    Where does this guidance come from? Who says the Bible must be interpreted in that way? It seems in a book as complex as the Bible there must be 100s of ways to view it.

    I'm not suggesting the Bible is bad, nor am I suggesting it is good. I'm saying that the Bible is neutral- it can be interpreted in a way that leads to kindness and charity or in a way that leads to hatred and intolerance.

    I don't know statistics on this, but I'm very confident that the majority of Christians are "good" people. However, there are some "bad" ones as well. The Westboro Baptist Church comes to mind! Whilst the WBC holds a despicable view, who is to say their interpretation is less well founded?

    iStudentUK, I understand what you are saying and agree with some of it. People do tend to develop their own worldview and then pick and choose external sources (religion, social groups, philosophies, etc.) to support the view they have already decided upon.

    However, I can't agree that the Bible is "neutral" or relative in that it can correctly be interpreted in any way someone chooses. The Bible is clear in it's express purpose as God's revelation of himself to mankind. The Bible is judged and interpreted against itself using the literary and textual tools of interpretation that we have available to us.

    Like all communication it can only be correctly interpreted in light of the intended meaning of it's original author. This is where faith comes into the process. Followers of Christ hold to the belief that it is God's inspired and inerrant word. The living God is it's author and he inspired men to write within their own historical and literary context to specific audiences at a specific time. All of these contexts become clues that help guide us to His intended meaning.

    Is it complex and hard to understand, sure, but it's theme is consistent and without contradiction. That's why I can easily say that Westboro Baptist's Church's interpretation and resulting actions are not biblicaly grounded. God's word calls us to "love one another" and to be servant leaders in bearing one another's burdens. Westboro seeks to judge, spread hate, and cause dissension. Sure they quote scripture and hide behind an illusion of faith, but they take verses out of context and aren't living out God's commands. They remind me of the Pharisees in scripture towards whom Jesus was extremely harsh because of their duplicitous nature.

    I know this is hard to grasp. One way I try to simplify it for people is to say that any given portion of scripture has one correct interpretation, but various forms of application. This is why you hear people of faith say it is God's living word. I can read a portion of scripture today and it will impact me in one way. When I reread that section later next month, next year, etc. it might impact me in an entirely different way based on how I apply it to my life at the time. The underlying truth and the intended meaning have not changed, but how I've applied it to my present circumstances has.

    As I said before, it's nothing personal, and I didn't think that you believed the Bible was evil. But, the misconceptions you present are common to many and the thought that Scripture is neutral or relative is not only incorrect, but more dangerous as it opens the door wide to allow for further incorrect interpretation and prooftexting.

    I'd also have to disagree with the notion that people are inherently good, but we can save that discussion for another time.

    i think i would rather read a paperback

    wouldnt the screen strain the eyes?

    I have seen ebooks in the past, of course a few years ago, but the eye strain was there. Sony has a new one, but they don't have a backlight, so they say it is just like reading a book. The cost of the books is what bothers me. For that amount, I like a hard copy on my office bookshelf.

    Continuing On...

    The Register had a good article that reflects how I feel:

    Whatever happened to... Mac OS X Leopard? (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/08/08/mac_os_x_leopard_preview/)

    I don't like the Microsoft bashing either...it's just something that gets to me. Microsoft bashing is a waste of energy. Who cares what company did what first, as a consumer I don't care about originality. Just give me something that works. Whatever company can implement the idea the best to provide a benefit to ME, gets my business. Just shut up and innovate (like Apple has been doing), the products will speak for themselves.

    I don't see iTunes making any references to Windows Media Player in their advertising. They don't have to. That's what is great about being No 1, you really don't care that much about who is below you making noise. I just wish that same mentality was applied to the OS.

    No hardware in WWDC '11? Apple always said they are about Software and Hardware, well then it wouldn't make sense for them to omit hardware from the conference.

    Or am i missing something?

    WWDC stands for World Wide Developers Conference.

    That means it's for those of us that are software engineers. It's been that way since it began.

    The problem is Steve couldn't control himself last year and confused the newer people by talking about the iPhone.

    If indeed they keep it on topic this year, there will be no talk or time wasted on hardware. We only have one WWDC each year, hopefully this year Jobs will control himself.

    I drop calls like mad with AT&T. Wonder if it's about time to head over to Verizon, especially if it starts beating AT&T to the punch with features like these.

    I can tell you in San Francisco, a Droid on Verizon is at least 10-100 times better than an iPhone on AT&T.

