The end of Islam?

By Andrew
All eyes are on Islam right now. The global acceptance or rejection of Islam hinges on the response of "everyday" muslims. Let me be very clear; we as non-muslims do not exist to serve Islam. On the contrary, Islam exists because we tolerate it and our tolerance is running thin.


If you want a place for Islam in this world you need to keep your doctrine peaceful, respectful and honest. Muslim children need to see that respectable Muslim people will openly condemn murder especially if it's in the name of Allah. Extremists need to be rejected by muslims as embarrassments to Islam.

This is not a friendly suggestion, this is an absolute requirement. If you want a place for Islam in the world then the religion must openly respect everyone, including those who criticise it. Without exception!

Islam, like any other religion, is an idea and all ideas must be subjected to constant scrutiny. If the idea stands up under those conditions then it has value, otherwise it deserves to be diminished.

I suspect that the majority of Muslims are themselves very unsure about Islam but are too afraid to openly admit it. Those who are confident about their thoughts and ideas are not easily offended by criticism.

Quake3 in HD

By Andrew
Dust off the old PK3 files: Although it's over 10 years old, Quake 3 is still being played in offices around the world. Since id software has open sourced the Quake 3 engine; a community of developers has created an updated engine called ioquake3 and has recently also included a high resolution texture pack . ioquake3 is 100% compatable with Quake3 v1.32 so you will be able to join servers running the original Quake3 engine and vice versa. All you will need are the original pk3 files found in your Quake 3 baseq3 folder.

A Profound Understanding of Technology

By Andrew
The rate of technological growth is very predictable and is exponential. To draw a correlation; the Mayan calendar is understood to be a measure of significant technological events with an exponential decrease in interval time. This almost immediately disproves the man-in-the-sky idea of god because once we have successfully reverse engineered the human body we will be able to make vast performance improvements. The predictability of technology also simultaneously proves that there is some kind of divine plan at work. The machines will eventually take over but we won't be separate from them, we will become self-engineered, bio-mechanical, super intelligent beings. The singularity is upon us :D

Oracle Doesn’t Get Open Source

By Andrew
Oracle claimed that the EU didn’t get open source when they tried to prevent Oracle’s acquisition of Sun . It’s plain to see that the acquisition was purely to destroy the competition. Sun is dead and it’s software is slowly being buried with it. Well, not quite; Sun actively developed three of the worlds most important open source contributions; Java , MySQL and OpenOffice.org . Regardless of the loopholes that Oracle is trying to pursue with their current case against Google , once a copyleft license is applied, the product effectively becomes the property of the consumer. When the deal was announced, the open source community was up in arms however i believed that Oracle was simply waking up to the necessity for open source in the software industry. The world is not ready to drop the proprietary model just yet but a software company the size of Oracle must have realised that they were falling behind. I was wrong, Oracle have no clue about open source and apparently have no int...
