Comment QNX all over again? (Score 1) 365

This sounds like the QNX operating system all over again, but i don't really know. Small kernal, C++. The last time i heard the QNX kernel was 45k, maybe now it's a few megabytes. Could be very interesting. One of the things Linux has going for it is momentum in the marketplace. BOOS-MOOL if it's a successful implementation could challenge the Linux people to a new way of thinking.

Comment Jesus and Prayer (Score 1) 529

Jesus came to connect man to God. His death on the Roman cross and the raising of him from death to life by God the Father is how he did it. People are convicted of sin, because they don't believe in Jesus Christ, not because they don't follow rules and regulations. In other words, one senses their need to believe in Jesus, when the good news is proclaimed. Acting on that information and accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and saviour is how one gets eternal life. Anyone who accepts Jesus is called a Christian. The word Christian means little Christ. That's why Jesus said to pray to God the Father in his name. He said ask and you will receive. That's why prayer is effective, God answers prayers. People who pray are connected with God and experience him through Jesus. There is a reality that is present when one is connected to God.

Submission + - Help me get my math back 2

nwm writes: I am trying to refresh my math skills back to the point that I can take college-level statistics and calculus courses. I took everything through AP calculus in high school, had my butt kicked by college calculus, and dropped out of college shortly thereafter. Twenty+ years later, I need to take a few math courses to wrap up a degree. I've dug around some and found a few sites with useful information, but I'm hoping the /. crowd can offer some good resources (sites, books, programs, online tutors, etc.). I really don't want to have to take a series of algebra-geometry-trig "pre-college" level courses (each at full cost and each a semester long) just to warm my brain up. I'd much rather find some resources, review, cram, and take the placement test with some confidence. Any suggestions?
