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 ...

The buttons were too far apart, and it just felt a bit more ...

1st Nephi : 8
PoeticIntensity
I'm not in the mood to write much, but since it's a goal, I'll keep it.
One thing I noticed and had a question about was why Nephi, Sariah, and Sam didn't know where to go in Lehi's dream. Verse 14 lays it out quite plainly.
The first thing that came to mind was Lehi was the leader of the family. He was the director and it was his d...

The footnotes on that sentence seem to confirm the vague meaning I'm deriving from it as well.
