Weight is not a huge issue as long as it's not over 2-3 lbs.

If I turn all the settings on my laptop down then i can just get three hours of battery life. I'd like more and have heard of 12 cell batteries. -How do I know which battery to get?(laptop is an asus X83VB and has a 6-cell battery) -Were do I buy the battery?(best buy, asus website, battery store?) -Will a battery with more cells(???) actually increase my battery life by very much?

No discussing torrenting on forum.tip.it.

My examples weren't the point, my point was: How are you sure?

If Jesus's ascension was a metaphor then why couldn't Jesus being god or the ten commandments or heaven and hell be a a metaphor?

Every single debate i have with a christian comes back to this exact same point. On faith....how do you choose which god to believe in? When you have no logical basis, why is Yahweh any more believable than Thor, Zeus, Voldamort or The Flying Spaghetti Monster? Odin is the supreme god in norse mythology and thor just a lesser god... :geek: You can still worship Thor as a god. :ugeek:

I would recommend avira for free av, but if you are that worried about viruses then I'd suggest getting nod32, it's paid but only $5 per month($60/year) and you'd be getting guarantied protection. edit: 1337 posts :D (sadly its my second time getting it(rollover))

If it just happens with firefox then try reinstalling it or better yet download opera, which(imo) is a much better browser.

What browser are you using?

If it's just for when you use steam then it might be a problem with the QoS(Quality of service). Go into the router control pannel and see if there is an option to turn off QoS.

No

The offtopic forum just isn't that big, a large proportion of the posts there go into "debate" style topics(maybe 1/3-4/7). If it was overflowing with debates that pushed everything out of the way then one could be instituted, but that's not the case.

Same. My parents get pissed if I even leave a light on while not needing it, let alone an electricity guzzling PC. A street light will use up more electricity in one night than your pc will in its whole lifetime, but even that amount is tiny in comparison to the electricity that is wasted traveling from the power plant to your house. I restart my computer after installing software, etc., but otherwise I put it to sleep when I'm not using it.

There is such a thing as tough love, you know. You can't learn from mistakes if you are not allowed to make them. We are all given choices. Choices to do the right thing, choices to do the wrong thing. Sometimes we don't make a choice at all and it seems to either help or hurts us. Our decisions may only seem to affect us in the present, but, they will certainly add up in the end. Life has suffering because of sin. This life is merely the tarnished remnant of a world that was once perfect. We have tough love because it's the only way to do things sometimes, this isn't the case with an omniscient and benevolent god. If god was truly omniscient and all good then there would be no suffering at all. He wouldn't have to "use evil to fulfill his wishes, he could just do it. Also the full quote: Saying this or this because of omni-anything probably wouldn't work. Given God could just say this IS the right way of doing it. God is omnipotent, so, He could do two things that "supposedly" conflict with each other, but, do not. Why? Because He is omni-potent. Paradox? Maybe. Does it prevent God from doing anything? No. God can do whatever. Not true, god is(according to religious people)omnipotent in a subjective sense, not an objective sense. From our view he is omnipotent and all benevolent, "evil" cannot enter into that equation.

It wont reduce the lag, you'd need a new graphics card(although, I'm a RAM [bleep] so I'd do it anyways).

As in you can chose whether or not to be homosexual or heterosexual?

Yay, maybe the fireworks that have been going off every night for the past week will stop(not gonna happen, I'll be doomed to going to sleep at 1:00 for months :wall: )
