Interesting comment in hindsight - over 6 years on and Windows is still very strong. Vista is becoming available and a lot of people will be making the switch. I tried Linux a few months back and as far as I can see it still isn't suitable as a home or desktop system yet. I don't have the time to learn how to fiddle about with the settings in order to get something to work that just plugs and plays on Windows. I spent a fair few days trying to figure out how to get a network card to work before I gave up and reinstalled windows. Linux will improve, but it still has a long way to go before it becomes generally acceptable as a desktop operating system.

    Well, I usually don't like to participate in political debates but I have to say couple of words. First of all I'm living in Israel so I'm pretty diverts. I don't think that the blame is on Israel or on Palestinians. I do think that as every crisis the blame can be split equally between the two parties. I also thing that most of the palatinates and Israeli people just want to live their life peacefully, but there are small groups of extremes that knows how to keep the fire up. Any way I think that no one that lives here (Israel) can really understand what goes here. You can't understand such a conflict from 50,000 feet view. It's like Don Box that from 50,000 view throughout that COM is great solution but down from the ground it looks completely different.... :-)

    Just a check here. Creationists do not believe that God is continueally creating things. God created the world with laws so they could be followed. Miracles are rare -- that's why they are called miracles. The normal way of things is that there is a natural explanation for things. That is exactly why Bible-believing people began the study of science. My reading of current evolutionary theory is that it remains largely consistent, with problems relating to the lack of fossil records for 'intermediaries' (there are some, but not as many as expected), and in the failure to find a 'trigger' that can create 'life' from 'organic matter'. These are important details, but are NOT considered either insurmountable or contradictory to the established theory. These are therefore the areas of continuing development. My belief is that research into these areas will yield answers eventually, and therefore validate evolution. That hasn't happened yet, and the theory may have to 'adjust' as the evidence arrives. I would reject any portrayal of evolution as being 'fatally flawed', or 'doomed' - it is, as expected, evolving!! Well, similar things could be said about the Creation viewpoint. I haven't found any evidence which has no possible logical explanation from the creationist model (without constantly resorting to miracles as you seem to think we do). You'd say (have said) the same thing about evolution, so this one isn't going to get us anywhere specific. _http://www.skepticfriends.org/hoax4.htm http://www.csun.edu/~vcgeo005/revised8.htm_ Hmmm... I wish I understood this better, but from what I can tell it sounds like a reasonable explanation. (A reasonably diligent search through Google didn't find any good or bad reviews of the information in those articles, so I'm on my own here.) But, if Gentry was right, I would have wondered if the only reason God did that was to confuse evolutionists. *shrugs* Anyway, there is plenty of other evidence to use. That was just one I'd run into recently. And at this point I feel that we can go no further - if the links I have provided are not enough to convince you that the biblical flood could only have happened with supernatural assistance, then I can do no more. Uh, I must not have explained it well enough. :-O Yes, it is very likely that miracles were involved in the Flood. In fact, moving all of the animals into the ark was one of the things that were almost definitely a miracle. HOWEVER, if the Flood did happen, the evidence is sti

    Why, was that brought up? Well, I've seen the movie endlessly (young daughter ... please you've got to believe me), and Ginger uses the word "compromisation" when trying to resolve a dispute between band magaement and a group of semi-naked male Italian dancers. Just seemed to fit, for some reason ;P ;P ;P ----------------------- The sermon on the mount... Man 1 : Hear that? Blessed are the greek. Man 2 : The greek?

    The user interface is important. You should investigate user interfaces best suited to your program and your users. Then you can decide on a tool that provides the UI you want. If you do not know the principles behind good user interface design, then you may produce a bad user interface no matter what tool you use.

    Emails should be getting sent to your address. I've checked the article and everything's set up as it should be. Each monday when the newsletter is sent out there is sometimes a lag while the email backlog is sorted, so maybe this is the problem. cheers, Chris Maunder (CodeProject)
