(...) Hi Eric. I agree to a point, but I use LegOS because I'm a programmer and I like getting dirty. And it does allow me to do things RCX code can't - I used it on my tower crane www.lugnet.com/~469/...towercrane so I could control both RCXs with (...)

Hi Eric, first of all, i understand your motivation and i think it's a nice approach to lego !! I've only got some annotations. When only using "out of the box" stuff you should let the other people know this point of view. (Other people might have (...) (23 years ago, 20-Apr-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) that. Yes, exactly. Moslems acknowledge Jesus only as a prophet, not as God as most Christians do. They do believe in the immaculate conception but also make note that Jesus had siblings.

It's a one-time blanket consent (who's not going to consent if the alternative is no treatment?), and this is the standard that applies to orgs, not to the government.

(...) Okay, but the only problem with that is that Jesus claimed to be more than a prophet. I mean that's what got him killed was the "blasphemy" of referring to himself as "I Am." I'm sure the Moslems have a problem with that. By calling Jesus a (...) (24 years ago, 14-Apr-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
