terrify me. The increased security measures at aiports after the recent terrorist attempt on London contribute more in that direction.
Interesting. I didn’t know that about the Chinese people. You’re right, I had just assumed the Chinese were reserved based on the stereotype. I can imagine that any immigrant to a country that speaks a foreign language would generally be a lot quieter than he would be in his home country.
I’ve always thought tonal languages were interesting things to think about, but I’ve always been glad to speak a non-tonal language. It would take a lot of getting used to.
Yeah. I think that people waited almost a full day before complaining that the President hadn’t released a statement soon enough.
One thing that’s sort of interesting to think about: Pearl Harbor took place in December of 1941. Japan surrendered in August of 1945. The war on terror has lasted for more than a year longer than our involvment in WWII.
Worse, there’s no end goal. There’s no place where we can say “Now we’ve won!” What is the victory condition for the War on Terror?
What an exibition of ignorance. You think you are so important. Do you think that what you do or don’t do determines anyone’s destiny with God? What hedonistic theology is that from? Your well meaning but sorely misplaced comments are surely a result of a lack of your knowledge of theology and church history (not your heart for the lost — keep on brother.) You may want to start with the short contempory history of the church in America circa 1880s where we can easily see the departure of foundational Christian beliefs in America. See “The War for Righteousness…” by Richard M. Gamble for a start. If you want to see the struggles of God’s remmnent take a look at the history of the Anabaptists of the 1400s as one example…or perhaps “The Pilgrim Church” by E.H. Broadbent…or “The Reformers and Their Stepchildren” by Leonard Verduin. Keep on keepingon brother.
I think that people’s actions have consequences. By changing our actions, we change the consequences.
The consequences of attacking an unsaved person’s politics under the guise of religion is that they will be less likely to convert your religion. Ergo, that person is more likely to go to hell (assuming your religion is correct).
On the other hand, if you avoid politics in your sermons, you have a greater probability of that person converting because he is not distracted by earthly political matters.
As regards your ad hominem attacks: We disagree on a theological matter, specifically the exact balance between the free will of man and the sovereignty of God. You seem to think that anyone who God wants to be saved will be saved regardless of any human action; I think that God respects each person’s desires and will not forcibly save him if the person rejects him.
But the mere fact that we disagree on a theological point makes me neither ignorant nor arrogant nor hedonistic. It would help you to realize the difference between saying “I think you’re wrong” and “I think you’re stupid.”
A whole lot of people around the world would love to be “stuck” in the dorms of a university that teaches God’s Word. I’m not arguing for/against a particular policy. I guess it’s more an attitude thing.
That bill will last at least as long as the war on terror, which could be decades or forever. Sure, the supreme court could strike it down, but it’s important to note that the supreme court can’t enforce its own decisions. That job is left to congress and the executive branch, neither of which would ever give up the powers gained under this bill. If the president wanted to, couldn’t he subvert the entire democratic system by jailing his political opponents? After all, it would be a danger to America if we changed horses midstream…
If the president wanted to, couldn’t he subvert the entire democratic system by jailing his political opponents?
I was originally going to say that the American people would rise up against that kind of abuse, but now that I think about it, I’m not so sure. I’m starting to think that if this doesn’t shake people up, nothing will.
After all, it would be a danger to America if we changed horses midstream…
Oddly enough, that’s why I voted for Bush. I wasn’t happy with Bush on his domestic issues, but I was sure that Kerry would bungle the Iraq war. Now Bush has completely bungled the Iraq war and his only legitimate reason for going to war–WMD’s–has been proven to be a fraud. (Whether that fraud was intentional or not is a matter of debate.)
I really wish there was a third party with a chance of winning.
This bill will last forever, until the Republic is restored through Revolution. This is just the tip of the iceberg, expect to witness, or at least hear about, raids in the middle of the night, dragging political dissenters into the street. You will see this within the next three years, is my guess.
every person that was honest with themselves knew that the buildup to iraq was forced and false. i find it shocking that so many people believed the reasons the bush administration gave for the invasion, they were obviously lies. most people i know knew it then and they know it now.
i hope you will not vote for a republican candidate again. i don’t think democrats are saints either, but at least they’re not war mongers and i really can’t imagine a president kerry shitting on the constitution like bush has, even if he did steer himself into the morass that is the iraq war today.
mostpeople: In fairness to myself, I had just turned 18 at the time. I had heard the speech that Colin Powell gave to the U.N. in a speech class and I had found it convincing. It sounded like he had real evidence.
I would like to believe that four years of college education have sharpened my critical thinking skills.
In any case, I’ll probably end up voting Libertarian next election. They don’t have a chance of winning, but it’s better to vote your conscience than for the candidate who will win.
You people (commentators included) can’t figure out the price of the mangos but you have perfectly analyzed the world terrorism situation….hmmm. You “knew” everyone was lying about WMDs (some of which were used in Iraq on the Kurds)…hmmmm. Perhaps real life is truly more complicated that the price of mangos at Kroger and that our leaders should be given something of the benefit of doubt for trying to balance our safety and security and civil liberties. While legitimate debate is good, prayer for leaders is better, and support for them is crucial. If you have legitimate concerns tell someone that can do some good–express them to your elected representatives. Then you could work to get good representatives elected–call their campaign headquarters and help out. But the whining does nothing for me.
That “something shiny” is the Foley story. There are rumors now that the GOP was warning congressional pages as far back as 2001 to watch out for the sick bastard. In my opinion Foley was “sacrificed” to distract media attention away from the suspension of habeus corpus: the top of every news hour now leads with more sordid details of the Foley story, and the truly alarming story on habeus corpus – the one that *really* matters – has already disappeared for the most part from Corporate Media. It’s probably lying moldering somewhere in a news morgue…a fitting symmetry it would seem.
When I grep cygcheck.out it says that I have a cygwin1.dll in my WINDOWS/system32 folder, but when I go there to delete the file I cannot find it. Any suggestions?
Life’s too short!??
I’m here to tell you that life is the longest thing you will EVER do!
And Eve is a supurb way of spending you recreation time. Be disciplined with it to get the best results. Eve is not everything and it shouln’t be regarded as such, but enjoy its richness
thank you, thank you, thank you! this solved my problem, thankfully before I resorted to reinstalling cygwin. this is a perfect example of why I love the internet…
Very interesting. Though I’m not sure I’ll follow your lead with my vote, the graph does suggest an interesting idea: the best government fiscally speaking is one that can’t agree on anything. Both parties have their favorite pork barrels: Republicans have trade and defense, Democrats have arts and social causes. However, when the legislative and executive wings disagree, neither barrel can get filled.
Thanks, J.D.
A regular windows search did not turn up the extra cygwin1.dll, so I was very frustrated. My extra cygwin1.dll was in my WINDOWS/system32 folder but it was not visible though I have view hidden files enabled. Weird. All I did was use ‘rm’ from the command line and it worked just fine, and I am up and running again.
This post reminded me of a fascinating article I read early this year about an effort to provide clean water and electricity to poverty-stricken areas. It sounded like a great way to help the little guy help himself.
you forgot to mention EVE’s unique skill system…it doesn’t require hours of plunking away to level up, you simply set a skill to training and let it go…1 hour of real life is one hour of training. It IS a time sink in gaining money or fame or assets, but you aren’t going to be left behind skill wise by not playing for a week or two. The experience (knowing how to fit ships or how to fight, or see a market trend developing) is something you will miss out on, but it is easily made up. As long as you set a skill training, you are, at the very least getting yourself in a position to do well, if not necessarily actually doing well.
I’ve got something like this in our front garden. It bears berries, but not so many yet. It’s our first winter in our new house so I’m excited about what to expect in our winter garden.
Jenny: Actually, I have no idea what kind of berries those are. I found the bush next to a mini-golf course near my house as I was taking a walk last night.
Not every Southern accent is the “back-water redneck” variety. I’ve known some very genteel and pleasant Southern accents. Some folks think it is quite charming.
By the photos I’ve seen so far, it appears that we annoy our pets quite a bit. That’s a hilarious photo, though. Thanks for sharing. Mine’s up if you care to visit.
On September 1, it was time to get the oil changed, so our account owner took the Freedom Account checkbook to the place she always has her oil changed, wrote out check #101 to Jiffy Lube for $19.95, wrote the entry into the subaccount book when she got home, and did the substraction to come with a new balance of $236.05. Regular monthly deposits occurred again on September 5 and October 5, bringing the new balance to $364.05. Have you ever noticed how car trouble seems to come in waves?
From “Debt-Proof Living” by Mary Hunt. Great book on budgeting maybe a better way.
And here I thought that I might of found a location in which to purchase cocai I mean “salt lines”. j/k
Excellent pic though truly funny.
Mine is up as well – not as creative but it’s up.
“As Socrates revealed the depth of his wisdom by doubting that he knew much, Franklin showed how numble he was by second-guessing his humility. A wry smile must have curled Franklin’s lips as he wrote ‘imitate Jesus and Socrates.’ The apparently simple injunction contained a hidden assumption: that Jesus and Socrates modeled the same life of virtue, or at least two complementary visions of that life.”
From “Jesus in America: Personal Savior, Cultural Hero, National Obsession” by Richard Wightman Fox, Ph.D. Excellent book on American religious history written from a nonreligious but sympathetic perspective.
Good work! I have ARM compiler, which wouldn’t start. Finally it began work after remove original c:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll and move to this place cygwin1.dll from enviroment of ARM compiler (c:\gnuarm\bin). It was made for compiler need extra entry points into cygwin1.dll which original system DLL hasn’t.
It was very easy follow your information. Thanks!
That is a great sign to have captured and the sci-fi theme is what immediately came to mind. Actually that is the theme of many Sci-fi stories, including some William Gibson and “Total Recall”, and there are a few others that I can’t remember the name of at the moment.
Great photo choice! And to think I paid full price for my memories.
Write the sci-fi, even if it has been done, yours will be different. My first Photo hunt is up. Have a great day.
I’m glad all turned out well, there is no fun with computer problem shivering of fear since both of us have computers that’s beginning to get old and is bound to be damaged any moment….
I was a little nervous while I was taking it apart, but I figured that I couldn’t break it much worse. And it helped that I had seen my friend Drew take apart my computer once before, so I had some idea of what I was supposed to do.
But yeah. There’s nothing to be afraid of inside a computer, as long as you remember to unplug it.

