    Third line force: Trying to buy a notebook minus Windows XP

    I'm currently in the market for a notebook computer and I have no intention of using Windows XP hence no intention of paying for it. Unfortunately every single vendor I approached have stated that they cannot supply without XP because of their contractural arrangements with Microsoft. The EULA...

    King's Gambit Declined

    The following is a recent game I played as white. I like to play the King's Gambit because it moves quickly to an end-game. I tend to make mistakes in the middle game, so the less time I spend there together. However in this game, my opponent declined the gambit. I don't get that much and as a...

    SLES/SLED 10 Launch

    I went to the Suse Linux Enterprise Desktop/Server launch on Tuesday. Prior to going in I wolfed a stack of complimentary ham and cheese croissants and a couple of soy hot chocolates. SLED is an impressive Desktop. I plan to implement it on my main PC this weekend (although I may give SLES a...

    Cadillacs to Zion

    Years ago I was emailed a fictional article entitled "Cadillacs to Zion" that was highly critical of the CoJCoLDS from a Fundy LDS. It was one of the most hilarious things I've ever read! I've lost my copy and no google search has ever come up with it. Does anyone know where I can get another...

    Sundry Discussions

    I have created this thread to move some of my discussions in topics where I don't want to stray too far from the OP. In particular, I have moved some discussions from my Contradictions thread.

    Canonic Influence

    There has been much discussion in the past on determining and accepting works of scripture. For the purposes of this thread I want to avoid classifying what is and what isn't scripture and focus upon what effect the acceptance of extra-Biblical works as scripture has on the interpretation and...

    Would it be better to be blissfully ignorant?

    Consider the above poll: If the Buddhist is saved because he never heard of Christ, wouldn't it be better for Christians to keep people ignorant of Christ and just teach people to 'be good'? Everybody agrees it's a good thing to be nice to each other, but many people reject Jesus and are still...

    What "Mormons" really believe

    I came across an anti-everything website recently that wasn't too bad actually! They did a fairly good job of trying to make rebuttals simple and clear. Some of it was amusing, but because they were kind enough to be concise and not write 500 pages of reasons 'why Mormon's suck' it actally makes...

    Baptist Book of Mormon?

    I was sent the following link: http://www.centerplace.org/library/bofm/baptistversionofbofm.htm I'm curious to know what our OC posters think of this. A practicing Baptist Minister using the Book of Mormon? Is this true or is it fake? I'd like to limit responses to non-LDS posters if that is...

    What is the Biblical definition of a Christian?

    With all the confusion going on, I decided to see what the Bible had to say about who is and who isn't a Christian. Now the word 'Christian' comes into play very late in the Bible. It's first recorded use is at Antioch, where it was probably used derogatorily, in a similar way that the term...

    Where does the Book of Mormon contradict the Bible

    I don't know how many times I have read the BoM. I'd say it is something between seven and twelve times. Currently I am re-reading the New Testament consecutively, which I must confess is only the third time I have done it this way, usually I read it book by book all over the place, so the...
