Oh My God: Divinity (God)
Commented Nov 16, 2009 at 18:14:02 in Entertainment
“True Divinity, then, is not divinity at all -- it's simply the magnificence of the universe.
False Divinity is essentially *any* kind of divinity, where you look to a mythic, magic, unprovable figure to meet all your selfish temporal needs with no sigificant work or payment on your part.
I think those who seek a god (and who among us has not, at one time or another?) long for our parents, for that certainty of being cared for, protected, taught right and wrong.
When I was a tiny child my parents were three times my height and size, had absolute authority over me and were the ultimate moral authority -- despite their obvious flaws and shortcomings. They were my punishers, my rewarders. I had to do what they said, even if I didn't always understand why. They always knew what was best for me. They were both loving and terrifying all at once. They took me places, left and came mysteriously of their own will, did what they want.
Sound familiar?
Those who truly grow up to see the world as it is know that reaching for a 'god' is merely longing for a reality that is no more for a childhood that is gone. We are adults now. We must care for ourselves, govern ourselves, guide ourselves, protect ourselves...and our children. And thus it all goes 'round again.”

“I'm sure you were just trying to be humorous, bimplebean. With a name like that, what other excuse could you have?
However, the dial-up, to which I referred, if you read my response carefully, specifically mentioned that, when my XP with DSL was disabled, I used an old computer -- with Windows 95 and a dial-up connection -- so that I would at least be able to get onto the Internet to retrieve my email.
I had no functioning computer at home and, while waiting for my XP computer (with DSL) to be repaired and the opportunity to buy the Windows 7 computer not yet available because of the October 22 launch date, I was able to use the old system as a functional (though very slow) back-up.
Regarding the modem "tease" I haven't a clue what that meant, unless you believe everyone (even with only one computer) has to have a wireless router system or some such.
Honestly, the superior attitudes some of you have, as opposed to those like Stephanie, who clearly was trying to help, is beyond me, and when you make statements such as you did you're putting a slam on many, many HuffPost readers, who may not need or desire the techno stuff and latest gadgetry.
In any event, my Windows 7 computer is no more, and, for the moment, I am happily back with my XP, surfing the Internet very fast with the top DSL speed, enjoying my webcam and printer and watching crisp, clear videos. Oh, and I got a pretty good protection system (Webroot) so I'll hopefully be safe for awhile.”

“The most odious statement that can be made in situations like this is "we regret the error."
Note that 'regret' is different than being 'sorry.' Being sorry means you're repentant -- regret is a hollow wish that the bad thing had not happened.

“The only way we can get out of this mess is for Americans are freed from big government. Then they can form a new organization to get us out of this mess. The organization will have leaders elected by the people, some to run things, others to represent the interests of people from the various groups within the organization. We'll give money to the organization so it can function, buying and building what needs to be bought and built. We'll have to make sure the organization has rules, and has control over what is bought and how its money is spent. If any of the leaders or elected officials do something bad, no worries, the people can vote them out in the next election. Simple!
Yeah, once we get rid of government the American people will be free to come up with their own organization to solve all these problems!”

“This post is right on the money. I have a printer and a scanner that are not that old, still work fine, but the Visioneer scanner is categorized as 'end-of-life' on their website. The company has no incentive to retool drivers for Win7 for this scanner -- in fact, they have a financial incentive in NOT upgrading the drivers. Except for the fact that I will now never buy a Visioneer scanner again. How hard could it really be to port a driver? C'mon guys.”

“Thanks, bimplebean (though I almost feel like I've just insulted you!)
I, too, have a Visioneer scanner, which was the only thing that did not work when I upgraded to XP in 2004.
So, I kept my Windows 95 computer at the ready, and whenever I needed a scanner, I plugged it into my old Panasonic 4410 printer (which also worked with XP) and then connected that to the Windows 95 computer. I was pissed at the time, and it seems as if Visioneer has not changed its spots for newer buyers such as yourself, who want it to work for Windows 7.
Interestingly, and as a side note, while waiting for Windows 7 availability after my XP was struck with a disabling virus, during that week I plugged in the old Windows 95 and was able to use its modem and dial-up connection to at least get my email and basic Internet stuff (though it's much slower now with the designs of the new Internet web pages than it was when I used it in the late nineties through 2004. It never took several minutes just to load a page). So, if you are able, don't throw that old computer away, as it can come in handy for emergencies such as mine.
Let's hope our message gets through.”
