-Demosthenes-

I don't think anyone can believe in science anymore than we can prove that God exists. Religion and science are two separate domains of thinking that can be completely compatable. However, Anybody who blames either of religion or science of being the cause of some huge social problem probably isn't seeing the big picture and probably should try not being so intolerant.

 

64 words.. bo yah.

If I had 64 more words to use, these would be it.

There are two reasons an individual will be religious: faith, or the need to belong. These who do not actually have faith, merely need to belong and defend a belief because it is part of a social construct that they value. These individuals are close minded, argumentative, intolerant of other beliefs, and sometimes violent. It is these people who destroy the credibility and the beauty of the idea of Religion.

Gaming, for one. Two, compatibility with school stuff. Three, Sibelius. Four, software. ITunes for me as well.

 

Plus I just don't have the time to fiddle around with switching totally to Linux.

There is a lot of time involved.

Not that I know of. and about the channel -- under "wireless" it does say "wireless channel" but the drop down menu is empty . (it shows it on channel 6 under the "settings" tab, if that means anything).

Any new networks around you, like from a neighbor?

2 others that I can periodically detect.

Following a suggestion I disabled the Wireless Zero Config service in Windows XP earlier today, and I have not had any of the poor connections or periodic cut-offs since.

I'll try that.

ooh,That would be bad. Is there a way to test for that? I think I'll put it right by the router and see what signal it gets.

I've had this problem twice before when having duel boot linux and windows. Those two kids just don't get along sometimes. Never had any problem with windows by itself. Never really tried linux by itself since windows is an absolute necessity for me.

Mine work fine together. On different partitions they really con't mess each other up too much.

Stupid windows, if there was something other than itunes that used podcasts well, and I could compile my programs for my computer classes on Linux I wouldn't even have windows.

Why do you need windows (both bluenoise and OP)?

Yeah, me too. I thought it was completely true, I totally believed it. It's just like congress.

3 made of studs and dry wall. Or just one if it goes down the hall . I'd run a cord, but that ALWAYS ends badly at my house.

And it was working well for a good month before it started getting horrible connections.

I just barely found some cammands that would do this (cout.fill('0') and setw(2)), thanks for your help!

for an example' date=' take Naruto. it's a very popular anime that has been out for a few years, and is not even half finished (the dubbed version is also one of the worst i have ever heard).

the main concepts are:

- loneliness is the worst kind of pain.

- pain makes people stronger (due to the determination it gives them to escape that pain).

- evil is better than nothing.

- true strength comes from trying to protect someone you care about.[/quote']

 

Gaara (one of the characters showing some of the concepts you mentioned) seems to be an analysis of the reason why people are evil/do evil things. Is it the environment, or is it something inside of you? What else should be mentioned is the destiny vs. free will plot (Neji plot). You can find these deep concepts that are comparable to those found in classic literature.

My wireless card on my PC was working great for a while, but for about a month it's been getting a "low" connection and it periodically cuts out altogether. I've updated the drivers, no difference. It has the same responce when I boot into Ubuntu, so I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the environment. What could be messing up my connection? What can I do to optimize a wireless connection?

I have a program where you type in the start and end times of a trip, and supposing that the trip should take 25% less time, it displays the new end time. The new end time is split between hours and minutes in integer form. If the hours has only one digit (or the minutes) then the time will only be in 3 digits (or two if both are only one digit). And this does not work with hhmm military time (the kind I am using).

So, simply put, can I get an integer to display always as a two digit number in C++?

Tell me if you have no idea what I'm talking about, here's the code:

#include <cstdlib>

#include <iostream>

#include <stdio.h>

#include <stdlib.h>

 

using namespace std;

 

int main()

{

string time1;

string hours1;

string minutes1;

 

cout << "Enter start time in standard 24 hour time\n";

cout << "in form hhmm: ";

 

cin >> time1;

hours1 = time1.substr(0,2);

minutes1 = time1.substr(2,2);

 

int ihours1 = atoi((char*)hours1.c_str());

int iminutes1 = atoi((char*)minutes1.c_str());

 

int totalMin1 = ihours1 * 60 + iminutes1;

 

// integer totalmin1 have total minutes for start time

 

string time2;

string hours2;

string minutes2;

 

cout << "Enter end time in standard 24 hour time\n";

cout << "in form hhmm: ";

 

cin >> time2;

hours2 = time2.substr(0,2);

minutes2 = time2.substr(2,2);

 

int ihours2 = atoi((char*)hours2.c_str());

int iminutes2 = atoi((char*)minutes2.c_str());