Like everyone else has said: Thank you! I just came across this problem myself, and even after deleting a bunch of erroneous cygwin1.dll files (lots of random programs seem to have their own version), I was still hitting this error. I found the cygwin1.dll file in system32, but even after making sure that I hadn’t accidently switched to Idiot Mode, the file was still hidden – good call, Microsoft, users really don’t need to see their files! Maybe Vista can come with an automatic rootkit and save all the hacker/crackers the trouble?
Anyway, thanks Melissa A, your message solved my problem.
It’s a video game console. It comes with a game called Wii Sports that lets you and up to four friends play golf, bowling, boxing, tennis, or baseball.
In addition to that, you can use it to access the internet, check the weather and the news, and some other stuff. Video game consoles are a sort of computer, but they’re very specialized, designed mainly to play games.
That reminds me of a friend’s first trip to the United States from France. We were all talking and someone said, “That’s gross!” Chantal immediately said, “I don’t understand – 144?”
Quite a difference from most the photos this morning! Although – the paint left behing by those BB could be gross! As well as any bruises! I’ve got my first SPH up. Check it out!
I am so glad someone chose that kind of gross! I thought about it, but didn’t have a gross of anything lying around. Great idea! I hope he has fun. My photo is up
I saw these and almost bought some but wasn’t sure about them. SO, they are good and fun, huh? I may have to get some… it seems they are the new things over BB’s… Ya’ll shoot them at each other? Ouch.
Jeremy, you’re trying to use Word for all the wrong things bro… It’s not meant to be a design tool and definitely not meant to be a source code editor LOL! Word is best at things like technical documents, invoices, papers, books, tables, charts etc… it’s got a lot of business/collaboration features that you would probably never want to use but none the less are very useful for many people in the “real world”… you make a big mistake trying to compare it to InDesign and notepad, not the same thing at all!
(BTW, I have office 2007 and the new UI is awesome)
The above all was good. One extra step was required after issuing the commands thomas suggested. Go to C: -> WINDOWS -> system3 and you can now see the cyg files. Right click -> Properties -> uncheck read-only. Now re-issue the commands given by thomas:
”
- Start > Run… > cmd (hit enter). Then in the command line, type:
- cd c:\windows\system32
- attrib cyg*.dll -s -h
- del cyg*.dll

I agree that kubuntu looks much, much better than ubuntu. In mean, seriously: An all-brown default theme? There’s a reason that both Windows and OSX use a lot of blue in their default themes.
But, one of the other cool features of Beryl is the Emerald Theme Manager. I’ve got my theme set up to be a shiny emerald-esque green color. Very nice. And I get to stick with Gnome, which I know reasonably well already.
Looks quite modern to me – but I know very little about electronics and don’t won’t to admit that something I remember might put me in the antique catergory!! Happy weekend.
Now that’s a genuine antique – LOL
You know I read that our ordinary laptops have more computerized gizmos in them than the first flight to the moon.
Pardon my use of high tech language
My ex-husband is a ham radio operator. He found some giant tubes at a junk place and sold them for $50 each back in the 70′s when radio enthusiasts were using them to amplify their ham signals. One night he was in the college lab and got his hands across them with a significant electric charge… had to go to the ER. Hmmmm. Come to think of it, perhaps that is where he started going wrong.
Excellent photo: but you got me chuckling with your caption. In fact, I had to check out your porfile to see how old you are! I am buying any tubes I see at flea markets, etc. Not going out of my way, just picking them up for you youngsters to look at so they can see the evolution of their computers! Have a wonderful week!
lol…ok, I looked at the dictonary first and thought, salty? then I see the salt on the top…good take on this weeks theme. My photo is up, come and visit soon
Which RadioShack antenna model did you take? Have you checked with AntennaWeb how many broadcasts are available in your area? How many of them you can pull in with RadioShack?
just wondering …. personally, I am a fan of terk antennas in good to moderate hd signal strength, and winegard antennas when the reception is really tough …
You are a genius. Having just spent two hours looking at various official support pages & ‘knowledgeable’ forums, found your site and fixed the problem in 30 seconds. Let me buy you a pint if you’re ever in Bristol (UK).
I chuckled. Here, I always visualize Episcopalian churchs are a tad Gothic. Very beautiful but usually very identifiable. But most denominations are I guess. I’d love to see the overhead view of the church you found (and the inside). It’s fascinating how architecture is beginning to mirror the changes in liturgy now.
That looks a bit like a shopping precinct. But it is attractive. care has gone into the design and that doens’t always seem to be the case with modern church buildings.
The people running this after-school program need to get a life. They pretty much exemplify the mantra of Communism and other forms of totalitarianism: “Some folks are more equal than other folks!”
Well it certainly is rare since I’d never heard of it! lol Might be worth a lot of money one day because it’s not something one sees around too often!! Have a wonderful weekend:-)
We had the exact same problem with our loss of Wii internet connection, even tried two different Access Points and spent tons of time trying to trouble-shoot the problem. I never would have thought to remove the Gamecube Memory cards, but that fixed the problem. Thanks!
If they spent 6 hours praying, they would be called fanatics. But would to God we would be fanatics for Him. I am guilty of too much time in the blogosphere- some days. I see it as one of those things where good things replace the best things.
If someone spent 6 hours a day in continuous prayer (as opposed to an attitude of prayer) every day, they would either be a professional Christian and could spend that length of time, or not of any use to God nor man.
I’ve always loved sites like the CSS Zen Garden, where you can push a button and completely change the look and feel of the web site, just by trading out images and style sheets. I can’t wait to try it on the Sandbox website.
I guess it would depend on whether the general population did the same thing of splitting portions in half.
I think french fry portions are way too big, and a “medium” drink at some places is the size of what a “giant” used to be. Plus there is the 700+ calorie shakes at Chick-Fil-A which I wish were 1/2 to 1/3 that size.
Good point. Dessert portions do tend towards being huge. Personally, I think that the small Frosty at Wendy’s needs to be about the kid’s size.
And that’s definitely true about French Fries. Those don’t reheat well, so you can’t split them over multiple meals, and they are pretty addictive. It’s hard to have just a few fries when they’re sitting there, waiting to be eaten.
Definitely. And beside the potential property destruction, are American kids really so lazy that they can’t walk from the burger counter to their tables?

