[QUOTE="anasbouzid"][QUOTE="TehFuneral"]

Yeah, many Muslims do that in Ramdan. They tend be religious in Ramdan only and completely not on any other month.

The same goes for the issue of cursing.

Yeah, sadly some people go through the motions without really getting it; their heart is not in it, Islam that is. It is good to keep in mind that Islam takes into account that we will make mistakes and that we may get weaker in our faith from time to time; we are human after all. You know, one of the purposes of Ramadan is to rejouvinate our eman (faith) through the practice of abstaining from cursing, anger, violence, food, sins in general, etc. Most of these things one should try not to ever do anytime during the year but the consequence is greater in ramadan. If a muslim knowingly willingly breaks his fast before sunset, the fast cannot be made up and thus he has failed to fulfill one of the 5 main requirements of Islam which is very serious. If one were to do sin on a day not in Ramadan than it is recorded as a sin of weight proportioned to its level of sinfulness and he does not lose a day of Ramadan in addition (sins can break ones fast).

I would of commented earlier, but I was eating so I couldn't type. It is a shame really, I don't even see why they waste their time in this religion unless they are fully committed all year.

Funny. Yeah, a lot of people are commited, but these days the popular trend is to not be very religious, unfortunately.

Like everybody is saying. Get a book like C++ Primer Plus, open it up in front of a computer, read it and work the examples and solve the problems programmatically. It is important to take the time to understand the big concepts, it helps for when you try to learn another language. Also, it better to work challenging problems that are given to you rather than make up the problems yourself.

[QUOTE="Solid_Tango"]You know i was telling my a co worker of mine to look at this chick so who just got to the store and he was like nonoon, its ramadan i cant even think about it, and i thought it was totally hypocrite of him not to look just because its a holy month, while any other month he would stare at her with me and talk about how fine she was :/TehFuneral

[QUOTE="wolverine4262"]

[QUOTE="CaveJohnson1"]Islam must be encouraging it to some degree, why else do we not see these levels of violence from other religions?

CaveJohnson1

I think it has more to do with people using Islam to further their own cause. Whether they believe it or not, they use it as a tool. Most Muslims would tell you the fact that they are killing at all shows they are not of the Islamic faith.

No, just no, I don't think you understand the situation at all....

Actually, he has it right...and the US Govt is finally realizing this too. These extremist are very similar in the way they operate to the Drug gangs in Mexico. They use Islam to become more popular. They kill way more Muslims then people of other faiths or citizens of western countries. You can look at every aspect of their behavior and find it clearly contradicts Islam. They lie, steal money...heck some of them even grow and sell drugs. To not see them as the criminals that they are and to point to them as evidence that Islam is bad is to make Islam the problem and not the criminals themselves, lack of education, poor conditions of the people in those regions (Somalia is a case in point). When you claim that Islam the problem, then the logical course of action is to eliminate Islam:to fight it and its followers. This is very problematic for many reasons. One, the only time Islam says that Muslims should go to war and fight is to defend/protect themselves and the religion. So by fighting Islam and Muslims, you force them to fight you (and you sort-of justify the claims of the opportunistic terrorists). Two, this would help Christians immensely in their efforts to convert everyone to Christianity because it puts everyone in the west at least against it "competitor" Islam (the second largest and the fastest growing religion)....how convenient. Three, this would lower the chance of actually eliminating or catching the terrorists because much attention is given to those who have no intention of committing terrorist acts.

Facebook is the new myspace. It has gotten pretty bad. The site is getting worse by trying to add new things, people are constantly complaining or bragging about their life. Trying to get pity attention by putting up sad faces, music lyrics that...let's face it, nobody wants to see it. Nobody caes. etc etc. the only thing I use it for is posting cool videos to show to friends or spread useful news and stuff like that. Google Plus might hit it big, then it will fall. But it is getting there.

The site is full of fakery and posturing.

No expensive smartphone plans please. I'd rather keep my cheap go-phone and use a dedicated "mp3 + apps" player instead. Much better option. And yeah, iPod Touch 5 might be released in September if the usual pattern follows.

[QUOTE="dercoo"]

[QUOTE="ThePlothole"] Not everyone has or wants a smartphone. Even if they use a cellphone, they may not want to pay for the mandatory data plan. And some people are concerned with the limited battery life being shared among all these different things.Serraph105

You don't need a data plan, as you could always stick with wifi only.

Battery life really the same for the ipod touch series, except only the music playback only mode (which would produce good battery life on a smartphone too)

Smartphones have made large mp3 players obsolete.

They're faster, have better hardware, have 3g/4g options, and are often cheaper with a phone contract

say what you want, but I love my itouch, and I won't wait around for someone to create a viable android alternative.

There is one already out. The Samsung S player. It has a microSD slot.

[QUOTE="ThePlothole"][QUOTE="dercoo"]

With he advent of smartphones, full size dedicated MP3 players are going the way of the cassette walkman

That includes the ipod

dercoo

The iPod Touch isn't a dedicated MP3 player. It's an iPhone without the phone part. Meaning it can run almost every iPhone app.

Its stillpointless and an unnecessary gadget when you just have a more powerful smartphone already.

An Iphone itself has more horse power under the hood, so no new Ipod will = new iphone

I mean I could maybe understand if you want an android & I device, but thats still a waste of money for most people, and a 2nd gadget to lob around.

I almost totally disagree. I liken the Ipod touch to an ipad that fits in you pocket. In fact, I cannot understand why so many people opt for the smartphone. Why? Because there is a significant monthly charge for using data that one pays on top of everything that one pays for any non-smart-phone. Its like I am paying to receive the data that is sent by my router that I also pay for; I am paying twice over for the same data. IMO it is a big scam. There is a reason the Iphone sells for like 700 bucks (more than an ipad 2) with no contract. I myself have an ipod and a small free phone with no-data plan and couldnt be more satisfied. I love how the ipod 4g is really thin and feels great in my hands.

There are 5 males for every 1 woman with an IQ of 130.

This curve is an exponential rise, in favour of men. That means the difference between men and women, who have an IQ of 140, 150, 160 etc. is a continually-augmenting disparity.

What gives?

I blame media and culture. This is pretty much the answer I would give no matter where I lived.

I am going to sound really arrogant here so please forgive.

I love it that so many people are saying computer and the internet when to me they are two things that where bound to come up in one form or another. In other words, their existance is not so amazing to me because I feel that they are a natural developement for us humans. First of all, the two seem to people to be more complex than they actually were in there early stages. The main concepts behind the functionality of the two are very simple to understand; to a useful extent, one can use the brain as an analogy. I remember how surprised I was to learn in the computer architecture course I took how very simple computer architecture was (up to when cpu went 64 bit). That course was fun; I got to built from the ground up via software and some programmable hardware device a computer as powerful as an NES. Heck I even constructed my own crippled programming language and compiler. Anyways, I think that if one can understand how programming works then the can understand how computers and the internet work. What amazes me about the two is how much the two have improved, especially in the last decade. Our phones are more powerful now than desktops where in 2000 and we now have quantum computers and transparent displays and capacitive touch screens, motion detection, bluetooth, color e-ink, and paper-displays and bio-computers, and impressive AI.
