What’s the Difference Between Lying and Kidding?

Nothing!

Has someone ever insulted you or said something that you dislike, then said that he was kidding? Did you know that this is actually a form of lying?

Here is what the Bible says about the subject:

“It’s no crazier to shoot
    sharp and flaming arrows
     than to cheat [lie to] someone and say,
    ‘I was only fooling!’ ” – Proverbs 26:18-20 CEV

Remember, kidding = lying!

Hyper-V Server 2012 is FREE

To all of you computer geeks out there, Microsoft has a free virtualization product called Hyper-V Server 2012. Go here to get it!: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/server-cloud/hyper-v-server/default.aspx

Hyper-V is a virtualization software program that will allow you to run virtual “computers” inside your physical computer. For example, I could run Windows XP on an virtual PC setup (via Hyper-V) on my physical desktop computer.

Virtualization is really cool technology!

Advantages to Using a Graphical User Interface (GUI) Instead of Command Line

Here are advantages to using a GUI (point-and-click interface) instead of command line (typing commands, instead of point-and-clicking).

  1. Saves time editing configuration settings manually.
  2. Helps prevent mistakes that can easily happen when editing config files manually.
  3. Allows for easy memorization of tasks. You remember where you are supposed to point-and-click, instead of having to remember commands to type into a terminal.
  4. Allows average computer users (e.g., my grandma) to easily use a computer, without having to mess with the command line.
  5. Really helps to sell your software. Most people would not buy your software, if it did not have a point-and-click interface for them to use.
  6. This kinda goes along with #5, but having a graphical interface makes your software look professional to people who may be interested in using it.

Faster Internet Speed!

 

On Friday, Cox Communications put me on a new IP and a new Internet gateway. I don’t know if it is just me, but the Internet speeds seem to have been improved since the change.

Here is a picture of the results from an Internet speed test I took:

Internet Speed Test Results

Before the change, the Download speed was an average of about 20 Mb/s and the Upload speed was around 6.7 Mb/s.

I thought that was cool!