Sing That iTune is a dashboard widget that does that. It is supposed to automatically put the lyrics into your song’s info window. I know it used to do that,but I had an old version and because of your post, I have FINALLY upgraded. I hope it works. There used to be a couple of other widgets that did this. Back in the days of early widgets.
sorry: 2 comments are poor form. It worked quickly. I don’t know if I have to each time, but it worked after I double clicked the face of the widget, which I did out of frustration because nothing seemed to be working. It could’ve been working but there was no little thing telling me it was working. But I now have lyrics and they are in the lyric field on the iTunes info window.
Actually, scratch that. The lyrics this widget turns up tend to be full of misspellings and errors. No good.
I just want a central database of accurate song lyrics, approved by the artists and/or publishers of the music that I’m listening to. I want iTunes to connect to that database and automagically get any lyrics that I’m missing. Are you listening Apple?
Cool. Thanks for sharing, JD. Another approach to this would be to use the after_create hook of the Todo model and perform your same logic there. You could implement this as a plugin that would live in your vendor/plugins directory. That would save yourself merging issues later.
Thanks for the review, Jeremy! I use FileZilla now too and I’m looking for something with more smarts.
What I really want is a standalone version of what most IDEs have. I want to develop on my local computer, get all the files working the way I want, and then have it show me which ones are changed relative to the remote site. I want to hit one button and either move all those changed files up to the server (or do the reverse and overwrite my local ones if I’ve messed up and I want to go back).
The secure transfer would be awesome (but not required).
Anyone know of a product that does this? (I’m happy with using Xemacs for my editor and I don’t want to use Eclipse or any other IDE.)
I don’t know of a product like that, but that would be really cool.
One idea would be to use Subversion. You could set up a subversion repository on your own web site’s host, then check out the repository on your PC. After you’ve made the changes you want, you could commit them to the repository, then check them out on the host machine of your client. The client’s host machine would update whatever files you had changed.
This depends, of course, on your client’s web host letting you check out subversion repositories on their machines.
Michael Savage is the ONLY Talk Show Host who really stands for American values. Borders, Language & Culture is what he is all about. If we had more people in the media like Savage, the world would be a better place! He is the only person who tells it how it really is, without sugarcoating anything. Furthermore he has his PHD in nutrition and I have read and gained insight. All in all, Mike has made me a better person.
Actually, the smaller heading are for a category of posts called “asides.” In the old theme, these posts had no heading at all and had a white bar on the left side.
I’m glad my Bible doesn’t teach such. So properly distinguish between sound Bible teaching / interpretation and opinion and emotional illustrations that have no basis in scripture. There were multiple errors preached in that sermon, but those don’t change the Bible. You do have to realize that individual men will get it wrong sometimes, but that doesn’t negate the Bible. Then there is also a place for longsuffering with a brother whose intentions might be good, but is not well trained or has just gotten it wrong one a particular point. Hang in there when a sermon is preached that you disagree with. Use it for an opportunity to study it out and let the Bible speak.
This is a very interesting point.I work in a preschool room and all of the kids say that they hate broccoli but i never knew why until i ask them and they said that it is because grown up like to eat them and that it is good for them
I’ve been using Circa since the first of the year and am totally hooked. I have multiple notebooks to handle multiple projects and love the ability to stick whatever pages I need into my agenda before a meeting, then nack into the project book when I’m done.
Totally agree. I’ve just got the one notebook now, and I’m very tempted to buy one of the smaller notebooks. If I could get them from a local office supply store rather than ordering online, I’d probably go do it.
I love things that are made well, and the Circa notebook ranks up there with the Moleskine and the iPod for beautiful engineering.
Obama is definitely a charismatic personality and a terrific speaker. And I agree that it would be great to have a real inspirational leader in the White House.
But I’d like to know, “Yes we can…what?” Are you considering voting for Obama DESPITE his position on things like immigration, taxes, gay marriage, terrorism, or BECAUSE of it? Besides his charisma and decision not to campaign on fear and anger, which positions do you agree with?
I like his position on separation of church and state.
I like the fact that he opposes further wars in the Middle East, and that he supports rapid withdrawal from Iraq.
I like the idea of getting universal health insurance, like civilized countries.
His position on immigration, as stated on his website, seems imminently reasonable.
Since I think that the government ought not to be in the business of discriminating against people based on their sexual orientation, I’m for gay marriage.
On the other hand, I’m not a fan of his positions on gun control or abortion. But, you can’t have everything you want.
Thanks for the very thoughtful response. Just a few questions and comments…
“I like his position on separation of church and state.”
Are you familiar with the founding fathers’ views on the separation of church and state? Most of them would be vehemently opposed to our modern application of the doctrine.
“I like the fact that he opposes further wars in the Middle East, and that he supports rapid withdrawal from Iraq.”
If he opposes wars of imperialism, I agree. If he opposes wars of self-defense, I disagree. I’ve found that in many cases, the more liberal the politician, the more likely they are to downplay our need for a strong defense. Remember Bill Clinton and his famous “I loath the military” quote. Many politicians are “against war” and “in favor of peace.” Who wouldn’t be? But that’s a very naive position which ignores some very real threats to our freedom. As bad as war is, I’m very glad we stood up, militarily, to someone like Hitler. I believe in diplomacy, but when diplomacy fails, we need more than group hugs and kumbaya.
“I like the idea of getting universal health insurance, like civilized countries.”
I would love universal health insurance too, but provided by the government? No thanks. Whatever the government pays for, they control. They can tell you which doctor to go to. They can tell you when you can go to the doctor and what procedures to have. Sort of like insurance companies, but many times worse. In Canada, with their “single payer” (government) system, elective surgery means long waits, sometimes years. Every cold and flu season brings TV commercials asking people to please not go to the emergency room unless they are really sick. With the shortcomings of our health care system, it’s still the best in the world. Government health care = rationed health care.
“His position on immigration, as stated on his website, seems imminently reasonable.”
Including his stated support for drivers licenses for illegal aliens?
“Since I think that the government ought not to be in the business of discriminating against people based on their sexual orientation, I’m for gay marriage.”
If you believe that marriage comes from the government, I agree with you. If you believe marriage is an institution created by God, then I suppose He should get to make the rules.
By the way, should the government discriminate against polygamists? Or, should it prohibit the marriage of a consenting brother and sister? Or, a mother and adult son? Or three men and a baby? All of those are illegal in the US. Should it be legal for a man to marry his favorite farm animal, as long as the farm animal agrees, of course?
On the other hand, I’m not a fan of his positions on gun control or abortion. But, you can’t have everything you want.
Thanks for mentioning a couple of issues we can completely agree on!
Not everyone believes that taking the life of a baby who was conceived 9 months ago, and is partly delivered and healthy, is murder, but if you do, wouldn’t it be hard to vote for someone in favor of that? Obama is a supporter of keeping partial birth abortion legal. By the way, he has also proposed banning all civilian semi-automatic weapons.
Hey, thanks for commenting. I was getting worried that no one was reading this thing.
RE: Separation of church and state: The positions of our founding fathers varied nearly as much as we do today. Patrick Henry was strongly Christian and for a Christian-influenced government, while Thomas Jefferson and Thomas Paine wanted a more secular government.
I also think that the country is much more religiously diverse than it was in the days of the founding fathers. Even if separation of church and state, as we interpret it today, was not quite what they intended when they wrote the Constitution, I think that it’s an important and useful doctrine. The government should absolutely not be in the practice of telling the citizens what to believe about God.
Now, I think the ACLU takes things too far. The cause of religious freedom is not harmed by a Christmas display in a public park. But I think that it’s important to say that this is a nation governed by law, not by the Bible. Having the Ten Commandments, a dual symbol of religion and justice, outside of a courthouse sends a mixed message (unless the commandments are flanked by the Code of Hammurabi and other examples of ancient justice).
Because even if we wanted a Christian nation, governed by the Bible, you’d have to pick an interpretation of the Bible. Do we run the country under the Catholic interpretation or the Baptist one or even the Mormon one? Even then, we don’t want the government to say “This is what the citizens should believe.”
RE: War. I do agree that a strong military is important. And there’s no question that the American military outclasses every other military in the world.
The problem is that the military is, like most other government entities, pretty wasteful. We dedicate something like half of our federal budget to the military, and I think that if we need to cut social programs that we also need to consider cutting off the less effective programs in the military.
Now, we could get into a debate as to whether or not Iraq was a genuine threat to our freedom. I thought it was as we went in, based on the evidence Colin Powell presented to the UN, but I’m not as sure now. Regardless, we’ve eliminated it as a potential threat, and we need to get our troops out as soon as we can without letting some Taliban-like group take over.
I think that we use the club of the military too often. I think it’s important to use the military on real threats (e.g., Hitler), but that we need to be more careful in selecting targets. Is Iran really a threat to the United States right now? And would war really fix the problem there, or would it make things worse?
Re: Health Insurance: I disagree. I think that corporations can be a lot worse than the government in terms of oppressiveness. As you say, the insurance industry already tells you what doctors you can see and what procedures they’ll pay for. The government is accountable to the people, at least in theory. If they’re doing a bad job with health care, then the people will remove the governors and replace them with new governors. The insurance industry is accountable to the shareholders, and then only to make more money, which they get by not paying out as many claims. The incentive structure is all wrong.
The Canadian system is actually a nationalized health *insurance* system. Doctors are free to open practices where they want to and to do whatever procedures they need to. In fact, having only one health insurance company to deal with simplifies the doctor’s lives immensely, and they have more time to deal with patients. (Or, so I’ve been told.)
I’ve heard good and bad about the wait times for care, but I don’t know if it’s worse than our current system.
Re: Driver’s Licenses for Illegal Aliens: Why not? They’re driving anyway. Wouldn’t it be better to identify them than not to? Even if the end goal is to round them all up and deport them (which I vehemently oppose on both moral and financial grounds), it would be a lot simpler if we knew who and where the illegal aliens are.
Re: The Government and Marriage: I think that as long as all the parties are consenting adults, the government should step out of the way. This eliminates bestiality, because there is no way for an animal to consent, and it eliminates anything involving children.
In truth, I think that the government ought not to be giving licenses for marriage at all. It’s too much of a quasi-religious issue; it’s part of my position on separation of church and state. Let people marry whomever they think is right–as long as they are consenting adults.
Our social mores already oppose polygamy and incest. I don’t think we need the government to enforce those rules.
Re: Abortion & Obama: I think that, as a practical matter, the only thing that’s going to completely criminalize abortion is a constitutional amendment. There is little that the President can do to prevent abortion. I mean, George W. Bush is strongly opposed to abortion, and yet it still stands legal.
I’d rather to vote on what the candidate can affect rather than what he can’t.
Re: Gun Control: Let me play the Devil’s Advocate: What do law-abiding civilians need with semi-automatic weapons? How many people walk down the streets of America carrying AK-47′s?
Certainly, the criminals won’t obey the laws against semi-automatic weapons, but arming the law-abiding citizens with AK-47′s rather than with pistols seems like a way of escalating bloodshed and damage rather than keeping it down.
“As you might imagine, this greatly reduces overhead and waste for the doctors, who no longer have to deal with dozens of different insurance companies and who no longer have to argue with an insurance company to convince them to pay for their patients’ care.”
Not really. Just reduces services. You now have one insurance company who decides what to pay for, and instead of price rationing health care , the rationing is done by central planners.
So you may or may not be covered for what you would be with a private program, and if you are not covered for a treatment by public healthcare or you are covered but treatment is not available in the public system, seeking treatment in Canada with your resources is illegal. You have to go to another country to secure services, and people do.
You are mistaken. By no means is it illegal to seek private health care. In fact, if you read the article I linked to in the original post, you’ll discover that there are still some private health insurers in Canada that cover whatever gaps the public system has.
(Sorry that your comment got stuck in moderation for so long!)
I agree. We could actually do this with people too. Spray everyone with pest(people)icide. 1-2% actually survive because they have some genetic make up that is in the population that was previously unknown (nobody ever sprayed us before). Lets also say that this trait is correlated with black hair. These “purified” form of humans go on to have babies with similar genetic code. Depending on whether it is a dominant or regressive trait, the population has a greater or lesser % of people with the pesticide / black hair trait. Keep spraying them repeatedly until the everyone has black hair and is immune to the pesticide. Since the pesticide is organic based and is no longer deleterious someone tries eating it and whoo hoo, it tastes good! With respect to pesticides there is a positive change, but with respect to hair color it has reduced variation in the population. All you really have done is to change the environment such that it stomps out some genotypes in comparison to other genotypes.
Hi! I read your Tumblr post about Habari, and thought I’d drop you a note.
When you’re finally through with WordPress and decide to take the plunge into Habari full-on, be sure to visit our IRC Channel if you need help, want to see the latest new stuff we’re working on, or want to pass on any feedback from using the software.
Cool! I fully intend to switch to Habari in a few days here. I’m writing a new theme for it now. I *love* it; the posting interface is great. It’s beautiful and simple. Thanks!
I found your site on technorati and read a few of your other posts. Keep up the good work. I just added your RSS feed to my Google News Reader. Looking forward to reading more from you down the road!
kindly let us know the total cost with shipping cost by post office or FedEx to nigeria .
payment will be made via credit card l will be awaiting to your reply

