From Gnome to XFCE
PoeticIntensity
Okay... As most of you know, I use Linux for pretty much everything I do which requires a computer. When I started using Linux, I waffled between KDE and Gnome for probably 6-10 months when I finally settled on Gnome. I haven't looked back since.... almost.
About 6 months ago, Gnome came out with a release which implemented the...

Children Of God
PoeticIntensity
Once, after inquiring the reasons why he believed Mormonism was wrong, a good Baptist friend of mine began telling me about Satan and his desire to take the throne of God before the world was.
Everything he told me was true and accurate, as far as my knowledge goes. Satan did try to take the throne of God and was thusly cast out of heaven ...

Ugliest Animal Ever

To begin, quite honestly, let me say this:
Without OpenOffice.org, using Linux in a professional environment (which I have been doing now for 4 straight years across 4 different companies) would have been, and would currently be, much more difficult at the very least.
Those who have desk jobs, and more specifically programming jobs, know how...

This chapter is a great pre-cursor to the chapters to follow. Nephi explains why he like the words of Isaiah, as well as the fact that he likes to bring people to Christ.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints
We believe other lands had visits from Christ.
They saw signs in the heavens, they knew His name.
He taught them, they felt His wounds, He dried their eyes.
The Book of Mormon testifies that He came.
We're Christians otherwise nicknamed “The Mormons”.
