    Do you believe in God?

    I've used the word "proof" loosely here but I don't think it changes anything. Obviously, proving God exists isn't going to be similar to a math proof. Math proofs are clean because the definitions they're built on are unambiguous and universally accepted. Good luck finding an unambiguous and...

    How did this site (MS) do this?

    In making my website, I'm looking at existing websites for good layouts and slick interfaces. I like one aspect of Microsoft's homepage. I'm attaching screenshots in case any of you would prefer not to visit the website ;). Basically, as you mouseover their main menu, very nice drop down menus...

    Do you believe in God?

    I agree with what you've said here. I'd personally like to witness such a "proof." But I do think it is an extraordinary request! Think about what you're asking for: 1. A supernatural feat or miracle 2. The cooperation of a "special" person (God, prophet, whatever) 3. The feat repeated...

    Programming your own forum

    For any .NET programmers: I found this open-source ASP.NET/C# forum: http://www.yetanotherforum.net/ It uses Microsoft SQL Server which I believe is incompatible with X10. However, I think one could go and substitute all the MS SQL references with MySQL references ...

    Thanks. I'm not sure how it works on Windows. I deciphered the Studio's auto-generated HTML and it just points to an .application file it creates. I guess it's just an executable like any old .exe file. But you click the button and it all works (on windows). I'll probably just install...

    Content Layout Advice...

    Pretty cool original (to my eyes at least) layout. When I tried to figure out the theme, my first guess was a bunch of papers and post-it notes taped to a faux-wood wall. But looking further, it seems this stuff is lying on a desk. Anyway ... It was a little slow to load the first time on...

    [REQ] [100 + 100] Simple Linux / Mac testing

    I don't know how to run an .application either ... but Windows does. It should run with a simple click of the mouse button (or two clicks to trust the publisher). Screen capture what you're seeing and you're done. If you recall, I wanted either the working game - OR - or the error message you...

    Do you believe in God?

    Don't assume it is my goal to prove God exists. Don't assume I believe in God. My goal is to show that if you're waiting [on these board or in your life] for human or scientific method proof that God exists, you might be waiting for something that is completely impossible and non-existent...

    Programming your own forum

    Are most forum scripts tied to an SQL database? Or do some scripts reside solely in PHP, ASP, or ASP.NET/C#/VB code without an SQL database for posts and user accounts? Has anyone tried to write their own forum software?

    Do you believe in God?

    Huh? Is this a court of law or are we having a conversation? I just presented a question. What could feasibly or hypothetically constitute scientific evidence of God? As for the peer-review process. I think I've said all I'm going to say. I have experience in the field so it isn't like...

    [REQ] [100 + 100] Simple Linux / Mac testing

    I'm simply trying to see if my sudoku game at www.wyrbel.com runs or fails-to-run on a Mac and Linux machine. I don't own a Mac and I'm too lazy to setup Linux (although I will probably do that eventually just for this purpose). In theory, a Mac or Linux machine with Mono installed can run my...

    Do you believe in God?

    Since God isn't universally defined, it is nearly impossible to find evidence to support something that isn't universally defined. One definition is an all-powerful being; in that case, witnessing God do things that were otherwise impossible would seem to be evidence. [This leads the doubter...

    Do you believe in God?

    Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John all saw similar events (ie miracles) that have no scientific explanation. Sincerely, Devil's Advocate

    Do you believe in God?

    Correct. There are good journals and good conferences that reject 80% or more of papers submitted. But these same journals and conferences don't actually travel to your lab and witness you collect your data and perform your experiments. In reality, people publish in top conferences and...

    [REQ] [100 + 100] Simple Linux / Mac testing

    It is up at the moment. A couple hours ago it was down for at least an hour or two and I think that was related to X10 re-working Apache. Some related links: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ClickOnce How this is published ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mono_(software) Mono Project wiki

    Do you believe in God?

    Fun thread. :biggrin: Ironically, you could argue the Bible is a collection of papers that is peer-reviewed by experts in the Christian religion. You don't have chemists reviewing software security papers and vice versa. Peer review allows plenty of trash to get published although that...

    Michael Jackson reported dead

    Man, I don't see anyone claiming Michael Jackson did more good for the world than the unheralded social worker who moves to another country to help the less fortunate. Michael Jackson isn't a saint. He was however a historic figure. Terms like "historic" don't denigrate the charitable social...