so we should play it…haha
o, congs!
There’s just so many more valuable and interesting things to do with your time than this game.
HomeWorld is by far one of the best games I’ve played. The developers poured themselves into it. I finished HW2 a few weeks ago. Not as excellent as HW1, but good. EVE Online fascinates me but I avoid it for the reasons you put forward.
ps – thanks for your thoughts on the Church&Politics article. I agree with your thoughts.
This is one of those issues where people often don’t use their word carefully enough.
Do i support “separation of church & state” (i.e. that the state should not interfere in religious matters nor establish an official church)” Absolutely!
Do i support “separation of church & state” (i.e. that no religious ideas should be allowed outside the church)? no.
The important question IMHO is not “is what is being preached political”? but “is what is being preached directly from the Bible?” That homosexuality or abortion is wrong, is taught in the bible, and should therefore be preached. A particular legislative strategy for dealing with these things (for the new testament era) cannot be found in the Bible, and therefore should not be preached.
I agree almost exactly with what jwberk said, so I won’t reiterate it.
And, BTW, “separation of church and state” isn’t in the Constitution. See http://www.wallbuilders.com/resources/search/detail.php?ResourceID=9
What interests me is that no where in the epistles nor in early church history do you see the church recommending ways to change the Roman Empire to make it more amenable to Christianity. The early church had no interest in politcal reform, only in spreading the message of the Gospel.
You don’t see Paul condemning the brutality of the Coliseum, nor are there any writings condemning Nero for his torture and murder of the early Christians.
jwbjerk: It seems like you support sort of a lopsided separation of church and state. In other words, the state shouldn’t interfere with the church, but the church can do whatever it wants to with the state.
I agree with your second point, that we should preach against issues that the Bible condemns, but what I’m talking about is the sort of activism that I see every four years or so (i.e. “candidate information” cards that are thinly veiled ways of telling people in the congregation who to vote for) as well as the blanket condemnation of “liberals” and “activist judges” that I hear on a regular basis.
To me, such things dilute the messages that God actually wants distributed according to the Bible.
Barbara H: While I am aware that the words “separation of church and state” do not appear in the Constitution, the principle is still there. The famous quote from Jefferson’s letter reads:
In other words, the principle is that the church and state are to be separate entities: The state can’t tell you what church to join, and the church can’t tell you which candidate to vote for.
Happy be-lated Birthday! I just found your site today. Keep up the good work! Are you still using Ubuntu?
Thanks!
Not really. I found Ubuntu to be a lot more hassle than it was worth. Once I found Cygwin, which lets me do most of the things I liked about Linux under Windows, Linux started looking a lot less appealing to me.
My main problem with Linux is that it takes a long time to fix any given problem. For example, I was trying to get my Sony Clie to sync with Ubuntu, and after hours of altering config files that I didn’t really understand, I was no closer to my goal than I was before. Apparently there’s a bug someplace or another in the new version of the Linux kernel or something.
I like windows. I’m familiar with it, and I’ve learned how to make it look and feel exactly the way I want to.
And, of course, all of the software I like–especially games–is written for Windows. Since I know how to defend myself from spyware and viruses, I really don’t have any motivation to switch.
I think none of the governments in Bible days were democracies, so citizens did not have the opportunities for a voice in government as we have today. If we have it, I think it is perfectly fine to use it. Some would even say we have a responsibility to use it.
I don’t see a pastor recommending a candidate or asking his congregation to write to their legislators, etc., as crossing any lines. “The Church” doesn’t have the authority as, say, the Roman Catholic church in the Middle Ages. People view what their pastor’s say there as recommendations, not commandments.
I don’t think jwbjerk’s two statements were lopsided at all. The First Amendment simply says (about religion), “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” That’s pretty plain and simple, and not at all as far-reaching as some people think. The State does, of course, have a right to make sure churches keep within the law when it comes to zoning, fire code regulations, etc., but not in things that pertain specifically to the exercise of religion.
But the second statement, “Do i support “separation of church & state” (i.e. that no religious ideas should be allowed outside the church)? no.” doesn’t imply that “the church can do whatever it wants to with the state.” That is taking that statement way too far. Again, “The Church” doesn’t act as a unified governmental influence or authority — it is a group of individuals who have a right to do what they can to stand for righteousness. And there is nothing in any of the founding father’s writings that I have read that indicate all religious ideas should be contained within the church walls. Their writings, which are full of refernces to God, would argue against that.
However, I do agree that Christian groups who advocate “taking back the culture” and such like are off track. We’re never called to do that in Scripture (besides, if we did what we ARE called to do in Scripture in the way of witnessing to people, that would influence the culture more than affecting legislation). But I think that is a different thing than using the voice we have in this type of government.
I haven’t worked out exactly how far i believe the church should be involved with the state. The question is trickier now that we have a wider range of religions represented. I certainly don’t like it when christians buy into politics too much, where all sane judgement is abandoned and a canidate is presented as either perfectly good or utterly evil.
It does seem that you’ve bought into a modern misconception about the first ammendemnt. The entire and only purpose of the Bill of Rights was to limit the power of government.
From the Preamble to the Bill or Rights: “the States, having at the time of their adopting the Constitution… in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers, that further declaratory and restrictive clauses should be added…”
From the first ammendment: “Freedom of speech, press, religion, peaceable assembly, and to petition the government.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;”
There is nothing in the text about a “limitation of Religion” It’s all about what Congress can’t do. You may believe that the church should be similarly limited, but that idea is not found in the Constitution.
It’s true we don’t have many examples of political involvment in the NT, On the other hand, we don’t have any prohibitions against governmental involvement. The historical fact is, there were very few opportunites for political involvment at all through most of church history.
You don’t find Paul specificly condemning the Coliseum, but then again you don’t find him addressing non-Christians. It’s clear from his epistles that most of what went on there was wrong (i.e. murder). I can’t imagine a Christian government official of the time with the power to do something about the Coliseums, doing nothing, because he was more concerned with spiritual things.
jwbjerk took the words out of my mouth.
NOTE: The phrase “Separation of church and state” is not found in ANY of the founding documents. The US constitution says what the US constitution means. “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.”
I see what you’re saying about the Constitution not restricting religion, which is a good point. I imagine there are restrictions in legislative/judicial law, but it’s certainly not in the Constitution.
So, laying aside whether or not campaigning from the pulpit is legal or not, let me ask: is it ethical? Two issues immediately spring to mind. The first is the one I mentioned earlier: campaigning from the pulpit distracts and even detracts from the Gospel, with potentially eternal consequences.
The second issue is whether or not anyone should be telling anyone else how to vote. If a pastor tells his flock “You should vote for ____,” there may well be people who want to vote for another candidate but then feel a religious obligation to do as their pastor says. The pastor speaks from a position of some power over his flock (although the amount of that power varies from church to church; at my church), and he needs to be careful with it.
(Note that I’m not saying that opposition of a given issue on religious grounds is unethical. I’m against pushing a particular candidate, party, or political ideology from the pulpit, whether conservative or liberal.)
Cool!
Well, that would be an intersting plugin…
However, I wouldn’t use FTP to do any transfers to/from my server, it’s too easy for people to sniff your password (the traffic isn’t encrypted in any way).
Really… Wow. I didn’t realize that. A bit disturbing, that.
Dumb security question: How would an unscrupulous individual see my password anyways? I know that someone on my network could do it, but could anyone on the internet examine that traffic?
Ahhh, Mac OS. I feel so spoiled! Maybe one day Microsoft will discover the power of Drag and Drop…
Huh? What does drag-and-drop have to do with a Send-This-Image-To-My-Server item in the context menu when I right-click on an image? (You know about right click menus, right?
)
Well, I know it can be done, I just don’t know how
If your web host offers it (any good webhost _should_, if they don’t get a new web host) I would use SFTP (Secure FTP). It’s like FTP over an SSL connection. Anyway, there are several SFTP clients available that work just like a regular FTP client. I recommend WinSCP (a good open-source client for Window$).
As for Beninate’s comment about Mac OS, I have no idea what he’s talking about
Just a brief nitpick- I haven’t bothered to change the sound on my Mac (though I did on my old iBook with no problems, so it’s probably still possible), but if your system volume is muted, the startup sound won’t play, either. I usually keep the sound muted on my laptop and never have to listen to the startup chime.

