Christian Graus wrote: You don't believe in God because people are ignorant ? Kind of says it for me :) It's not that I don't believe in GOD. I don't believe in any higher power. There is no need to because we, as a human race, have proven time and time again that we cannot handle it. I don't know if we are simply not ready for it, or if is really meant to be more of a test to see in the end who was a follower and who was not. We are in control of our own destiny, to do what we think is right and to say what we think is right. I don't need a higher power to tell me what is right and what is wrong. Look what organized religion does to people. It is way to easily twisted into various perverse ideals that do nothing but force those apart that it was supposed to bring together. It separates the haves from the have nots, the 'good' from the 'bad', the mighty from the weak, and the believers from the non-believers. We as HUMANS don't need anything else to point out our differences, what we need is something that makes those differences invisible. The largest problem with most highly religious people are that they never see the forest for the trees. Most (if not all) of them miss completely what religion IS for what it APPEARS to be. They loose the fact that religion was supposed to be the ultimate power that can turn everyone into an equal, break down any barrier, and allow us to live in peace. Instead it ends up turning us in to a race of stone throwers and name callers. A race of high-brow religious bigots that slowly become willing to strap C4 to our chest and walk into a crowded shopping mall, or equally so not allow our children to play with the Jewish next door neighbor.

Can you really ignore such idiots? The way I see it, this guy is no different from Usama bin Laden or Hitler. They hate(d) because of the oppinion expressed by others. It's one thing to hate someone else because of his/hers acts, I can relate to that. But to hate someone for his/hers oppinion/beliefs/religion? That's just not right and it shouldn't be ignored. For instance, I hate1 my neighbours above me. They never know when to shut up. At 3 am it's perfectly ok to make a lot of noise. But I couldn't care less about their religion. Now, if I ignore them, I won't be able to sleep. So I (re)act by slamming the water pipes. That usually gets through their thick skulls and they settle down a little. 1 Ok, maybe it's not hate. It's not like I would go up there and kill them. However, I'm tempted to make a LOT of noise at 5 am in the morning to wake them up. Unfortunately, that'll backfire when my other neighbours wake up.. :) -- There's a new game we like to play you see. A game with added reality. You treat me like a dog, get me down on my knees.

Jörgen Sigvardsson wrote: Then nothing will happen...!? The cone on a speaker serves only to move a volume of air back and forth as the coil and driver magnet (there are a couple of variatins on the theme). In this application you want the driving force to move the ceiling panel itself - simply attaching the whole speaker to the panel will not transfer enough energy into the next space above. They used to make a thing call a 'driver' that was a coneless speaker with a lag screw for attaching it directly to the walls of your house, and advertised it as a way to "turn your own walls into huge speakers." Connecting the two moving parts of the device to the ceiling causes the panel to flex, in effect, becoming the missing cone, but projecting much more energy into the room above. Of course there is the slight risk that you'll happen onto the natural resonant frequency of the building, with spectacular results... Try to have a video camera available to record the event if it happens.:-D Nobody wants to read a diary by someone who has not seen the shadow of Bubba on the prison shower wall in front of them!

KaЯl wrote: the mummy who lives above him Isn't that a bit of a contradiction? A woofer with no cone is a speaker made for low frequency operation, with the paper cone cut away. This reduces it to a coil and driver plate or magnet, and a frame with an attached ring magnet. The relative motion of these two parts, which would normally move air within the room by means of the cone, is applied to the ceiling panel instead, causing it to become the cone.

Yes, but you missed the point entirely. The analogy is an excellent one. Ray Cassick wrote: The problem with religion is that it tries to lead, and sometimes by very poor example. Yes, and sometimes people who play sport also approach it badly. The difference is that they get weeded out, religions just form around new ideas. But by taking the worst of those ideas, which surely indicate human failing, how can that be a judgement on God ? Ray Cassick wrote: anyway, is this not what you have done to VB developers, and the language itself ? No, I base my opinion of VB on the VB programmers I have met, and even more so my own exposure to the language. If I am not kidding around, I'll admit there is a minority who write usable code in VB, despite the language.
