OT: Statistics for Jim

Pat P said

Digging back to when I was a low level geekess, I vaguely recall that the codes for ASCII characters aren't as universal as people think. For example, on PCs using some variation of Windows, the way they're displayed is dependent on the language invoked during the machine's set up.

I could be very, very wrong.

Thanks for the head up. Yes, he's a Holocaust denyer, which is why I said: (if there was a holocaust) I meant that to reflect his feelings when he spoke of the situation. Not to reflect how I felt. That wasn't clear and I apologize for any misunderstanding.

I thought that, as well, as I watched the man speak. Sometimes it was quite incredulous for a man of his education. However, I quickly remembered several people I know who have deep rooted viases in spite of facts to the contrary. Such as the professor in Chicago who also denies the Holocaust.

That's what DP-EU says. Makes sense I guess that you would want to easily type special characters that are commonly used in your own language and not be so picky about the availability of stuff in other languages.

Dianne: Let me first state that the following is my personal belief (yes as a Christian, and a supposter of Israel): I feel very strongly that not only are we in the last days, but the last hours (figuratively speaking), regardless if Israel has posession of the Gaza Strip. The Bible itself states that we know not the hour of His return, so as far as quickening the end times... their is no need to quicken it, read Revelation and see if some things don't sound as if they are coming to pass, although, what I have read of Revelation, it can be very confusing. As for my belief that the Gaza strip belongs to Israel, I absolutely do. It was given to Israel by God (the book of Exodus says that quite plainly), as for the idea of Israel being the chosen nation of God, well, that would take a whole lot longer and more time than I have at present to get into. I am sorry to take so long to get back to you as I have had a lot going on lately.

Oh, heavens, Angela. Don't apologize for a less than timely response. Our lives are all full. Some weeks more than it seems we can handle!

I was just reiterating what some preachers and Christians in this country are claiming. I have no quarrel with your belief system as long as it's not being used to stir up world affairs under the guise of fulfilling some ancient purported prophecy.

Actually, Paul thought that Jesus would return quickly. I've read Revelations. Like Nostradamas, it makes for interesting reading, but it can be interpreted myriad ways. I just recently saw a documentary on Revelations. Lots of disagreement by theologians. Some who interpret it much like our English nursery rhymes. Hidden meanings that people of the day understood but wouldn't dare say out loud. So it was couched in cryptic writings.

May you find peace in your belief system.