I don’t know of a plugin quite like that, but I just started using a web browser that makes blogging and sharing pictures easier. It’s called Flock and if you have a photo sharing account with Flickr or Photobucket (or both) it makes blogging and uploading your photos really easy! It’s built on the same code as Firefox, so a lot of the same plugins are available for it.
I’m also a bit confused by Beninate’s comment. I use a Mac but as far as I know the ease/difficulty of doing these tasks depends more on your web browser and what kind of photo sharing and blogging accounts you have.
I love Flock. I’ve been using it as my primary browser for a couple of months now. The Flickr upload tool is just awesome.
And, I discovered you can drag and drop photos from webpages into the Flickr upload box. It’s not quite what I was looking for, but it’s pretty close.
I haven’t totally transitioned over to Flock because for some reason it keeps randomly signing me out of my gmail. I couldn’t figure it out. But I like to used Flock when I’m planning to do a lot of blogging or photo sharing. Do you know if there’s a way to make the Flickr photo topbar (or whatever it’s called) come up automatically when you launch Flock? I’ve been launching Flock and then immediately clicking to make it show the photos, which is two clicks more than I would prefer.
Pingback: J. D. Harper: The Official Blog » Blog Archive » This would be awesome…
Hmm. I’ve never had it log me out of gmail before. I know Gmail’s login only lasts two weeks, but it sounds like you’re being logged out more often than that.
::shrug::
I’m not sure how to keep a topbar open after closing a window. You might try asking around the Flock forums though.
But I did discover another neat topbar you can add to Flock: It’s the Technorati Topbar! You can use it to see what other bloggers are saying about the page you’re looking at. It’s pretty nifty.
Not so weird. It removed all the cards on the first page. None of those displayed on the second page were the same as the ones first presented.
OOooooohhh…
I completely missed that. Doh!
Man…can’t believe I missed that!
My first thought was, “Pick two cards.” Sure enough, neither of them was there and this led to the answer. But, I had a bit of an edge since I was once asked a very similar question during a job interview.
Ooh. That sounds like a tough job interview.
Why not just install Linux? I have yet to see a Linux box get ‘cruddy’ (unless, of course, someone did EVERYTHING as root
).
Coupla reasons: Mostly, I need to work with the Microsoft Office suite for my job.
That, and I know how to make Windows work for me; there’s a lot I’d have to re-learn in Linux.
….but…isn’t “do nothing” a state of being turned off?
In my experience (which is, admittedly, somewhat limited, but I’ve visited Taiwan, mainland China and Hong Kong), Chinese people aren’t all that reserved; they certainly don’t conform to the quiet, unassuming, even cold stereotype that they’ve acquired in the U.S. Anyone who’s stood on a street in China and been mobbed by people trying to sell them things or watched two people have what looks like a huge argument, then part laughing and slapping each others’ backs, is unlikely to call Chinese people “quiet” at all. If anything, it seemed to me that the tonal nature of the Chinese language makes Chinese people seem louder than they actually are- and in comparison to other Asian cultures, particularly the Japanese (I just got back from two years there), I found the Chinese to be extremely friendly, open and gregarious- not reserved at all.
I think the stereotype, which is often applied to Chinese-Americans, might derive from the fact that Asians in the U.S. are known for being hard workers, good students and having pretty sizeable expectations placed upon them by their families, which results in studious behavior. They also have the tendency to congregate with one another, which probably contributes to this idea, as well- Chinese people may be reserved with outsiders (though, while the Japanese certainly can be, I saw very, very little of this in China), but they’re hardly that with one another. There is a great deal of emphasis put on personal self control in Asian cultures, though, and losing one’s temper is considered a pretty big loss of face both in Japan and Korea- China may be the same, but going by the yelling matches I saw in the street when I was there, I’m not entirely sure of that.
Chinese is incredibly hard to pronounce correctly, though, and one of the toughest things about visiting mainland China was making myself understood. You more or less have to have someone in your hotel write things out for you to show cab drivers and/or carry around a phrasebook with Chinese characters wherever you go. Good times, though- I’d recommend going to anyone.
I don’t think the 9/11 anniversary coverage is meant to, or will across the board, incite terror. It’s a time of remembrance — just like people who lived through the Pearl Harbor attack or soldiers who lived through D-Day remember the time, the experiences, their fallen comrades. Our country was probably more unified than it has ever been in my lifetime right after 9/11 and I remember that with sadness that it didn’t last.
Seeing those images again does not terrify me. The increased security measures at aiports after the recent terrorist attempt on London contribute more in that direction.
Thanks very much for the link!

Interesting. I didn’t know that about the Chinese people. You’re right, I had just assumed the Chinese were reserved based on the stereotype. I can imagine that any immigrant to a country that speaks a foreign language would generally be a lot quieter than he would be in his home country.
I’ve always thought tonal languages were interesting things to think about, but I’ve always been glad to speak a non-tonal language. It would take a lot of getting used to.
Glad to do it; hope the site gets back up soon!
Yeah. I think that people waited almost a full day before complaining that the President hadn’t released a statement soon enough.
One thing that’s sort of interesting to think about: Pearl Harbor took place in December of 1941. Japan surrendered in August of 1945. The war on terror has lasted for more than a year longer than our involvment in WWII.
Worse, there’s no end goal. There’s no place where we can say “Now we’ve won!” What is the victory condition for the War on Terror?
What an exibition of ignorance. You think you are so important. Do you think that what you do or don’t do determines anyone’s destiny with God? What hedonistic theology is that from? Your well meaning but sorely misplaced comments are surely a result of a lack of your knowledge of theology and church history (not your heart for the lost — keep on brother.) You may want to start with the short contempory history of the church in America circa 1880s where we can easily see the departure of foundational Christian beliefs in America. See “The War for Righteousness…” by Richard M. Gamble for a start. If you want to see the struggles of God’s remmnent take a look at the history of the Anabaptists of the 1400s as one example…or perhaps “The Pilgrim Church” by E.H. Broadbent…or “The Reformers and Their Stepchildren” by Leonard Verduin. Keep on keepingon brother.
I think that people’s actions have consequences. By changing our actions, we change the consequences.
The consequences of attacking an unsaved person’s politics under the guise of religion is that they will be less likely to convert your religion. Ergo, that person is more likely to go to hell (assuming your religion is correct).
On the other hand, if you avoid politics in your sermons, you have a greater probability of that person converting because he is not distracted by earthly political matters.
As regards your ad hominem attacks: We disagree on a theological matter, specifically the exact balance between the free will of man and the sovereignty of God. You seem to think that anyone who God wants to be saved will be saved regardless of any human action; I think that God respects each person’s desires and will not forcibly save him if the person rejects him.
But the mere fact that we disagree on a theological point makes me neither ignorant nor arrogant nor hedonistic. It would help you to realize the difference between saying “I think you’re wrong” and “I think you’re stupid.”

A whole lot of people around the world would love to be “stuck” in the dorms of a university that teaches God’s Word. I’m not arguing for/against a particular policy. I guess it’s more an attitude thing.
That bill will last at least as long as the war on terror, which could be decades or forever. Sure, the supreme court could strike it down, but it’s important to note that the supreme court can’t enforce its own decisions. That job is left to congress and the executive branch, neither of which would ever give up the powers gained under this bill. If the president wanted to, couldn’t he subvert the entire democratic system by jailing his political opponents? After all, it would be a danger to America if we changed horses midstream…
Told you so.

