Was that any different than your response here: http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/3785093/Re-Ever-wonder-if-the-media-thinks-for-itself.aspx[^] ? (Except that Ian only used one emoticon and you used three...)

Was your initial point with the link that all of the media sources had the same article? It's called an AP story that everyone just picked up on.

Ah...I found out where they're getting their statistics. It's by people installing their toolbar. Then, when you visit a site, it records it. So, all it's really saying is that low-income, childless men are disproportionately installing their toolbar.

Interestingly, it also says that relative to the general internet population that those without college and those with some college are under-represented while those with a college degree and those with a graduate degree are over represented. So, it they're saying that we're low-income, then does that mean that the site assumes that those without a college education make more than those with a graduate degree? How do they determine that we're low-income?

I don't know...he posted something at 2pm on the 8th, but nothing since. I just can't seem to find out what time the shooting happened... Strong possibility that they're one and the same...or maybe just close friends.

It's been tried before. He even got to the point where he started his own group on here to post his crap: (The Truthbox[^]) Amazingly, he still apparently posts everything he writes there as well, even though no one follows it. I guess it's his online diary (envision a little girl scribbling nonsense in a coloring book and you get the idea).

Reading about some of his YouTube videos (Loughner's), I couldn't help but think about our own conspiracy theorist.

And where is baptism in these verses: Jesus said, "Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life." (John 5:24) Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; 26 and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?” (John 11:25-26) Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." (John 14:6) However, to the one who does not work but trusts God who justifies the ungodly, their faith is credited as righteousness. (Romans 4:5) If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. 11 As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.”[a] 12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” (Romans 10:9-13) For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. (Ephesians 2:8-9) Peter wasn't saying that baptism was part of salvation. He was saying to repent for forgiveness of sins (and to be baptized)

others have covered email viruses, bulletproof vests, and laser printers. So, here's one for scissors: "It is most likely that scissors were invented around 1500 BC in ancient Egypt." (Wikipedia:Scissors[^]). I didn't know that DaVinci was alive back then! Seriously...do you believe everything you see on the web?!

That's difficult because farm subsidies help everyone...not just the farmers. Have you noticed the price of milk in the last 30 years. In 1980, the price was $13.21/cwt. There are approximately 12 gallons in a cwt so that was $1.10 per gallon. In 2010, the price was $16.3/cwt or $1.36 per gallon. There has been a lot of fluctuation in the last few years (2009, it was $12.84/cwt), but from 1980 to 2010, the price went up a full $0.26! To me, that seems like a pretty small increase considering how much the cost of living has increased since 1980. The farm subsidies are really there to allow farmers to continue to sell their products at a lower price so that the person making $25,000 a year can afford to buy milk and bread. Farm subsidies aren't helping the average farmer become upper-class. They're helping them survive!

According to American Catholic, the Catholic church would say, "Infant Baptism only makes sense if parents are true Christian disciples. If they are not, then it makes little sense to initiate their children into a Church which calls for a commitment to living the mission of Christ." But I guess the real question is, will this hurt your relationship with your parents and if so, is that of concern to you? If it's not something that you believe in, but it's something that your parents do, what's the harm? Now, if it's something that you feel is wrong, then explain that to your parents and why.

Baptism is meant for the remission of sins

I'm not sure where you're getting that or what "version" of Christianity you are referring to. To Catholics, baptism "emphasizes the importance of faithfulness on the part of parents when it says to parents: In asking to have your children baptized, "you are accepting the responsibility of training them in the practice of the faith." That word practice is crucial; it calls for Christian modeling on the part of parents." (http://www.americancatholic.org/UpdateYourFaith/answers.asp?QC0389b[^]). To Methodists, baptism "signifies God’s initiative in the process of salvation" (http://www.umc.org/site/c.lwL4KnN1LtH/b.1697379/k.9027/Baptism_Overview.htm[^]). To most Evangelicals, baptism is simply a visible witness that you have accepted salvation and should only be done when the child is old enough to understand what they are doing.

Ah...thanks...makes sense!

Just curious, but I just saw this code and I was wondering what the difference was. The code I saw was (basically):

FontStyle style = someFont.Style;
style |= FontStyle.Italic;

How is that any different than:

FontStyle style = someFont.Style;
style = FontStyle.Italic;

In college, we would go and check out a projector and set up GoldenEye or Mario Kart on our floor and have weekend-long tournaments! Man those were the good days!

wait...you get your g/f to play with you! She's a keeper! I'm only close to getting my wife to agree to an XBox because of the workout stuff with the Kinect. Otherwise, it's a no-go! I'm still stuck in the days of the GameCube! I'd almost rather just have an N64 with GoldenEye...

Yeah, Neverwinter Nights did that for me. About a month of playing it for about 8 hours every night until after 2am left me struggling a bit at work. But I don't avoid games entirely. They still help get you through the work day!

an example:

ss1.str(""); //clear the stringstream
ss1<< i+1; //input number of the label into string stream
