ATI fglrx vs radeonhd
PoeticIntensity
Man... Starting my new job, I had the opportunity to build a new computer. They ordered me the parts, and I was good to go.
For this computer, I opted to buy two acer 22-inch widescreen monitors. In doing so, I knew I would have to be up and functioning quickly with a dual-head setup running gentoo Linux. I knew this was ...

Source of Evil...
PoeticIntensity
Me and my good friend Scott chatted for far too long today about a very interesting subject. The subject was brought about by this article, which, in essence is just a conversation between an aethiestic professor and two of his students.
In a nutshell, the professor makes the claim of God creating Satan, and thus creating evil, and thereby ...

So, about this chapter.
Nothing really jumped out at me as being extraordinary, and I didn't expect it to be so short. It seemed like this chapter was just a wrap-up chapter for the a...

One way I really enjoy reading the scriptures is from a very empathetic point of view. I find I learn more when I study, if I try to imagine what would *really* be going on if I were actually within the scripture.
Chapter 4 is perfect for this. Reading somewhat between the lines of the first part of this chapter allows us to imagine ...

Other than that, this seems to just be a transition verse from preaching in Zarahemla to preaching in Gideon.
It also speaks about membership of t...