I was originally going to say that the American people would rise up against that kind of abuse, but now that I think about it, I’m not so sure. I’m starting to think that if this doesn’t shake people up, nothing will.
Oddly enough, that’s why I voted for Bush. I wasn’t happy with Bush on his domestic issues, but I was sure that Kerry would bungle the Iraq war. Now Bush has completely bungled the Iraq war and his only legitimate reason for going to war–WMD’s–has been proven to be a fraud. (Whether that fraud was intentional or not is a matter of debate.)
I really wish there was a third party with a chance of winning.
Teaching “God’s Word” is not an excuse for bad policy.
This bill will last forever, until the Republic is restored through Revolution. This is just the tip of the iceberg, expect to witness, or at least hear about, raids in the middle of the night, dragging political dissenters into the street. You will see this within the next three years, is my guess.
I don’t know the price of the mangos however.
Shame on you talking bad about the machine. I know someone who’s going to be put on the no fly-list.
every person that was honest with themselves knew that the buildup to iraq was forced and false. i find it shocking that so many people believed the reasons the bush administration gave for the invasion, they were obviously lies. most people i know knew it then and they know it now.
i hope you will not vote for a republican candidate again. i don’t think democrats are saints either, but at least they’re not war mongers and i really can’t imagine a president kerry shitting on the constitution like bush has, even if he did steer himself into the morass that is the iraq war today.
I would not bet any money at any odds that Bush won’t still be President AFTER noon on January 20, 2009.
Why are there pineapples beneath the mango sign? It must be Bush’s fault.
I love mangos. But that other stuff you were talking about is soooooooo boring.

The Average Citizen
mostpeople: In fairness to myself, I had just turned 18 at the time. I had heard the speech that Colin Powell gave to the U.N. in a speech class and I had found it convincing. It sounded like he had real evidence.
I would like to believe that four years of college education have sharpened my critical thinking skills.
In any case, I’ll probably end up voting Libertarian next election. They don’t have a chance of winning, but it’s better to vote your conscience than for the candidate who will win.
I don’t get it, are the Mangos $1 or not?
You people (commentators included) can’t figure out the price of the mangos but you have perfectly analyzed the world terrorism situation….hmmm. You “knew” everyone was lying about WMDs (some of which were used in Iraq on the Kurds)…hmmmm. Perhaps real life is truly more complicated that the price of mangos at Kroger and that our leaders should be given something of the benefit of doubt for trying to balance our safety and security and civil liberties. While legitimate debate is good, prayer for leaders is better, and support for them is crucial. If you have legitimate concerns tell someone that can do some good–express them to your elected representatives. Then you could work to get good representatives elected–call their campaign headquarters and help out. But the whining does nothing for me.
That “something shiny” is the Foley story. There are rumors now that the GOP was warning congressional pages as far back as 2001 to watch out for the sick bastard. In my opinion Foley was “sacrificed” to distract media attention away from the suspension of habeus corpus: the top of every news hour now leads with more sordid details of the Foley story, and the truly alarming story on habeus corpus – the one that *really* matters – has already disappeared for the most part from Corporate Media. It’s probably lying moldering somewhere in a news morgue…a fitting symmetry it would seem.

I don’t have time to debate, but I did want to register the fact that I think Bush has done a good job with the situation he has to deal with.
Good solution. I only found the cygwin1.dll at directory at which cygwin was installed. But the list show another cygwin1.dll at c:/windows/system.
Glad it was helpful. This drove me crazy for hours.

When I grep cygcheck.out it says that I have a cygwin1.dll in my WINDOWS/system32 folder, but when I go there to delete the file I cannot find it. Any suggestions?
It may be a hidden file. In windows explorer, go to Tools – Folder Options. Click on the View tab and check “show hidden files and folders.”
Then check the windows/system32 folder to see if it has reappeared.

Hmm… Maybe if you go into Cygwin and type:

and then restart Cygwin, it might work.

Awesome, thanks! If you’re offended by factual statistics, you’re welcome to leave.
Well, though the debt is important, there are higher considerations than the debt — like pro-life issues, for one.
Very interesting. Though I’m not sure I’ll follow your lead with my vote, the graph does suggest an interesting idea: the best government fiscally speaking is one that can’t agree on anything. Both parties have their favorite pork barrels: Republicans have trade and defense, Democrats have arts and social causes. However, when the legislative and executive wings disagree, neither barrel can get filled.
Thanks, J.D.
A regular windows search did not turn up the extra cygwin1.dll, so I was very frustrated. My extra cygwin1.dll was in my WINDOWS/system32 folder but it was not visible though I have view hidden files enabled. Weird. All I did was use ‘rm’ from the command line and it worked just fine, and I am up and running again.
Very beautiful and interesting picture. I also like the help us John Kerry one below. Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend:D

This post reminded me of a fascinating article I read early this year about an effort to provide clean water and electricity to poverty-stricken areas. It sounded like a great way to help the little guy help himself.
you forgot to mention EVE’s unique skill system…it doesn’t require hours of plunking away to level up, you simply set a skill to training and let it go…1 hour of real life is one hour of training. It IS a time sink in gaining money or fame or assets, but you aren’t going to be left behind skill wise by not playing for a week or two. The experience (knowing how to fit ships or how to fight, or see a market trend developing) is something you will miss out on, but it is easily made up. As long as you set a skill training, you are, at the very least getting yourself in a position to do well, if not necessarily actually doing well.
Welcome to SPSH! That is a great photo for the window theme. Well it is a great photo even without the theme. Nice work!
I’ve got something like this in our front garden. It bears berries, but not so many yet. It’s our first winter in our new house so I’m excited about what to expect in our winter garden.
Happy Saturday

I think the mole would have been interesting!
That sure is one bushy bush *grin* About the mole… It probably would’ve been a unique take on the theme
Mine’s up too.
What kind of berries are they?
I love the picture. Definitely thriving and growing. Makes me think of Christmas with the green leaves and red berries. Welcome to the hunt.
Well, I am glad not to see the mole — and I hope it doesn’t “grow!”
Nice picture of “growth!”
Great photo!
Welcome to the Saturday Photo Hunt!
Jenny: Actually, I have no idea what kind of berries those are. I found the bush next to a mini-golf course near my house as I was taking a walk last night.
Thanks for the nice comments everybody.
Great choice for the theme!
Such a festive bush…my mother has a couple growing beside her house but I don’t know what they are either.
Good shot!

Merry Christmas!!!!!!!
On September 1, it was time to get the oil changed, so our account owner took the Freedom Account checkbook to the place she always has her oil changed, wrote out check #101 to Jiffy Lube for $19.95, wrote the entry into the subaccount book when she got home, and did the substraction to come with a new balance of $236.05. Regular monthly deposits occurred again on September 5 and October 5, bringing the new balance to $364.05. Have you ever noticed how car trouble seems to come in waves?
From “Debt-Proof Living” by Mary Hunt. Great book on budgeting maybe a better way.
And here I thought that I might of found a location in which to purchase cocai I mean “salt lines”. j/k

You can’t get rid of the cygwin1.dll in the system32 folder from the command line using erase, I guess erase doesn’t see files marked as system.
“As Socrates revealed the depth of his wisdom by doubting that he knew much, Franklin showed how numble he was by second-guessing his humility. A wry smile must have curled Franklin’s lips as he wrote ‘imitate Jesus and Socrates.’ The apparently simple injunction contained a hidden assumption: that Jesus and Socrates modeled the same life of virtue, or at least two complementary visions of that life.”

Good work! I have ARM compiler, which wouldn’t start. Finally it began work after remove original c:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll and move to this place cygwin1.dll from enviroment of ARM compiler (c:\gnuarm\bin). It was made for compiler need extra entry points into cygwin1.dll which original system DLL hasn’t.
It was very easy follow your information. Thanks!

Great shot. You have some nice photos here.
Thanks!
That is a great sign to have captured and the sci-fi theme is what immediately came to mind. Actually that is the theme of many Sci-fi stories, including some William Gibson and “Total Recall”, and there are a few others that I can’t remember the name of at the moment.
Wow! Memories for sale! Half off too! I’ll be right over – hopefully they have me and my classmates from my 6th grade class.
lol
Great choice.
Cool idea!
Great photo choice! And to think I paid full price for my memories.
Write the sci-fi, even if it has been done, yours will be different. My first Photo hunt is up. Have a great day.
I laughed so hard reading that!! Love your interpretation of Memory. What luck to see that sign. Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend.

I am literally shaking, I am soo scared of the inside of a computer!!! This was frightening! lol…good choice for Photo Hunt! Mines up, please visit
I was a little nervous while I was taking it apart, but I figured that I couldn’t break it much worse. And it helped that I had seen my friend Drew take apart my computer once before, so I had some idea of what I was supposed to do.
But yeah. There’s nothing to be afraid of inside a computer, as long as you remember to unplug it.
That totally stinks about your lapStop! Eek. But, it did make some some great pix this week!

So small but does so much.