    While you're at it why not steal car if you can't pay for it? Or go to your local store and swipe an iPhone because you can't afford it? Sounds reasonable then I'm sure. :rolleyes:

    Also, while I'd love cheaper pricing, they are basing their pricing off of economic considerations from their home country and pricing their software accordingly. And it always cracks me to hear "no one will starve they makes lots of money!" well they have to in order to keep making new software!

    see here is where your wrong, i'm not saying you should go and steel from the working class guy...i say take what you got coming...the way i see it, the only reason we can afford to buy a mac and software is because of the west exploiting today's poor country's...your entire world is build on theft in every meaning of the word,yet your to ignorant to see except you guys came up with a name for all the thievery and called it business overseas. Again this proves how ignorant/arrogant the west is, they just took whatever didn't belonged to them, they even took entire country's (does the word colonization mean something to you?) exploited the country's then left the people there to starve because the "civilized" western country's made it impossible for them to build an economy simply because the stripped the entire country of its riches...

    Well, I certainly have a "problem" with the notion that a publicly funded military needs to be maintained in order to protect privately owned enterprises, who by their own free will have set up operations in foreign countries, often at the expense of American jobs.

    Amen.

    And no matter how mighty our military, it seems irrelevant when the commercial interests are in stable, sovereign nations. In unstable nations, we really have no business injecting our military on account of this notion, unless part of a larger peacekeeping force.*

    *Please note that I am suggesting that the peacekeeping force should require our participation as an equal member of a team - the peacekeeping force should not be an afterthought solely used for validating an American military action.

    How would the built-in tuner make the iPod worse? Don't want to use it? Then don't.Except I would have to pay for the parts and the R&D...

    And the iPod would have to be (slightly) bigger to accommodate the extra features... Now, maybe not much for a FM/AM radio, but then what about digital radio...? Or Satellite...? Many places old analogue radio is on its way out... Which radio standards should be supported...?

    You must not be a fan of our physical universe then.

    There is a substantial difference between real 3D and fake 3D. Real 3D is what you see around yourself everyday where depth actually exists. Fake 3D is the rubbish that the movie and electronic industry would like us to pay money for by simulating real 3D on a 2D display. It simply does not work. I don't get headaches from fake 3D but I do get very annoyed at it because I can see that it is fake 3D and it just looks wrong. The only place where I think that fake 3D stands a chance is on an enormous screen like that at an IMAX where you cannot see real 3D at the same time as you are staring at the screen.

    Both of you are wrong.

    Apple is a vertical systems integrator and vendor. They sell an vertically integrated solution that includes both software and hardware. They've been like this since the 70s, back when it was in-style.

    These days, these types of vendors are rare. IBM still is with some POWER machines running AIX, HP has their Itanium/HP-UX systems and of course Oracle and the SPARC/Solaris boxes, but of course, these are mostly big-Iron Unix solutions, which is about the only place you'll find vertical solutions anymore.

    Apple probably is the last of the consumer vendors doing vertical integration.

    I could not agree more. They have been very good at slowly moving more and more of their needs in-house. Their ability to produce their own chips was a brilliant move. I would bet real money you will continue to see them move farther into this area. Clouds, chips, and software give them quite a powerhouse of ability.

    The one thing to remember is that this is a Developer's Conference so there is not going to be a lot of pizazz with flashy announcements. There was not a whole lot of new mind-blowing things announced so he could have been a little bit bored with it.


    Bored with such trivial things as THE OPERATING SYSTEM that runs his entire corporation! I highly doubt that's the case.

    Apple saw the Blu Ray failure coming, so they didn't use Blu Ray. Can't they see that 3D has ALREADY failed?

    3D movies and stuff were "popular" a while back, but not so much now. The 3D TV is a failure. I can't even see any uses for 3D on an iPad except for the occassional 3D movie, but I personally hate them because of the headaches, and I'm sure a lot of people do too.

    What? Blu Ray failed? When?:rolleyes:

    Anyone knows if the mac pro allows us to upgrade to PCI graphics cards bought from retail stores? Will there be any driver issues? Do graphics card vendors include Mac drivers on their installation disc? Never seen one that does though..

    Just went to the Best Buy across my street that had the iPad 2 in there deals of the week thingy and they said they would have a ton, went an hour early they don't have any, 10 minutes prior to store opening they don't have any. They said they aren't getting any but you can put $100 down to reserve one to get it by the beginning of May. Fk that, online Apple store it is for the same amount of time. Also target's, toy's r'us, etc don't have any even though they say they do. Just a heads up if you're in a booming city on the east coast.

    this made my day. little things like this go a long way for a companies user base. Reminds me of Pixar's stint for a little girls dying request to see the movie (http://www.justpressplay.net/movies/movie-news/5530-pixar-grants-dying-10-year-olds-wish-to-see-qupq-before-she-dies.html)