 

int totalMin2 = ihours2 * 60 + iminutes2;

 

// integer totalmin2 have total minutes for end time

 

double minTimeDiff = totalMin2 - totalMin1;

const double PER = 0.75;

int newMinTimeDiff = minTimeDiff * PER;

int newMinEndTime = totalMin1 + newMinTimeDiff;

 

int newHHEndTime = newMinEndTime / 60;

int newMMEndTime = newMinEndTime % 60;

 

cout << "The new end time is: ";

cout << newHHEndTime << newMMEndTime << endl;

 

system("PAUSE");

return EXIT_SUCCESS;

}

EDIT: You know what happens when no one responds... I'll figure it out eventually. You can use cout.fill('0') and setw() to do this.

Others like DBZ is more for corny thrills and cool affects, like a Martial Arts film.

Not even! Dragan Ball had an amazing story, and Dragon Ball Z after that was even better. Dragon Ball GT was horrible though, it was exactly as you say "more for corny thrills and cool affects."

Have you seen American TV? Sitcoms are the same twelve stories told over and over again (maybe thirteen), TV news is stupid, and American Cartoons are either mind numbingly boring, or when they aren't boring they have profanity in them (I still love Futurama).

PS: J-Pop is just as boring as American Pop.

This seems promising: http://www.simulationexams.com/, first hit on google (there seem to be many).

Where do you take the A+ certification exam?

The college I go to offers certifications for Programming and Network Administration (working on programming, all the classes required are needed for my degree anyway ). So you can check at a local college I suppose. I know w3 schools offers "certification" tests you can get on the net, doesn't sound very good though. I don't know much else beyond that.

Can't really answer your question, but what sort of speeds are you getting using Torpark? When testing it the other day, it was extremely slow - not worth the hassle.

Very slow, especially when on windows (doesn't seem to work very well with my wireless card). So even with a good connections it's slow, with a bad one, it's painful.

I saw something (on Digg? I don't remember) about "Torpark," but I forgot about it. Later I looked it up, and I downloaded it. I'm using it right now, it routes your traffic through servers randomly (tor or onion servers or something like that) and it makes your browsing difficult or immpossible to trace.

I was wondering who exactly it hides your browsing from. I don't particularly care what people can see from here, from the comptuer, but what can your ISP see? I mean I like the idea of the ISP not knowing what I'm doing, but is that all it does? Is there a similar torrent client (sounds kinda stupid and slow, but is it possible ) ?

Why not just talk to people? If you currently don't care what they think, why not talk to them when the opportunity arises and not worry about what they think?

Speaking for myself, and simply to dispell a possible misconception, I am very proud to be associated with the Founding Toms (Jefferson and Paine) and other Luminaries of the Englightenment.

 

In their case, Deist could simply be a polite euphemism for a certain kind of Atheism (reverence for the Laws of Nature)

I realize the value in the association between Atheism and Deism -- it can "validate" Atheism. But I don't think Atheism needs to be validated, it's valid enough on it's own.

Not to mention the illogical "similarities" between Deism (for which the main belief is that there IS a God) and Atheism (for which the main belief is that there IS NOT a God). A Deist (from the word "Deity" or God) believes that there is a God. How can a believer in God be an Atheist?

It's hard to say, since there wasn't really any explicit public discussion about it. Jefferson and Franklin can safely be said to be at least non-Christian, or "Christian" in a very unorthodox way (that is, not believing in the divinity of Jesus). Pretty much all of them were Freemasons, an organization dedicated to benevolent and naturalistic search for truth. More relevantly, they were Deists, meaning they believed in some kind of supreme, governing power, but not in miracles or any kind of divine revelation.

 

From the Wikipedia article on Deism:

 

"In America, Deists played a major role in creating the principle of separation of church and state, and the religious freedom clauses of the First Amendment of the Constitution. American Deists include John Quincy Adams, Ethan Allen, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and (by most accounts) George Washington. Thomas Paine published The Age of Reason, a treatise that helped to popularize deism throughout America and Europe."

I don't know if Atheists would like being confused with Deists

I don't really know where the zip code would be unless it was associated with a city... but with Google Earth I can mark the zip code boundries and overlay an image showing the sections! This should work. Hey thanks Ecoli, I was getting really frustrated for a while and you helped me.

Google Earth seems to be able to display the borders, but doesn't show the numbers. Does anyone know a lot about this? Is there a way to see the zip codes along with the borders?

I think that there are some areas that governed directly by the county?