Wow, talk about learning by doing! Brave soul you. Do you now know everything there is to know about the inside of your computer?
frustrating in the extreme!!
Never knew the inner workings of “technology” were so colorful. An hour and a half just to take it apart? How long to put it back together?
Great find, sure beats the faded green almost-dinosaurs at our old putt-putt.
Not as long, actually. It was actually easier to put it back together than to get it all apart.
WinXP – Can’t delete it? Here’s how.
- Reboot in Safe Mode
- Start > Run… > cmd (hit enter). Then in the command line, type:
- cd c:\windows\system32
- attrib cyg*.dll -s -h
- del cyg*.dll
That worked for me at least
Like everyone else has said: Thank you! I just came across this problem myself, and even after deleting a bunch of erroneous cygwin1.dll files (lots of random programs seem to have their own version), I was still hitting this error. I found the cygwin1.dll file in system32, but even after making sure that I hadn’t accidently switched to Idiot Mode, the file was still hidden – good call, Microsoft, users really don’t need to see their files! Maybe Vista can come with an automatic rootkit and save all the hacker/crackers the trouble?
Anyway, thanks Melissa A, your message solved my problem.
I’ve heard of this…but don’t know what it is…is it like a computer?
It’s a video game console. It comes with a game called Wii Sports that lets you and up to four friends play golf, bowling, boxing, tennis, or baseball.
In addition to that, you can use it to access the internet, check the weather and the news, and some other stuff. Video game consoles are a sort of computer, but they’re very specialized, designed mainly to play games.
I never thought of this type of ‘gross’
Little brothers are often gross.
That reminds me of a friend’s first trip to the United States from France. We were all talking and someone said, “That’s gross!” Chantal immediately said, “I don’t understand – 144?”
YES! This is what I wanted to do, but I have nothing that’s 144..unless I want to arrange my cheerios. Great take on the theme.
Quite a difference from most the photos this morning! Although – the paint left behing by those BB could be gross! As well as any bruises! I’ve got my first SPH up. Check it out!
Great take on the theme. Cool picture, too.
Very clever.
LOL, that was cute, great use of imagination there! My very first photo hunt is HERE, stop by if you can!

I thought about it, but didn’t have a gross of anything lying around. Great idea! I hope he has fun. 
My photo is up
I’m glad we are starting to see some pictures of this sort of gross. I just couldn’t be bothered to find 144 of anything. Happy weekend.
I saw these and almost bought some but wasn’t sure about them. SO, they are good and fun, huh? I may have to get some… it seems they are the new things over BB’s… Ya’ll shoot them at each other? Ouch.
Smarty-Pants!! 144 right? Good job.
I don’t shoot them, but my brother seems to enjoy it.
Jeremy, you’re trying to use Word for all the wrong things bro… It’s not meant to be a design tool and definitely not meant to be a source code editor LOL! Word is best at things like technical documents, invoices, papers, books, tables, charts etc… it’s got a lot of business/collaboration features that you would probably never want to use but none the less are very useful for many people in the “real world”… you make a big mistake trying to compare it to InDesign and notepad, not the same thing at all!

Do you like the controllers?
Hey everyone,
The above all was good. One extra step was required after issuing the commands thomas suggested. Go to C: -> WINDOWS -> system3 and you can now see the cyg files. Right click -> Properties -> uncheck read-only. Now re-issue the commands given by thomas:
”
- Start > Run… > cmd (hit enter). Then in the command line, type:
- cd c:\windows\system32
- attrib cyg*.dll -s -h
- del cyg*.dll

My ex-husband is a ham radio operator. He found some giant tubes at a junk place and sold them for $50 each back in the 70′s when radio enthusiasts were using them to amplify their ham signals. One night he was in the college lab and got his hands across them with a significant electric charge… had to go to the ER. Hmmmm. Come to think of it, perhaps that is where he started going wrong.
Haven’t seen these in a long time.
Excellent photo: but you got me chuckling with your caption. In fact, I had to check out your porfile to see how old you are! I am buying any tubes I see at flea markets, etc. Not going out of my way, just picking them up for you youngsters to look at so they can see the evolution of their computers! Have a wonderful week!
Very neat!! Great take on antique!!
LOL! Yessssss indeeeeedy! You must be a young one!
Are those lightbulbs?
I might have seen them in an old tuner player.
I have seen this before but I just can’t recall where they used it for. Am not even sure if this is a lightbulb or a fuse.

Which RadioShack antenna model did you take? Have you checked with AntennaWeb how many broadcasts are available in your area? How many of them you can pull in with RadioShack?
just wondering …. personally, I am a fan of terk antennas in good to moderate hd signal strength, and winegard antennas when the reception is really tough …
We got Radio Shack’s Model #15-1892. It’s out of stock online, but might be available locally in your store.
We can pull in ten stations: NBC, NBC-2, CBS, CBS-2, FOX, FOX-2, MYCW, ETV, ETV-2, and ETV-3.
NBC-2, CBS-2, and FOX-2 are all weather stations.
It works really well for my area.

I chuckled. Here, I always visualize Episcopalian churchs are a tad Gothic. Very beautiful but usually very identifiable. But most denominations are I guess. I’d love to see the overhead view of the church you found (and the inside). It’s fascinating how architecture is beginning to mirror the changes in liturgy now.
That certainly is a very unusual Episcopalian church, it’s beautiful! Have a wonderful day:-) xox
Glad I could help!
Youre right! What a beautiful church! I bet its lovely inside! My photo is up, please visit soon

If they spent 6 hours praying, they would be called fanatics. But would to God we would be fanatics for Him. I am guilty of too much time in the blogosphere- some days. I see it as one of those things where good things replace the best things.
Many public places could use a sign like that. Just add a period at the end of “undergarments”.
If someone spent 6 hours a day in continuous prayer (as opposed to an attitude of prayer) every day, they would either be a professional Christian and could spend that length of time, or not of any use to God nor man.
Thanks a bunch.

I guess it would depend on whether the general population did the same thing of splitting portions in half.
I think french fry portions are way too big, and a “medium” drink at some places is the size of what a “giant” used to be. Plus there is the 700+ calorie shakes at Chick-Fil-A which I wish were 1/2 to 1/3 that size.
Good point. Dessert portions do tend towards being huge. Personally, I think that the small Frosty at Wendy’s needs to be about the kid’s size.
And that’s definitely true about French Fries. Those don’t reheat well, so you can’t split them over multiple meals, and they are pretty addictive. It’s hard to have just a few fries when they’re sitting there, waiting to be eaten.
I agree! I’ve often wondered why stores that do not allow skateboards and roller blades allow kids to careen around in wheelies.

Sing That iTune is a dashboard widget that does that. It is supposed to automatically put the lyrics into your song’s info window. I know it used to do that,but I had an old version and because of your post, I have FINALLY upgraded. I hope it works. There used to be a couple of other widgets that did this. Back in the days of early widgets.
sorry: 2 comments are poor form. It worked quickly. I don’t know if I have to each time, but it worked after I double clicked the face of the widget, which I did out of frustration because nothing seemed to be working. It could’ve been working but there was no little thing telling me it was working. But I now have lyrics and they are in the lyric field on the iTunes info window.
It looks like I’ve found a similar solution for Windows, a Yahoo Widget called iTunes Companion. There’s a more recent version on the Widget website (http://homepage.mac.com/knut/iTunes_Companion/home.html). It seems to work pretty well.
I still wish that Apple would just include lyrics and all other metadata in their database. But this is almost as good.
Actually, scratch that. The lyrics this widget turns up tend to be full of misspellings and errors. No good.
I just want a central database of accurate song lyrics, approved by the artists and/or publishers of the music that I’m listening to. I want iTunes to connect to that database and automagically get any lyrics that I’m missing. Are you listening Apple?
Cool. Thanks for sharing, JD. Another approach to this would be to use the after_create hook of the Todo model and perform your same logic there. You could implement this as a plugin that would live in your vendor/plugins directory. That would save yourself merging issues later.
Cheers from NYC,

Thanks for the review, Jeremy! I use FileZilla now too and I’m looking for something with more smarts.
What I really want is a standalone version of what most IDEs have. I want to develop on my local computer, get all the files working the way I want, and then have it show me which ones are changed relative to the remote site. I want to hit one button and either move all those changed files up to the server (or do the reverse and overwrite my local ones if I’ve messed up and I want to go back).
The secure transfer would be awesome (but not required).
Anyone know of a product that does this? (I’m happy with using Xemacs for my editor and I don’t want to use Eclipse or any other IDE.)
Maria
I don’t know of a product like that, but that would be really cool.
One idea would be to use Subversion. You could set up a subversion repository on your own web site’s host, then check out the repository on your PC. After you’ve made the changes you want, you could commit them to the repository, then check them out on the host machine of your client. The client’s host machine would update whatever files you had changed.
This depends, of course, on your client’s web host letting you check out subversion repositories on their machines.
Ooh. That’s probably a good idea. I need to go back to my book and figure out how to do that now.

I’m glad my Bible doesn’t teach such. So properly distinguish between sound Bible teaching / interpretation and opinion and emotional illustrations that have no basis in scripture. There were multiple errors preached in that sermon, but those don’t change the Bible. You do have to realize that individual men will get it wrong sometimes, but that doesn’t negate the Bible. Then there is also a place for longsuffering with a brother whose intentions might be good, but is not well trained or has just gotten it wrong one a particular point. Hang in there when a sermon is preached that you disagree with. Use it for an opportunity to study it out and let the Bible speak.

Obama is definitely a charismatic personality and a terrific speaker. And I agree that it would be great to have a real inspirational leader in the White House.
But I’d like to know, “Yes we can…what?” Are you considering voting for Obama DESPITE his position on things like immigration, taxes, gay marriage, terrorism, or BECAUSE of it? Besides his charisma and decision not to campaign on fear and anger, which positions do you agree with?
I like his position on separation of church and state.
I like the fact that he opposes further wars in the Middle East, and that he supports rapid withdrawal from Iraq.
I like the idea of getting universal health insurance, like civilized countries.
His position on immigration, as stated on his website, seems imminently reasonable.
Since I think that the government ought not to be in the business of discriminating against people based on their sexual orientation, I’m for gay marriage.
On the other hand, I’m not a fan of his positions on gun control or abortion. But, you can’t have everything you want.
J.D.,
Thanks for the very thoughtful response. Just a few questions and comments…
“I like his position on separation of church and state.”
Are you familiar with the founding fathers’ views on the separation of church and state? Most of them would be vehemently opposed to our modern application of the doctrine.
“I like the fact that he opposes further wars in the Middle East, and that he supports rapid withdrawal from Iraq.”
If he opposes wars of imperialism, I agree. If he opposes wars of self-defense, I disagree. I’ve found that in many cases, the more liberal the politician, the more likely they are to downplay our need for a strong defense. Remember Bill Clinton and his famous “I loath the military” quote. Many politicians are “against war” and “in favor of peace.” Who wouldn’t be? But that’s a very naive position which ignores some very real threats to our freedom. As bad as war is, I’m very glad we stood up, militarily, to someone like Hitler. I believe in diplomacy, but when diplomacy fails, we need more than group hugs and kumbaya.
“I like the idea of getting universal health insurance, like civilized countries.”
I would love universal health insurance too, but provided by the government? No thanks. Whatever the government pays for, they control. They can tell you which doctor to go to. They can tell you when you can go to the doctor and what procedures to have. Sort of like insurance companies, but many times worse. In Canada, with their “single payer” (government) system, elective surgery means long waits, sometimes years. Every cold and flu season brings TV commercials asking people to please not go to the emergency room unless they are really sick. With the shortcomings of our health care system, it’s still the best in the world. Government health care = rationed health care.
“His position on immigration, as stated on his website, seems imminently reasonable.”
Including his stated support for drivers licenses for illegal aliens?
“Since I think that the government ought not to be in the business of discriminating against people based on their sexual orientation, I’m for gay marriage.”
If you believe that marriage comes from the government, I agree with you. If you believe marriage is an institution created by God, then I suppose He should get to make the rules.
By the way, should the government discriminate against polygamists? Or, should it prohibit the marriage of a consenting brother and sister? Or, a mother and adult son? Or three men and a baby? All of those are illegal in the US. Should it be legal for a man to marry his favorite farm animal, as long as the farm animal agrees, of course?
On the other hand, I’m not a fan of his positions on gun control or abortion. But, you can’t have everything you want.
Thanks for mentioning a couple of issues we can completely agree on!
Not everyone believes that taking the life of a baby who was conceived 9 months ago, and is partly delivered and healthy, is murder, but if you do, wouldn’t it be hard to vote for someone in favor of that? Obama is a supporter of keeping partial birth abortion legal. By the way, he has also proposed banning all civilian semi-automatic weapons.
Hey, thanks for commenting. I was getting worried that no one was reading this thing.
RE: Separation of church and state: The positions of our founding fathers varied nearly as much as we do today. Patrick Henry was strongly Christian and for a Christian-influenced government, while Thomas Jefferson and Thomas Paine wanted a more secular government.
I also think that the country is much more religiously diverse than it was in the days of the founding fathers. Even if separation of church and state, as we interpret it today, was not quite what they intended when they wrote the Constitution, I think that it’s an important and useful doctrine. The government should absolutely not be in the practice of telling the citizens what to believe about God.
Now, I think the ACLU takes things too far. The cause of religious freedom is not harmed by a Christmas display in a public park. But I think that it’s important to say that this is a nation governed by law, not by the Bible. Having the Ten Commandments, a dual symbol of religion and justice, outside of a courthouse sends a mixed message (unless the commandments are flanked by the Code of Hammurabi and other examples of ancient justice).
Because even if we wanted a Christian nation, governed by the Bible, you’d have to pick an interpretation of the Bible. Do we run the country under the Catholic interpretation or the Baptist one or even the Mormon one? Even then, we don’t want the government to say “This is what the citizens should believe.”
RE: War. I do agree that a strong military is important. And there’s no question that the American military outclasses every other military in the world.
The problem is that the military is, like most other government entities, pretty wasteful. We dedicate something like half of our federal budget to the military, and I think that if we need to cut social programs that we also need to consider cutting off the less effective programs in the military.
Now, we could get into a debate as to whether or not Iraq was a genuine threat to our freedom. I thought it was as we went in, based on the evidence Colin Powell presented to the UN, but I’m not as sure now. Regardless, we’ve eliminated it as a potential threat, and we need to get our troops out as soon as we can without letting some Taliban-like group take over.
I think that we use the club of the military too often. I think it’s important to use the military on real threats (e.g., Hitler), but that we need to be more careful in selecting targets. Is Iran really a threat to the United States right now? And would war really fix the problem there, or would it make things worse?
Re: Health Insurance: I disagree. I think that corporations can be a lot worse than the government in terms of oppressiveness. As you say, the insurance industry already tells you what doctors you can see and what procedures they’ll pay for. The government is accountable to the people, at least in theory. If they’re doing a bad job with health care, then the people will remove the governors and replace them with new governors. The insurance industry is accountable to the shareholders, and then only to make more money, which they get by not paying out as many claims. The incentive structure is all wrong.
The Canadian system is actually a nationalized health *insurance* system. Doctors are free to open practices where they want to and to do whatever procedures they need to. In fact, having only one health insurance company to deal with simplifies the doctor’s lives immensely, and they have more time to deal with patients. (Or, so I’ve been told.)
I’ve heard good and bad about the wait times for care, but I don’t know if it’s worse than our current system.
Re: Driver’s Licenses for Illegal Aliens: Why not? They’re driving anyway. Wouldn’t it be better to identify them than not to? Even if the end goal is to round them all up and deport them (which I vehemently oppose on both moral and financial grounds), it would be a lot simpler if we knew who and where the illegal aliens are.
Re: The Government and Marriage: I think that as long as all the parties are consenting adults, the government should step out of the way. This eliminates bestiality, because there is no way for an animal to consent, and it eliminates anything involving children.
In truth, I think that the government ought not to be giving licenses for marriage at all. It’s too much of a quasi-religious issue; it’s part of my position on separation of church and state. Let people marry whomever they think is right–as long as they are consenting adults.
Our social mores already oppose polygamy and incest. I don’t think we need the government to enforce those rules.
Re: Abortion & Obama: I think that, as a practical matter, the only thing that’s going to completely criminalize abortion is a constitutional amendment. There is little that the President can do to prevent abortion. I mean, George W. Bush is strongly opposed to abortion, and yet it still stands legal.
I’d rather to vote on what the candidate can affect rather than what he can’t.
Re: Gun Control: Let me play the Devil’s Advocate: What do law-abiding civilians need with semi-automatic weapons? How many people walk down the streets of America carrying AK-47′s?
Certainly, the criminals won’t obey the laws against semi-automatic weapons, but arming the law-abiding citizens with AK-47′s rather than with pistols seems like a way of escalating bloodshed and damage rather than keeping it down.
“As you might imagine, this greatly reduces overhead and waste for the doctors, who no longer have to deal with dozens of different insurance companies and who no longer have to argue with an insurance company to convince them to pay for their patients’ care.”
Not really. Just reduces services. You now have one insurance company who decides what to pay for, and instead of price rationing health care , the rationing is done by central planners.
So you may or may not be covered for what you would be with a private program, and if you are not covered for a treatment by public healthcare or you are covered but treatment is not available in the public system, seeking treatment in Canada with your resources is illegal. You have to go to another country to secure services, and people do.

Hi Jeremy
So, did you ever figure out how to get iTunes video to play on your n800? I bought one and had the same question…
Thanks,

Yes but that does not answer the question, I am sure barely any kids know that!!
I’m afraid not, although I haven’t really tried to get it to work either.
It doesn’t look like it is possible to do this with SFTP. Is there a free alternative to sftpdrive?
One that runs through SFTP? Possibly, but I don’t know about it.
You are mistaken. By no means is it illegal to seek private health care. In fact, if you read the article I linked to in the original post, you’ll discover that there are still some private health insurers in Canada that cover whatever gaps the public system has.
(Sorry that your comment got stuck in moderation for so long!)
thanks much, bro
I agree. We could actually do this with people too. Spray everyone with pest(people)icide. 1-2% actually survive because they have some genetic make up that is in the population that was previously unknown (nobody ever sprayed us before). Lets also say that this trait is correlated with black hair. These “purified” form of humans go on to have babies with similar genetic code. Depending on whether it is a dominant or regressive trait, the population has a greater or lesser % of people with the pesticide / black hair trait. Keep spraying them repeatedly until the everyone has black hair and is immune to the pesticide. Since the pesticide is organic based and is no longer deleterious someone tries eating it and whoo hoo, it tastes good! With respect to pesticides there is a positive change, but with respect to hair color it has reduced variation in the population. All you really have done is to change the environment such that it stomps out some genotypes in comparison to other genotypes.
